Anonymous users can download files stored in a restricted folder
by Barbara Harris 11 Apr '05

Is it possible to restrict access to the file download function by setting permissions on the folder containing a published file? In a Zope 2.6.4 CMF site, running on Apache, I have removed anonymous access from a portal folder (the restricted folder) and published documents and files in that folder. If a document elsewhere on the site contains a hyper link to a DOCUMENT in the restricted folder, anonymous users are prompted to login to the site when they select the link - this is what I want. However, a hyper link to a FILE published in the restricted folder triggers the Windows file download window and allows an anonymous user to download the file. Without introducing special procedures, I would like to provide the content owner with the facility to publish files in the restricted folder, and create hyperlinks to these files throughout the site that can only be accessed via Zope members. Initially I restricted the folder by deselecting 'Acquire permission settings?' and selecting Manager and Member roles only on the following permissions: - Access contents information - View Subsequently I deselected and reset the roles on all the (restricted folder's) permissions allocated to the Anonymous role at Zope instance and site level, but it made no difference. Tacking 'view' onto the end of the file url works, but this requires additional user intervention and an extra step in the download, so I'd rather find a once-off permissioning solution if I can i.e. http://myCMFsite/myRestrictedFolder (loads the login page - desired result) http://myCMFsite/myRestrictedFolder/myPublishedDocument (loads the login page - desired result) http://myCMFsite/myRestrictedFolder/myPublishedFile (triggers the Windows file download window - not acceptable) http://myCMFsite/myRestrictedFolder/myPublishedFile/view (loads the login page - desired result) The content owners' platform is IE6 or Firefox1 running on Windows 2000 or XP.

Running different Zope versions
by Henk Laloli 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Is it possible to run different Zope versions on one machine? I have a Zope 2.6.4 running and a Zope 2.7.3 both on a Windows 2003 server. They use their own python. I run them on different port numbers configured in the zope.conf file. Both are installed as services. Yet, when both are started usually only the 2.6.4 is available. I have to turn it off to reach the other. What did I forget? Any suggestion appreciated. Henk Laloli

Localizer 1.1.0 released
by "J. David Ibáñez" 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Localizer 1.1 ============= April 7, 2005 - Two years after release of Localizer 1.0, I am pleased to announce the availability of the next major version, Localizer 1.1. Localizer is a Zope [1] product for developers and web masters. Localizer solves the problem of building multilingual products and web sites, ranging from internationalization and localization of the user interface to management of multilingual content. jdavid at itaapy.com [2] What's new in 1.1 ----------------- This release brings several new features. Specifically Localizer now supports industry standards such as TMX [3] and XLIFF [4], which enhance the interoperability of Localizer based applications within mainstream environments. Native support for 'i18n' namespaces for ZPT (Zope Page Templates) is included avoiding the need to install other products. The user interfaces have been vastly improved, specially for 'LocalContent' objects. Four new translations are available: Danish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. Localizer 1.1 has been re-packaged and now depends on itools Python package and iHotfix Zope product. While these changes make installation a bit more complex, the added benefit is simplified source management. Furthermore this subtle change makes Localizer Services available to the wider audience of Python [5] developers. Last but not least, Localizer's stability has been dramatically improved by resolution of many bugs resulting in a mature and even more reliable product. Credits ------- This is the first release where the majority of work has been contributed by community users and the original author. Credit where credit is due. To Eduardo Corrales and Roberto Quero from the Deusto University [6], for the original implementation of the TMX standard. To Søren Roug and Cornel Nitu from the European Environment Agency [7], for their work on the TMX code, the implementation of the XLIFF standard, the overhaul of the LocalContent interfaces, and the Danish translation. To Alexey Lubimov for the Russian translation. To Mario Olimpio de Menezes for the original Portuguese translation. To Rodrigo Senra for updating the Portuguese translation, and for improving the Localizer API. To Marco Bizzarri for the Italian translation, and for improving the stability. Download and Install -------------------- 1. Download the Localizer meta-package from http://www.localizer.org 2. Unpack the tarball 3.

Hi List, What is the status of cvs and svn in terms of which to use to get what software. I found some messages indicating that Zope went to svn about a year ago. Thanks, David

Let's say that I have a happily running server, that I get quite a lot of "flipping cache files" with a cache-size at 6000 in my Zope instances, and that I want to improve performances. What should I do? Guillaume Tamboise

getting body text of object
by Malthe Borch 10 Apr '05

Hey list, --- In a python script I'm sending a mail using the Mailhost object. I'd like to use a template and keep this template in the portal_skins.custom folder. So I've created a ZPT object that holds my template and now I wish to retrieve the rendered text from my script. I've tried the CookedBody() method, but it doesn't seem to work. Any clues? \malthe ---- mail: mborch(a)3avod.dk blog: www.3avod.dk/blog/ crypto-key: 3avod.dk/keys/mborch.asc --------------------------------------

Dynamic hyperlink with parameter
by srikanth 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hi, I am trying to execute something like: <tr tal:repeat="recordset"> <td tal:replace="recordset/fname"><a href="eachrecordresult.html?fname='recordset/fname'"> First Name </a></td> <td tal:replace="recordset/lname"> Last Name </td> </tr> Everything works fine but the hyperlink. What I want it to look in the hyperlink is something like: eachrecordresult.html?fname='chris' where eachrecord is separe ZPT which retrieves each persons record and displays it. But how it interprets it is (each looks the same): eachrecordresult.html?fname='recordset/fname' How can I solve this problem. Thanks in advance. Srikanth.

Windows compile Zope 2.8?
by David H 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hi List, I notice that the latest Zope does not have a Windows binary release yet (zope 2.80 alpha 2). I found an old Visual C 6.0 (still in the box!) and wonder if there are instructions somewhere that I can follow to create my own binary on Windows XP? Thanks, David ps - Maybe I'm having a bad "goggling day" but couldnt find something useful. I did see that Visual C is used often for this.

DateTime(), locale, summertime etc.
by Max M 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

I have a product where I convert some external datetimes to zope DateTime() objects. I save them as UTC as zopes DateTime does by default. But when these are rendered, the time is offset by two hours. A few weeks ago, it wasn't that bad. It was only one hour, but then summertime came along ;-) So it seems that there is some magic going on where Zope tries to take locale and summertime into account. Is this configurable somewhere. In Zope, Python, as a command switch or in a config file? -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science
