tree problem, addendum

Sorry, but I have more elements: in the edit tab of the management view of any one of my Articles the Id does not come out at all. In the HTML code it is substituted again by the mysterious <string> thing. if I try to rename (that's to say, change the Id) of an Article, Zope chokes with a traceback that goes like this: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_renameObject) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_renameObject) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/CopySupport.py, line 250, in manage_renameObject (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 226, in _getOb (Object: ElementWithAttributes) AttributeError: (see above) It appears I have messed up the Id propery, but I do not know how.

problem testing permissions
by Jerome Alet 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Hi, I've created a folder in which there's a dtml method index_html which displays a calendar of events found in the ZCatalog. In this folder I've created several folders, one for each event type (e.g. courses, exams, etc...) each subfolder acquire the index_html method when it is displayed. In each subfolder I've created a user folder and created an user who has a manager role (I've also given the user a local role of manager for the subfolder, but I don't now if it is useful or not): this person should be able to add whatever she wants, especially events, in her folder, but nowhere else. here's the tree: Events |-- index_html |-- Courses | |-- acl_users | | |-- jerome (can add events in Courses only) | |-- event 1 | |-- event 2 | |-- ... | |-- event n |-- Exams |-- acl_users | |-- fred (can add events in Exams only) |-- event 1 |-- ... |-- event n If I log in as superuser (Zope 2.1.6 with patches) then no problem, I can add events wherever I want. If I log in as a user I've created in one of the subfolders then my test seems to be wrong (see below). here's my code which should create an html link to the add form if the logged in user is a manager for the subfolder (e.g. jerome for Courses), or just display the day number if not ---CUT--- <dtml-calendar>   <dtml-with URL1> <dtml-if AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('manager')"> <a href="manage_addProduct/GenericEvent/GenEvent_addForm?date=<dtml-var date>"><dtml-var "date.dd()"></a> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "date.dd()"> </dtml-if> </dtml-with>  <dtml-in "Catalog(...)">  </dtml-in> </dtml-calendar> ---CUT--- it seems just like if the <dtml-with URL1> does nothing. Does anyone have an idea ? thanks in advance.

Authentication question.
by Gregory Haley 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

hi folks, we are building an application that needs more information for users than that which is made available via the acl_users db (which can only contain username, password, domains, and roles). specifically, we have created an RDBS database which tracks users via a numeric user id (and speeds lookups), all tables are related via this integer variable. we are having difficulty, though, in that, zope continues to want to build a new user entry only via acl_users. has anyone done something that will allow us to get around this. i have been searching all the various search engines and zope list archives looking for something along these lines, and i find a lot of stuff on how zope authentication "out of the box" works though nothing on how to get the authentication to work via another means. i suspect it might require some editing of the base python code, but i am hoping that this can be done from within the Products directory and not in the preconpiled code. any insights would be greatly appreciated. thanks. ciao! greg.

mod_rewrite rule to close managment screens from outsiders

I'm trying to deny external access to zope maintainance from elsewhere (just for sure), with Zope behind apache. However, It just doesn't seem work... Sure It's more apache's problem, but I guess someone around there has a working solution? #</IfModule> dule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^193\.143\.156\.(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope.*manage - [F] #</IfModule> -- Riku Voipio riku.voipio(a)tietoenator.com 09-862 60764

Re: [Zope] Generating products that perform a smart clone of a master site?
by Hamish Lawson 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Chris Thanks for your reply. I hadn't thought of using ZWikiWeb, but given that I do need to make instances of a master site, do you think that this could be done using ZWikiWeb? Instead of inheritance for the folders, the mechanism I'm investigating now is prototypes (a la JavaScript and Self objects).

Adding users via external method
by Timothy Grant 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Hi all, I'm working on a project where it would be very nice to add all the original users via a script. I'm working with an external method that should--I believe use manage_user() to add the users. My confusion comes from where does the external method go in the hierarchy? >From my reading it appears that to act on a folder, you need to be operating within that folder (e.g., I can add folders and stuff to my current folder all day). I haven't yet figured out how to operate on the acl-users folder that is the child of my current folder. As always, thanks for any assistance that you can provide. -- Stand Fast, tjg.

the tree tag is driving this newbie up the wall
by Walter A. Aprile 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Hello, I am trying to write a tree access to a hyerarchy of folders containing custom objects, subclassed from the DTML Docuement. The inheritance path should be DTMLDocument -> Article (my custom class) -> every single article in the folders. I would like only Articles and folders to appear in the tree, so this is what I do: <dtml-tree branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder','Article'])"> <dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'"> <dtml-var title_or_id> <dtml-else> <A HREF="<dtml-var tree-item-url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></A> </dtml-if> </dtml-tree> The tree *looks* all right, and the folders expand and contract ok. But the URLs in the HREF are mangled. For example, I have a folder called abracadabra, that contains another folder named curiosidades, that contains an article whose title is "las origines del ajedrez", and that has in id of "ajedrez". The link comes out like this: <A HREF="abracadabra/curiosidades/<string>">las origines del ajedrez</A> I hope this does not play hell with the guys that use HTML-aware mail clients, but what happens is that instead the URL instead of being bracadabra/curiosidades/ajedrez gets the last component of the path substituted with 'string' between angle brackets. If I modify the dtml-tree tag so that it takes in also DTML Documents, *those* URLs work. So what is happening ? Shouldn't the id propery be inherited from my Article class ? It *almost* works, and it is driving me insane. Thanks in advance, Walter -- Vita brevis, ars longa, occasio celeris, experimentum periculosum, judicium difficile.

Prototyped folders?
by Hamish Lawson 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

If a folder doesn't itself contain a required object or method, I'd like to have another folder looked in instead. The fall-back folder won't necessarily (and often can't) be higher in the hierarchy, so acquisition doesn't seem to be a solution. Inheritance from a folderish class seems to be one solution, but I fear this might lead to an explosion of classes. The answer I think I need is to have a protoype mechanism (similar to that used in JavaScript and Self). A folder with the requirement to have its missing methods looked for elsewhere would be created as an instance of (say) PrototypedFolder with a pointer to the folder it wanted to use as a prototype. Does such a mechanism exist for Zope? Hamish Lawson University of St Andrews, Scotland ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

how to get email delivery errors
by Dan Rusch 27 Jun '00

27 Jun '00

Our site allows supervisors to email orders back to sales reps. We have this working very well. The problem is if the supervisor types in an non-existant email address we aren't getting Mail System Error - Returned Mail messages like you would from other email apps such as Netscape Messenger. Does anyone know how to accomplish this. Thanks, DR
