Hi digicool, I'm wondering, why don't you already change your logo at www.zope.org into the new logo (seen in Zope 1.11).... it's more attractive... and fancier... just a thought... :-) Tom.

Yes, you have to edit the FTP module and configure the IP-Adress. -- I'm busily ignoring some thousand of implications I have determined to be irrelevant.

My going off and getting a comp.*.zope accepted would be a useless waste of time (or worse - some sort of information pollution) unless the Zope masters (likely starting with someone from Digital Creations, such as Paul Everitt, Michel Pelletier, Jim Fulton, Brian Lloyd, Rob Page or Ken Manheimer, based on how often I see their names in my email archive) backs this, and a Zope community concensus forms to motivate the shift from the email list to the news group for most activity. Otherwise, I'm just pissing in the wind. (And not "comp.sys.zope", I hope. "comp.sys" seems to be for computer system (sw+hw) vendors, not web server software). ======================================================================= I won't rest till it's the best ...

I would *not* be suprised. I think it's a bug in the FTP module. If you configure a IP-Adress, it's not known by the FTP module. You have to configure it in the FTP module, too.

I tried doing this. I replaced the top level acl_users with a UserDB that used cookie authentication. Now I can't get into the site at all. Everytime I try to manage or just view the site I get a basic authentication dialog. If I login using either a super-user password or a manager account, nothing is accepted. This is a serious problem. Can anyone help me reverse or fix the problem.

Could we migrate Zope email to a news group?
by pj＠sam.engr.sgi.com 06 May '99

06 May '99

The volume and variety of email on the Zope email lists would be better managed, I think, in a news group. Advantages: This would make it more visible in DejaNews, where some more folks would find us that otherwise wouldn't be as likely to stumble on, browse and learn from our old threads. It would be less disruptive for folks, like myself, who have their email setup to interrupt their work, but who turn to news only when ready for a break. My news reader is a better tool than my mailer for dealing with the selection and following of multiple long threads. How about creating some such news group as: comp.internet.zope comp.networks.zope comp.infosystems.www.servers.zope ?? and after it is a voted on and approved, pushing this email list (and the dev list) to news? ======================================================================= I won't rest till it's the best ...

Moving a Folder into another Folder
by Kevin Dangoor 06 May '99

06 May '99

I'm trying to use DTML to move a Folder from within one Folder to another Folder. I have tried a bunch of permutations of manage_cutObjects and manage_pasteObjects and can't seem to make any of them work. (The errors usually make it appear that the pasteObjects method can't find anything on the clipboard.) I haven't tried using an External Method, but I'm assuming this is possible to do via DTML. Any tips on the syntax here? Specifically, I am trying to move a Folder with an ID that is an integer (the time) from /incoming to /Year/Month. I'm anticipating that I'll be able to eliminate this when the Catalog comes along. Thanks in advance, Kevin
