RE: [Zope] application/octet-stream vs. application/msword

Hi Dieter & all > > How does Zope recognize the type of a file? > It uses "OFS.content_types.guess_content_type" OK, so 'manage_addFile' uses 'guess_content_type'? I'm a bit confused here .. I see three lists of content types, excerpted below. They are in: 1. 'lib/python/OFS/content_types.py' 2. 'bin/lib/mimetypes.py' and 3. 'ZServer/medusa/mime_type_tabel.py' There is some overlap between the lists (eg. '.doc' occurs in 1 and in 3, and '.cdf' occurs in all three). What relation is there between the lists? The other thing I'm wondering is, it looks as if '.doc' should *always* be recognized as msword. How could it sometimes turn up as octet-stream? To add documents I call: <a href="manage_addProduct/ccDoc/ccDocClass_factory"> Add a document.</a> The initial method of 'ccDocClass_factory' is 'ccDocClass_addForm', and that form's action is 'ccDocClass_add' which eventually calls: <dtml-call "manage_addFile('', file, '')"> So how come '.doc's get added as application/octet-stream ? Excerpts: --------- In 'lib/python/OFS/content_types.py' I find: ........................................................ # This gives us a hook to add content types that # aren't currently listed in the mimetypes module. _addtypes=( ('.cdf', 'application-x-cdf'), ('.doc', 'application/msword'), [...] ('.xul', 'text/xul'), ) ........................................................ and in 'bin/lib/mimetypes.py' I find: ........................................................ types_map = { [...] '.bcpio': 'application/x-bcpio', '.bin': 'application/octet-stream', '.cdf': 'application/x-netcdf', '.cpio': 'application/x-cpio', '.csh': 'application/x-csh', [...] '.zip': 'application/zip', } ........................................................ and, finally, in 'ZServer/medusa/mime_type_tabel.py' I find: ........................................................ # Converted by ./convert_mime_type_table.py from: # /usr/src2/apache_1.2b6/conf/mime.types # content_type_map = \ { [...] 'cdf': 'application/x-netcdf', [...] 'doc': 'application/msword', [...] 'zip': 'application/zip', } ........................................................ -- jean

Slightly OT: Server Admin w/Zope - best approach?
by Nigel Head 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Slightly off topic perhaps but potentially intersting to many here, I hope! I'm considering, partly out of curiosity and partly out of hopes that I may get some customers one day who could use it, how I would go about implementing a server administration tool (a la Webmin for example) within a Zope infrastructure. It seems to me that a lot of use could be made of the Zope user/role/privilege facilities to provide a fine grained delegation capability in a relatively secure way; the benefits are obvious (at least to me). Likewise DTML and the SQL facilities couls allow very easy integration with a customer tracking/billing database and products would let me plug-in new capababilities in a neat way. Sounds nice to me! The question I have still to find a good resolution to is how to deal with the backend functionality - updating files, running scripts etc which probably need, at least in part, to be run as root (or as a member of wheel at least). I can see several possibilities -- build an interface to linuxconf for example (but that's non portable), create a slew of suid scripts executable from zope external methods (but how risky is this?), put zope in 'wheel' (no, I don't think I woudl want to do that) and so on ..... I suspect someone may have done something similar already or at least have an opinion on the best way forwards ... any suggestions would be welcome. Of course I suppose I could actually use webmin but that would mean the other P language which I have forgotten ho-to for the moment). -- Nigel Head Houbits Hi-Tech Servers nhead(a)houbits.com

accessing PARENTS from python???
by Kevin Howe 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

I am trying to access the PARENT of an object in a python class of mine. I want to use the absolute_url() of the parent in a variable. I though it could be done the following way, but got an error: parent=self.PARENTS[0] aurl = parent.absolute_url() I then tried using REQUEST. It works, but doesn't give the correct information. Instead of giving me the parent of the current object(self), it gives the parent of the DTML page in which the object was called. parent=self.REQUEST.PARENTS[0] aurl = parent.absolute_url() How do you resolve the PARENT object of an object?

Help with installing PoPy & ZPoPyDA
by ed colmar 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Hi, I downloaded the current versions of ZPoPyDA, and PoPy from www.mixadlive.com, and I cannot figure out how to execute the installation. This must be a simple problem, but I would appreciate any help. In the README.in it instructs to untar, then ./configure. I /should/ CD first right? In either case, there is no success. I see a configure.in but no configure. Here is a copy of the ZPoPyDA folder, and a sample of command line errors. Please give me some clues!

Zope on Linux, Oracle on another machine (Solaris) what to do?
by Chris Beaumont 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Hello, Newbie question here... Thank you for any and all help... The subject line says it all.. What's the best way to connect an instance of Zope running on a Linux box to an instance of Oracle 7.3 running on a Solaris box in the same subnet... As far as I can tell, the OracleDA seems designed to connect an instance of Zope and an instance of Oracle running on the same machine.. We don't want to do that because then we would effectively have to buy Oracle twice.. (we already have the 7.3 server up and running..) Am I wrong? I am willing to go through the whole Oracle install on this machine, to get the libraries, but I need to know that I'm not barking up the wrong tree.. Also, are there any other decent alternatives? ODBC? ???? Thank you! Chris cbeaumon(a)msri.org

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog attachments?

Someone else already told you, that you must create a parameterless method (it need not necessary be named "PrincipiaSearchSource") that returns the files content. You may not need to keep the rendered version around but may be able to extract the plain text on demand. I think, there is a "word.dll" that provides access to MS Word from applications. Alternatively, you could control Word via COM. Dieter
