RE: [Zope] ZMailIn - alternatives?

The ZMailIn system doesn't use the x-envelope-to header it uses the envelope-to header. If your mail server provides x-envelope-to instead of envelope-to then you need to change lines 83 and 84 in zopeMailIn.py to reflect this change. > As far as I understood the problem, the mail server should > provide this feature, but mine doesn't. ;-( What mail server are you using. I know exim works fine and I have heard reports of people using send-mail > Thus I can't mail into the system. Any idea for workarounds? If you still can't get it working then email me the exact details. Prehaps then I'll find an excuse to update ZMailIn and release another version :) -Andy

I think "user information folder" product is what you need. Take a look here: http://www.zope.org/Members/did/UserInfoFolder --- Keith Alperin <KAlperin(a)ignitemedia.com> wrote: > Greetings.

security problems .. should be fairly easy...
by Bowyer, Alex 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

I know I am posting quite a lot of questions to the list lately, sorry about that, it's just that I can save myself hours of trial-and-error coding when I get quick answers from list, so I hope you don't mind. It seems to be the fastest way to learn. I have a news page ZClass and a news article ZClass, both of which have several DTML methods. All methods apart from index_html should require a particular user role, "UAAdmin", to be held by the current user (thee mathods are all for editing anf manging the news page and articles). The index_html methods (which display the news article) should be available for anonymous access. I have been stuck with this for over a week now, I have tried all sort of combinations of permissions, defined permissions and user roles, but I can't figure it out and I can't find any examples in any of the Zope documentation about how to manage permissions for class methods. Does anyone know where I could find such documentation or examples if there are any? The whole thing's very confusing, but here's what I've worked out so far. Maybe someone could put me right and/or fill in the gaps? I think what I need to do is got the Define Permissions tab for each method, and for the View permission dropdown I should select View for the index_html method, and some other permission X for every other method. This other permission X should only be granted to the UAAdmin role. The question is, what is X to put in the dropdown, and how to assign it to UAAdmin. How would I go about creating a new permission, perhaps "Manage news pages", and how could I then assign that to UAAdmin? Would it then appear in the drop-down? Is this the right approach? How would I finish this off? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome. Thanks for your patience with newbies like me!!

User Class
by Keith Alperin 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Greetings. I'm a bit of a Zope and Python newbie, so please forgive me if I get some of the lingo wrong. I would like to build a user class in python where I can store information like "First Name", "Last Name" etc. I would also like to store the userid and password in the instances of this class, and authenticate against them. It seems as though I should inherit from the Zope user class, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that. Thanks so much in advance! Keith R. Alperin

PTK won't let me add objects
by Paul Winkler 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Hi, I'm working on a site based on the PTK DemoPortal. PTK is a great product, so I was happy to see a new release announced recently and took the opportunity (yesterday) to update my PTK installation from CVS. Well, now the Zope management interface won't let me add anything inside the Portal except Document, Link, News Item, Portal File, Portal Folder, and Portal Image. I'm NOT talking about the Portal interface - just the plain old Zope "Available Objects" button. Was this done on purpose? If so, why on earth would you want to prevent anyone from adding so much as a humble DTML method?? We're not talking about the end-user interface here. For now I'm going to revert to an old version of PTK, bugfixes be damned. I can't get any work done in this version. -- ................. paul winkler .................. slinkP arts: music, sound, illustration, design, etc. web page: http://www.slinkp.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com

What is 'Experimental LoginManager support' in PTK?
by Dirksen 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

In the 2nd step of creating a portal site, there's a 'Database' option list. One can choose 'Zope Database' or 'Experimental LoginManager support'. If I pick the latter, I'll end up with such error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: Invalid/nonexistent ZClass 'MembershipZ/LoginMember' Does the 'experimental' mean 'unfunctional'? How can I make it work? Dirksen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Calendar - Get organized for the holidays! http://calendar.yahoo.com/

ZClass/DTML Document transparency
by Randall Kern 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Hi all, I have a folder (foo) which contains a set of DTML Documents, and instances of a ZClass. >From another DTML document, I enumerate the contents of this folder, using a DTML-IN tag: <dtml-in expr="bar.foo.objectValues()" sort="order"> ... </dtml-in> My problem is with ..., namely dealing with both DTML documents and ZClasses. In the case of DTML Documents, the following works fine: <dtml-var sequence-item> In the case of ZClasses, I have to use something like this: <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-var index_html> </dtml-with> So I'm using this: <dtml-if expr="_['sequence-var-meta_type'] == 'DTML Document'"> <dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-else> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-var index_html> </dtml-with> </dtml-if> But this is rather ugly, and it's the sort of thing one shouldn't have to do in an oo system. So, is there a better way? -Randy
