inside-out virtual hosting?
by Ian MacColl 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

[previously sent to plone-users so apologies for any duplicates] Hello: I'm using Plone 2.0.4 from the OSX installer, running behind the default OSX Apache (1.3.29), on MacOSX 10.3.5. I'm trying to use inside-out virtual hosting as shown at the end of http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ VirtualHosting.stx and at http://www.cheimes.de/opensource/docs/zope-apache2/zope-apache2-4 with a rewrite rule like ^/foo/(.*) http://localhost:8400/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.org:80/ VirtualHostRoot/_vh_foo/$1 [L,P] The redirection works fine, but the _vh_ insertion of foo into generated URLs doesn't happen. For example, the generated news and members links are like http://www.example.org/news http://www.example.org/members rather than the expected http://www.example.org/foo/news http://www.example.org/foo/members I have a separate rewrite rule to redirect non-foo URLs to a default plone instance: ^/(.*) http://localhost:8200/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.org:80/ VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] I think this is being invoked for URLs generated for the foo (port 8400) instance, which seems to be confirmed by the second and subsequent entries in the rewrite log (with first entry also shown below) 203.122.227.35 - - [20/Oct/2004:07:35:19 +1000] [www.example.org/sid#828228][rid#836e38/initial] (1) go-ahead with proxy request proxy:http://localhost:8400/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.org:80/ VirtualHostRoot/_vh_foo/ [OK] 203.122.227.35 - - [20/Oct/2004:07:35:19 +1000] [www.example.org/sid#828228][rid#836e38/initial] (1) go-ahead with proxy request proxy:http://localhost:8200/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.org:80/ VirtualHostRoot/ploneNS4.css [OK] ... I have a VirtualHostMonster in each of the plone instances, but I haven't messed with the auto-generated SiteRoot objects or access_rule scripts. Shutting down the site on port 8200 or commenting out the rewrite rule for port 8200 results in the foo site on port 8400 displaying just the bare content (no graphics or CSS). If I access the port 8400 site directly (via an ssh tunnel), generated URLs are correct. I think this means _vh_foo is not inserting foo into generated URLs as I expect. What am I missing? Should I mess with the SiteRoot objects and access_rule scripts? thanks Ian

RPCAuth prefixes?
by Ian MacColl 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

[previously sent to plone-users so apologies for any duplicates] Hello: Is anyone successfully using RPCAuth and BloggingAPI for authenticated RPC/XML? If so, can you please describe your setup, especially URL and username/password? As far as I can tell, RPCAuth wants username and password prefixed by distinguishing strings (zid and zpw by default, respectively). Is that right? If so, is that done by the user's client? Or by code that receives the XML/RPC call? I've been playing with RPCAuth and BloggingAPI. It looks like calls to BloggerAPI.newPost work with prefixed username/password, while calls to BloggerAPI.getRecentPosts don't. And vice versa. thanks Ian

Another newbie question
by Beverly 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Thanks to all who replied about Zope/Plone community functions, specifically bboard and blogging. Is there a central organized directory of Zope and Plone add-ons, to help one get up to speed on the possibilities -- or do you have to dig them out with search on sourceforge? (It seems like there should be, but I can't find it.) Thanks, Beverly

[ANNOUNCE] VarImage 2.4 released
by Terry Hancock 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

VarImage 2.4.0 Released! "VarImage" or "Variable Image" is a dynamic image manipulation product for Zope which allows images to be resized, filtered, and otherwise manipulated by a simple URL syntax, using a set of plugin "operators" which can be chained. Example: MyImage/th_500_200.bw.jpg With stock VarImage, this thumbnails the image to 500x200*, converts to black and white, and converts to JPEG format for publication. *This is the "foveal thumbnail" which crops as needed to acheive the desired aspect ratio while maximally preserving the "foveal region" of the image, which you can edit from the Zope Management page of VarImage objects. VarImage is a sub-project of the "Narya Project Incubator and Forum" project http://sourceforge.net/projects/narya-project http://narya.net and is distributable under the Gnu Public License. RELEASE 2.4: This is a much more polished version of VarImage, owing to a three-month stint without internet access (and therefore nothing to do on the computer but hack. ;-)). The only minus is that VarImage probably now requires Python 2.3 / Zope 2.7.0 now (but you were gonna upgrade by now anyway, right?). I say "probably" because I simply haven't tested it with earlier versions. Highlights: * Changed plugin profile to include an explicit "caller" reference (just like the "self" in Python object methods). This really simplifies writing plugins which need to access image properties (e.g. it could use information in a caption to control a plugin's behavior). * Referer blocking REALLY works now. Furthermore, there are several popular REFERER policies that are very easy to use VarImage for now. * Configuration files using .cfg format. * Security against DoS style attacks: it is now possible to set various kinds of limits on operator chaining and argument dimensions to avoid abusive demands on your server. (I've never heard of VarImage actually being exploited this way, but the possibility has been suggested, and these limits attempt to address that threat).

Has anyone come across NVU, the Mozilla based web page builder? I'd be interested to know how suitable it would be for a Zope based web site. Does anyone know if it supports WebDAV? -- John

Basic application
by Eddy Ilg 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

Hi, I very often have following problem and wanted to ask here about the best way to do it. Very many times I have a container folder (e.g. caldendar) with objects inside (e.g. a schedule entry of a calendar). The user can perform 4 basic actions on these objects: 1. Display them - this happens via index_html in the container folder 2. Create them - this happens via a dtml-document addEntry with a form The script then calls addAction 3. Modify them - this happens via a dtml-document modEntry The script then calls modAction 4. Delete them - this happens via a dtml-document delEntry I ususally put all this functionality in a ZClass to use it at several locations of a site. What I find very inconvinient is that I always have to write the addEntry and modEntry script. That is always two scripts that are very simmilar. I need ZClasses with functionality as above very often. Is there a better way to do it? Thanks Eddy
