My apologies.

ZODB & large files
by ethan mindlace fremen 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Zopistas, I'm setting up zope on a linux box with support for large files. (>2gb). I need to make sure that the ZODB will continue to work properly past this point. Is the filesystem stuff the ZODB does handled by python or ZODB? If the answer is ZODB, where can I look for fs calls to make sure they're 64 bit? Thanks, Ethan Fremen http://imeme.net

ZClass bug ?!
by Andreas 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

I created a ZClass based upon DTMLDocument.I wanted to have a DTMLDocument class with some additional integer properties. So I decided NOT to derive my class from ObjectManager. Now when I create an instance of my new class within a Folder the instance has no id ! I think this is not a feature ;-) -- _________________________________________________________ Andreas Heckel andreas(a)aHIT.de

zGold?
by Lucas Vogel 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Why isn't zGold published at the zope.org site like the rest of the products? Is it still usable? Can someone send me a copy, since the site that hosts zGold won't come up? Thanks -- Lucas Vogel lucas7(a)home.com ICQ: 44697169

Zope and remote caches.
by jiva＠devware.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

So, if I am grokking the whole zope thang properly here, then theoretically, when I imbed objects within my zope documents, I shouldn't hardcode in specific urls to them. Instead, I should treat them almost as if they are always in the current directory, even if they are a couple of folders up. This way, if I want to override some behavior in the future, I just copy the object down into the current folder and edit it. I notice however, that if I do this, it plays hell with browser caching because the browser winds up pulling things from different places all the time even if it's actually winding up pulling the same document down. How do other people deal with this? -- Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything.

This 'patch' did in fact work although the problem was in fact more subtle than originally described - the 'unhandled' type error only arose if I used joins in the select part of the statement. -- Dr. John A.R.

RE: Different Login Screens for Management and User?
by Stefan Langerman 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

I was working on the same kind of problem (see my earlier post today), and I think I found some solution, thanks to the many hints here and in the zope-ptk list. It's actually quite simple. The trick is to play with exceptions. In your standard_html_header, include something like (replace 'Member' with the role you want): <dtml-unless "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Member')"> <dtml-raise type="Please Login!"> <p>Please login before entering!<p> </dtml-raise> </dtml-unless> When the error is raised, the standard_error_message is called, so from there, you can do some more tests and go to the appropriate login page. I have not fully tested this yet, but I think it should work. I think if you put type=Unauthorized in the dtml-raise tag, you should get the usual HTML login instead of the error. Anyone has a better (more elegant/original/creative) solution? -- Stefan. > James W.
