formatting property tokens with Dtml
by Alex Rice 09 Jun '99

09 Jun '99

What's the best way to format token type properties? The best I can do with my limited grokitude of dtml is this:    This outputs like this ['Ambient', 'Drone Rock', 'Beats'] How do I convert sequence-item to a plain string so I can bullet it or whatever?

Thanks!

Hi all, Thanks for visiting the site. Hope all enjoyed it. Thanks also for giving me feedback of several problems. I've fixed some javascript thingies and a bad url. Also added a 'how_should_webpage_normally_look' however, on solaris and hp-ux systems the submenus are cut-off :-(. Does somebody knows about the coördinate system on these systems with netscape? I think that's the problem there. But maybe the problem is solved now??? So, if somebody has still some time and experienced at an earlier visit some problems, please check it once more. Offcourse you can visit the site also just for reading some stuff :-). www.master.cit.be/c8/default.html Tom.

Loading the same Product set with ZODB2 works just great.

Newbie: install a Product
by zhaoway 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

This is a pretty newbie's Q: Before I read through the ProductTutorial stuff, I just wanna install the Poll product and/or the Guestbook product to have some fun. After I untar'ed the package into place, and did a Add-Product under the Control_Panel -> Products, I got the open- box-icon-Poll stuff under Control_Panel -> Products -> Poll, then I saw: "There are currently no items in Poll Product", now what? I have not got any change in the Add-list anywhere. And Add-Factory did not wanna work here. Please gimme a step-by-step. TIA. :) I just wanna have some first hand experience on successfully installing a product before I read through the whole tutorial. Think this way I'll gain some much more fun, seems not, hehe.... --zhaoway .________________________________ /http://mud.jlonline.com/~zhaoway\ 闷罐船 \zhaoway(a)public1.ptt.js.cn / 水世界 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

apache + ZServer + Zope 1.x
by Alex Rice 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Does there is exist a tutorial, or can someone provide a brief explanation of how to use ZServer in combination with Apache + Zope 1.10.2 src release? I'm currently running Apache -> PCGI Zope, but don't want to wait for the 2.0 for FTP and WebDAV support <drool> Thanks , Alex Rice | alrice(a)swcp.com | http://www.swcp.com/~alrice Current Location: N.

I've come upon a snag however. If I pass in SomeObject above I will get an "You are not authorized to access SomeObject" error. So instead I need to pass in the object id and get the object myself. However I have had no luck working out how to do this. What I need is the getitem method in an external method. Searching through all the code as left me none the wiser. Here's the closest I have. from AccessControl.Permission import Permission def hasPermission(self, pname, objName, AUTHENTICATED_USER): SomeObject = self.__getitem__(objName) P = Permission(pname,'',SomeObject) P.obj=SomeObject for i in AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles(): if i in P.getRoles(): return 1

FYI: Portal Toolkit Demo updated
by Amos Latteier 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

I just wanted to let you know that I've added a new animated GIF to the Portal Toolkit Demo. http://www.zope.org/Products/PortalToolkit/Tour/CollaborationAndTheDeskt op The new animated GIF shows off Zope's WebDAV and FTP integration. If you've never personally experienced the magic of using WebDAV or FTP to edit your Zope objects, be sure to check this out and start salivating. -Amos P.S. I can't wait for some more cool WebDAV clients! -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

It's 'featurish'. This kind of thing falls under the feature/bug anti-duality law. It's not a bug, because it's doing exactly the right thing, it's not a feature, because it's generally not very useful. I can imagine a situation somewhere in which it is useful (don't call my bluff) but I can also easily immagine situations in which it's not very useful at all (below). > The problem is, that nobody can forbid people to call such links, > which is the problem I am facing right now (They just do it!). > At least things like > > /Documentation/Documentation/Documentation/Documentation You can't forbid people, no, but you can prevent such paths from being constructed from *your* code. I don't think there is any kind of Denial of Server attack possible from this, a mild annoyance at best. > should not be allowed or did I miss some Zope Zen? I think it should be allowed, and that the Zen be elaborated on a bit. You shouldn't design your site so that these things occur unless you really want it. -Michel

You win the Zope Hero of the month award. Jeff can crown you since he's the reigning PCGI hall of famer. We discussed mod_pcgi alot a day ago, and we want you and everybody to know that mod_pcgi will be a DC supported piece of software. Not to say that we will just rip it out of your hands and take it over, but if you feel like you've spent too much time on it or you're not interested in developing anymore, it won't die, we'll keep it alive (We need it!). That aside, we would still, of course, like someone in the community to be the mod_pcgi shepard. Although possibly a good bit of your time in the future could be taken up with mod_pcgi issues (Jeff, did you ever think PCGI would take up the amount of time it does for you?) we hope whomever shepards the mod_pcgi project will feel the warm heart glowing feeling of knowning that thousands of people are using your code everyday (get out the hankerchiefs). And of course, you can also feel the warm glowing feeling of wearing a Zope t-shirt! be the envy of your neighborhood! So let us know what you think about mod_pcgi, how much time (if any) you want to continue to put into it, how far along it has to go etc. And if there is anyone out there interested in helping contribute to what will be one of *the* most popular Apache modules in the near future, chime in. -Michel the mod_php3 but kicker > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >
