Yes I agree, however the contact address provided below comes back as dead. I was working through the plone book and its one of the referenced applications and one that I need to currently to test file system access and import for plone site that I want to build as part of a doc management solution for another gpl project that I participate with as an editor for documentation. Posted to the plone list and to date no response yet. See: http://zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile Alternatively, what are the current preferred methods for including file system data. ExtFile is a bit weak in that regard and I am currently trying to track down revision control methods as well that are preferred or recommended with zope/plone. ExternalFile seems to be the precussor for several efforts. So I am kinda stuck..:) Thanks for the advise however.. Regards /ch

hi all, i had the same problem as the first poster but the solution does not work for me the error comes from this additional line in 'create.pt' <tal:work define="global ef modules/Products/ExternalFile" /> it still produces a 'not authorized' the complete traceback reads as follows - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Two (late) solutions:

1) If you don't need the batch addition support, just comment out the section of create.pt that calls gethostname and the whole div that supports batch addition.

2) If you're more adventurous, add to __init__.py security declarations to make the needed module functions public. The code will look like:

from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo

ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('gethostname') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('illegalCharsAsString') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedDirNamesAsString') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedDirPrefixesAsStrin g') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedDirSuffixesAsStrin g') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedFileNamesAsString' ) ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedFilePrefixesAsStri ng') ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').declarePublic('omittedFileSuffixesAsStri ng')

ModuleSecurityInfo('ExternalFile').apply(globals())

Then, in www/create.pt, add a line like:

<tal:work define="global ef modules/Products/ExternalFile" />

change

tal:content="container/gethostname"

to

tal:content="ef/gethostname"

and ALL the code like:

tal:attributes="value container/illegalCharsAsString"

to

tal:attributes="value python: ef.illegalCharsAsString(container)"

If you don't want to mess with the security declarations, you could also just edit www/create.pt to remove the section that prints the hostname and all the "tal:attributes..." that supply default values in the batch section.

Greets;

Testing externalFile from collective cvs consistantly gives the following error upon creating an instance, regardless of user that starts the zope process.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
