Re: Methods in a Simple Class

Salut Olivier, Did you solve your issue below? If not, please reexplain what you are trying to achieve. If you want to render one of your ZClass with <dtml-var myClass> you may need to subclass "Renderable BaseClass" (available on the Zope site). Or I am barking up the wrong tree?

getting object given path
by R. David Murray 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

I know I've seen reference to a function to get an object reference given a URL path, but I can't seem to find it. It doesn't help that I've been up for more than 24 hours trying to get this code to work. I'm just trying to update a series of objects programatically. I have a form working that submits the data for a Catalog query to select the correct objects. The dtml-in statement is working fine as evidenced by just printing the meta_data Id. However... If I do a <dtml-with getobject(data_record_id)>, the 'id' variable has the value of the id of the folder above the one the Catalog is in. Doing a <dtml-var> on the getobject call shows me a 'folder instandce'. None of the cataloged items are folders, they are ZClass instances. Earlier I ran through the whole catalog using the dtml-with construct and a reindex_object call, and the reindexing worked fine. But now if I try to call propertysheets.info.manageChangeProperties() I get told that 'info' does not exist, even though that is definately the name of the propertysheet. I'm desperate to get this working for the client. getpath returns the correct value, so I think if I can turn that path into an object I can access the property sheets and get them updated. But I also want to know what is going wrong with my Catalog and/or the getobject method thereof. I'm not sure where to start looking.... I'm running under Site Access, and I'm guessing that is the source of my problem, somehow. --RDM

standard_error_message in 2 places
by ù�K�� 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

i have a folder, devel, as a subfolder of '/'. i have also 2 set of standard_html_header[footer] and standard_error_message in the 2 folders. the situations is: while the corresponding standard_html_header[footer] work well, the standard_error_message under devel folder doesn't work. standard_error_message under '/' is the one always returned to the browser. is there an explaination of this situation? or do I misunderstand the concept of acqusition? thanks for your answers -- 'Life is like boxes of chocolate, Forrest.

HowTo Download Files
by Roy Martin 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Hello, I have a problem with allowing clients to download files from a Zope folder. The HTML tag is as follows: <P><AHREF="/some_folder/Download/AvsB">AvB</A></P> With "AvB" being the Zope ID in the Download folder. There is an acl_users folder on the "some_folder" directory and the user belongs to the correct group. All sub-folders obtain their permissions from "some_folder". When a client tries to save the file, the client gets the following message: "Cannot copy. Cannot find the file specified." Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Roy W. Martin rwmarti(a)nuecesgroup.com

2nd post - Renaming and the Z Search Interface
by Michael Simcich 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

I've used Z Search Interface to create a set of forms and reports. I renamed some of the objects, including the data source. I've corrected all of the values that are visible via the Zope management interface so that the new names are reflected. All of the queries run by independantly if tested. But none of the reports (search results) operate if they are run via the Z Search interface pages (they did before the renaming ops). The error returned is: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Resource not found Additionally, there is one Z Search Interface "form" that will not open at all, even if *all* of it's text is stripped out. At that point, to the "naked eye", there is no content to the method at all. I was expecting to find some hidden properties associated with the objects that I could tweak and fix these errors but no luck. What is hidden from me that I cannot access? Or is this evidence of some corruption in the ZODB? And are these "oddities" (as they appear to me now) peculiar to the Z Search Interface or is this common behavior with Zope in general? Thanks Michael Simcich AccessTools

Re: [Zope] GUF: Generic User Folder
by Hung Jung Lu 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

OK, I browsed a little bit about GUF on the mailing list, and it seems that there are quite a few disasters. Horrible disasters. Sorry, but GUF seems a bit too inmature. So, let me come back to the original question again, beside straight GUF, is there any other way of tapping into Zope's security model and using a generic user?

WorldPilot send problem
by coder＠kanga.nu 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

I've installed WorldPilot (D/L'ed today) under Zope 2.1.4-2. I followed the INSTALL file instructions and everything seems to work just fine with one exception. When I attempt to COMPOSE and then SEND a message I get the following traceback:  Note: When I watch my MTA's (Exim) log files I see no sign of an attempted connection. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Internet: coder(a)kanga.nu ...Honorary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith...

WorldPilot IMAP folder filenames
by coder＠kanga.nu 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

I don't know if there are any standards here, but I'm moving a TWIG installation to WorldPilotand am running into some IMAP folder naming problems. We have TWIG configured to look in ~<user>/imap/xyz for an IMAP folder called "xyz". This (per memory) is consistent with how I recall other IMAP clients working outside of our use of "imap" instead of the cannonical "Mail" (historical reasons). Now, I can edit WorldPilot's MailListRoot to be "imap", but the problem then is that WorldPilot then looks for folders in ~<user>/imap.xyz (ie the file "imap.xyz" versus the file "xyz" in the "imap" directory). I'd thought the defacto standard was to use a directory and then files underneath that. No? Is there a reason for WorldPilot taking this tack? It makes the migration less elegant (we can't let people switch back and forth).. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Internet: coder(a)kanga.nu ...Honorary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith...

Re: [Zope] Zope in chroot enviroment
by Andrew Diller 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Well, I can't give it python, that would defeat the purpose of the chrooted webspace. It seems to me that Zope maynot lend itself to being frozen. Has anyone out there frozen Zope and managed it to continue to work? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 3/11/00, 4:35:44 AM, Bill Anderson <bill(a)libc.org> wrote regarding Re: [Zope] Zope in chroot enviroment: > Andrew Diller wrote: > > > > Is anyone running this? > > > > Can it be done?

RE: [Zope] getting object from path
by Jason Spisak 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

R. David, I think you want <dtml-in "Catalog(mystuff=mystuff)"> <dtml-with "resolve_url(getpath(data_record_id_),REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.MyProperties.manage_changeProperties( blah=foo blahblah=bar )"> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> This will change the properties to whatever you want for the instances found in the above Catalog search (mystuff=mystuff). All my best, Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com
