This appears to be a classic aquisition gotcha. You can use the "only" option of the dtml-with tag to eliminate namespace conflicts. However, in this case I might suggest passing the parameters directly to objemedswf instead of using REQUEST. like so: <dtml-var "Flash4.objembedswf(swf='login.swf', width='100%', height='100%')"> This leaves no ambiguity about what is being called, where it is located and what is being passed to it. This creates more readable code IMHO. -Casey Duncan

Implementing a login form instead of BASIC authentication
by Meeting Maker Webmaster 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hello, I am currently looking into implementing a login form to replace the standard BASIC authentication. I've looked into AccessControl/User.py and there seems to be a validate function that would enable me to do it. The only problem is that I am unable to figure out how to use it. The basic idea is to have a forms that requires the username and the password. This will then enable users to log into the system. Thank you for your help.

RE: [Zope] JavaScript help!

How about: document.manage_edit_form["data:text"] -----------Original Message------------ From: "Peter Be" <peter(a)grenna.net> To: <zope(a)zope.org> Subject: [Zope] JavaScript help! Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 17:18:24 +0100 charset="iso-8859-1" Maybe not a Zope specific question but the problem arises only with Zope DTML. The documentEdit.dtml page in OFS has this little HTML: <TEXTAREA NAME="data:text" WRAP="Off" COLS="50" ROWS="20"></TEXTAREA> And what I want to do is trigger a JavaScript that replaces specific characters in the textarea box to others. I.e. Replace swedish ö with HTML: ö The problem is the name of the textarea box! It is called "name:text" If I replace the name of the textarea box to say "data", then my JavaScript works fine. I have tried to "eval" the box, but to no effect. Any ideas??

Connection problem with database
by Tom Deprez 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hi, If somebody had the same problem as I've now, please let me know something: At certain moments, Zope encounters problems connecting to my database (Interbase, don't know if it is solely Interbase related). When I then Close and reopen the connection, everything works fine again. Somebody experienced this also? Found the error? Or what am I doing wrong? More information on my situation: The database isn't visited often at the moment (only by me). This is just a test-setup. The error happens when there is a long time between 2 requests. As if the connection closes itself, but doesn't opens itself again. Thanks, Tom.

use properties to get an object with dtml-var
by Gerard Metrailler Jr. 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hello, I am trying to get the following more generic. <dtml-var "content.whos_who.gmetrail.real_name"> In that case, content and whos_who are folder, gmetrail is a ZClass I created which derivates from Image and real_name is a property of that object. What I am trying to do is getting something like: <dtml-var "user_info + REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER + real_name"> where user_info is a property that I defined in / I've tried to use a <dtml-with> wrapped arround the dtml-var, but couldn't figure out how to get the dtml-with use the property instead of the hardcoded path.

Seeking Zope Volunteers
by Lyno Sullivan, Candidate 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Greetings, My name is Lyno Sullivan and I am the endorsed Independence Party (see www.eIndependence.org) candidate to the Minnesota State Senate from the Stillwater area, District 56, which is in Washington County and spans Stillwater Township south to Hastings and west to Mahtomedi and part of Oakdale and Woodbury. I have obtained the endorsement of Richard Stallman, a leader of the free software community, for my position on free software. Please see: http://www.lynosullivan.org/position/pos/964668700 If you visit lynosullivan.org and have a look around, you will get a feeling for what the campaign teams are up to. We are creating a product called "Free Politics" ("free" as in "to free", "freedom" and "free software"). We are using Red Hat Linux, Linux Router Project, Python, Zope, mySQL, Mailman, etc. Please see: http://www.lynosullivan.org/free/FreePolitics We are in desperate need of volunteers to help with various Zope and Python programming assignments. All this work will become part of the Free Politics software which is already on the radar screen of some of Governor Ventura's advisors. With you help I am hopeful Free Politics can put free software squarely onto the Minnesota political scene. Our work might even draw national recognition and acclaim. As a politician I seek media attention. I intend to offer our campaign as a showcase of how affordable technology can be applied to politics. Once I am elected our campaign web site will become the prototype of a new kind of representative democracy where politicians seek guidance from "We the People" instead of PAC, special interest and lobbyist groups. Free Politics has the potential to be really big but I need your help to make it happen. If you can volunteer some time (even a few hours per week), please go to lynosullivan.org and complete the Volunteer form. If you cannot volunteer your time but would like to help, please consider making a $5 to $500 contribution to my campaign. If you are a Minnesota eligible voter you can receive a refund on the first $50 through the Minnesota Political Contribution Refund program. My campaign cannot accept contributions from corporations, PACs or special interest organizations so we rely on contributions from individuals like you. Thank you for considering our request for help. Sincerely, Lyno Sullivan -- Lyno Sullivan 206 S. 5th. St. Stillwater, MN 55082 651-430-0507 mailto: lyno.sullivan(a)lynosullivan.org web: lynosullivan.org Contributions: Campaign Fund of Lyno Sullivan and mailed to the following address.
