Stop. You need to install the python-devel-1.5.2 rpm (or compile and install python from source). /Magnus Heino

Duplicate messages

Sorry about the continued dupes folks, I'm trying to flush the sendmail mqueue on the mail list server, and its processing rules are not as smart as I would have hoped. Hopefully once the flush is done we'll be back to normal...

After that Zope will have > to access de SQL-server to input information. You got me lost there. What are you trying to do? Besides that: questions about trying to establisch some sort of communication between PostgreSQL and SQL-server seems, in my opinion, offtopic in this forum. It has nothing to do with Zope. > Well, I'm in the first step and I fighting with the pgsql to able some > odbc conection. Your tip will help me in the second step (hehe). I'm glad to be of some help. > > Thanks again, and if you know something to help me, please mail me. I know nothing about PostgreSQL, and I haven't the faintest idea what you'r trying to accomplisch. So for the moment I doubt that I can help you futher in your quest. Regards, Heny van der Linde Leiden University

Really buggy digest software
by Dieter Maurer 28 May '00

28 May '00

Dear administrators, the mailing list digests are really buggy. I have reported some problems some days ago. Today, I ran against a new problem: I got "Zope-Dev digest, Vol 1 #543 - 20 msgs" 6 times and "Zope digest, Vol 1 #801 - 57 msgs" twice. Maybe, you should consider replacing this software by another mailing list management system. Dieter

LocalFS
by Dieter Maurer 28 May '00

28 May '00

Dear Jonothan, thank you for LocalFS! If you had not created it, I would have done it. However, I must admit, mine would not have been as nice as yours. I have attached a small patch that allows "Local File System" and its content to be cataloged. There are still some open issues I want to discuss in "zope-dev": 1. the addional meta types ("Local Directory" and "Local File") which cannot be added as objects but should, maybe, cataloged. 2. "bobobase_modification_time", which is not completely adaquate for cataloging local files.

ZCatalog, FieldIndex, reindex problem (long)
by Deb Richardson 28 May '00

28 May '00

Hi all. I've been playing with creating custom Catalog Aware ZClasses for the last couple of days (following the various HowTos and tutorials), and I've run into a problem which has me stumped. I've been through all the documentation I could find, plus as many of the list archives I could deal with. Here's the situation: I created a new Product called "Library_Catalog". In that Product, I created a custom ZClass "LibCatClass" that is CatalogAware. I created a ZCatalog "library_catalog" and changed the Indexes and MetaData Table to include the following Class properties: Indexes (this is the complete list of custom class properties) book_comments (TextIndex) book_edition " book_isbn " book_catalog_date " book_publication_year " book_sub_genre " book_author " book_genre " book_publisher " book_title " book_description " MetaData Table book_sub_genre book_publication_year book_author book_isbn book_genre book_publisher book_title I also created a ZSearch Interface with "library_search" and "library_report" as the search/report DTML methods. I then modified the "LibCatClass_add" constructor to include the following:      In the LibCatClass methods, I added "index_html", "edit_propertiesForm", and "edit_properties". The edit_properties method contains the following: <dtml-var standard_html_header>   <p>Changes saved.</p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> (I'm not including the source of edit_propertiesForm because I'm fairly certain that it's irrelevant...if not, let me know and I'll provide it.) Up to this point everything works fine...I can add new instances and they're cataloged, I can edit the properties of those instances and the changes are automatically cataloged. All appears to be well. Having cleared the catalog and deleted all the instances, I made a few changes to the Indexes part of the catalog, which is when the problems started. I decided that I wanted to have a couple of "FieldIndex" type Indexes, so I deleted the book_genre index and recreated it with "FieldIndex" as its type. I can add new instances and they're cataloged okay, and I can edit the properties that are "TextIndex" types in the Indexes and everything is still okay. But, when I try to edit the book_genre property (that is the "FieldIndex" type) the instance no longer shows up when the catalog is searched. It's _in_ the catalog, but I get the "There was no data matching this library query" message when I search for it. So, I've been through the whole thing a dozen or so times, attempting to track down the bug. As far as I can tell, there is an issue related to reindexing an instance that includes a "FieldIndex" index type. Have I missed something obvious? Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? TIA - deb (yes, I'm basically a Zope newbie, but I'm sure having a lot of fun)

newbie question: parameter passing for ZSQL Object
by zope 28 May '00

28 May '00

Hi. With some values that I got from a formular, I wan't to do some calculation stuff, and insert the calculated values into a database. My Z SQL method'insertItem' looks like Arguments: param1, param2, param3, param4 INSERT INTO plan (field1, field2, field3, field4) VALUES (<dtml-var param1>, <dtml-var param2>, <dtml-var param3>, <dtml-var param4>) (parameters should be integer values) Can anybody tell me how I can call this method and pass parameters from my DTML method? With <dtml-call insertItem>, Zope gives me following error message: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: ['param1', 'param2', 'param3', 'param4'] I was checking then "ZSQL Methods User's Guide" but, they don't give an example :-( Please help. Any idea? Thanks, Marc.

acquisition and access control
by Oliver Frommel 28 May '00

28 May '00

Hi, I have implemented a hierarchical access control with the following scheme: given the structure /a/b/c/d write access is granted if the AUTHENTICATED_USER has a role identical to the folder name or one of the parent folders, i.e. a user with role b can change contents of folders b, c, and d, but not a. I need to have a single user_folder and thus can't use a scheme similar to the content manager's guide .. It works like this: for all parents compare role to foldername if equal grant permission The problem is that one can change the access path by using acquisition, e.g. /a/b/a, so a user with only role b can now change folder a, too. is there a way to disallow acquisition for single folders or objects or any other way to make this work? thanks --Oliver
