Subject: [Zope] Problem with dtml-sendmail

we wrote an email form that performs a POST
on a python script. This python script calls
a dtml-method with the <dtml-sendmail>.

The dtml-sendmail does not find the MailHost
if it is not in the same folder. So I have to create
a separate MailHost in the same folder and everything is=20
fine. Acquisition otherwise works fine, the
standard_html_header is found and included.

So why does Acuqisition not work for dtml-sendmail?

Any ideas?

Markus

When you enter a version, you just get a cookie named 'Zope-Version'
with the path to your version as a value. You can see it for yourself if 
you configure the browser to ask before accepting cookies and look at 
the cookie details.
In Zope 2.3.3, and I suspect in any zope after that also, it's possible 
to just set this cookie, and the browser is in that version. Therefore 
the permission 'join/leave versions' is quite useless IMO.
The upside is that you need just a short code snippet (setting that 
cookie) to let anyone (including anonymous) enter any version.
Downsides are obvious and manyfold.

oliver

So.. only use a single propertysheet. Long command.. yeah... it's a long 
command. ;-)

Hmmm... the property sheet only gives the class a value for the named 
properties. This "class" value gets used if the instance doesn't have a 
value of it's own. You can give the class value some "special" value 
(e.g., 'uninitialized') if you want to check an instance to see if 
you've set a custom value for that instance.

Too bad. ;-) If you *need* ZClasses for some reason, you can also make a 
Python base class, and subclass from that. Then you can change the base 
class of your Python class later quite easily. You could even make this 
Python class subclass from PropertyManager if you decide that's really 
what you're after.

good luck!

Subject: [Zope] Storing Images  in PostgreSQL

Hello,

I am trying to store images in a PostgreSQL 7.2 database using the Psycopg
database adapter, running Zope 2.5.0 on redhat linux.
I found a tip at
http://lists.initd.org/pipermail/psycopg/2001-June/000200.html and tried
it out. Unfortunately I get an error like "Can't parse object
'Gif123/'..."

Is there any documentation on how to store images in a PostgreSQL database
from Zope ?

cheers,
nico

Subject: [Zope] Problems with Zope and Apache

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am running Zope 2.5.1b2 with CMF
1.1 (python 2.1). I want to upgrade to CMF 1.2 but when I do and try to
publish an item I get the following error:

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: hasReplies() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given).

Publishing a document works fine on CMF 1.1 but this error occurs under 1.2.

I have got one step further to solving the problem. The error message does
not appear if you publish through the management screen (Zserver) but does
occur is you are running it through a browser (Apache). Has anyone else had
this problem?

Any help or guidance would be a great help.

Thanks

James

you should use 'context' instead of 'container'. have a look at the
description of the python-script-bindings (bindings-tab)...

request = context.REQUEST
...
o = context.index_html

you must use == instead of = for comparisions in python.

Subject: [Zope] Xron Security help

Dear all Xron masters,

I have a Xron method that works fine as Manager. If I hit the Trigger id does 
what it is supposed to.
But as cron script it doesn't work; probably because you need to Manager or 
something. 
If I visit the Xron not being logged in like this:

"mozilla 
http://host:8050/gskolan/Style/2002/suckImage_xron/manage_triggerXronEvent"

It asks for authentication but the method itself doesn't require it. I double 
checked that by dtml-commenting the whole script and replace it with "HELLO 
WORLD". Still asking for authentication.
What security settings do I need to do?
Zope 2.5.0 linux python 2.1 Xron 0.0.10

Cheers, Peter

I think you should be able to do either of (both untested):

getattr(context, c).manage_addDocument('NewDoc')
context[c].manage_addDocument('NewDoc')

As far as I understand, your version doesn't work because you are telling
python/zope to look for the c string object that is an attribute of context,
instead of telling it to get hold of the attribute of context that is called
whatever str(c) returns.

You need a postgres DA that supports commands for handling postgres
Large Objects (loimport,getlo,unlink ...)

As far as I know popy tries to store binary data into a bytea field ...
don't know if it works.

