So I am working for this professor, and he wants a temporary file drop location for students to put their class assignments on the server. I say: Zope. (of course). No worrying about network protocols. Accessible from anywhere there is a browser, secure, etc, etc. Plus, removing the users and files later on would be just a few clicks... Magic! I set the professor up as Manager of a Zope folder, and under that folder, I set-up some folders for the students. They have individual Manager rights in their subfolders, so all they have to do is upload their files, and all I have to do is put together a few lines of DTML making appropriate links in a document in the upper folder to nicely display the files in the student folders. The problem is that once a student has logged in as Manager of a subfolder and added their files, they cannot view the public interface in the professor's folder until they quit and restart the web browser. By logging in as a manager of a subfolder, they lose rights to view stuff they could view "anonymous"-ly. This is with Zope-1.10.3b1, but 2.0a3 seems to have the same behavior. I had never noticed this before. Then again, I am always using Zope as Manager from the top level. or purely anonymously. Anyway, this could be a word of warning for similar situations or a bug report or a request for suggestions how I could have done this better. I can't decide, so I thought I would just tell the story. Regards, -- Jim Washington
