Defining my own security
by Steve Jibson 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Okay, here goes... I have created a Zope Product that extends a Zope Folder object and I want to add a non-traditional security check before allowing users to "View" stuff in the "folder". For reasons that are too complicated to explain here, I can't use Zope roles and permissions for this check (in fact, this check should be done in addition to Zope's existing security mechanism checks). What I want to do is verify that a particular variable in the "Session" matches a specific property of the "folder". If it does not match, I want to raise an unauthorized error. Is this kind of thing possible? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Where is the magic that makes ZopeHome/Products show up on the path?
by Mike C. Fletcher 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

I had thought that this was done with __path__ statements in the __init__.py module, but I don't see any __path__ statement in Products/__init__.py in my Zope 2.7 install. PyDoc doesn't pick up the existence of the extended search path and I was thinking I'd try to teach it how to do so. Though I suppose it might be easier to just fix ZPydoc to work with Zope 2.7, now that I think about it. Have fun, Mike _______________________________________ Mike C.

front middle and back
by aamehl 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi all, I am designing an application that will manage content: audio, notation and text. The frontend take the user input. The backend is the db and directory structure. The middle end relays to and from backend to frontend. I am having trouble visualizing where existing zope products will help me and where I need to create python scripts to interact with the front end and backend. For example I want to check the database for existing information and send a page back to the frontend (plone). I haven't installed any products yet related to databases but is the product the place to query the database from or should I write a python module/script to do that for me. In other words what does the Zope product do for me? I don't mean to sound stupid but I am most confused by this and would prefer not to reinvent the wheel if at all possible. The above in just one scenero. For audio I need to upload a file to a remote directory and scan the headers and then user the header info to update the database. Again a Zope product or a python script/module?? Thanks Aaron

Request for Information
by Shashin Shah 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Dear Zope Users Apologies if this is not the right forum to raise these questions. I am helping a charity decide on an Open Source / Open Standards CMS and also a framework and supporting tools to help them develop their web based applications faster. I would very much appreciate your views on the following: - What is your view on Python versus Java. I am hearing that Python may be more productive than Java in building web based apps. - Whilst Zope is open source, to what extent is it based on Open standards, If we select Zope/Plone/Python is there a danger of getting locked in to something that is proprietary. - Are you aware of any comparisons done on Zope CMF/Plone versus other CMSs (such as Open CMS) that we could have access to ? Any help most appreciated. -- Shashin Shah

Embedding ZPublisher - problem!
by Andreas Jung 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi, I am fighting a bit with a ZPublisher problem: I have a Data.fs containting a script /folder/folder2/myscript which just performs a "return context.REQUEST.text()". I want to call this script directly through the ZPublisher (not using ZServer) since Zope should be embedded into another application. I tried that: import sys import Zope from cStringIO import StringIO from ZPublisher import publish_module from ZPublisher.HTTPRequest import HTTPRequest from ZPublisher.HTTPResponse import HTTPResponse import Zope Zope.configure('/home/ajung/sandboxes/Zope/Zope/etc/zope.conf') IO = StringIO() env = {'HTTP_ACCEPT': 'text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,video/x-mng,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif;q=0.2,*/*;q=0.1', 'HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET': 'ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7', 'HTTP_USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8', 'CONNECTION_TYPE': 'keep-alive', 'HTTP_COOKIE': 'photo_display=original; __ac_name="ajung"; __ac="YWp1bc6cG5t0ZXI%3D%0A"; LOCALIZER_LANGUAGE="de"; I18N_LANGUAGE="de"; _ZopeId="38169570A1SGoNv2S0Q"', 'SERVER_NAME': 'localhost', 'GATEWAY_INTERFACE': 'CGI/1.1', 'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE': 'de', 'HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE': '300', 'REMOTE_ADDR': '127.0.0.1', 'SERVER_SOFTWARE': 'Zope/(unreleased version, python 2.3.3, linux2) ZServer/1.1', 'SCRIPT_NAME': '', 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION': 'Basic YWRtaW46MTIz', 'REQUEST_METHOD': 'GET', 'HTTP_HOST': 'sentinel:8080', 'PATH_INFO': '/folder/folder2/mytest', 'SERVER_PORT': '8080', 'SERVER_PROTOCOL': 'HTTP/1.1', 'channel.creation_time': 1082964215, 'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING': 'gzip,deflate', 'PATH_TRANSLATED': '/folder/folder2/mytest'} name = 'Zope' response = HTTPResponse() request = HTTPRequest(IO, environ=env, response=response) print publish_module(name, request=request, response=response, ) The script always returns a 404 response (not found) for sentinel:8080/folder. What am I doing wrong? Andreas