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/AppendixB.stx
tells us
objectIds(type=None) This method returns a list of the ids of the
contained
      objects.

very clearly, an id does not have an attribute "getProperty"
(an Image-object has).

hi andreas,

thanks!
I do not use popy DA but Psycopg DA that supports commands for handling
postgres large objects. I uploaded an image from the file system into my
sql table using lo_import in a ZSQL mehtod. What I don't know is, how to
store an image using a simple input form similiar to upload an image into
the ZODB. Furthermore, I did not found any documentation on how to get
the image from the database table to display it in DTML. Once I get it
running, I should write a how-to. :-)

My guess is a column which was supposed to have a date in it has a NULL 
date... not sure though.

I'm going to upload rel 1.1 this morning, which has some fixes in it.

Subject: Re: [Zope] setting up a ZClass - base class of PropertyManager?  plus weird gradual broken product messages

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the follow up!

I have to respond about property sheets again... what I want is to take
advantage of the famous "acquisition" mechanism, but I want my class
instances to acquire from their _containing objects_ rather than from
their class property sheet values.  They seem to be inheriting from the
property sheet values even if the value is "blank" in the property
sheet.

Is there some way to control this, other than testing each thing? 
Creating an "undefined" value is not really going to work here; I've got
a whole bunch of different properties, some are selections, some boolean
(hard to set an undefined value for those), some text...  I could, of
course, define an additional property for each property already defined,
that specifies whether the property should come from the containing
object (true by default), but isn't the whole acquisition model supposed
to make this unneccessary?

I'm trying to do things the "right" way within Zope, but I'm still not
sure what that is for what I'm trying to accomplish.  I'm starting to
suspect that the ZClass approach may not be the best for what I want.

Many thanks,
Am

Have your method return a dictionary instead of a list of tuples.  Then you
can directly access an item by its key.  A tuple is not indexed except by
position, so you can't jump into the middle by using a key.

It's probably a non-issue, though.  The length of your list would have to be
pretty large for there to be a noticable delay because you have to look
through the list.  Still, a dictionary is what you want.

Subject: RE: [Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Separate staging and development
areas for a product

Hi,
Ted here. I started this thread a while back, and came up with a solution
that works for me.   I hope it is helpful for others too.  If u find a flaw
in it, please let me know.

Goal:
To run both a dev and staging environment on one Zope.  This must work with
external methods, and modules imported by those external methods (i.e. file
based products).  In other words, I will have files with the same name on
the system in different directories.

What I did:
1) Created my dev project
The external methods reside in
/usr/zope/lib/python/Products/dev/Extensions
Python files that r imported by those external method modules also reside in
that same directory (or a package within there).

2) Made a copy of dev, both in Zope and on file system, called it staging.
Now all the same files exist in
/usr/zope/lib/python/Products/staging/Extensions as well.
(don't forget ur __init__.py files in all dirs!)

3) Update the external method path's in the Zope mgmt. interface.  Lets say
I had an external method module called myfuncs.py .  In dev the external
module path is dev.myfuncs, while in staging I need to make it
staging.myfuns.   So, there is no code changes between dev and staging.  The
only changes r in the zope mgmt interface for hooking up the external method
paths.

4) The interesting part:
If u just do the above, it will not work.  The reason is that external
methods use the ExternalMethod product, which in turn uses Extensions.py.
When u invoke an external method, it is loaded with an exec command from
within Extensions.py.   As a result, it is loaded within the context of
Extensions.py and can not import other modules from the directory that
actually contains ur external method.  At first I fixed this by adding to my
python path.  But if u do that, u can only import either dev or staging
files, whichever comes first in the python path.   So....  I hacked
Extensions.py with a very small change.
Instead of allowing Extensions.py to do an exec, I made it do an import to
load the module so that my dev and staging modules will be loaded from the
context of their own directories, and will therefore import modules from
their own directory.  In this way dev external methods import modules from
the Products/dev/Extensions directory, and staging will import from
Products/staging/Extensions/.

The hack could be more robust, but it is very short, and is getting me back
on the road to staging...

code excerpt from Extensions.py.....

