You are not really using #tree incorrectly - you are just being bitten by the interaction of acquisition with the tree tag. Files and Images inherit Acquisition.Implicit. This means that when the tree tag asks an Image or File for its objectValues method, it will get the objectValues method acquired from the parent object of the Image or File (ad infinitum). You don't see this problem with Documents because Documents inherit Acquisition.Explicit, so it doesnt automatically acquire the objectValues method. The solution is for non-collection items like Images and Files to provide their own objectValues which returns an empty sequence, preventing the recursion. I've added a fix for the next Zope release so that non-collection objects will do the right thing.

- making Zope stop inserting a BASE HREF tag?
by Anthony Baxter 18 Jan '99

18 Jan '99

Hey there, I've got a Zope running under ZopeHTTPServer on an NT4 box - for some reason it keeps inserting a BASE href into the HTML it sends back. For various reasons, this box's name is not what it's really known as - it's proxied in wierd and wonderful ways. For example, the following DTML (from standard_html_header) <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>  </TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> gives this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Zope</TITLE> <base href="http://TSWITCH:9673/"> </HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> It looks like some code in ZPublisher/Response.py is responsible - is there an easy way to fix this, short of taking an adze to that section of code? I don't _really_ want to hardcode a base - just to let the HTML go straight through, and let the browser figure it out itself. Thanks, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter, NextTelecom. email:anthony@interlink.com.au, voice: +61 416 271 170

- Zope+Apache
by Michel Pelletier 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

Greetings Zopers, I am putting together a new version of Zap, the Zope plus Apache package. I'm also expanding on the current Zap documentation to try and cover all the problems you've had in the past. If you have a working Zope plus Apache implimentation, I'd like the hear from you on the following points: What version of Apache are you using? Is your mod_rewrite staticly compiled in or dynamicly loaded? What part of the Zope+Apache installation and configuration process gave you the most grief? Could you, at your option, send me the _relevant_ portions of your httpd.conf file? After studying them I will delete them, and no-one else will see them. For those of you who DON'T use Zope and Apache: Would you use Zap if it was proven to be stable and easy, or would you stick with your current setup? (ZopeHTTPServer, Medusa, etc..) If you would consider switching to Zap, would you use it for production or just Zope prototyping? For everybody: If Zope and Zap were packaged in RPM format, what installation path would you like to see it in? Do you think an /etc/rc.d/init/zope file would be handy? Please send all replies to michel(a)digicool.com, make sure NOT to cc the list, especialy if you attach your httpd.conf file. Michel Pelletier (michel(a)digicool.com)

- Proxying and authorization
by Magnus Lie Hetland 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

I now serve a zope site (under development) through two proxies, no less, but it works quite nicely... Except for the authorization part. I have to enter my name and password for each of the three servers, which is quite annoying. So... Is there a way of making the browser understand that it should try the same authorization at all three places? Or maybe Zope could use relative URLs so that it would never notice anything other than the "top" proxy? Is there another way of solving the problem? -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia(a)pvv.org>

- I made a ZSybase Database Adapter...
by Brian Hooper 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

Hi there! It's not all that wonderful yet, but I made a Sybase database adapter product using Peter Godman's (http://starship.skyport.net/~pgodman) ctsybasemodule and some simple tweaking of the ZMySQLDA. If you have a use for this, please try it out and give me tips and suggestions!

RE: [Zope] - Looping over the characters in a string in DTML...
by Wolf Logan 16 Jan '99

i've been thinking about this for a while now, and i was wondering if anyone had considered building a product to support python methods that would be stored in the object database. something like a document, but with real python source. the product could execute the code in a bastion (for security purposes). this would be a somewhat simpler way to handle external methods than using the external methods product, since the method itself would be stored in the object database and be editable through-the-web. i've wanted this so i could write one- or two-line snippets that could be used in "real" documents. -----Original Message----- From: Ty Sarna Sent: 1/16/99 9:36 AM On a more practical note, producing a picklist of years given a start and end date seems like a fairly common thing to want do. Why should I have have to give a content author on my zope site access to the filesystem, just to write a one-line function wrapper around a builtin python function?

- Proxying with Apache...
by Magnus Lie Hetland 16 Jan '99

16 Jan '99

I'm trying to set up apache to work as some sort of a proxy for my Zope system. I can run Apache on one machine on port 80, and I want to make it work like a mirror for the Zope server running on another machine (and port). I have enabled mod_proxy, and have tried to use ProxyPass (and ProxyPassReverse) but it doesn't seem to work quite well... When I enter only the server name in the URL, the Zope main page appears... But as soon as I enter some directories or documents following it, Apache tells me: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand What can be the problem? How do I have to configure it to make it work the way I want to? -- Magnus Lie Hetland www.pvv.org/arcadia <arcadia(a)pvv.org>

If you need the reuslts of these function calls why not use an external method. This was more natural in BOBO (no need to manually add the method at some other/external point), but this is in the end the cleaner way. DTML functions should be there for easier formatting of HTML but not to build complex program logic into a HTML file. Just my humble opinion, __Janko Hauser
