- IIS Authentication!
by Phil Harris 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

Hi all, My first posting to the list so be patient 8^). I set up the server as specified in the docs, but when I do this I get an error message as follows:- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- HTTP Error 401 401.5 Unauthorized: Authorization failed by ISAPI/CGI app This error indicates that the address on the Web server you attemped to use has an ISAPI or CGI program installed that verifies user credentials before proceeding. The authentication used to connect to the server was denied access by this program. Please make a note of the entire address you were trying to access and then contact the Web server's administrator to verify that you have permission to access the requested resource. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- So I turned on the basic-authentication and was able to log in as the user specified in the 'access' file. Great! I have now created a new user 'test1' with password 'test1' but am unable to login as this user, it just will not validate. I must be doing something wrong 8^(. Any ideas. TIA Phil wmlph(a)d032.ml.uwcm.ac.uk

- Threads?
by Kiss, Arpad 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

Hi, I have a time consuming functionality(building a dial-up connection) that blocks the Zope server. May I use threads in the Zope framework or is there any other way to workaround this? I have to wait until it returns some messages, because I want pass them to the enduser. Arpad ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Kiss Árpád akiss(a)geometria.hu ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

No, beyond my gut feelings about how long a filesystem "find" of 179 files should take. I thought that perhaps by stuffing large data files into the zbase, I am using the machinery inefficiently. Thanks also for the comments on the file-less method product. I see someone else asked about it too. I'll put that aside for now. The other problem I'm having is how to filter the search results based on user permissions. My best guess, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, is: if (REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.allowed(ob,ob.aq_acquire('__roles__'))) but I don't see roles getting acquired like I would expect. Any light on *this* subject would be most helpful! Regards, -Simon def Find(self, obj, obj_searchterm=None, obj_days=0, search_sub=0, REQUEST=None, result=None, pre=''): """find function, based on PrincipiaFind""" if result is None: result=[] try: obj_days = int(obj_days) except: obj_days = 0 base=obj if hasattr(obj, 'aq_base'): base=obj.aq_base if not hasattr(base, 'objectItems'): return result try: items=base.objectItems() except: return result try: add_result=result.append except: raise AttributeError, `result` for id, ob in items: if pre: p="%s/%s" % (pre, id) else: p=id dflag=0 if hasattr(ob, '_p_changed') and (ob._p_changed == None): dflag=1 if hasattr(ob, 'aq_base'): bs=ob.aq_base if ( # it's a file, (hasattr(bs, 'meta_type') and bs.meta_type == 'File') and # we have access, # see if we have permission to access this object # do I know what I'm doing (REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.allowed(ob,ob.aq_acquire('__roles__'))) and # the text matches, (not obj_searchterm or find(lower(absattr(bs.id)), lower(obj_searchterm)) >= 0 or find(lower(absattr(bs.title)), lower(obj_searchterm)) >= 0) and # and the age matches (not obj_days or (hasattr(ob, '_p_mtime') and ((DateTime().earliestTime() - DateTime(ob._p_mtime).earliestTime()) < obj_days))) ): add_result((p, ob)) # then add it to the results dflag=0 if search_sub and hasattr(bs, 'objectItems'): Find(self, ob, obj_searchterm, obj_days, search_sub, REQUEST, result, p) if dflag: ob._p_deactivate() return result

- Using tree as a show/hide section within a document
by Brad Clements 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

Given a document with several sections (say 4), each section can be very long. I'd like the user to have the option of "expanding" a section, or keeping it "compressed" within the document. It looks like  would be able to do this if I could provide a suitable branches and leaves function. What I'd like is a document that looks like this: Header info always the same + Click to see detailed part A + Click to see detailed part B + Click to see detailed part C A user could have clicked on section B, so then they'd see + Click to see detailed part A - Click to hide detailed part B Here are the details in part B ... + Click to see detailed part C The tree elements would need to be in a document. It would be nice if it didn't need real leaf elements, but I could put parts a,b and c in other documents within the folder that holds the main document. Anyone have any suggestions how I could do this? How is "expr" used within #tree ? I couldn't find any mention of it in the source..