Starting at line 140:

    else:
        try: execsrc=open(p)
        except: raise "Module Error", (
            "The specified module, <em>%s</em>, couldn't be opened."
            % module)
        #m={}  <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Commented out the old way of loading module
        #exec execsrc in m   <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Commented out the old way of
loading module

        # >>>> Start of my new stuff
        modNameParts = split( module, "." )
        module = "Products." + modNameParts[0] + ".Extensions." +
modNameParts[1]
        exec ( "import " + module + " as m" )
	  # >>>> End of my new stuff

    funcToRetrieve = "m." + name
    try: r= eval( funcToRetrieve ) #<<<<<<< I replaced this line too.. usde

When you enter a version, you just get a cookie named 'Zope-Version'
with the path to your version as a value. You can see it for yourself if
you configure the browser to ask before accepting cookies and look at
the cookie details.
In Zope 2.3.3, and I suspect in any zope after that also, it's possible
to just set this cookie, and the browser is in that version. Therefore
the permission 'join/leave versions' is quite useless IMO.
The upside is that you need just a short code snippet (setting that
cookie) to let anyone (including anonymous) enter any version.
Downsides are obvious and manyfold.

oliver

Subject: RE: [Zope] Alternate HTML Table implementation in STX
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 12:14:14 -0400

Andreas,

My intent here is handling columnar data, so colspan and rowspan would be
rarely needed.  I'm sure there would be a tidy way to establish a syntax
that supported spanning, were it desirable.

As I read through the various documentation on STX, the idea seems to be to
create a source format that is as close to readable as the rendered format.
Given this concept, I can see the reasoning behind the existing way of
describing tables using ascii drawings of the table.  Nonetheless, as with
most technology STX constantly proves trickier to implement that expected.  

e.g.
1. In Zope, failing to properly close the table breaks the entire page,
thereby losing all access via a Wiki interface.
2. Entries within the table are still subject to STX rules, with sometimes
strange results.  For example, a cell that contains a only number will be
converted to a 1 since it is interpreted as an ordered list element.

Also, my earlier suggestion using a DTML tag is bad form for STX.  Maybe I
should have said something like:

[TABLE=1, Lecture Halls]
"Room", "Capacity" ,"Sound".
"B-100", "200" ,"Yes".

which would render like:

|-----------------------------|
| Room   | Capacity | Sound   |
|-----------------------------|
| B-100  |   200    | Yes     |
|-----------------------------|
Table 1. Lecture Halls

Anyhow, I am not proposing a standard, but trying to find out an easy way to
do this with STX or move on.

Thanks in advance,
--ira (via Bob's account)

Matthew,

I updated to 1.1 that you uploaded an am still getting the same error.
Running dco2 on my linux test box, and accessing an oracle 8.1.6 server on a
ibm unix 4.3 box.

I get the error no matter what table i query, with or without a date
field, and even if i misspell the table name.

since connecting and querying seems to work (ie data is getting sent
and returned), this is most likely not a fault of a bad build or other
module correct?

I'm relatively new to gnu/linux and still learning everyday.

cx_Oracle works fine, but I wanted to use DCOracle2 for Zope and its
callproc() feature.

What do you suggest I do?

Thanks for your help,

OK,

Step 1:  

    export DCO2TRACEDUMP=dco2.tcd
    export DCO2TRACEFLAGS=255
    ... run your python program ...

Step 2:

   Go to http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2/Tracker and open a 
problem report, uploading the tracedump from step 1.  Edit the file if 
necessary to remove any plaintext you don't want others to see (like 
passwords if they appear).

If that doesnt work, I need better tracebacks for why an integer is 
required -- "stdin line 1" is not helpful, since it doesn't tell me what 
the statement was that failed.

If that STILL doesn't work, then I need to see the schema description 
for your table, which you can get from DCOracle2 by doing the following

    db = DCOracle2.connect(connectstring)
    d = db.describe(SCHEMANAME)  # most schema names are all caps e.g. 
"TABLE"
    print db.decodedesc(d)

If the decoding fails, then I will look at the raw description:

    import pprint
    pprint.pprint(d)

There are certain things DCOracle2 doesn't do, like Oracle objects, so I 
need to see the schema data to make sure it isn't getting back anything 
that it should be doing, but isn't.

