Bug or feature? :-)
by Jeff Hoffman 27 Sep '00

Hello, Zopers. Try this: Create a DTML Method in Zope. Give it an id of 'target', and give it the following body: Woohoo! Now manage the folder that it is contained in. Instant tab augmentation! :-) --Jeff --- Jeff K. Hoffman 704.849.0731 x108 Chief Technology Officer mailto:jeff.hoffman@goingv.com Going Virtual, L.L.C. http://www.goingv.com/

ZWiki RecentChanges don't work in Zope 2.2.x
by Chris Withers 27 Sep '00

27 Sep '00

...you get an authorization error :-( This is because this Wiki isn't (and shouldn't) be publicly viewable or editable. So, Anonymous doesn't have 'View' permission on the folder. I've given Anonymous 'Access Contents Information', the usual nasty hack I had to do before, but now that just changes the error message :-S (it's in a PS below) I guess the Interfaces Wiki does pretty much this, but RecentChanges works there. What tweaks to permissions and code have been made there? This all stems from the fact that DTML in Wiki code _always_ executes with the Anonymous role. That's stoopid :-( Wouldn't it make more sense for it to execute with whatever Proxy Roles that Wiki Page has? I would code this myself, but I don't know how. Any ideas? Any other thoughts about the problem? cheers, Chris PS: Unauthorized You are not authorized to access getSize Traceback (innermost last): File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: RecentChanges) File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: RecentChanges) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/Products/ZWiki/ZWikiPage.py, line 178, in __call__ (Object: RecentChanges) File /usr/local/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/Products/ZWiki/ZWikiPage.py, line 223, in render_htmldtml (Object: RecentChanges) File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 177, in __call__ (Object: RecentChanges) File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 528, in __call__ (Object: RecentChanges) File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 691, in renderwob (Object: aq_parent.objectValues(spec='ZWiki Page')) File /mnt/data/2/zope/2-2-2_base/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 337, in eval (Object: _.getitem('sequence-item').getSize()) (Info: _) File <string>, line 0, in ?

Hi, I would like to build a repository for dowloading software in Zope. The user need to register and then I send him an URL inside email to access for downloading file, but: How can I automate the process of authentication and selective downloading, is there an example or have you any website that explain this type of issue. Thank you in advance . Luciano Caroti

Version Control in Zope / Managing releases
by Bob Crosley 27 Sep '00

27 Sep '00

As our development team grows, and our application grows more complex, version control in Zope becomes more problematic. I'm trying to do some research into the different techniques people are using to manage application development. Here's our current situation. *We have a web application that contains both your standard web site/marketing copy type pages, and the application itself. *We have a team of 7 developers including application developers and HTML coders/Graphic Artists. We have a number of problems we're trying to solve. If you have a solution that's worked for you for any of these problems, I'd love to hear about it. 1) "Code Collisions." - Developers overwriting each other's work. 2) Partial updates - Right now, we have new pages for marketing content that are held up because we don't have our new features for the application done yet. So we can't update marketing pages without updating the app at the same time, (one ZODB) unless we directly update the production servers. (Eeek!) We looked at ZCVSMixin for a solution to problem 1, and it shows a lot of promise but isn't quite there yet. For problem 2, we considered the idea of running two Zopes for the app, using one to serve the marketing pages, and one for the application pages so they could be updated independently. Has anyone done that? We have images and appearance attributes stored in the ZODB and don't want to have to keep seperate sets of those, so any solution would have to be able to draw off the same images and appearance variables. Any feedback anyone can provide would be very helpful. Thanks, Bob

Re: [Zope] Restricting URL access to objects that are not complete web pages
by Stephen Simmons 27 Sep '00

27 Sep '00

Steve, Ideally the publishability of an object would be an internal property of that object, not something that is set externally via rules in SiteAccess. It's been a little while since I last looked at SiteAccess, but wouldn't using SiteAccess force you to store publishable objects in one part of the database hierarchy and non-publishables in another? If you wanted publishables and non-publishables all mixed up in the same folders, SiteAccess's rules might get a bit complicated. Another approach could be to: - create a folder that does a RESPONSE.setStatus(404) as the URL traversal machinery passes it. This sets up the default condition of 'NotFound' error for the URL - at the end of the URL, if the final object is publishable or the final item is a publishable method called on a publishable object, do a RESPONSE.setStatus(200) to say 'OK'. Would this be feasible without hacking HTTPResponse.py too much?

Re: [Zope] secure management with Site Access?

David Elkins writes: > Have you tried setting up something like zope.domain.com with the https > SiteRoot and Apache pointing directly at manage? Pointing a virtual host directly at manage I can do, but where do I put the SiteRoot? If I put an https SiteRoot in a directory, then plain ol' unencrypted access won't be happening... all of the URLs inside the site will point to 'https://' instead of 'http://', right? Or am I missing something? > You could additional add > in a rewrite/proxy command to redirect to the SSL side for > www.domain.com/manage. Again, getting Apache to do the right thing I've got figured out. It's just the SiteRoot causing the problem; all of the links inside the folder with the SiteRoot will be either 'http' or 'https', but I'm looking for some solution that will allow either, depending on the previous REQUEST. I know that SiteRoot is basically a special kind of access rule, maybe a smarter access rule can be used instead of a SiteRoot... Thanks for your feedback, and please let me know if there's something that I'm not seeing. rob

RedHat site mentions Zope

Hello everyone, I just saw on www.redhat.com the following: Features for the developer: ... "Popular web application development tools like PHP and Zope" Link: http://www.redhat.com/products/software/linux/rhl7_standard.html Wow, pretty cool. It is only a five bullet list! I guess Zope is winning acceptance rapidly. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU - Physics and Chemistry Student Web2k - Web Design/Development & Technical Project Management
