Problem setting security on a DTML Method
by Kevin Dangoor 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

Hi, Using Zope 1.10.2 on Win95, I was trying to set permissions on a DTML Method. I was trying to set everything except "View" to the Acquired permissions. View was turned on only for "Manager" and "Editor". When I click the change button after setting things as I just described, I get the following Traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File C:\Program Files\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File C:\Program Files\WebSite\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /beta/incoming/edit/manage_changePermissions) File C:\Program Files\WebSite\lib\python\AccessControl\Role.py, line 194, in manage_changePermissions (Object: edit) File C:\Program Files\WebSite\lib\python\AccessControl\Permission.py, line 166, in setRoles AttributeError: manage_addProperty If I'm not doing something foolish here, I'll submit this to the Collector. Thanks! Kevin -- Kevin Dangoor kid(a)ans.net / 734-214-7349

Zopists, Zope-hackers, Zopineers and Zopistas, The ZDP is pleased to announce the creation of the zdp.zope.org website. Thanks to Brian Brown of BW Group for generously providing Zope space for the ZDP! Also thank you to the wonderful people at Digital Creations for their support. So go ahead and visit us at: http://zdp.zope.org Please note that zdp.zope.org is very much a work in progress, and so is the Zope FAQ (currently at revision 0.2.1). Still, we've come a long way in barely two weeks time! The FAQ appears to be already useful to some people, which is very good to know. The ZDP and the Zope FAQ eagerly await your contributions, by the way. So run and join the ZDP mailing list! My apologies to the people who may have heard this before. :) Regards, Martijn

Letting everyone view contents of a newly built site
by raver＠box.dust.za.net 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

Hi! Just made a small test-site, and followed the Zope magager guide to how to let anyone view my newly made site, but thisg doesn't work. The doc say that by default everyone should have access to view the contents of a site made by zope, but here the authorization/authentication dialogue pops up whenever someone try to access the site. Cancelling username/passwd just ends in failure. Why ? I'm using apache as webserver for zope and has made it so that apache handles the authentication bit, but still - shouldn't it let 'anonymous' trough? I've had a look at the security settings for both folders and files and they all let 'anonymous view'. Whats wrong? Sture

Perhaps DC can clarify? External Methods are (to the best of my knowledge) evaluated and their compiled code is kept in process memory (effectively cached) the first time the object (the External Method object pointing to a particular module/method) is activated. It is removed from process memory when the object is de-activated. This is kindof a tricky process and may be effectively cleaned up in the near future so I won't go into too many details here. An important thing to keep in mind is (again, this may change soon) that the compiled code is kept locally in each External Method Object. If you have two EM's in Zope pointing to the same code, you have to use the "Edit" button on _both_ External Method objects to effectively reload it. .jPS | jeffrey(a)digicool.com zope, through the web. www.zope.org

non-External Methods
by Oleg Broytmann 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

Hello! In ExternalMethods.html I found: "ernal Methods operate just like normal methods". But what are "normal" methods? The only thing I know is DTML Scripts. Are there other? Could I put Python code into Object Database? Should I? Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann National Research Surgery Centre http://sun.med.ru/~phd/ Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

pretty printable pages at zope.org
by Jeffrey P Shell 11 Mar '99

We now have sortof-pretty printable pages at Zope.org :). At the bottom of every page with the standard header/footer is a link "Printable Page" which links to the same page being viewed, but passes a value to standard_html_header/footer that is used to _not_ render the surround Zope layout (sidebar, navigation bar). For example, http://www.zope.org/Information/Zen/HTMLMethods?pp=1 .jPS | jeffrey(a)digicool.com zope, through the web. www.zope.org

You need press the 'edit' button for an external method in Zope > each time you changed something in it and want it updated. This would > imply Python code can indeed be part of the Object database, right? Pressing the 'edit' button "reloads" that particular External Method code into the system. It's not stored in the database at all - the External Method object you add/edit through the Zope management screens is primarily a pointer/wrapper to a method in a module in the Extensions directory. The Edit button in essence acts similar to the reload(module) function in Python. Basically, Zope (and Python) don't have a way of knowing the code in a module has changed unless it's explicitly reloaded, which is a good thing. .jPS | jeffrey(a)digicool.com zope, through the web. www.zope.org

Re: [Zope] Access to DTML Document properties

Thanks for a very fast reply, however it doesn't work. I'm still getting: Error value: 'string' object has no attribute 'title'. This is what I'm trying to do: A DTML document (index_html) has a property art1 which has an ID for another DTML document as value (type: string). In index_html I use:  which renders the article. I can of course use  in the actual article, but I rather don't. So I'm still banging my head in the wall after hours of trying to accomplish this. Can it be a bug with DTML documents??
