Clarification: I am trying to access a Plone application that we are developing logged in as a user. The application uses an acl_users folder and Plone's standard logout/login page. At the same time I want a ZMI window open logged in as me, an owner of the whole Zope instance, not just the plone site. It seems to be possible to have 2 ZMI windows open logged in as different people but not a ZMI window and a window on the Plone application.

Any more instances that are started just start - it never asks for the profile. Trying to switch profiles whilst there are 2 instances open just results in both being closed and one window opened to the home page of the profile that I'm switcing to. Any more ideas? -----Original Message----- From: J Cameron Cooper [mailto:jccooper@jcameroncooper.com] Sent: Wednesday, 28 January 2004 12:40 PM To: Tim Edwards Cc: 'zope@zope.org' Subject: Re: [Zope] Using Mozilla with Zope Tim Edwards wrote:

I am trying to switch to Mozilla due to IE6 being extremely buggy, especially when working through proxy servers. We are currently developing a Zope/Plone application which uses standard Zope authentication using an acl_users folder. To test this application I need to open a browser window onto it, loged-in as a user, however at the same time I also need to have another browser window open onto the ZMI logged in as a manager user so that I can edit the Scripts/ZPTs.

Doing this in IE6 is simply a matter of starting up 2 intances of it (ie. Not clicking File->New->Window to open the 2nd window). This seems to keep the authentication info. seperate.

I realise that this is a bit off-topic as it is more of a general web-browser question but I was hoping that some Zope users have had some experience using Mozilla during application development.

I usually use a Mozilla instance and a Mozilla Firebird instance (or sometimes even throw Konquerer in on the ZMI task). Mozilla can have two instances going at the same time if you have two different profiles: see the Profile Manager. You can either always start Mozilla that way, or (I think) it'll give you a choice when you try to start a second time. I recall that the Windows installer makes an icon for the Profile Manager. On the command line you can just throw a '-ProfileManager' flag on. I don't know if Mozilla's issues with multiple instances for the same profile are intrinsic or a feature. --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
