Hi Paul, >We are focusing on Linux Expo (May 18-22, www.linuxexpo.org) as a focus >point for us where a number of things are going to come together: >1) I'll be giving a speech on the business track about Open Source and >Venture Capital. I'm thrilled to see you promoting ZOPE. If you havn't seen the May issue of WIRED you should check it out. There are three articles of interest: 1) "Open Season - - why an industry of cutthroat competition is suddenly deciding good karma is great business --" Has graph that shows the ONLY OS gaining market share is Linux. ('97 to '98). Another shows Apache moving from 45% to 54% Jan 98 to Jan 99. And more interesting a 25 person Lan: Microsoft vs Linux including support: $21,453 vs $5,544 2) "Tour de Source -- A guide to the Start-ups" 22 Open Source companies listed in table Alas, Digital Creations is not listed :-) Four companies with only 10 employees are listed. How big is Digital Creations now? 3) "Free Enterprise -- An open source success story--" Good story of Cobalt a company that sells Linux servers: Cube, RaQ, CacheQube etc... Hey, I could see ZOPE being bundled in a Cobalt box either directly or perhaps more quickly as a VAR product. >2) We are working with a professional PR firm (read: expensive) to >coordinate a branding overhaul and PR push. We are positioning Zope as >an application server focusing on community portals. The >under-discussion brand of the company is "unleashing potential", which >is based on Open Source, community portal, safely delegating control, >and through-the-web everything. The PR firm will cultivate opinion >makers in advance, schedule one-on-one interviews, and make appropriate >press releases. Even though the PR firm is expensive, I hope they are good, i mean, GREAT ! Hopefully they are into the web and the computer industry and can get coverage with some of the previously mentioned contacts in infoworld, linuxworld, wired etc.... >4) We are coordinating some software efforts to coincide with the show. >For instance, beta1 of Zope2 will be ready by then, knock on wood. >Also, some efforts to fill out our portal story (such as Membership, >Catalog, etc.) will land. I'd love to hear more information about the community portal idea. I know of a few organizations that would benefit from their own portals. Anyone doing this yet? -- even alpha or beta? >As part of the PR push we need some of you out there to ride the wave >with us and give us some case studies. This is both crucial for Zope >and a great benefit to you! Yes, I hope to have a Case study for you. Currently I'm testing zope "on the internet" and not just my LAN with a Zope host: (Thanks Scott Robertson) http://www.codeit.com My site for now is at http://rocnet.codeit.com -bobo connor bob(a)rocnet.com

Hello I had the same error with this code, so I got rid of the path stuff and pass directly the document id: def view_source(self,id): doc=getattr(self,id) return doc.read_raw() At least it works for me.If someone has a better solution, please post it...

Hi Gilles: > I want to make prints of my document/method DTML code(the > edit textarea is > to small), how can I get it from inside DTML? Strange I _just_ answered this for a customer! Here you go: This is implemented as a Python External Method. I've pasted the source code below: Python source --> import string Python source --> Python source --> def view_source(self,path): Python source --> "view the source of a Document" Python source --> id=string.split(path,"/")[-1] Python source --> if not id: id="index_html" Python source --> if not id in self.documentIds(): Python source --> id="index_html" Python source --> doc=getattr(self,id) Python source --> return doc.read_raw() Python source --> return id This gets called from a dtml_source document whose contents (strangely enough!) can be seen at: http://www.zope.org/dtml_source?path=/dtml_source [Man, I think that's cool!!!] Then, on any document you can use something like: http://www.zope.org/dtml_source?path=/ --Rob Page

Re: [Zope] How do I replace the top level acl_users folder.
by Service Informatique CHSR 08 Apr '99

08 Apr '99

>I am trying to use the UserDB package for authroization via ODBC, however >the management screen won't let me delete the top level acl_users folder. You can't! I had the same problem. What I had to do is: - create the Roles in the toplevel folder, - create the users database connection in the top level folder - create a UserDB in *all* subfolders of the top level folder, that use the toplevel database. - and put only anonymous stuff in the top level folder. If someone has a better approach, I am interested.

Has anyone tried authentication accross multiple servers?
by Jay, Dylan 08 Apr '99

08 Apr '99

I need this for a website I'm setting up so that users can download from several different locations around the world. I don't want users to have to type in their password twice. I presume there is no way to do this via basic authentication which leaves cookies. Has anyone tried this?
