w3m and the management interface
by R. David Murray 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

There was a recent mention of using Lynx to access the management interface of Zope. I'd like to use w3m. It produces a more pleasing page given all those little spacer images Zope uses. Also, it automatically launches vi for me when I hit return on the edit screen's text input area, which is *way* cool <grin>. However, it doesn't seem to be handling the management interface correctly. If I descend into a management link, I get the 'view' panel for the link instead of the manage_main screen. Worse, I tried to 'rename' an index_html method, and it renamed the index_html in the *parent* folder! This is most weird. Anyone know what Zope could be emitting that w3m is not handling correctly? I'd guess redirects, but I'm surprised I end up in the view screen in that case... I'm currently running w3m beta-991203. Anyone know if whatever-it-is is fixed in a later version, assuming there is one? --RDM

Can I send SESSION variables to SQL Method ?
by Richard Moon 19 Mar '00

19 Mar '00

I'm trying to build up some variables from more than one form which are to be inserted into an SQL table. THe problem is that as soon as I call the second form the existing FORM variables in the REQUEST are lost. I've tried saving them in a SESSION variable using SQL Session (I can save them OK) but then of course I have to get them back into something which an SQL Method can understand. I'm stuck at this point. Is there any way to pass the SESSION variable into an SQL Method ?? Or, if not, How do I get the values back from SESSION so that I can call an SQL Method ? Many thanks in advance Richard Richard Moon richard(a)dcs.co.uk

reall-time data to a Java client interface from ZOPE
by Kevin Howe 19 Mar '00

19 Mar '00

I've built an application with ZOPE and would like to create a Java interface to it (probably using jpython/wxWindows) Here's how it should work: When changes are made on the ZOPE site by a client, a notification is sent from ZOPE to the Java interface and displayed in real-time. The idea here is not to have a continually refreshing Java window, but a window which updates only when it receives a message from the site to do so. What I don't know is how to send the data from ZOPE to the Java client. Can anyone point me to any existing ZOPE Products/Projects/How-To's which are similar to what I've described, or perhaps point me in the right direction?

Version bug?
by Christopher J. Kucera 19 Mar '00

19 Mar '00

Greetings! I think I may have found a bug in the way Zope handles versions. To recreate: 1) Set up a version, say, "TestVersion." 2) Rename the version to something else, say, "NewTestVersion." 3) This breaks the following: * When you enter the version, the "you are working in" line displays "TestVersion" * The "Version Management" Control Panel link shows TestVersion as well (this breaks the link, too) * Any file modified by the version shows up as TestVersion, too. This happens on: Zope version: Zope 2.1.4 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Is this a bug? -CJ

Zope 2.1.5 release and *security update*
by Brian Lloyd 19 Mar '00

19 Mar '00

Hi all, Zope 2.1.5 has been released - you can download it from the usual place on Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.1.5/ This release fixes two fairly important security issues that have recently come to our attention: o It was possible for a Zope user with a fair amount of Zope zen and permission to create DTML documents and Folders to circumvent the security machinery within DTML in certain situations, possibly giving the user the ability to use resources that he wouldn't otherwise be able to access via DTML. o It also came to our attention that the DTML code in ZSQLMethod objects was not subject to the same security constraints as the DTML code in DTMLMethods and DTML Documents. The 2.1.5 release fixes both of these issues and we highly recommend that you upgrade, especially if you use Zope for sites that allow untrusted users to create Folders and DTML Documents or DTML Methods. The release also includes a number of recent bug fixes, including the problem in TimeStamp objects that caused the bobobase_modification_time() of Zope objects to appear to be a day behind. Note that this release contains two binary changes, so those running Zope from the source release will need to rebuild the Zope extensions after applying the update. The fixes are also available in CVS and binaries will need to be rebuilt after the update for those of you using CVS. Note that with the 2.1.5 release we will also be releasing "diff" updates as .tgz files that will let you easily upgrade an existing 2.1.x site. These updates are available for those currently using the 2.1.x source release or the 2.1.x binary releases for either solaris or linux (diff releases are not available for win32 for now). To apply a differential update to your site: o download the appropriate .tgz file from zope.org o shutdown your Zope process o copy the .tgz to your Zope directory and extract it o run w_pcgi or wo_pcgi *if you are not using a binary release* o restart your process Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
