Re: [Zope] Mapping tools with Zope

GIS-like applications are definitely a field where Zope can shine. But most of the current MAP-Servers are interfacing with a RDBMS where a lot of the logic is placed into the database. If one thinks of geographic objects in a way of an object database like Zope, there is a different architecture needed. For example I think of a RTree indexing technic for the objects stored in the ZODB. This would open a lot of possibilities and would cure one of the problems of current GIS , where everything needs to be stored with a geographical view, which makes it sometimes cumbersome to store legacy information or data with a non gis semantic in these systems. On top of the RTree index one could build a python framework to present the geographical part of this data. These are just thoughts from an earth scientist, who needs to deal with this problem, and is in search for a solution. __Janko -- Institut fuer Meereskunde phone: 49-431-597 3989 Dept.

Zope Book Beta
by Michel Pelletier 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

Amos and I are gibbering like madmen with excitement to announce the Zope Book Beta. This is the complete, technical draft of the book with all screenshots (but minus illustrations, those are on there way!). Some other things like a colophon and information about the authors is missing. The beta includes all completed chapters, the API reference, and the DTML reference. We've received over a hundred comments, corrections, and ideas from you the community and it has made a much better book. This is the one to print out and give to your friends as christmas gifts, folks, so get crackin and start reading at http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/. Enjoy, -Michel

RE: [Zope] GUF, ZODB, and 2.2.2
by Andrews, Martin 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

I am not using the ZODB as the backend, but I did have to patch GUF to get it to work with zope 2.2.2. Caveat emptor: I have no idea if this patch is really correct, I pretty much stole the little piece of code from LoginManage (which has a similar disclaimer).

Zope FTP through SSH1
by Rob Miller 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

Hi, I'm trying to tunnel FTP connections to a Zope server through SSH1 to ensure that passwords don't get sent in the clear. (I know the session will still be unencrypted; that's okay for now.) I've followed the instructions for doing so that are available at http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/ssh-faq-5.html#ss5.6, and doing so I can successfully create an FTP session through an SSH tunnel. The problem is, once I've logged in, Zope won't let me do anything. It responds to every valid command with a single word: 'Unauthorized.' If I connect directly to the FTP server using the same login and password, all works well. Anyone here have any ideas why this might be? Thanks for your time and assistance, rob

Switching users with loginmanager
by Sergio Fogel 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

I am having difficulties switching users with loginmanager. I have an entry page, which is lnked from an external site. The other site sets __ac_user and __ac_password before linking (through a form with method=POST). If my user follows the link, he can access the page without problems. The problem is that if he changes user in the external site and follows the link again, __ac_user is ignored, since the user is already authenticated, and from the Zope point of view it is still the same old user. Any clues about how to force re-authentication in that page? By the way, redirect will not work because I need some other fields in the POST, and I would not want them to be shown in the URL. Thanks, Sergio

IMAP and Zope!

Watching the growing pains of an recently installed IMAP based Corporate E-Mail system makes me just a little queasy about using ZODB for mass storage. Volume is a very real problem, and Zope has it's own limits that must be considered. I know it's formidable, but you may find the ZPatterns stuff useful. One of the goals is to make it "easy" to swap out one storage for another. At first glance it strikes me as fairly straightforward to capture most of the relevant data that accompanies an E-Mail as RDBM "fields". Of course, a text blob, ZODB, or files may be more appropriate for the actual message content, and certainly for included files. ZODB is such a cool thing, but I'm still struggling with deciding what's best held as native ZODB "objects" vs. other possibilities. ZPatterns eases that quandary by making the choice flexible, and easy to "refactor" (fix!) if / when you decide you "got it wrong". You might also check out the companion products "ExtFile" and "ExtImage" http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile which allow storage of "file" type data directly on the file system, yet keep related metadata in ZODB, for ZCataloging, etc. > We're also including support for signing/verifying messages, with GnuPG. Even Better! Good Luck, Jerry S.
