Regarding locking: Do you mean in the sense that if person A wants to edit a page (like a Wiki page), person B shouldn't be able to update the page until person A clicks "Submit changes"? The WriteLocking project (see the Projects area on http://dev.zope.org/) will include an API that can be called, even from DTML (with proper permissions), to grant an exclusive write lock to a user. If you mean you want to protect against two HTTP requests that are operating on the same page\object from overwriting each other in process, the built in ZODB\ZPublisher transaction handling that's been in Zope before there was Zope takes care of this automatically. A REQUEST->RESPONSE cycle is treated as a single transaction. Jeffrey P Shell, jeffrey(a)Digicool.com http://www.digicool.com/ | http://www.zope.org

<dtml-if> newbie question
by Stephan Goeldi 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

I want to select from a select menu, 3 amounts: 1000, 5000 or 10000. After this, the form action method should reply: - "this is not much" if 1000 was selected, - "this is ok" if 5000 was selected, - "this is very much" if 10000 was selected Now my form method looks like this: <form action="form_action"> How many money? <select name="money"> <option>1000 <option>5000 <option>10000 </select> <input type="submit" value="checkit"> </form> and the form_action method is this: <dtml-in money> <dtml-if "1000"> This is not much! </dtml-if> <dtml-if "5000"> This is ok! </dtml-if> <dtml-if "10000"> This is very much! </dtml-if> </dtml-in> I am sure that there is an error in my thinking of these tags.

Re: SSL and relative links (URLs)

Do a search on the zope site for ssl. You'll find two very useful howto's - one describes the apache httpd.conf virtual host pixie dust using proxy and proxyrewrite directives (you need to build apache with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy as well as mod_ssl) and the other has some details on integrating the siteroot product to do the url munging in zope - be warned that the siteroot product can lead to some interesting consequences if it isn't installed just right - it works a treat now but I would have been in serious trouble if I'd tried installing it on a production site - get it right with a development site before bringing it over to your production machine particularly if your dropping it into your zope root folder. I just finished setting this up and found these two resources solved many problems before I encountered them (!) although there was the inevitable headbanging needed to get everything just right....I ended up NOT using fastcgi although that was my original intention. Right now, mod_proxy allows me to serve a zope running on another machine (!) through ssl.

Referecing items in subfolders
by Pieter Claerhout 14 Nov '00

Hello all, have a small question. Imagine you have the following folder structure in Zope: http://testserver.pclaerhout.com/index_html http://testserver.pclaerhout.com/resources/standard_header http://testserver.pclaerhout.com/resources/standard_footer How can I reference the standard_header document (which is in a subdirectory) from the index_html document, for example using a <dtml-var standard_header>?? I have the same question if the files in the subdirectory are for example SQL methods. I'm just looking for a way to separate different kinds of documents. Kind regards, Pieter

Authentication
by seb bacon 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

This is strange: when I type http://www.foo.com/roles as an authenticated user, Zope thinks I'm just an Anonymous user. When I type http://www.foo.com/roles/ It realises I'm authenticated. I'm using Apache / ProxyPass on Zope 2.2.2. Any ideas? seb.

SSL and relative links (URLs)
by Dustin Engelhaupt 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Hello all, I am running Zope 2.2.2 and accessing it through Apache & FastCGI. I want to access some of the content through SSL and some without. What I have done is set up 2 FastCgiExternalServer directives in Apache. One in the non-SSL area (/non-SSL/dir/zope) and one in the SSL enabled area (/SSL/dir/zope_ssl). BTW, this is the only way I have figured out to be able to serve zope content through both SSL and non-SSL enabled delivery on a single zope server. The obvious problem here is that content meant for SSL can be accessed through non-SSL and vice-versa. If anyone has come up better solution, please let me know. My real problem is that when I call a zope object relatively (ex- href="zope_object" instead of href="zope_object.absolute_url()" or href="https://bla.com/zope/zope_object"), the protocol is displayed as http instead of https. I had this problem with absolute_url() until I installed SSLAbsoluteURL (shameless SSLAbsoluteURL plug). Is there anyway to remedy this situation with relative links? Thanks, Dustin

opinions please
by michael angelo ruberto 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

hello, i am searching for opinions on a project i am considering. the project is to create a product or script to allow users to email documents into Zope as attachments. then the documents are to be placed in the proper folder according to information in the subject line of the email they rode in on. what i would like to know is, is this possible? if it is, how hard will this be to implement? the other idea was to create a client app where users can drop the document onto a desktop icon and the app uses webDAV to put it into Zope. would this be easier or harder?
