- difference between AUTHENTICATED_USER and REMOTE_USER
by Brian Hooper 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Hi there - I was wondering, what's the difference between the DTML variables AUTHENTICATED_USER (defined by Zope) and REMOTE_USER (listed in the DTML guide as a CGI-defined request variable. If AUTHENTICATED_USER is defined in a given page, it seems like REMOTE_USER should also be defined - however, when I do something like    REQUEST contains a lot of stuff but not REMOTE_USER. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of this variable? (the reason I want to do this is, I want to use the name of the remote user as a parameter for a database access; there must be a good way to do this) --Brian

Hi all, >> On another list, they hack the messages in such a way that when >> you reply to the sender, it gets to the list, not the sender. I don't know >> how they do it, but it works. Maybe you could do something similar >> for zope(a)zope.org ? >Not a good idea. Sometimes I rather want to reply to the person. >Additionally, the double message allows for faster discussions: People >activly discussing are getting the mails directly of their thread, which >is faster than via the mailing list. (Actually for Zope it probably >matters less, but more heavy lists can be slow to resend mail :( ) > >Andreas Ok, but what about this: if the mailing list server get a message for xxx(a)wherever.com and zope(a)zope.org, and if xxx(a)wherever.com is a member of the list, it does not send the message twice, as xxx has already got the message. BTW, it is not very important, but it could help Regards, Jephte CLAIN Service Informatique CHSR

- Arbitrary length/named parameters
by Sharon Lippey 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

I have a dtml form with an arbitrary number of input fields with names which cannot be known in advance, calling a python method. (e.g serverName/cgi-bin/pythonMethod?name1=var1&name2=var2...) Python supports the sending of arbitrary, named variables to a function using functionName(**listOfKeywordValuePairs) but this will not work from Zope, I assume because the python syntax requires that the list must be sent to the function as the last parameter. Can anyone tell me whether this is the problem, and if so, how to specify that the parameters are to be sent last? The other possible solution is to send python a single sequence with a known name (I suppose defined in the dtml namespace) and send this to python containing keyword/value pairs. (e.g serverName/cgi-bin/pythonMethod?inputs = [name1:value1,..] Can anyone tell me how to instruct an html form to add its input elements to an array/sequence? Thanks, Sharon

There is a web archive of the list at http://www.egroups.com/list/zope, and egroups will let you subscribe in digest mode. I'd be interested to hear if it works for you. -Simon

- Uploading...
by Magnus Lie Hetland 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

I tried the "upload" tag while adding a document -- that didn't work very well... All the text I had uploaded suddenly disappeared. Then I tried to browse for an added document -- that didn't work either. I got the text, but it wouldn't display when viewing the server as an anonymous user. Then I tried to shut down netscape an go there again, and suddenly I'm required to give a password... I shut down the server and started it again, but the same thing happened. (Maybe that has something to do with my proxying...) Anyway -- has anyone else experienced this sort of unstable behaviour with uploading files? -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia(a)pvv.org>

- String matching...
by Magnus Lie Hetland 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

I have tried under several circumstances to test for the identity of the current page/directory by checking if title_or_id is equal to some string, and it never is... Am I doing something wrong? Even when  seems to return exactly the string I'm comparing with, it still isn't true... -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia(a)pvv.org>

- Where do I put source code files???
by katz＠wam.umd.edu 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

(I posted this in c.l.p half a week ago; I haven't seen it appear on my news server so I think it didn't make it) Hello, In trying to write a Zope Product-conformant management program, I've been reading as much as possible on the Zope object publisher and repository. Every Zope example I've seen (off of Zope.org's documents and contributed software) lacks any insight on WHERE to put my source files. For example: the Trinkets Tutorial API doesn't mention how I should have the Z ORB set up; I read of a http://domainname:8081/projects/users/username/cgi-bin/example.cgi but I don't understand if example.cgi should be under the Principia object heirarchy or under the actual filesystem. Wouldn't I have to 'import Globals; import Acquisition; ...' within the example's source code in order to access the Zope ORB? (incidentally, when I install and run an external method, I don't have to import anything -- Zope is in my namespace). What is the name of the daemon that fields orb requests over the web (serve.sh?). Should I be able to import Acquisition, etc., from a normal python prompt? (my installation of Python doesn't find it. I've Red Hat 5.2, Python 1.5.1 and Zope 1.9 built from source). My project includes dtml files, icons, and source files. If I write it as a Product, how can I make it so that someone needs only to access a .cgi on my home page to be able to access it? Do all these files go under lib/python/Products/<project-name>? if so, what about the files I create in the Principia management screen? why aren't those objects on the file system too? Does there exist any way to export them from the database to disk so that I can distribute my package easily? (the Principia Manger's Guide mentions backing up source code and support -- not objects that have since been installed in the object heirarchy by the program.) I can find manuals on Zope technical definitions, dtml scripting, etc. ad nauseum, yet I can't find any simple explanation on where my files go. I've searched in dejanews, the FAQ, and all the manuals on zope.org. Perhaps someone has a page on starship that deals with this? Thanks, Roey Katz katz(a)wam.umd.edu
