Dear people, i'm new to Zope and am in search for a way to do the following: central document-administration adress-administration date-scheduler (I'm translating back from german here - maybe all of this together is called groupware?) All of this for only about 10 hosts, running under Win95/98 I would like to use Zope on a LINUX server for this, but am aware that Lotus Domino may be the way to go - i just don't know if there *are* such Products for Zope ... Can someone point me to the right direction? ;-) Byebye, -- Thomas Ackermann | Tel. +49-(0)228/631369|73-7773 | <tgm(a)math.uni-bonn.de> finger tgm(a)rhein.math.uni-bonn.de for public key GNU LINUX Python gtk pygtk MySQL FUDGE GURPS

dtml-in over LocalFS
by Sin Hang Kin 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

In attempt to write an interface to present a series pages on the same folder from a localfs, I have the following code, This is intended to place on top and bottom of the page a page-number bar which provide access to other pages in the same folder. However, there are some problem I could not handle: 1. If I just want .stx, html , text and xml documents, how can I select them? 2. I can not make test if the in loop is on the same document this document is in. I could not test the sequence-item against the document id. How can I handle them?

Upgraded to 2.1.6, now all pages return an unauthorized error!
by Bill Anderson 29 Mar '00

As a result, the site is entirely unusable. I can login to management screens, and do management stuff, but _even_ as manager, can't view any pages! traceback follows:  If you could CC a copy to this address, I'd appreciate it very much. -- Bill Anderson Linux/Unix Administrator, Security Analyst ESBU (ARC) bill_anderson(a)boi.hp.com My opinions are just that; _my_ opinions.

Help ...........Desperate
by Daniel G. Rusch 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Help very desperate.... We have a Zope site running: Zope version: Zope 2.0.1 (source release, python 1.5.1, linux2) (also happens on a seperate box running Zope 2.1.6) Python version: 1.5.2 (#6, Sep 22 1999, 10:32:58) [GCC 2.8.1] System Platform: sunos5, Ultra-2 It seems that if a user hits a page that either does an intense database query or iterates over a large number of items, all other users are prevented from accessing any page....! This problem may to be related to the dtml-in but we are not sure. For example suppose user A hits the following page (before user B hits his page):  <dtml-in "_.range(999)"> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"> <dtml-in "_.range(999)"> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"> </dtml-in> </dtml-in>  And User B tries to access this page: <html><head> </head> <body> This is test </body> </html> User B is prevented from accessing his page until User A's page returns. Please help ASAP Dan

strange permission behaviour
by Ingo Assenmacher 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Hi All! Ok, just in time for my new nervous-breakdown, read this: I have a ZClass which does have a "render" method. The render-method collects items from a catalog and calls these objects' "render" method. Unfortunately this raises an Unauthorised Error, whenever I do not use the super-user account. (Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Unauthorized You are not authorized to access render. Ok, so I gave the calling Method the proxy-role of the Manager. No change. The strange thing about it is, and that is what puzzles me, that it works for another class (which does only slightly different things). So, what now, hu? Regards, Ingo.

User-defined role authentication
by Adam Davis 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

I have defined a role, editor, in my Zope system. It is not clear to me how to prompt a user who is not a manager to authenticate so that Zope will recognize the user as something other than anonymous. Any pointers? -Adam

Zope Weekly News
by Mike Pelletier 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

