Ownership Unix chown
by Michael Arndt 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Two for me very important issues for ownership: a) a non privileged user could see date for which he was not allowed ! b) how do i change the ownership of a folder in the Unix sense of chown ? I don't understand the new concept. My Problems are: a) we were able to log in as a non privileged user and view a Folder, for which acess was only allowed for the owner of this folder and no one else. How come and what did i do wrong ? Zope installation was new 2.2 and the folders and users were newly generated. c) When i want to change the ownership of a folder like chown in Unix: Superuser is not allowed, anyone else can only take, user can not give away so in my view 1. Both useres havbe to have access 2. User B takes ownership 3. USER B modifies acces so that user A can not anymore acess ????? thanks for any help Micha

Zope.Org Style Developers Portal Question
by Tim Bass 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Hi. One of my clients needs to build a portal for developers to share information. Showed them www.zope.org and they liked it. Home much time would it take for a novice to go from a raw zope distribution to put in place the core functionality/look/feel of the zope.org portal? -Tim Tim Bass, Silk Road http://www.silkroad.com/ Network-Centric Subject Matter Expert, AFCIC/SYN Network-Centric Subject Matter Expert, DOE/CIO http://calendar.yahoo.com/public/timothy_james_bass Voice: 703 222 4243 Fax: 703 222 7320

Managing with Opera
by Jean Jordaan 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Hi all Looks like I'm running into a cookie hassle with Opera 4.01 I copy everything in '/docs/tmp' and paste to '/docs'. Lo and behold, '/docs' contains not the items copied from '/docs/tmp', but the stuff that was on the clipboard end of yesterday. IE 5.5 did it right. Has anyone else encountered anything similar using Opera? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

anyone got a foolproof 2.1.6 -> 2.2.0 via import schema?
by Tony McDonald 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

I get KeyErrors from 2.2.0 with an Error value of a rubbish character when trying to import a folder of various objects. This also happens when trying to import the XML version, except the Error Value is 'id' (but with no idea of where the error is in the XML file ... irritating). any ideas? this is driving me up the bloody wall. ta tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

Sizing questions
by Lucas Hofman 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

This message is cross-posted to both the zope and the PTK mailing lists. The restrictions I hope to hear about might be in both products. 1. The ZODB database we are using has passed 500 MB in Size (Yes, it is packed). It is about 50/50 populated with small news items and files of 1-4Mb in size. I expect it to pass 1 GB in 6-12 months. At present response is very good, both in retrieving items and in accessing the catalog. Does anyone has experience with much larger databases? Are there any build in limits that I should take into account. 2. The portal user administrion is based on a ACL-users folder. 70 users at present, expected to reach 500-1000 after we disallow anonymous viewing. Will that still work?

Re: [Zope] calling (SQL) methods dynamically from External methods
by Philipp Auersperg 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Thanks for the answer, it helped me, but you missed what I really wanted. I don't want to call SQL queries by query string, what I want is to use Z SQL Methods, but I need to identify them by their name as string, because in this project we have many complicated queries with parameters. But finally I am happy because that works: m1=getattr(self,'dbTest') #dbTest is a ZSQL method rs=m1(self) for r in rs: ...........

It's cos the 2.2.0 implementation of absolute_url requiers a REQUEST, which it doesn't get in setItem().

Squishdot and Traversal Interface, take 2

I don't think a leading '/' should be supplied to > catalog_object(). You are quite correct, but the problem in this case was more serious. getPhysicalPath(), AFAIK, is a recursive method that goes up the acquisition tree. Unfortunately, in __init__, where the sample articles are created, self isn't acquisition wrapped and so you: a) don't get your leading '/' for free b) don't get path info for further up the tree from the SquishSite (hence the manage_catalogView page is broken) This was the major thing to be fixed with some judicious use of a 'parent' argument to the __init__ method and a bit of wrapped=self.__of__(parent) magic. > I tried to update the catalog, which promptly removed > all the postings from the catalog. That I never experienced... > When I re-cataloged the postings, the > entries were now showing up as: > > //myfolder/newsquish//<id> My second mistake :( thread_path returns the thread path with a '/' prepended, so mine was redundant. d'oh! So there ya go, all fixed now though (allegedly) and checked into CVS. Lance, thanks for all the testing, it's very much appreciated :-) cheers, Chris
