subuser can't manage_changeProperties?
by Ethan Fremen 09 Oct '99

09 Oct '99

Zopistas, I've got a product built more or less from the instructions in ZCMG. I (the root user) can run the product fine: it creates the document I want. I want these documents to be created in a certain folder, so I set up a user in that folder. I give it full management permissions, which is every permission including Manage properties. I can access the creation form, but when I submit the information, it tells me that I don't have permission to manage_changeProperties. I've given builder (the dtml script that makes the page) the permissions: Access contents information, Change DTML methods, Manage properties, and view. what am I doing wrong? some of the traceback: File /export/home/sources/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: builder) File /export/home/sources/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 148, in render (Object: manage_clone(t_evento,REQUEST['new_id'],REQUEST)) File /export/home/sources/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 315, in eval (Object: manage_changeProperties( title=REQUEST['new_evento'], evento=REQUEST['new_evento'], data=REQUEST['new_data'], local=REQUEST['new_local'], organizador=REQUEST['new_organizador'], postal=REQUEST['new_postal'], fone=REQUEST['new_fone'], email=REQUEST['new_email'], uri=REQUEST['new_uri'], descriacao=REQUEST['new_descriacao'], hidden=1, )) Unauthorized: (see above) -- ~mindlace

ZClasses and properties
by Oscar Picasso 09 Oct '99

09 Oct '99

Hi, I think there is something I don't understsand about ZClasses or maybe the permissions used in ZClasses. I created a Zclass in which I have a propertie sheet with title, description... But what I want is to be able to store in each instance of that class some objects (photos). So I created in the Class/propertysheets/methods a folder called 'Photo'. This doesn't work because it seems that all what is put in the propertysheets/methods are Class "methods" so when I add something there, all the instances are updated with the new object. Do I have to do this programatically or is there a means to use the management screen. Any help greatly appreciated. ****************************************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ... feel free to write to me also in french or spanish (english is not my native language ;) ******************************************************

RE: [Zope] Design question for a problem tracking Systems using Z ope

>1. user management >================== For managing users, I like the idea of using LDAP authentication. You can store just anything you want in the directory (and typical directories already store the email and phone numbers for users). >2. Bunch of DTML Documents + Factory methods vs. SQL database >============================================================= >I know how to do the SQL thing, but the >document thing seems nice to me. But is it possible using Zope? Very possible. This is my next project. Bug Tracking is exactly a set of linked documents. ZODB + ZCatalog is a much better match than a relational DBMS. <insert here all of the well-known problems with mapping objects to rows, and managing semi-structured data, which are solved immediately by using an Object Database> 3. What Objects should exist? ============================================================= Here is my take for a Bug Tracking System design: each "Change Request" has these important sections: Identification Status Workflow Attachments Related Documents Disscussion Identification doc# (for cross references) summary/title description product/module/version/build type { Bug, Feature, ... } severity { show-stopper, critical, has-workaround, cosmetic, who-cares, ...} reproduciblity reporter Status owner status { new, assigned, ..., resolved } priority target fix date/build visibility (public/securty-issue/private) <rant> I have a major gripe with this one wrt Open Source projects: everything should be public, unless there is a major security issue involved. I find the Zope collector very annoying in this respect. If DC wants help fixing the bugs, people have to know what the bugs are. This field is important for closed projects. </rant> Workflow can be as simple or as complex as you want it. It should probably include a change history for at least the Status section. Attachments screen shots, test cases, etc. Related Documents Other change requests requirements docs design docs test plans/test cases version control info (e.g. when was the fix checked in?, what checkin broke it?) Discussion Confera works nicely for the Discussion section: simply create a Topic within the document. An email gateway would also be nice. The "Product Tree" has meta data about where things go. It knows about what products/modules/sub-modules are being developed and who is responsible for them (manager, developer, reviewer, QA, ...) -------------------------- I have seen at least three people mention this application on the list. I believe DC might have one in the works. I think this would be a good open-source project. I am willing to work on this one. -- Terrel ----------- p.s.: sorry for the slow reply. Keeping up with this list is a major task.

But with the new Product registration API, construction methods are now collected in a special collection of the manage_addProduct object. This is why the P SQL Input Wizard was broken. Philip's method bypasses the construction methods altogether, and tries to do the same thing that such a construction method does. It calls _setObject on the current Folder with a new instance of the SQL class. My Method makes use of the new path of the constructor method, thus using any other code that constructor method uses or may use in the future. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj(a)antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------

When will the Zope Portal Toolkit be released ? I have seen very little mention of it lately. From what I saw of it (http://www.zope.org:8080/Products/PortalToolkit/) is looked exceedingly sweet. What up ?

Looking for collaborators
by Oscar Picasso 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

Hi, I'm looking for collaborators willing to develop Web applications with Zope for small to middle sized businesses. The first step is to build a couple of "killer" Web site using Zope. The purpose is: 1- have something great to show to the businesses I plan to prospect in my area (and for you too of course). 2- experience the feasability of working together via the Internet on concret project for businesses. 3- evaluate the cost of building such projects. 4- have a working team for such projects. Interested or any question, please contact me. Thanks ****************************************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ... feel free to write to me also in french or spanish (english is not my native language ;) ******************************************************

Are you saying that <dtml-let orderby="'aFieldName'"> <dtml-in aList sort=&dtml-orderby> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> will work? I don't think this is the case. From looking at the code I saw no place where this happens.