G'day, Zope Weekly News is a digest of some of the useful and interesting events which have occurred on the zope-announce mailing list and the Zope.org site. The ZWN is changing days! The next ZWN will be published on Tuesday. Any opinions contained in the Zope Weekly News are those of the chronicler exclusively. Announcements * ZEO will go Open Source ZEO, the commercial Zope scalability option from Digital Creations, will go Open Source. After a trial period in mid-April, it will be available to everyone by mid-May. ZEO (Zope Enterprise Option) turns Zope into a distributed transactional object system, allowing people to add processors, machines, and networks to scale their web applications. More information can be found on the ZEO Product page. http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO/ * Oracle 8i Setup file, by Chris Petrilli Chris has released his Oracle setup file. This file is used to create the Oracle library. It has been tested internally for a couple of weeks. See Chris's announcement for a caveat. http://www.zope.org/Members/petrilli/Oracle8i * Zope LATEX Math, by Bruno Vernier On his site, Bruno describes how to use LaTeX notation to render mathematical expressions directly from Zope. http://ess.vancouver.bc.ca/zope/math * Users Group - Ohio James Orbin <jorbin33(a)hotmail.com> would like to set up (or would like to participate in) a Zope users group for Ohio. If you are interested, please write James, or see: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-announce/2000-March/000137.html New Products * Software Product: L10NFolder, by "fog" The author writes, "This is a subclass of the standard folder with some added bonuses. The L10NFolder support localized properties and search paths." http://www.zope.org/Members/fog/l10nfolder Updates * Software Product: XML Document, by Amos Latteier XML Document has been updated to work with Zope 2.1.6. The latest release is 1.0a6. http://www.zope.org/Products/XMLDocument * Software Product: Zope MySQL Database Adapter, by "mordred" "mordred" has released an update to the MySQL Database Adapter, by Michel Pelletier (Portland). This release is 1.1.4, and fixes one bug: - Fixed a bug that caused Zope to fail on selecting aggregate functions such as 'select max(number) from table' * Software Product: ZWiki, by "simon" ZWiki is a Wiki web for Zope. Zope and Wiki are a good combination. Wiki assumes that, in general, users are trustworthy. Zope, with it's security and transaction history, makes it easy to trust users. ZWiki is a sort of anarchic collaborative authoring system. This version, 0.5, streamlines the default pages and UI, and disables the experimental catalog support. This release is intended to be immediately usable out of the box. http://www.zope.org/Members/simon/ZWiki/ Zope.org items * How-To: Changing Base Classes for a ZClass, by "AlexR" When you create a ZClass, you are given an opportunity to chose which classes it will inherit from. Since ZClasses are often used for rapid prototyping, you will not always select the correct classes the first time. It is quite a lot of work to create a new set of classes with the correct bases and to move all the contents into them from the old classes. Armed with this How-To, you will be able to change the base classes of a ZClass in-place! http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ChangingBaseClasses * How-To: Serve PHP/Perl within Zope, by "Mamey" "As you migrate your site to Zope, you may want to embed a previously created PHP or Perl directory tree within Zope. Or perhaps you found a nifty web application that is coded in PHP/Perl and want to serve it within your Zope site." This is a bit more advanced than simply rewriting certain URLs to be served by a different server. This How-To will actually allow you to embed the external content in dynamic Zope pages. http://www.zope.org/Members/Mamey/PHP -- Mike Pelletier.

building/exporting site and server question
by David Eleuterius 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

I am relatively new to Zope, and I am working on a personal project at home on my Win98 box. I am just now getting the "zen" of Zope as everyone refers to it, and am building a true functional application. So now that I am getting comfortable with Zope, here is my question. I am wondering if I can build my site/application on my Win98 box at home, export it out and then import it into another Zope installation running on another operating system (either BSDI or Linux). I am thinking I will have to buy my own server so that I can let Zope run as the server itself -- our servers up here all run Apache and I doubt our systems administrator up here would want to take the time and effort required to get that running properly (plus those are production servers, not really for employee projects!). Is it possible and/or recommended to build a site/application on one installation and import it into another? Or should I just go ahead and by a box, put Linux on it, and proceed to build it on that platform? My concern is spending a lot of time building out the site on my home box and then finding a show-stopping hitch in the migration to another platform/installation. Anyone who has had any experience with migrating Zope applications to other platforms/installation please reply so that I can make an informed decision as to how to proceed. And also is there any reason to use Apache instead of letting Zope run as the server itself -- this will be on my own server so I doubt there will be much else on the box then my personal project and my home site (two virtual domains). Thanks in advance.
