Re: [Zope-dev] cut/paste catalogue aware zclass instances still broken in 2.20?
I had this problem with 2.1.6, but it seems to fix itself with 2.2.0. I think you must be having a different problem. The problem with 2.1.6 was to do with the copying of objects to the clipboard. You were not able to call absolute_url() on an object in the clipboard, and that cause problems when cutting and pasting catalog aware classes since the index in the catalog is done by the absolute url and so when unindexing, absolute_url() is called. However, the clipboard stuff has changed in 2.2.0 and the problem seems to have been fixed as far as I can tell. terry "Dr. Ross Lazarus" wrote: Has anyone else noticed a problem with pasting cut or copied catalogue-aware zclass instances?

Re: [Zope-dev] ENHANCED PATCH: Expanded access file
I've further enhanced yesterday's patch with the following additions:
* "Short-circuit evaluation" of local roles in User.getRolesInContext().
This speeds up security evaluation for complex DTML by stopping the local
role search as soon as one of the desired roles is found. The change is
fully backward compatible with any other usage of getRolesInContext()
(although there *arent'* any other usages in the Zope core). (Note: this
change also prevents infinite recursion of local roles lookup when the
local roles are provided by a ZPatterns attribute provider which is owned
by a user who has the necessary roles to compute local roles.)
* Encapsulation fix. The current version of Zope directly accesses
__ac_local_roles__ when checking access rights, which negates any ability
for Zope objects to provide rule-based local roles without computing all
possible roles for all possible users.
* Added "get_local_roles_for_user()" method to
AccessControl.Role.RoleManager that works with a user object, rather than a
user name. This is to allow objects to supply computed local roles using
attributes of the user as part of their decision process. An object need
only implement get_local_roles_for_user(user,roles) to carry this out.
These additions, in conjunction with the ability to add more users to the
"access" file, will allow ZPatterns and LoginManager to do without
'unownedness' and other convoluted alterations of the Zope security model.
They will also make it possible to add local role plugins to ZPatterns.
This is somewhat more tested than yesterday's variant of the patch,
although I have not found any bugs in what I posted yesterday. The post
itself was flawed, however; this time I'm attaching it as a file in the
hopes of preventing that happening again.
If there are no comments/questions/feedback on it, I'd like to go ahead and
submit it to the Collector for inclusion in Zope CVS; as it will make
continued development of ZPatterns and LoginManager much cleaner and in
full compliance with the 2.2 security model.
As I move further into the development of local role plugin support for
ZPatterns, I may have additional patches to suggest, as there are some
other encapsulation/interface issues with the "get_local_roles()" method as
currently used/implemented in Zope. Most likely, there needs to be a
"get_users_with_local_role()" method for those uses, leaving
"get_local_roles()" to mean "get *editable* local roles". Also,
ObjectManager still inspects __ac_local_roles__ rather than going through
an interface to set the initial owner role of an object. Personally, I
think this should be done by one of the many other after-add type calls
such as manage_afterAdd or manage_fixupOwnershipAfterAdd, etc., but
backward compatibility for that would be tricky.
Patch follows.

