Hello, I'm very new to zope and I was wondering how I can reference a property that is in a subfolder. ex: there is a folder called "main" inside the "main" there is a folder called "sub" and I create a property called "message" is there a way for me to call to that property outside of that folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Jon

RE: [Zope] Listening on specific interfaces

Thanks Jeff...that was the problem...all of my Zope instances until now have been started by uid zope. Rather stupid mistake, but a learning experience nonetheless.

using manage_upload
by Timothy Wilson 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Hi everyone, I'm asking this question again because I still haven't been able to work it out for myself. I'd like to have a button or link on a page that, when pressed, presents the user (the Manager actually) with a dialog to upload a new version of a file object that's in that directory. I presume that the manage_upload method would do the trick, but I can't figure out how to use it. The file object I want to update is called 'Bookmark.htm'. I'm trying to make it easy for our school librarian to distribute our standard bookmarks to all of the machines in the building. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

Authentication - login/logout
by Wade Simmons 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Does anyone know how to logout a Zope user? Basically I need to be able to force an authenticated user back to the 'Anonymous' user programmatically. (when someone presses a logout button, etc.) Also, how can I change the message text in the login popup window? Currently it says something like, "Enter username for Zope at foo.bar.com:" I would like to be able to modify this depending on where someone is logging in.

Actually, that isn't quite the point. He isn't actually arguing for AOLserver's superiority over every other system, and somewhere (but I can't find exactly where) he suggests instead: Your development technology doesn't matter. I wish more managers knew this. You can build interesting applications in Zope. You can build them using Java servlets, or CGI, or WebObjects. No tool is going to magically solve all your problems, and solving them will require familiarity with your tools, hard work and careful effort, no matter what you use. We had a manager here who was quite enamored of Java, and early on we wrote some stuff in Java servlets. He viewed our Zope work as just stopgaps on the way to Java code that would carry us into the long-term, but every time I asked "What problem would be solved by rewriting all our Python code into Java?", there was no clear answer. Unfortunately, far too many people in business computing follow a similar management-by-white-paper-and-press-release style. Similarly, Greenspun argues that you shouldn't re-invent databases; it would require a tremendous amount of work to add to your home-grown system all the features that existing databases have -- fancy query optimization; storage across several devices; on-line backups; federated operation; etc... So use an existing system; Greenspun's preference is Oracle, but he doesn't argue it like a law of nature. -- A.M.

DCOracle & netv2
by Ken Kinder 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

I have Oracle 8i for Linux. When I tried to compiled the ZOPE DCOracle interface, I got errors about the missing library 'netv2' which it seems is supposed to be part of Oracle. Does anyone know why I might not have this library or how I can get my hands on it? -- Ken Kinder kkinder(a)messagemedia.com Database Developer 303 381 7631

Starting Zope automatically on bootup (QUEST)
by Oscar Picasso 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Hi, I'm running Zope 2.1.14 on Redhat Linux 6.1. I would like it to start automatically when the computer boots. I'm looking for a workable rc script for this configuration. I tried the script found on the How-to: Installing and Upgrading Zope 2.X. On start up the computer displays the messages "Sarting Zope2 service: ". However it doesn't go further and I have to reboot my computer. Thanks in advance. Here is the script I used. Thanks in advance. ################################################### #! /bin/sh # # processname: zope2 # Source function library. .. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Get config. .. /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] then exit 0 fi # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope2 service: " daemon /usr/local/zope/zope214/start ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping Zope2 service: " /usr/local/zope/zope214/stop ;; restart|reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: zope {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac exit ##############################

Comparing "unsized objects" and strings
by Christian Selig 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Hello all, I have a little problem. I know where it is, but not how to solve it :-) I have a DTML document: ---snip <dtml-in "externalMeth(p)"> <dtml-var aid>  </dtml-in> ---snap Okay, no problem so far. But when I want to compare the value to a parameter I have given to the document via a <FORM>: ---snip <dtml-in "externalMeth(p)"> <dtml-var aid>  <dtml-if "aid == param"> Hi there! </dtml-if> ---snap The expression evaluates always to false. I have traced the problem back with an external method ("<dtml-if "equals(aid, param)">"). When trying the "len" function on both variables, "param" is not a problem (it's a string from the the <FORM>), but "aid" complains that it was an "unsized object". How do I compare them?
