Hats off to Zope
by David H 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Zope List, I just wanted to thank the developers of Zope for coming up with an amazing product. I sometimes admire things in life and Zope is one of them. I also want to say that there is a population of Zope "helpers" that is truly impressive. Seems like the best Zope developers take time to answer almost every question. Thanks for listening, David

DirectoryStorage?
by Shane Graber 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on DirectoryStorage as compared to FilesystemStorage, which ships with the default Zope product. From what I've read on the website (http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/) it claims to be a much more robust and fault tolerant way of storing data compared to FilesystemStorage (Data.fs). I hadn't given DirectoryStorage much thought until I saw that Enfold Systems (http://www.enfoldsystems.com/Products/Server/Features) released their Enfold Enterprise Server as default using DirectoryStorage as opposed to FilesystemStorage. Based on this, I wanted to get some feedback from the Zope community about this storage option, it's scalability, it's use in a high volume production setting, it's stability, scalability, robustness, etc. And if the Enfold Systems people are reading this, I'd be interested in their reasons behind their decision to go this route as I'm sure some thought was put into why to go this way as opposed to what ships default with Zope. Our group will be going into production with 2-3 Zope/Plone sites in the very near future and robustness, security, and scalability are key factors in our production environment. What are the community's thoughts on DirectoryStorage as compared to FilesystemStorage? Thanks in advance, Shane -- http://liquid.homelinux.org/

Style guide for ZPT?
by Paul Winkler 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hiya, I've been asked to come up with some formal coding standards for my employer's Zope projects. For Python code, I just use the relevant PEPs (maybe with a few addendums), but I'm wondering if anything similar exists for ZPTs so I don't have to completely reinvent the wheel. Validating as XHTML is a good first step, but that can still leave you with random indentation, absurdly long TALES statements, ugly loop idioms, use of "tal:replace" vs. use of macros, whether or not "tal:" and "metal:" attributes should be on the same line as vanilla XHTML attributes, etc. The first of those is easy to fix with Tidy, but the others are necessarily zope-specific. I seem to recall there was a ZPT style guide for Plone at some point, but it's resisting all my best efforts at googling - I get hints that something existed but has vanished from the net. For example: http://www.tchezope.org/traducoes/lp/ingles/7 "Temporarily discontinued, out of date" If nothing turns up, I'll probably just write my own based on what I like and publish it somewhere, maybe on zopewiki.org. (But not till after my impending vacation...) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Zope Shopping Cart Opinions?
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all. Does anyone have direct production experience with ZWarehouse? I would like to hear some opinions, especially from active users. My first impression, after install and about 2 hours of configuration is that: it has lots of potential, is well thought out, and has lots of bugs (as of 03/28/05). Your experiences? Alternatives?

User changing their own password via External Method with Cookie Crumbler
by Dave Cinege 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

After I installed Cookie Crumbler my external method for a user to change their own password will no longer work. I realize I've got a chicken and egg issue with the cookie needing to be updated at the same time as the change...or something. : P How do I fix this ? I've been using code that looks something like this: def UserEditFunc (self): reqd = dict(self.REQUEST) self.acl_users.userFolderEditUser(reqd['username'],reqd['password'],'','')

re: add role to user (using API)

' You pass in the object (folder, content object, etc) you want to set ' local roles on, a sequence of member IDs, and the role name. I am confusing them. I found the solution in some existing code. The solution isn't to add the role, but rather to edit the user and provide a new list of roles, like so: member = context.portal_membership.getMemberById(userid) context.acl_users.userFolderEditUser(userid, \ None, \ new_roles, \ <---- here! member.getDomains()) The API documentation might be sufficient, however, it's quite difficult to find the correct method in the first place. Anyway, problem solved. \malthe ---- mail: mborch(a)3avod.dk blog: www.3avod.dk/blog/ crypto-key: 3avod.dk/keys/mborch.asc --------------------------------------

add role to user (using API)
by Malthe Borch 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Hello list, --- I'm trying to use the MembershipTool to append a role to one of my users, using the setLocalRoles API-function. How does this function work? I want to upgrade a user from plain 'Member' to a new role, in a form script. Ideas are appreciated. \malthe ---- mail: mborch(a)3avod.dk blog: www.3avod.dk/blog/ crypto-key: 3avod.dk/keys/mborch.asc --------------------------------------

Newbie - can't log in to localhost:8080/manage
by peter 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere. I couldn't find anything suitable in recent archives, but if it has already been answered, a URL would be much appreciated. I've just installed Zope version 2.7.2-5.1 under SuSE 9.2 Pro, using apt. The installation is fine and localhost:8080 comes up just fine as expected. However, I can't log in to the management site at localhost:8080/manage. I've run zpasswd.py access and zpasswd.py inituser: ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux:/opt/zope/bin # ./zpasswd.py access Username: admin Password: Verify password: Please choose a format from: SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default) CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password CLEARTEXT - no protection Encoding: Domain restrictions: linux:/opt/zope/bin # ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux:/opt/zope/bin # ./zpasswd.py inituser Username: peter Password: Verify password: Please choose a format from: SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default) CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password CLEARTEXT - no protection Encoding: SHA Domain restrictions: linux:/opt/zope/bin # --------------------------------------------------------------------- I ran both these with zope disabled and then re-started zope: but I still can't get a password accepted when I try to login to the management page. Could somebody please put me out of my misery. I'm sure I've missed something very elementary. Thanks in advance Peter
