How to put my scripts into a custom folder (Acquisition problems)
by Hermann Himmelbauer 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hi, I am developing a simple Zope/Plone site and want to put custom scripts in a seperate folder, e.g. into /custom_scripts But how can I now calling these scripts without losing the correct context? If I e.g. want to call the script "/custom_scripts/myscript" from "/folder1" I have to write http://mysite/folder1/custom_scripts/myscript". The context of the script is then "/custom_scripts" which is bad as it loses the context of "folder1". When I put the python scripts into the root folder, everything works as the context of "http://mysite/folder1/myscript" is then "/folder1" which was my intention. I also don't completely understand it: Why is the context of the first example not "folder1/custom_scripts/"? Why does the context change to the container of the script? Is there any good solution to this? Or should I really put all my python scripts into the root folder?

Is it possible to reduce the size of the text in the ZMI? I'd like to get more text on my screen instead of scrolling so much. -- John

Does a COREBlog mailing list exist? I have the details for one but have not managed to get connected and wondered if it is alive. -- John

[ANN] NMIMETools 1.0 released
by Maik Jablonski 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hi, I've just released NMIMETools 1.0 - a multiple-dynamic-attachment-aware replacement for the Zope MIMETools. I've released a first version of NMIMETools some years ago, which wasn't thread-safe. I've fixed this and cleaned up the code, so NMIMETools can be used in heavy-duty-environments without problems. At least I think so...;) Download NMIMETools: http://mjablonski.zope.de/NMimeTools What is the use of NMIMETools? ------------------------------ If you want to create a mail with multiple dynamically determined attachments with the default MIMETools (<dtml-sendmail><dtml-mime><dtml-boundary>), you can't do this. No chance to iterate over the <dtml-boundary>-tag in a <dtml-in>. NMIMETools fixes this problem and allows you to attach multiple dynamically determind attachments to one mail. It introduces two new tags <dtml-nmime> and <dtml-nboundary> to avoid backward compatibility issues with MIMETools, because <dtml-nboundary> is now a open/close-tag. Simple example: This script iterates over all files in a folder and send them as attachments to one mail: <dtml-sendmail smtphost="127.0.0.1"> To: yourMailAccount(a)yourMailServer.yourMailDomain From: zope(a)yourZopeServer.yourZopeDomain Subject: NMIME-Example with multiple attachments <dtml-nmime type="text/plain" encode="7bit"> Just a demonstration how to send multiple attachments with the NMIMETOOLS. <dtml-in "objectValues('File')"><dtml-nboundary type_expr="content_type" disposition="attachment" encode="base64" filename_expr="_['sequence-item'].getId()"><dtml-var sequence-item></dtml-nboundary></dtml-in></dtml-nmime> </dtml-sendmail> Maybe you'll find it useful...:) Be zoped, Maik

Redirection problem
by John Poltorak 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I have a problem with URL not getting resolved properly and I'm sure it is something related to Apache but can't figure it out properly. I have just installed the Zope MessageBoard product and when using a full URL such as:- http://mysite.org:8080/myzopesite/MB I can add a new msg OK - the URL used is:- http://mysite.org:8080/myzopesite/MB/addMessageForm But when using the URL http://myzopesite.org, the URL displayed on the icon is:- http://myzopesite.org:8080/MB/addMessageForm This sounds like a very basic error but I can't figure out exactly what should be changed. Ideally, I would prefer to be able to access the message board just with http://myzopesite.org/MB and whilst the initial message board screen comes up none of the icons resolve to the correct URL. Can anyone suggest what I have ommitted? This is the RewriteRule in Apache:- RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.myzopesite.org:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.myzopesite.org/myzo… [P,L] Anything wrong with this? -- John

dynamic radio buttons
by garry saddington 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Is there any way to use radio buttons generated dynamically as a result of a ZSQL method. Each iteration needs to have a different name if they are to be treated as a separate group. The problem is compounded by the fact that I must write the user's choices to a database. Here is the code I have so far: <form action=formhandlerinputresults> <table border=1> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Exam Grade</th><th>Term Grade</th></tr> <dtml-in getclassmembers> <input type=hidden name=result.studentid:records value=<dtml-var studentid>> <input type=hidden name=result.classid:records value=<dtml-var teacherid>> <tr><td><dtml-var firstname> <dtml-var surname></td> <td><input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="A">A  <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="B">B  <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="C">C  <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="D">D  <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="E">E  <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="F">F  </td><td><input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="A">A  <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="B">B  <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="C">C  <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="D">D  <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="E">E  <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="F">F  </td></tr></dtml-in></table> <br><br> <input type=submit value="Enter Results"> I could use checkboxes but I want to prevent multiple selections regards garry

SSH window script
by Bryan Simmons 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hey all, I recently wrote a script to allow me to log into any server via ssh from the command line by using a passphrase and a server alias. The idea is to not have to remember or look up ips/usernames/passwords to administer servers via ssh. Here's the output of the -h command line switch: This program takes at least one parameter: <serveralias> Optional params include: -a Add a new server: hosting.pl -a <serveralias> <username> <password> <ip> -u Add a new user to an existing server: hosting.pl -u <serveralias> <username> <password> -e Edit a user on an existing server: hosting.pl -e <serveralias> <username> <newpassword> -x Export configuration file to a new file with a different passphrase: hosting.pl -x <exportfilename> <newpassphrase> -c Change your passphrase: hosting.pl -c -l List all accounts on file. -n Start encrypted config from scratch. Do this if you have no config file yet (this is your first time running this script). The config file that holds the server info is encrypted using blowfish via the Crypt::Simple module. I figured this could be useful to some of you. Here's the link to the script: http://svnhosting.org:8000/svn/bsimmons/Prompts/hosting.pl Let me know any comments/questions/criticism. -- Regards, Bryan Simmons -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. -- Rick Osborne -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Server does not answer
by Sébastien Vinot 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I have a Zope session that runs a Plone one. Navigating on the site is fine. But when one try to connect, the navigator sends a request to the Zope server. It sends back an acknowledgment : the navigator informs the web site is found. And then the navigator is waiting for data that never comes ? I have no error logged on my Zope instance. It is a FreeBSD 5 server that runs a Zope/(unreleased version, python 2.3.4 with ZServer/1.1 (Plone version : 2.0.3). What can be the problem ? Regards. Sebastien