Matthew,

All right, cancel all the previous messages out. Looks like it was an
install and usage error on my side. Thanks for all the tips and I
apologize for any frustration caused.

Just so you know, I was importing dco2 instead of DCOracle2.

Of course, it also helps when the installer isn't a newbie.

Subject: [Zope] Returning data as XML from a python script?

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a fairly generic system for retrieving data from a
database and bundling it so that it can easily be placed in any front
end medium. For the moment, this means simply finding a data format that
I can use in both HTML and Flash. I'm fairly certain that I could get
Python to return XML easily, but the question I have right now is: is
there an easy way I can leverage this so that Python doesn't care
whether it was a page template or a flash movie that made the call, and
that it will work in either situation? I love Flash, but I know many
people don't, and we don't have the budget for redoing our entire site
anyway, so it is a given that HTML will be the presentation medium of
choice. But I would like to have the data there if I want to put a Flash
front-end on a specific page. 
As I understand it now, Flash would be happy simply receiving the text
of an XML document, and then parsing it into useful information, while
ZPT would prefer to have an object that it can reference the properties
of. Is there an easy solution? I suppose I could simply have a wrapper
class for HTML, Flash, and any other mediums we choose to utilize? Well
maybe I answered my own question, but I'm a Zope newbie, and I have yet
to make extensive use of Flash's XML streaming facilities, so I would
appreciate if everyone would throw in their comments on this, as I'm
sure there are many things I am overlooking.  
Thanks for your time, and I'm really sorry if outlook mangles this.

Well, it looks like that was the wrong solution.  Apparently, the various

It would have been helpful had there been some documentation separate from

I have an HTML form with a text field into which I wish to place the

In the form, I have the following DTML:

<

This code is copied verbatim from another page on one of my other Zope 
sites where it produces the day's date just beautifully. In this case, it 
only displays the first formatted element (day name in this case, but I've 
proven that it will display the first item whatever it is) in the form's 
text field.

If I use the exact same code in a textarea multi-line field on an HTML 
form, it displays the entire formatted date correctly.

Known bug? Workarounds? Personal insanity?

Additionally, you probably must use "_.getitem('sequence-item')" to

"print" will print to "sys.stdout". Where goes this content to?

The output may be buffered.
Use "import sys; sys.stdout.flush()" to flush the buffer.

One possible approach:

    Start Zope with "ZOPE_SECURITY_POLICY=PYTHON".

    Use "DocFinder" to analyse how "delRows" is protected.

    Ajust the correct permission to role mapping.

You find "DocFinder" via

The "user" probably does

    from ZPublisher.Publish import publish

Then, later changes to "ZPublisher.Publish" do not affect the imported
"publish".

If that's the reason, you need to find the "publish" and change it
there, too.

Looks like a configuration/startup parameter, similar to "-L".
It would control the default encoding of (all) non-Unicode strings inside
Zope -- similar to Python's "default_encoding".

Lifting a restriction is not likely to break existing code.
Of course, we must be careful when URLs are constructed.
When I looked at it for the last time, it appeared to correctly
quote the components. But there may be lots of places...

Apparently, "tranalyser" needs to be updated.

Me, too, I hit this problem today. It appears "tranalyser" cannot
handle versions.

I used "lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py -v2" instead.

It does!

Why do you make a standard error?

  DTML objects want to be called with two positional arguments.
  Please read "Calling DTML objects" in

I thought that I documented this pretty well.  If you had trouble
finding this frome the Parsed XML documetation, it's a bug that should
be filed.

NodeType is a DOM implementation feature, which is described by the
W3C docs and linked to in several help screens.  There is also
discussion on the Parsed XML & Zope XML wikis, linked to by the docs.
The DOM interfaces that Parsed XML implements are listed in the Parsed
XML docs, and any deviations from this list are also bugs that should
be filed.

Put quotes around your value variable. Don't ask me why that works, but it
does.

Subject: [Zope] DTML type casting? or something? / LocalFS subdirectory exists test

I'm having a DTML problem here.  I'm trying to test whether a subdirectory 
(whose id=ProjectID) exists under a LocalFS object.

