New patch MailHost.py part deux
by Martijn Pieters 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

I updated the patch for MailHost.py (see my earlier mail), to fix to more problems: - Single dots on a line in the message body are now escaped (so they won't prematurely end the transmission). - The body is now quoted-printable. This _should_ solve any problems your SMTP host might have with the MailHost output. And you can find the patches on: http://www.xs4all.nl/~zmj/Zope/MailHost.1.9.0.patch or http://www.xs4all.nl/~zmj/Zope/MailHost.1.10.0pr1.patch Depending on your Zope version. -- M.J.

Hi Arpad, All How is it possible to give a value to a folder property with DTML tag? Thanks for your help, FR.

Just to let you know, the threading problem that was exhibited in previous releases is STILL in the 1.10 release (atl east on FreeBSD 3.0)... the old patch still works it seems :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli | petrilli(a)amber.org

Mailhost fix
by Martijn Pieters 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

I know the Mailhost is on the buglist, and that DC wants to fix it using a standard package. But if you really need to use it, and your sendmail host doesn't accept the mail that MailHost generates (because of the lack of \r\n line endings, and the ignorance of 4xx status codes), I patched the existing MailHost.py. My version uses \015\12 as lineendings, so it won't break on any platform (I hope), and sees 4xx errors as fatal. The patch can be downloaded from http://www.xs4all.nl/~zmj/Zope/MailHost.1.9.0.patch or http://www.xs4all.nl/~zmj/Zope/MailHost.1.10.0pr1.patch (1.9.0 contains the old license, so the line numbers differ) Just do 'patch MailHost.py MailHost.<version>.patch'.

Re: DTML Doc property from DTML Method in tag
by Martijn Pieters 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

As I don't trust the eGroups interface as far as I can throw it, here is my message again: Kevin, this is what you want to do:  <P>  </P>  _.getitem() retrieves an item from the namespace, given the id of the item. Just _.getitem(sequence-item, 0) won't do, because it is interpreted as sequence - item, so you have to use the _['sequence-item'] construct. Within the with tag you are then within the namespace of the requested object, so  gives you the right title. You might want to use _.has_key(_['sequence-item']) first, to check wether the object actually exists.. _.getitem() has a second argument BTW, a flag that specifies wether or not the retrieved object should be 'called'. I think that in this context it should be 0, i.e. don't call the object. I assume it otherwise retrieves the default representation of the item, like a folder's index_html, which you don't want to do probably. I haven't experimented with this flag as yet.

Re: UserDB: docLogout, LoginRequired traceback.

> From: Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> > Now, in the top/ folder, I've created both admin and user roles, and > I've put a UserDb in it. I initially wanted to have the UserDb in only > the user/ folder, with the assumption that acquiring objects from the > top/ folder would "just work" without defining the users in the > top/ folder... This didn't work (no idea why, anyone?). Yep. A UserDB folder has to be at least an 'uncle/aunt' of any folders which plan on using it because the sibling folder behavior of Acquisition would allow one to bypass security otherwise (at least that's my take on the situation). > I would still like to also have a separate User Folder in the admin > directory, since administrative accounts are not stored in the SQL > database used by users. But no matter what I do, I always get prompted > with the docLogin screen from the top/ UserDb. You might create UserDB folder one folder up and only allow the admin accounts in that acl_user's folder. UserDB sql queries usually make that pretty easy to do. Kent

my further playing with UserDb...
by Anthony Baxter 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

Ok, some more discoveries, that really should have been obvious to me: if you want a UserDb to work, it's got to be in a folder where Anonymous can view stuff, and execute SQL methods. Is there a list of what the different security settings allow? What's the difference between 'View' and 'Access Contents Information'? What is needed to allow someone access to a subfolder, but not to the top folder? Anthony

Mutliple Choice Exam DTML script
by Pavlos Christoforou 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

Zopistas A couple of fellow zopistas have asked me to send them my simple multiple choice exam script. I think it will be easier if I upload it on the contrib section of the Zope site. I will add some comments and upload it tomorrow. Happy Zopping Pavlos
