Catalog Aware ZClass
by Scott Burton 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

Hello fellow Zopists, I want to create a catalog aware Zclass. I would like to include some specific indexable metadata when creating an instance of that object. So when I add an instance of that object it asks me for some information that gets indexed by ZCatalog to be searched later on. I have tried following the instructions given here: http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CatalogAware But I noticed there is some information which may be outdated. It also suggests having to Patch CatalogAwareness.py I am not sure if this is still required? Or, where do I start? TIA! Scott

Actually, I tried this first and it didn't work. not certain why. However your original suggestion of going into the version manager in control panel did the trick.

Q: LoginManager and SQL-US?
by Wilkinson Charlie E 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

Ok, I've got this legacy database app (VisualBasic and Access - Bleck!) that I'm moving to Apache/Zope/PostgreSQL. One of the existing database tables is user info, i.e. userid, password, real name, an "account disabled" boolean, etc. I've figured out a really stupid way to "solve" the problem, essentially doing queries against the user table and having conditionals in every DTML object to determine if the user should be there or not. (Actually, I negated some of that silliness by incorporating SQLSession into the mix.) Still, I'm faced with needing some way to check the user/session against each requested object. And no, there's not much access granularity here - the user should either have access to the whole folder, or not. LoginManager looks promising, but I'm still enough of a Zope newbie that I've hit a bit of a roadblock, boiling down (boiled roadblock?!?) to 2 fundemental questions: 1. Can LoginManager be (easily?) made to meet my specific need? 2. Has anyone done an SQL UserSource yet, or can anyone give me a clue how to make one? I've tried "creating" another US, but after that Zope just sits there, quietly mocking me. I did read the API stuff and that actually makes a little sense to me, but I don't know what types of objects (or external methods?) would need to be created as part of a new US interface. In other words, I more or less understand the API calls, I can do SQL queries in my sleep, but how does one tie it all together into a new US? Does it involve (*shudder*) writing Python? ;) I'd be happy to share back any useful results of this exercise.

It ws me, I admit it....... I'm breaking another bad habit (at least for threaded mail client users)...Posting from NEW MESSAGE verses choosing reply and changing the topic. Just can't win sometimes.

No luck, Maybe I'm describing my problem wrong, When I go to manage Zope The header at the top says " Folder at / * (/Developement%20Site) ^ (This is the version Symbol) It doesn't Say that I am working in a version otherwise. Then if I attempt to create a new version I get the following error: Error Type: VersionLockError Error Value: ("'\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\002'", '/Developement%20Site') I can create a version in a subfolder, and subfolders don't have the "Folder at" stuff all messed up. Unfortunately this is my production server too, not my testing server. -----Original Message----- From: Cornelis J. de Brabander [mailto:brabander@fsw.leidenuniv.nl] Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2000 12:14 AM To: Baker, Dennis [sjmr]; zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Version Paradox >I've inadvertently created a version paradox.

Re:[Zope] Importing data
by Jim Washington 15 Jun '00

Please, no HTML posts. I crashed Netscape Mail twice trying to reply. Thanks. But to answer, exporting and importing works just fine if you want to copy parts of an existing zope site. It even works recursively, so if you want to export an entire folder of stuff (or Squishdot site) with subfolders, properties, etc., just go to its enclosing folder's "Import/Export" management tab, and follow the directions for exporting. This will create a .zexp file. To import into the new Data.fs file, put the .zexp file you have created into your [where zope is installed]/import folder on your hard drive. Then open the new site's management interface for zope and go to the same Import/Export tab and use the Import part. If you have 2 Data.fs files and only 1 zope, you can switch back and forth between them (stopping and restarting Zope in between so terrible things do not happen) by moving one and then the other into the appropriate var directory to do exporting, or importing as you want. Copies of the original files will come in handy if you confuse easily like me. -- Jim Washington >Well, I meant that I have some products w/ data setup in the new .fs.

I have a Data.fs file from a previous instal of Zope. How can import parts of that data base to a current data.fs? I have a product setup in the old .fs that I want to use in the new....like a squishdot for instance.