<dtml-with ProjectID>
      <dtml-if "'&dtml-ProjectID;' in projectfiles.fileIds()">
            The directory "<dtml-var ProjectID>" exists
      <dtml-else>
            "<dtml-var ProjectID>" does not exist
      </dtml-if>
</dtml-with>

When I manually enter a value in place of ProjectID it works fine (ex. 
"'202006' in projectfiles.filesIds()").  When I use &dtml-ProjectID; it 
doesn't work.  I presume that the value of ProjectID is not being translated 
into an appropriate format for the expression to work, but I don't know how 
to test this or to resolve this.  Any thoughts?  Better ways to do this?

thanks

Davis

python cookbook to the rescue!
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/92823

Ignore the specifics, just notice the principle. 
Here's a simple example:

$ python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Aug 25 2000, 09:33:37)  [GCC 2.96 20000731 (experimental)] on linux-i386
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> class Foo:
...   def bar(self, arg):
...     print arg 
... 
>>> def newbar(self, arg, oldbar=Foo.bar):  # have to pass in the old method
...   print "Now in newbar, and calling the old one"
...   oldbar(self, arg)
... 
>>> x = Foo()
>>> x.bar(1)
1
>>> Foo.bar=newbar  # substitute the new method
>>> x.bar(1)   
Now in newbar, and calling the old one
1

So you can redefine a method and see the effect in all existing
(and future) instances. AFAIKT this should work regardless of how the 
class gets imported anywhere else.
 
When I first heard this idea, I mistakenly thought it was just the Decorator
design pattern, but clearly it's much more wide-reaching...

Decorator, for any readers who don't know, shows how to change the behavior
of a *single instance* of a class and leave all other instances alone.
Probably not what you want in this case, but a very powerful tool anyway,
and very easy in python.

Here's an example, continuing from the above python session:

>>> class Decorator:
...    def __init__(self, original):
...        self.original=original
...    def bar(self, arg):
...        print "This is the decorated version..."
...        self.original.bar(arg)
...        print "we now return to your regularly scheduled programming."
... 
>>> 
>>> y = Foo()
>>> x = Decorator(x)
>>> x.bar("blah")
This is the decorated version...
Now in newbar, and calling the old one
blah
we now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
>>> y.bar("bleah")
Now in newbar, and calling the old one
bleah
>>> x = x.original    
>>> x.bar("wheeee")
Now in newbar, and calling the old one
wheeee

Now back to my C++ homework. It's not nearly this much fun. :(

Subject: [zope] extra data for users
To: [email-masked]

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I'm having a hard time finding
general advice on this. I'm really new to zope.

I'm running zope, CFM and plone. I am trying to build a "secret santa"
system, where each user will eventually be given the address and name of
another user that they will send a gift to. This means that each user needs
to have the additional "address" and "gives-to" fields.

Can someone give a recommendation of how I should store this extra data?
Should I extend the zope users, or should I store the data with the CFM
member's folder (what format would this be?), or should I put it all in a
database?

Ideally I'd have the data with the zope user object, so that when someone
deletes themself from the system I can track down their recipient and find
the recipient a new giver. Is there an easy way to add new attributes to the
user, and are they easily modified after the user is created?

Subject: [Zope] BUG FSCounter: Anonymous can clean up counter file

Hi,

if using FSCounter it's possible for user Anonymous to clean up the
counter's file with an easy:

	http://yourdomain.de/counterobject/write/count=crashme

Now the counter file on server's filesystem is empty and FSCounter's
"read" method breaks with "ValueError: invalid literal for int()". 

On most websites FSCounter instances are just called "counter" or
"Counter" and placed in the root folder. So it's a secound to reset the
counter and in some cases this crash the front site too if the counter
object is called without a dtml-try tag.

a short fix:

change write method to:

    def write(self):
        ''' increment file '''
	count = 1
        value = self.read()
        outfile = open(str(Globals.data_dir) + os.sep +
str(self.filename), 'wb')
        outfile.write(str(value + count))
        outfile.close()
        return int(value + count)

and increase method to:

    def increase(self, REQUEST=None):
        ''' increase '''
        return self.write()

Bye
Marcus
