Give ownerschip instead of take ownership?
by Marinussen, M.J. (Ria) 12 May '04

12 May '04

Hi, I've set up an intranet site. Several people get editing rights through a webinterface I created. One of the things they can do, is add a page in the right format with a special webform. The pages they add are owned by them, and I use "ownership" to place a "mail the editor button" on every page. So far, so good... But as webadmin I layed out the basic structure, and sometimes I help people set up their part of the side when they don't have the time to do it. And these pages are owned by me, not by the people that are going to edit the contents of the page. And I don't want people to contact me when they have remarks/questions about the contents of the page. These editors don't have manager rights in zope, and don't use the managementinterface of zope, so I can't have them "take ownership" of these pages, and I don't know their passwords, so I can't take their identity (don't want to do that either). Instead I would like to "give ownership" to them. Only the webadmin, with manager rights in the zope interface has to be able to do this. And it doesn't have to be permanent; if it's a security risk I can change things back to normal after I make the necessary adjustments. Does anyone has an idea whether it is possible to do this (and how - in what direction should I search)? (I'm using zope 2.5.1 with python 2.1.3 on solaris) Thanks

CookieCrumbler problem after initial authentication
by Ralph vd Houdt 12 May '04

12 May '04

Hi All, I'm trying to setup a CookieCrumbler in a folder below a folder wich has allready required authentication, the second folder has different access rights and therefore requires the user to login again. When the user is logged in allready by an initial CookieCrumbler or even by an initial Basic HTTP Authentication the CookieCrumbler is ignored and Zope gives me Basic HTTP Authentication and not the CookieCrumbler Form. My Setup: -- Folder A (requires authentication) |-- Folder B (requires different authentication with CookieCrumbler) When I go directly to Folder B without authenticating for Folder A the CookieCrumbler pops up. But first authenticating Folder A and then going to Folder B ignores the CookieCrumbler. Does anyone know a solution? Greetings Ralph

dreamweaver use for zope via WebDav-ZPT support?
by Sean Kelley 12 May '04

12 May '04

I was trying to install zope extensions for dreamweaver to hopefully get the right object type associated with the files added in zope through Dreamweaver. ZPT files become DTML documents in ZOPE when using dreamweaver if you name them .htm Otherwise they are text files which cannot be edited with WYSIWYG. I found the following page which mentions "following directions" to install an extension for Zope/Dreamweaver but there are no directions in the zip file that I can see, nor is there any on the download page: http://www.zope.org/Members/careymatt/dreamweaver_dtml_objects How do you use Dreamweaver with Zope's WebDav and still retain file types (ZPT) or DTML tags? I have the extension manager installed for Dreamweaver but there is no extension file to install in the above download. Sean

Some hype for Europython 2004 Zope Track
by Heimo Laukkanen 12 May '04

12 May '04

As the track chair for Europython 2004 Zope track it is my pleasure to hype up some excellent news about the schedule and get your apetite up for for the best ever Zope track at Europython. Never mind that there are other excellent tracks running at the same time -- since we have such a fabulous show that if you are interested in Zope, you will be glued down to your seat! First of all we are now running for three full days and have each day packed with excellent talks. Whether you are into Silva, CPS, Plone, Zope 3 or doing your first projects and just trying to figure out where and how people use Zope. Especially cool is that on the first day of the conference we will have Rob Page from Zope Corporation doing two talks, one presenting more about status of Zope Corporation and how they see the business - and second talk about how they do Zope-projects. These talks alone should be enough for you to register and come to the conference. http://www.europython.org/conferences/epc2004/info/talks/talkMatrix?day=1 Naturally we will also have major contributions and news from the development of Zope 3. Philipp von Weitershausen and Steve Alexander will hold talk about Zope 3, Jim Fulton will present Zope Roadmap and Aroldo Souza-Leite presents the status of Zope3 Common Criteria Certification. These talks should be enough to get your apetite ready for coming Zope 3 releases in the future. And if you are an Archetypes-junkie - then you just can't miss out talks by Benjamin Saller and Andreas Jung. These brave lads will actually tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Archetypes. If you do professional Plone work, then these talks combined with Alexander Limi's wrapup talk about Plone status should be enough to convince you and your boss to cough up some euros for travel expenses. http://www.europython.org/conferences/epc2004/info/talks/talkMatrix?day=2 And we haven't forgotten those of you who use or are interested to know more about CPS. Our friends from Nuxeo and other contributors will have extremely interesting talks about CPS as a whole, but also about certain components - including CPS Schemas and Directories. And if this is not enough, we have some major cool stuff waiting you on the last half of the last day. We will have few Zope specific lightningtalks - including some casefiles -- and then our special event, that will be revealed soon. I can't yet reveal it's contents - but if you are in to Zope CMS business or doing work with Zope based content management tools, then this is something you just can't miss. So unless you have some reading disorder or if your family doctor has restrained you from traveling, it should be clear that there is no reason whatsoever to miss Europython. So whatever you wre doing - drop that now, and point your browser to http://www.europython.org. Registering is easy and it makes you feel better. Really. Be a better human being, come to Europython 2004! -- -huima

filesize limit

Hi, I'm running a remote zope server. In time the Data.fs kept growing and went above 2GB ... had to upgrade from kernel 2.2 and install python and zope from source ( still running RH7.3 an zope2.5.1 behind Apache ) ... so far so good ... for maintenance I thought I'd gzip the Data.fs.old and download it ... done that in an 8 hour dwn/l trough ssh ... so far so good tucked the Data.fs in zope/var directory on my local machine and fired up zope ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:02 INFO(0) Hotfixes Applying Hotfix_2002-04-15 ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:02 INFO(0) Hotfixes Applying Hotfix_2002-06-14 ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:02 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.BasicUserWithGroups Patching BasicUser ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:02 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.LocalRolesWithGroups Patching RoleManager ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:02 INFO(0) NuxUserGroups.CatalogToolWithGroups Patching CatalogTool ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:03 ERROR(200) TextIndexNG Import of Python extensions failed ------ 2004-05-12T12:53:03 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File Fortis\z2.py, line 564, in ?

Out of experience I've noticed you need 2 times the amount of your Data.fs in free space to pack the database. So if you have a 4.7 GB filesize, you need about 9 GB of free space to pack. The HD itself is 10 GB, so I'm out of luck I guess. So I'm stuck running maintenance remotely. To not endanger the running zope instance I was wondering if I just could copy the entire folder, rename it to zopebis, change te start script to use alternate portnumber(s) and do my thing this way? I should probably shut down zope while copiing :-} Anything I overlooked? TIA, Roel -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCM d- s+++:--- a C++++ UL++ P+ L++ E- W+++ N++ o K- w O? M+ V?

RE: [Zope] ExtFile Question
by Laura McCord 12 May '04

12 May '04

There are still a few things that I am a little fuzzy about. I set the environment variable EXTFILE_STATIC_PATH=/static in the zopectl.py like you suggested. But I am sure there are a lot more steps that I am missing because I am still getting an error: Error Type: Can't create directory: Error Value: /opt/zope/doucet/static/reposit/t/M Now, the static/reposit directories did not exist. I went in and created the directories myself using mkdir. But the error still came up. I have seen some people mention a RewriteRule is my error coming from this? Is there any more documentation that you can suggest that would help me make a file redirect to apache using ExtFile? Thank you very much for your suggestions. -Laura -----Original Message----- From: Stefan H.
