Problems changing user roles
by Víctor Pascual Cid 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Hi all!! I'm newbie on the Zope development. I'm creating a site using Zope + Plone. The site will have several new roles because there will be some folders only accessible for some users. So I need to differentiate the different users when they sign in to the site, in order to give them they role. To do this, I've tried to change the "register" script. What I want to do is to get a new field from the "Sign on sheet" to know the role of the new user, and then add him with it. I'm attaching you my register code. As you will see, I just have changed the line that contains the addMember method, trying to set to the new user the "System developer" role, but it doesn't works. When I fill the "join_form", Zope redirects me to the "login_form" page. Does anybody has any idea of what happens? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST=context.REQUEST portal_registration=context.portal_registration site_properties=context.portal_properties.site_properties username = REQUEST['username'] password=REQUEST.get('password') or portal_registration.generatePassword() portal_registration.addMember(username, password, roles=('System developer'),properties=REQUEST) ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance.

RE: [Zope] Newbie question: can the ZODB be moved? On a different Server or HDD?
by Shane McCombs 03 Jun '04

Hey Chris Why WinDoze? My boss is a MS Fanatic? :-( I can only work with what I am given. I am lucky to be trying an Open Source product! I have looked at LocalFS... that was my first thought. Unfortunately even though I have a few years at application programming, Python and the Concepts of Web Programming are completely new to me. I am finding myself in an awkward position. After reading everything I could get my hands on I simply could not figure out how to get going with it. It appears to me that most of the info on the net assumes a more basic level of knowledge than I possess at the moment. The LocalFS would be perfect for our needs. No. There were no error msg. Zope would not start. I thought it might have something to do with the line that said something about "at least one DB must be mounted at / for zope to start".

Have you looked at something like LocalFS so the PDF's themselves aren't stored in ZODB? Mindyou, can't see any problems with the way you ARE doing things... > %define RBSC Z:\zodb <snip> > <zodb_db main> > # Main FileStorage database > <filestorage> > path $RBSC/Data.fs <-------------------------------------- Here > </filestorage> > mount-point / > </zodb_db> I'd try path $RBSC\Data.fs, but what happened when you tried the above?

Mail Archive

Unfortunately the archive at nipltd is definitely gone. Does anyone know a good search interface for the mailing list archives? I don't like the Active State search interface that much. Or otherwise is it possible to download somewhere the whole mailing list archive as one file?

type in python scripts
by Sam Gendler 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

How does one check the type of a variable in a python script? I get a global name error when I try to use the type method. I am just trying to write a generic python script which iterates over all members of form and generates hidden input tags for each, preserving the type, so I have to check the type of each form value in order to generate the correct field name. --sam

problem with RSS
by HERITIER Damien 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hi everybody, I use zope 2.7 and plone 2.0 And I can't read the rss file I tested different product : RSSChannel, ZExternal, RSSSummary. And all the time I have the same error : IOError [Errno socket error] (10061, 'Connection refused') I think, python use a port to real this rss, and my firewall block it. So do you know which one ? Or maybe, I am totally wrong, and it's it something else. Thinks for your help. damien
