The problem with your solution is that it doesn't take into account aquired permissions. >for i in AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles(): > if i in SomeObject._View_Permission.getRoles(): > return 1 >return 0

I'm not sure what your proposing other than using having different roles for each restricted area. And that makes roles a restrictive device. I have several areas and several groups of users. My roles represent a type of user not a type of access to a particular area. A role may enable access to many areas. This is how it supposed to work with roles as I understand it. The problem I'm trying to addess, which for some reason I can't seem to get across to anyone, is as follows. If say I development area to only users with role developer this is fine. I can then in my main page add a link to this development area that is viewable to only developers like so  <LI> <A HREF="development_area/index_html">Development Area</A>  This is fine and what I currently do. My argument is that if later I want say users with supervisor role to access the development area then I have to change the permissions on the development are and find all the has_role conditions in my code and change them. This is not huge point I realize but it seems to me a logical function that I should be able to perform. Show something if the user has permission to see it. It also means I can conditionally include DTML only if that user has permission to view that DTML. ie    If this not something that others see as important or is too hard then fine. I spent a couple of hours on it and couldn't find a nice way of doing it. I thought someone else could do it easier. A function called oldvalidate() looked promising but the name didn't seem to indicate its validity and with no documentation I couldn't work out the arguments. All I want is the security validation mechanism exposed more so I can use in DTML. Can this be done?

Has anybody tried to compile Zope2 with CygWin? I got Python 1.5.2 to compile and install, but I'm getting some compilation/linking errors when compiling Zope2. I know this is a bit vague, but then I'm feeling rather vague this morning ;) TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org

If the variable came from a form, you can add :int to the name on the form (filedID:int) so Zope will cast it to an integer. This will make the variable required, however. You could also convert the variable to an integer on the spot, using _.string.atoi, like so (untested):  -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

navigating through Zope
by Tom Deprez 27 May '99

Is it possible to use the .. like in a directory structure? I.e. as URL giving ..\..\Folder meaning: go two folders up Z ODB and then go in Folder directory. This would come in handy... At ZDP, where using a tree to show partials of ZBook. In this tree we've declared : ............ /guide/introduction/starting/Outline/ ... How can we make this url, less environment dependend? Tom.

I want to variablize the size parameter as I have done below <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP">  </TD> <TD VALIGN="TOP">  </TD> </TR> It seems however that I get the error "a size attribute was used in a var tag with a non-integer value.". So it appears to me that this can't be done. Is that so?

Hello Zope Fans: Things are continuing at a breakneck pace in Zopeland as usual. Zope is getting more press these days. And what with Linux Expo being a success, press activity will probably increase. The main things that happened this week were Linux Expo and people getting a chance to try out Zope 2 alpha 1. (Note: since I didn't get around to writing a Zope Weekly News last week, this one covers some material from last week.) * Zope got some media attention this week to go along with the Linux Expo hoopla. There is a collection of media links at the Zope site. http://www.zope.org/Information/Media * Lots of information on Zope including articles and software is also available at the Open Directory Project. The editors of the Zope section are clearly on top of things. http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Application/Zope/ * Zope appeared on the cover of a German magazine, Linux Magazin. It includes an article by Tom Riedl entitled "Zope:(Z)open Zource Zoftware". http://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe.1999.06/Zope/zope.html * An article on Zope entitled "No-cost software can bring unexpected dividends" appeared in the Washington Business Journal. http://www.amcity.com/washington/stories/1999/05/24/focus4.html * Paul Everitt's talk on Zope from WWW8 entitled "Funding the Perfect Beast: Open Source, Business, and Venture Capitalism" is now on-line. http://www.digicool.com/Library/FTPB/index.html * Toby Dickerson announced a NTUserFolder Product to allow Zope to use NT accounts for authentication. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004663.html * Alexander Staubo announced a method for running ZServer is a service under NT. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004644.html * Amos Latteier announced an unsupported COM Product for Zope. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-May/000435.html http://www.zope.org/Download/Prereleases/COMObject * Chris Petrilli announced a LDAP Methods proposal and asked for comments. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-May/000432.html http://www.zope.org/Projects/ZLDAPMethods/ZLDAPMethods.pdf * Rob Page announced a Zope training session, and a week later announced that it had filled up. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004415.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004672.html * There were several threads about ZODB 3, its features and its limitations. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004616.html * An interesting thread sees Ryan Daum and Paul Everitt discussing reasons to choose or not choose Zope for a web development project. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004713.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-May/004715.html * The ZDP is seeing lots of action these days. The ZDP site has seen some changes of late, many different people are toying with the idea of writing a Zope book, Tom Deprez is working on a major piece on Zope, Amos Latteier posted a proposal for a Zope Developer's Guide, and more! http://zdp.zope.org/ http://zdp.zope.org/guide/ http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zdp/1999-May/000329.html Till next week, keep on Zoping. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