- ANNOUNCE: ZSybaseDA
by Brian Hooper 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

Hi everyone, ZSybaseDA (v. 0.9) is now available for download from the contrib area of the Zope site. It is basically just a tweaking of ZMySQLDA to work with ctsybasemodule. http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib/ZSybaseDA.tar.gz Right now it doesn't have full support for all data types - I will be working to improve this so it can be more useful. Hope this is useful for someone! --Brian Hooper

As something of a newbie lurker on the list... I was wondering on the Zope-Medusa consolidation project... They've got different liscencing requirements... will this change the requirements on either? Or will they be bundled together but liscenced seperately?

- Zope Example Formatting Field data indirectly via a TinyTable
by Brad Clements 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Here's an example I thought you all might be interested in. Note that this is supposed to be Structured Text, however when trying to view it as such Zope reports an error with 'identifier' (seems it sees _['identifier'] for evaluation even though it's in "example code") Also, when I try to upload this, the upload process dies on the first  in the text. Btw, I don't know anything about python, very little about html and I've spent only about four days setting up Zope on my web site, most of that time was lurking in this list and being a pest. ;-) Anyway, here's the report. * Formatting Record Fields Indirectly Using TinyTable Data * While constructing my Zope based web site, I encountered an annoying problem displaying record field data. The problem: there are many record fields, I'm not sure what order I want to list them in, and I'm not sure how I want to format the fields. If I immediately began constructing an html table, it would take a lot of effort to re-arrange the table format or change the attributes. I devised a neat scheme to dynamically format the record data using a TinyTable that contains the names of each field variable, description and formatting information. I use two  dhtml commands, the first selects the desired record from my database, and the second selects formatting data from the TinyTable. This method allows me to arrange the data fields along columns or rows, or without even using a table at all. In my case, I chose to display record data in a table, where each field is in it's own row. The table output looks like this:: Owner's Name | Village Of Potsdam Address | Box 5168 | Potsdam, Ny 13676 Phone | 315-265-7480 Manager's Name | Brad Clements Address | Box 5168 | Potsdam, Ny 13676 Phone | 315-268-1000x11 Email Address | bkc(a)murkworks.com Airport Web Site | www.air.gen.ny.us The format of the TinyTable follows:: Id: AirportInfoFormatTable Title: Used to format AirportInfo display Columns: dbvar description format rowspan color Delimiter: : Data: OWN_NAME:Owner's Name:capwords::EvenColor OWN_ADD:Address:capwords:2:OddColor OWN_CSZ::capwords::OddColor OWN_PHN:Phone:asis::EvenColor MGR_NAME:Manager's Name:capwords::OddColor MGR_ADD:Address:capwords:2:EvenColor MGR_CSZ::capwords::EvenColor MGR_PHN:Phone:asis::OddColor MAILTO:Email Address:mailto::EvenColor URL:Airport Web Site:url::OddColor The TinyTable "AirportInfoFormatTable" defines the following columns dbvar -- The field name in the master database description -- Descriptive text format -- Controls how the master data is formatted rowspan -- Causes the description to span rows color -- Specifies the html class for each row A ZSQL Method is used to retrieve data from the master database using a select call through a ZODBC database connection. In the example code that follows, 'getall=1' is used to signal the ZSQL Method 'AirportLookup' to return all fields (i.e., select *). In the DHTML document code that follows, note the use of the _['name'] dhtml construct. This is replaced with the contents of the variable called 'name', however we're using _[dbvar]. Dbvar is a variable from our TinyTable, which contains each of the field names in turn, such as OWN_NAME. So _[dbvar] is replaced with the contents of the variable OWN_NAME when dbvar equals OWN_NAME. This is an indirect lookup of the field contents. Also, in the following example text, size=1 is used to retrieve only the first record from the ZSQL method. In my case, I only want the first record. Also, if the master data field is blank, we don't list it in the output table::   <table width=80% border=0>    <td rowspan= class= ><b></b></td>  <td align=left>    <A href="http://"> </a>  <A href="mailto:"></a>    </td> </tr>   </table>     Brad Clements, bkc(a)murkworks.com (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax netmeeting: ils://ils.murkworks.com ICQ: 14856937 We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice. - Richard Henry Dana, Jr. 1836
