Fellas, I got it to work :) I used the rstrip method from the string module to trim trailing whitespace from the end of each line whenever a document template gets saved. I tested it with DTML Documents and Methods, which both worked fine. It doesn't affect properties, so if you need to render trailing whitespace for some reason you could store that as a property. The mods are listed below. If you use it, let me know what you think and I'll write it up.

The issue is to make an object easily "commentable", but not in the same sense as using DTML comments. "Discussable" is probably a better term. A "discussable" object would be able to present a UI which would allow people to add comments to a rendered document, and present those comments to users whenever the document was re-rendered. Just like Squishdot. Except as a general-purpose mixin class that can be reused.

This is something I've wanted to see for a long time too. The Portal Toolkit (http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK) evidently has a "discussable" mixin class that allows users to add comments to documents. You may want to check it out. This feature should probably be abstracted out of the portal toolkit and made more generally available. I'd really like to see a "commentable document" product based on an atomic mixin class that we could reuse on Zope.org for how-tos, news items, etc. I really like ACS' "bboard" system, that's the kind of functionality I think these objects should provide. I wish I had time to write this. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ramarao Kanneganti [mailto:rama@kanneganti.com] > Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 9:36 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Adding comments to documents like in ACS ... > > > Hi, > > I am a long time ACS (Arsdigta Community System) user.

trailing whitespace optimization
by Paul Abrams 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

I'm noticing that our file sizes could be reduced by 10% or more by trimming trailing whitespace. Is there a way to get Zope to do that automatically? It would be best if Zope did it whenever a method was saved. Thanks in advance, -Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Win98 service

Is it possible to have Zope run as a Win98 service? I'm going to be using win98 until I get up to speed and then use Linux. But for several months I don't want to be stuck with this DOS window that remains after I run the start.bat. -mjm

GUF + SQL connection problem
by Cesar A. K. Grossmann 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

I'm trying to add a SQL connection to GUF, and getting an error when trying step 8 of the How To ("HOWTO Use GenericUserFolder with an SQL Database"): "You are not authorized to change change_password_report because you do not have proxy roles. " The step 8 says (http://www.zope.org/Members/hippy/GUF_SQL_crypt_1_2) [snip] 8. Set permissions to protect the use database. It is now time to setup the permissions on the GUF objects to ensure that the SQL methods can only be called the code that we have created. Create a user defined role called Authoriser in the acl_users folder do not give it any permissions.[ok: created at the folder that contains the GUF] set the 'Use Database Methods' permission for 'Authoriser' on all the SQLMethods created above.[ok] set the Proxy role "Authoriser" on: change_password_report [oh-oh] userAuthenticate userList userRoles [snip] I'm doing it as a user that have the 'Manager' role at the root of the Zope site. The same username exists in the GUF, but I cannot change its roles (trying this trashes the connection). I'm using GUF 1-2-4. Zope is the 2.1.6, and connected to a PostgreSQL 7.0.1 (it works).

why this happens? a bug?
by J�lio Dinis Silva 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

Is there a guru to explain why this happens? Create a document with the following code: <dtml-if "PATH_INFO == '/'> <dtml-comment> Some code.... </dtml-comment> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.set('list',[])"> <dtml-in list> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> Note: it is expected for this code to give a dtml parse error because there isnt a terminating " in the first if sentence. Yeah, but try to execute this page and view the page source on your browser... you'll get the dtml source.
