Actual Permissions
by Robin Becker 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Is there any way for me to debug simple permission problems ie like see the absolute permissions for particular objects/users. I now have a problem after making a set of complicated changes that one of my pages requires a master password. I couldn't seem to figure what was the limiting object. After a lot of head scratching I figured the problem out. Tiny tables don't allow querying for anonymous as the default, but I imagine some way to see what the limiting access was would be really useful. -- Robin Becker

Ok, it's Zope 2.0.0b5. I have RedHat 6.0. I downloaded the source of python 1.5.2 and compiled --withthreads I installed python in the default /usr/local/lib, Killed the old python 1.5.1 Symbolic links to /usr/bin for python and python 1.5 so the other RH stuff doesn't break. Apache has been terminated.

Or, we can create a new sintax like: &dtml-name#html_quote; equivalent to:  this can be useful to others formations as: &dtml-name#lower; &dtml-name#captalize; etc...

Re: [Zope] editing content-type text/css?
by Kevin Dangoor 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

If you uploaded the stylesheet as a "File" object, you won't be able to edit it. File objects are most commonly binary data. If you create the style sheet as a DTML Document or DTML Method, you'll be able to edit the text. You will want to add a line like: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/css')"> Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Ethan Fremen <mindlace(a)majordomo.net> To: zope(a)zope.org <zope(a)zope.org> Date: Thursday, August 26, 1999 2:21 PM Subject: [Zope] editing content-type text/css? >zopes, > >I imported my stylesheet that is called with the <link> tag in all my >documents. > >I intend to continue doing this, as AFAIK the browser can download one >instance of the css document and use it for all further documents that >refer to it. > >This is opposed to what I see at some Zoped sites, where style is an >object that's included as a <STYLE > tag.

RE: [Zope] How do I create a cursor on a query in Zope

Zope Gurus: this is a tricky one, _please_ help
by Heiko Stoermer 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

No one has yet been able to help me in this matter... I need to copy an object into the current folder via manage_clone or whatever other method there is. The problem is that the object cannot be reached by acquisition, because it resides in some other folder: /__zope |_____folder | |_____object1 | |_____object2 | |_____object3 | |_____current_folder It would be ease to simply call "manage_clone(folder.object1,'newname',REQUEST)" of course, but the selected object comes from a list in a DTML form and thus the ID cannot be hardcoded. The user selects an ID from the list, hits a button and the next DTML Document is supposed to clone the selected object into the current directory. If I put something like "manage_clone(REQUEST['input'],'newname',REQUEST)" I get an error: -> Error Type: AttributeError -> Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'cb_isCopyable' I tried all kinds of variations for the first parameter of manage_clone, and it works if the desired object can be called by acquisition (e.g. if it's in the root folder), but as soon as the object is in a subfolder, everything breaks. Please help me, I urgently need this feature in my appliction - and time runs out. ;-) Thanks so far, Heiko. P.S.: yes, I also tried copy and paste, but the pasteObjects() bailed, too. -- Heiko Stoermer MIG Augsburg
