Problem with ZCatalog output and SiteAccess (with workaround)
by Marcin Kasperski 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

In short: ZCatalog getpath method returns sth. like '/public/the/path/to/found/object' It causes the problem when one uses SiteAccess to modify URL paths (let's say I use Apache mod_proxy to redirect http://my.host/zope to http://my.host:8080/public and set SiteAccess in public zope dir to return http://my.host/zope) URL's generated from ZCatalog searches via 'tutorial way': <a href="<dtml-var "catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)">"> does not work. I get sth like http://my.host/public/the/path/to/found/object (and Apache claims no /public directory on server). The problem can be solved via via converting fully specified link returned by getpath to relative link (in most cases it is enough to split this string on slash, remove 2 leading items and join it again) - then I get correct URL without SiteAccess intervention. Code snippet from zcatalog search result form: <dtml-comment> This does not work with SiteAccess/proxying <a href="<dtml-var "catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)">"> </dtml-comment> <dtml-let page_path="catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)" page_split="_.string.split(page_path,'/')" final_path="_.string.join(page_split[2:],'/')" > <a href="<dtml-var "final_path">"> </dtml-let> <dtml-var title></a> This is rather workaround than clean solution. I can imagine two 'true' solutions: - patching ZCatalog to return relative URLs only - patching SiteAccess to do something with '/such/urls' (is it possible?) -- Marcin.Kasperski | You have the right to change your mind, to substitute @softax.com.pl | functionality, and to change priorities.

RE: [Zope] Python/Tkinter & Zope
by Gijs Reulen 26 Jul '00

Would it make any sense ? Such an application could only run on the server. Not exactly the idea of a web-enabled application ?! To use it on a client at least Python and TKinter should be installed on the client. This would only be feasable in a corporate environment, but then, why still use Zope ? I think I do not know what you want with the combination of GUI and Zope.

PCGI still not functional
by Bill Anderson 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

OK, it isn't just me, I've gotten email from others having this problem; unfortunately, I have had to tell them I still have it. I have tried using older pcgi code, I have tried the PCGI_FDS_CLOSE=0 variable, and still, nothing seems to work right. The second method worked once, but a reboot stopped that clean in it's tracks, and it doesn't work now. I've even tried combining both of the above; no luck. In the 2.2betas, and in 2.1.6, I could use ZServer and PCGI, but now, I get one or the other. Can someone at DC look into fixing this? We still get unable to connect errors, _even_ if the pcgi.soc file is created. I am getting this on _every_ 2.2.0 final server I have. On Linux and HPUX. Eagerly awaiting resolution ...

Oh, I forgot to mention an important detail. I'm in GMT+1 and that is also what I have set Windows NT to. The previous installation of Zope (2.1.4) showed the right time, after the upgrade it changed to GMT+2. Can anyone help me with changing this back? (if not, then I'll try the environment variable) Kind regards, Bart Holthuijsen ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

You cannot use " or """ because this would confuse the dtml-parser. You can use: ... obj_expr='''not objectValues(['Folder'])''' ... or ... obj_epxr='not objectValues[\'Folder\']=' ...

ANN: Border Aware Image Update for Zope 2.2.0
by Jon Franz 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

The Border Aware Image add-on has been updated for Zope 2.2.0 - installation has been heavily updated and is now much easier. see: http://www.zope.org/Members/Coventry/Border_aware_image Also, the alternate syntax patch/add-on has been tested with Zope 2.2.0 now, and no changes were needed. The new documentation reflects this at: http://www.zope.org/Members/Coventry/dtml_shortcut Also: I will be submitting a proposal soon to dev.zope.org: the project would handle evaluating and integrating small add-ons such as these and others into the Zope core, please email me if you would be interested in participating. ~ Jonathan M.

SiteAccess
by Danae and Andy 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Hi, I followed the directions on the SiteAccess product: "Put a SiteRoot in '/hotsite', your site's physical root, and accept the default Path." When I do that I am no longer able to access that folder in the mgmt interface. Zope 2.2 and SiteAccess 2 Any ideas? I have put the SiteAccessRule in the root that reads: <dtml-if "_.string.split(_.string.split(HTTP_HOST, ':')[0], '.')[-2:]==['mysite', 'com']"> <dtml-call "REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append('myfolder')"> </dtml-if > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [Zope] frustrating security problem

> > >[snip] > > > > What am I missing? > > > Nothing. > Check http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-July/029375.html > > Jacques Following that link I found the text of RDB.py but there seems to be a lot of codes in it that I'd need to replace with something (=0A= and =3, etc.)- being new to python as well as zope, I don't know what to replace them with. Here's an example: % _def, names[i])=0A= type=3Dlower(defre.group(2))=0A= width=3Ddefre.group(1)=0A= if width: width=3Datoi(width)=0A= else: width=3D8=0A= Don't look quite right to me. I assume I can just strip =0A=, is =3D just a space? Alternately, is there somwhere I can download the entire RDB.py? A search of www.zope.org for RDB.py turned up nothing.
