Zope 2.7
by Simon Faulkner 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi All, I got Zope 2.7 running (and Plone 2 - very nice :-) Thanks for your efforts, it's lovely. (I love the new install and zopectl) My question is: Can I now run several Zope sites on my test server on different ports and just copy the instance directory to my production server when they are ready?

ExUserFolder - Login screen keeps appearing even in manager mode.
by cheng saimun 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi guys, I am using exuserfolder 0.20.tgz which is v. 10.10 in my Zope management control panel. I have a fresh install of Zope and have not changed any Security settings. I created a folder /Toy at / Folder and a sub-folder /Toy/files. I added a index_html file in /Toy/files. Lastly I added a userFolder( acl_users ) at /Toy. / Toy files index.html acl_users The bizarre thing is whenever i clicked on Toy folder or beneath. I will be prompted a login screen ( docLogin ) and I can only login using my present manager account/password after the second attempt. After subsequent clicks @ /Toy and below result in the same process. I have tried loggin out and back on. The manager permssions in / folder are all checked except for TakeOwnership ( I did not touch any permssions as mentioned above). The persisent appearing of login screen should not happen. May I know whats the issue here? Thanks -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

date formats
by Philippe Vignaux 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi all ! . can't get rid off my dates problems .. I would like the following python statements to apply validity checks on a date always inputed under format YYYY / MM / DD (GMT+1) The 2 first examples behaves as expected. The last one not. try: date=DateTime('2003/07/03') print date.strftime("%Y %B %d") except: print 'error' return printed 2003 July 03 (OK) try: date=DateTime('2003/03/07') print date.strftime("%Y %B %d") except: print 'error' return printed 2003 March 07 (OK) try: date=DateTime('2003/13/03') print date.strftime("%Y %B %d") except: print 'error' return printed 2003 March 13 (NOK) While I'm expecting an error (no months with id 13 !!!) it reverses the month part and the day part !! Why ?? Is that the normal behaviour ?? Or is there any parameter to provide so that python knows the format is always YYYY / MM / DD (the setup: Windows 2000 server Zope 2.6.2 python 2.1 ) Thanks for any help ! Phil.

Well...it seem that it doesn't matter what username and PW i login, i can be granted entry. But this shouldn't be the case right. I guess the most important Qn is: why the login screen in the first place? ----- Original Message ----- From: "cheng saimun" Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 23:15:45 -0500 To: mlong(a)datalong.com, zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] ExUserFolder - Login screen keeps appearing even in managermode. > Hi guys, I am using exuserfolder 0.20.tgz which is v. 10.10 in my Zope management control panel. > > I have a fresh install of Zope and have not changed any Security settings.

Another stupid question
by Joe Goldthwaite 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

Once again, I'm forced to ask a simple question that everyone probably knows the answer to but that I can't seem to figure out from any of my multiple books or online resources. I need to leave a semi-permanent cookie to store my options. I'm doing it from within and External Method. I've tried a number of things but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what the format is supposed to be. The Zope Book documents the function like as "setCookie(name, value, **kw)" but doesn't tell me anything about what "**kw" is. The Zope Bible looks like it just copied the definition from The Zope Book. My other books say nothing on the subject. I tried this (going from an example I found on a Google search); response = REQUEST.RESPONSE response.setCookie('ISOptions', 'Value=%s' % Writedict(d), expires='Wed Feb 2020 14:28:00 GMT') But it doesn't work. The cookie is there with the options set correctly but my cookie manager says that it expires at the end of the session and after the session ends, the cookie goes away. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

File upload manager similar to OWL for Zope?
by Ellinghaus, Lance 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

Does anyone know of a product for Zope that works similar to OWL? We use OWL at our company for a central repository of files and have over 10GB of files being managed by it. The advantage of OWL is that the files are stored in directories in the OS so they can be accessed via the filesystem if needed.

Several levels of message privacy/read access?
by XavierVerg�sFarrer� 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

I'm new to zope. I have browsed the zope book and think that I like zope very much. I'd like to have something similar to a blog, where the different entries and comments can be hidden to different sets of users. This is for my kid's school, and here are some of the access possibilities that I think that could be useful for a given entry: -everyone can read it -only the creator can read it. -only teachers can read it. -only parents and teachers can read it. -only the kids and the teacher in a class can read it. There is an additional level of complexity: if this application proves to be useful, other schools in the neighborhood may use it, so probably the school should also play a role in the access rights. Any hints of what could my starting points be? There are so many products that look nice that taking a first step is hard! Thanks in advance. -Xavier __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
