top level acl_users and AUTHENTICATED_USER
by reedstrm＠wallace.ece.rice.edu 17 May '99

Hi all - I've got a couple problems (so, what's new? ;-) First, how do I test against the value of the AUTHENTICATED_USER? I'm creating files and folders through a DTML interface, and taging them with a property set to the result of REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER') as a 'string' (see my previous emails about REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] not working directly) Now, I want to retrieve that property, and test it againt the current AUTHENTICATED_USER, so if they are the same, I offer rename and delete functions. The following DOESN'T work, although the string representation of both addedby and REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER') look the same when rendered farther down:  <tr> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="16">  <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="ids:list" VALUE="">  </TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <A HREF=""> <IMG SRC="/NSBRI/misc_/OFSP/File_icon.gif" ALT="[File]" BORDER="0"></A> </TD> <td class="smallclean"><a href=""></a></td> <td class="smallclean"> bytes</td> <td class="smallclean"></td> <td align="center" class="smallclean"> </td> </tr>  Second problem: I deleted the top level acl_users folder, replaced it with UserDb, then moved my UserDb into a sub folder, so I recreated a 'standard' User Folder at the root, but now I can't authenticate against an users I create in there. Is there a bug with adding a User Folder at the top level? this is all with 1.11.0pr1 on Win32 Thanks, Ross -- Ross J.

RE: [Zope] Zope under Linux -- duh?

And with 1.5.1 I still get the thread module error: tradecenter:/usr/local/zope# Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/zope/ZServer/start.py", line 94, in ? from HTTPServer import zhttp_server, zhttp_handler File "/usr/local/zope/ZServer/HTTPServer.py", line 111, in ? tradecenter:/usr/local/zope# import thread ImportError: No module named thread Possibly because my Linux installation doesn't have a thread.h. I don't know Linux well enough to say if this is correct. Afaik, the machine is running glibc 1.x (libc5), not 2.x, and the Python installation info speaks of thread support in glibc 2.x. I don't know.

Hi! I want to provide a link in a html-page that deletes a certain Object. My idea was something like: <a href="Houses/manage_delObjects([])">delete House</a> but the syntax doesn´t seem to be correct. Any ideas? Bye Alex

Mimic HelpSys
by Tom Deprez 17 May '99

17 May '99

Hi, I was trying to mimic the tree which you can see when you open the HelpSys. I would like to use it for our "ZBook" at ZDP. However I can't find the source of this, so I try to make it myself, but I've some problems, maybe someone can give me a hand? Ok. We've a folder 'Introduction', with sub folders 'zig_main', 'zig_menu' and 'Outline'. Then index_html of 'introduction' contains a frame page to 'zig_main' and 'zig_menu'. In Outline, I've put several subfolders with subfolders each containing a chapter of the book. What I want to do now is this : In subfolder 'zig_menu', create a tree from the contents of 'Outline'. This that all subfolders and documents titles are displayed. When clicking on a link in the tree the document the document is displayed in the main frame. I've already problems of creating the tree in zig_menu! :-(   doesn't work... And how do I get all the subfolders and documents in a tree? Can someone help? Tom.

LinuxPPC binaries?
by Sean Moran 17 May '99

17 May '99

Hello. I am interested in using (learning!) zope on a LinuxPPC system. Does anyone out there have a binary already compiled? Better yet, can someone give me some basic directions on how to do this so I can learn myself? Thanks, Sean Moran

Zope does not support my timezone, at least in 1.10. How would I go about adding a new timezone? -- Itamar - itamars(a)ibm.net

If your counter is incrimented on each page access, then your object database will grow on each hit. Because the object database stores revisions of objects, each new inciment of the property will append a new revision on the ned of the database. For a million hit per day website, this means a million new objects will be added to the database. Definately performance prohibitive. If you want to make a Counter product, I would suggest writing part of it in python, and making the actual hit count a volitle object. This would require some caching logic (to preserve the hit count across system resets) and some other magic. I believe someone a month or so ago someone allready jumped through most of these hoops. I would suggest either using/modifing their code or working from it to write your own. -Michel > 1. > >  >  >  >  > > 2. > >  >  >  >  > > And what do I've to place in the DTML method 'increment'.... > > Please, can somebody help me? > > Tom. > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 ) >

Tree in QuickStart
by Tom Deprez 17 May '99

17 May '99

Hi, Can somebody explain me the different parts (and how they work) of the Tree setup in the QuickStart? I don't understand a lot from it... it uses also some things like objectValues(['Folder'])... etc. where can I find information of these and others? I can't find them in the DTML user guide. Tom.
