<base> instead of SiteAccess
by George Osvald 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

I am using ProxyPass configuration with Apache and SiteAccess. My web-site is located on ISP's server in my user directory. Because I can't stay on line for too long during a day(I have a phone on the same line) I tend to do all editing off line and then at night upload the lot. The subdirectory of my web site is 'okstudio'. Because I am using SiteAccess(with 'base' in the folder 'okstudio'), none of the relative links worked on my local machine. I like my links nice and short that do not include '/okstudio/'. It looks too long in the address window of my browser. Before each upload to the server I had to change the links. I was trying to use SiteAccess on my home machine but could not get it working. It would not work for http://localhost or http://localhost:8080 ......and so and so. I tried several times without a success. Then I decided to use a different approach. I created a property 'base' in the root folder of my site. The string is: <base href="http://localhost:8080/okstudio/">. Then I put <dtml-var base> in my standard_html_header and all the alternative headers I use (JavaScript and stuff). All I have to do now is change the 'base' property to <base href="http://www.myserver.com.au/"> before each upload and all the links can stay the same. I would not even have to use SiteAccess at all if I had a little redirection method in my root directory. It is all OK but I would like to know if there is a way how to make SiteAccess working on the local machine so I can have almost identical setup locally. Can you help anyone? I am also serving local files located in my original public_html directory from ZOPE going directly to my user directory. The links look like this: http://123.45.678.9/~username . Would that be considered a security risk exposing my user directory like that? George Osvald

tree tag example fails
by jon＠totient.demon.co.uk 22 Aug '00

This example here :- http://www.zope.org/Members/anthony/tree-coding-tricks with the external method class _dummy: def __init__(self, name): self.name=name def child_lookup(parent): c = [] for i in range(0,5): c.append(_dummy("%s.%d"%(parent, i))) return c and dtml method <dtml-let name="0"> <dtml-tree id=name branches_expr="child_lookup(parent=name)"> <b><dtml-var name></b> </dtml-tree> </dtml-let> appears not to work on zope 2.2.0 or 2.1.6 on RH 6.2 with netscape 4.7x, python 1.5.2 Every node gets the label "0" and then stops expanding. I also tried a simple example starting with a root of 1 and computing leaves of 2x and 2x+1 but that also fails. Any ideas what is goind on? Jon

I would expect, it works as follows: like any DTML tag, "dtml-if" calls its name parameter (if it is callable). I expect that the result of this call is bound to the variable name. This means, "DestinationURL" which formerly was bound to a method, is now bound to the result of calling this method, i.e. to a string. Dieter

Permissions / roles question
by Jean Jordaan 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Hi all If "I'm jean with role(s) manage.", then why does this code in 'standard_wiki_footer' not offer to log me out?:: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('Change ZWiki Pages', this())"> <a href="<dtml-var id url_quote>/editform?cols=70&rows=20">Edit this page</a> <br> <dtml-comment> ## njj: change (changes to login code for GUF) ## </dtml-comment> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Anonymous', this())"> <a href="acl_users/login?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Login</a> <dtml-else> <a href="acl_users/logout?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Logout</a> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <a href="acl_users/login?moveto=<dtml-var PATH_INFO>">Login</a> to edit<br> </dtml-if> I mean, the Manager role *does* have the 'Change ZWiki Pages' permission, and does *not* have the 'Anonymous' roles. What kind of a role is 'manage' anyway?? Roles in my Zope are: 'Anonymous Manager Owner ZWikiApprover ZWikiManager' and 'ZWikiUser', so where does 'manage' come from? It gets printed by the following from 'DTML Method at /debugging_info', which is referenced from 'standard_html_footer':: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> with role(s) <tt> <dtml-in "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> <dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-unless sequence-end> , </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> . </dtml-if> To try and answer my own question: '/wiki' access is governed by '/wiki/acl_users', (Generic User Folder), where 'jean' does *not* feature. Hmm, so 'DTML Method at /debugging_info' doesn't show the roles of 'jean' in the context of 'this()'? But surely this doesn't change the fact that 'jean' *does* have the 'Change ZWiki Pages' permission, and does *not* have the 'Anonymous' role. Enlightenment needed!

Hello everyone! My ISP where I have my web page, is running freeBSD 4.0. I do not know a lot about it. I know how to use crontab to start ZOPE at certain time how ever how do I use crontab to check on the script that is already running? Starting ZOPE again when it's running produces an error message and I do not know if that was a healthy solution. to start it I would be using something like: 5 * * * * root ./start This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again. Can anyone help? Regards, George Osvald Ps: I know about z2.pid. Neverthless I find ZOPE down quite often everytime they do something at the ISP. I asked them what to do and they told me to use crontab to check the script and restart it.

Can I use Zope?
by ryon＠altavista.net 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

I would like to run Zope from my commercial host. I definitely can not get root, and they do not allow cgi scripts from anywhere other than cgi-bin. Therefore Gldnspud's "third-party" installation notes do not apply. Errors when I try. I can unzip and install successfully in the cgi-bin, but Zope instructions say not to do this. Is there a good reason? Does this mean I can't use Zope with this hosting service? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com
