- Importing images from subfolders in lowerfolders fails
by Brad Clements 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

I have a folder heirarchy like this / Air Links index_html I have an image in /Air called PlaneImage In /Air/Links/index_html I have  The resulting output HTML is <IMG SRC="PlaneImage" ALT="Small Airplane Image"> However, since PlaneImage is defined in /Air, shouldn't this really be <IMG SRC="Air/PlaneImage" ALT="Small Airplane Image"> I'm wondering if I'm using the #var wrong, or if this is a "bug". I'll have to hand-code all of my images if I can't get this to work. What is the var for "path to myself", is in, in index_html above I want to get "Air/Links" as the path, and "index_html" as the document name. To work around this problem, I've defined a property in /Air called "baseref" and set it to http://myhost.com:9673/Air" Then all of my URLS are constructed using , but it's rather labor intensive..

Hello, as far as i understand, only one process is created with pcgi. What if 2 clients send 2 queries simultaneously? Does one client wait until the other complete the request? how does it work? Thanks CLAIN Jephte Service Informatique CHSR ps: my apologies for my broken english, i'm a bit tired this morning.

- Problems adding documents
by Timothy Grant 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Hi, I want to piggy back on my last message about not being able to upload documents using the upload tab. I have been attempting to Add a new document and I get the same error wheter I click on Add, or Add and Edit. The error I receive is: Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 1544) Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb\ZopeHTTPServer\ZopeHTTPServer.py", line 4 19, in handle_request self.process_request(request, client_address) File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb/lib/python1.5\SocketServer.py", line 239, in process_request self.finish_request(request, client_address) File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb/lib/python1.5\SocketServer.py", line 243, in finish_request self.RequestHandlerClass(request, client_address, self) File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb/lib/python1.5\SocketServer.py", line 362, in __init__ self.handle() File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb/lib/python1.5\BaseHTTPServer.py", line 25 8, in handle method() File "C:\DevTools\Python\zope\ATGWeb\ZopeHTTPServer\ZopeHTTPServer.py", line 3 22, in do_POST if string.find(self.headers.getheader('content-type'), TypeError: argument 1: expected read-only buffer, None found The really interesting thing is, I can add folders, products and external methods with no problem. I've added and worked with Tiny Tables GuestBooks and FSImport. All working great, I just can't get the very basics to work. Most frustrating. I'm running with ZopeHTTPServer on a Win95 box.

- A review of discussion board software to help Zopespot
by Paulo Eduardo Neves 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

This is link to a very good and fresh review of discussion board software in ZDNet. It thumbs down for all existing software. I believe it can help people in Zopespot. At least can give some tips to do it right. http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,381684,00.html regards, -- Paulo Eduardo Neves PUC-Rio de Janeiro Pager: Central: 292-4499 cod. 213 99 64 ou use a URL: http://www.learn.fplf.org.br/neves/mensagempager.html

- Other access control paradigms?
by BScherer＠mobile.bam.com 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Having discussed this with Paul a long time ago in the Principia days, I believe this to be possible, but am unsure of where to start. The idea is this: I would like to maintain my user information (uid, passwd, and access info) in an rdbms table. This would enable us to leverage a database that already exits for this purpose. I have several bobo apps I would like to move into Zope, but I would need to overide (or integrate) Zope's internal security with mine. Reason being is that we don't want to move several thousand user's into Zope's user db, and we don't want to train the staff on a new interface/paradigm. I could change the backend of my security scheme without too much trouble. I don't want to have to change the frontend. Could this be as simple as an External Method? Or do I have to hit the Product API, or replace the entire AccessControl package? Thanks Bill Scherer Bell Atlantic Mobile

[ Discussion about using suid to allow Zope to run on port 80 ] > But I don't know how I can hand over a socket like > that... Especially not how Zope would handle it... Any ideas? My first response: Does Zope need to run on port 80 at your site? If you can run it on a port >1024, you will have a much smaller security hole. Regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.

(Or you can > think of it as Slashdot with a category hierarchy.) We have a couple of consulting gigs in the hopper that hilight common threads through different community sites. If we can do a good job of capturing the requirements, then documenting the interfaces for managed content, then the project can be used pretty widely.

- FYI: Addition to roadmap -- Zope Classes
by Paul Everitt 19 Jan '99

19 Jan '99

Oops, I forgot a pretty important one: Zope Classes out to see the light of day in the next two months. Zope Classes allow you to build a collection of Zope objects that are the constructors for new objects. Users will see a new item that they can add to their folders, but the "class" is really an instance in the object database. "Class" behavior is managed by forms and objects in the Zope Control Panel, which change the state of all instances of that Zope Class. How can this be used? Say I want to create a simple Feedback application. I would create a Folder that contained an addFeedbackForm Document object that collected information from the user and an addFeedback Document that took the information, emailed it to the administrators, and stored it as an entry in the Folder. I might also create a little management interface Document that let me set some central properties, browse the feedback items, and compute some totals. I would also create some special forms that collected the information for new Feedback Folders and set the initial state. I could then package this Folder up as a Zope Class and make it available to all Folders in the system (or ship it to someone else's system). People would now have "Feedback Folder" as a list of possible things they could add. But unlike Zope Products, there is no lib/python/Products/ directory on the filesystem with the Python code. All the logic is handled by DTML scripting from objects stored and managed in the object database. Moreover, new Feedback Folders are instances of a Zope Object (a Python instance), not a Python class. Thus, "class" information has a nice GUI in the Control Panel for changing central information, such as the email address for feedback information. Also, you can change the global look and feel of pieces of content by changing the Document in the Control Panel. Of course I might have this all wrong, and Jim will correct me :^) --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909