[Zope-dev] DateTime.py
There's a problem with strftime() in DateTime.py.
Try this DTML method to see:
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-let time1="_.DateTime('2000/07/23 BST')"
Time: dtml-var time1 br
Time: dtml-var time1 fmt=Date br
Time: dtml-var time1 fmt="DayOfWeek" br
Bad Time: dtml-var time1 fmt="%a, %d %B %Y %Z" br
Time: dtml-var "time1.fCommonZ()" br
/dtml-let
dtml-let time1="_.DateTime('2000/07/23 GMT')"
Time: dtml-var time1 br
Time: dtml-var time1 fmt=Date br
Time: dtml-var time1 fmt="DayOfWeek" br
Time: dtml-var time1 fmt="%a, %d %B %Y %Z" br
Time: dtml-var "time1.fCommonZ()" br
/dtml-let
dtml-var standard_html_footer
Note that the time given in the line "Bad Time:" above is actually wrong
-- it reports itself to be in GMT, but gives the time as one hour
behind.
If you specify a date as /MM/DD, then the date that is stored is
(quite reasonably) midnight on that day, in your timezone.
This gets rendered back into days correctly for methods such as
DateTime.day(), as these methods directly ask the DateTime instance for
what it thinks the day is. The instance replies in the context of its
own timezone (as given in the constructor, or the local timezone if none
was given), and so it returns the expected result.
If you use the strftime() method, by using fmt="%d %H %Z" or whatever,
instead of asking the DateTime instance to do the formatting, the
formatting is delegated to the Python time module.
Unfortunately, at any particular time, the Python "time" module only
knows about two timezones: Your local one (with and without daylight
savings) and GMT.
Therefore, in any other timezones, Pythons time.strftime() cannot
correctly render the time.
This is particularly apparent in the current DateTime.py, because its
strftime method just interprets the internal representation of the time
as GMT, whatever.
We can fix this easily:
*** lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py Sun Jul 23 20:03:05 2000
--- lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.old.py Sun Jul 23 20:03:04 2000
***
*** 1376,1382
return millis
def strftime(self, format):
! return strftime(format, gmtime(self.toZone('GMT').timeTime()))
# General formats from previous DateTime
def Date(self):
--- 1376,1382
return millis
def strftime(self, format):
! return strftime(format, gmtime(self.timeTime()))
# General formats from previous DateTime
def Date(self):
Now, at least, the time will be reported correctly, although not really
usefully if you want to have the time formatted in the timezone given to
the DateTime instance.
Also, this patch will cause formatting calls to create a new DateTime
instance if the instance you want to format is not in timezone GMT+0.
The only general solution that I can see is to replicate the formatting
algorithms of the time module in DateTime.py, but written so that they
take account of timezones.
There is another issue:
When I call _.DateTime('2000-07-23'), what do I mean?
The current implementation of DateTime interprets that as "midnight (the
earliest possible time) on 2000-07-23, interpreted in the local
timezone".
However, if I'm being naive, I might think that I'm refering to a Day,
and that the Day should be the same day no matter what timezone I put it
into.
In that case, the DateTime module needs rewriting to have a sense of
precision built into it: If I specify a time to the day, I get the
latter behaviour. If I specify the time more precisely, I get the
current behaviour.
Another approach would be to make _.DateTime('2000-07-23') mean Midday,
GMT rather than Midnight, local time. That would give the latter
behaviour for most timezones at most times; the exceptions being places
near the international date line that are in daylight savings time.

In brief, though -- and hopefuly clearer this time:
If you format DateTimes using strftime (that is, fmt="%d %m" and so
forth), you can only have the time rendered in GMT.
This is confising the counter-intuitive, as the internal timezone of the
DateTime instance is not preserved.
The only reasonable way around this is to reimplement the strftime
function of Python's time module in DateTime.py, but have it take
account of timezones.
As another issue, when you create a new DateTime instance with
_.DateTime('-MM-DD'), the actual time stored is midnight in your
local timezone. A more useful default time would be midday, GMT. This
shouldn't break much code, as the current behaviour isn't well
documented and is arguably broken anyway.

[Zope] Announce: WiFLZ Simple Widget Framework for Zope
Greetings once again, This is the start of the Widget Framework for Zope. http://www.zope.org/Members/TheJester/WiFLZ/ It's an attempt at building something for re-use slightly more cohesive than methods and documents, and slightly less cohesive than Products and ZClasses. README Excerpt: WiFLZ is a dtml widget framework for Zope. If you are a programmer, you will probably hate it. It's not called ZWiFL because I was sick of things starting with Z d8) Summary === o Widgets consist of; - header, body, and footer dtml, - optional arguments for the dtml template, - sql query, - optional arguments for the sql template, and - description field for built-in 'help' facility. o Widgets can be tested from the management interface. o Widgets can be ZODB backed, DB backed, or both. o Widgets can be optionally rendered to a DB effectively caching widget states, which is useful for slow changing, or time consuming things such as reports. o Cached Widgets have a configurable TTL. o DB Backed widgets can be grouped into different libraries, and can be called from specific libraries allowing test widgets to be setup without compromising production widgets. o DB Backed widgets can be edited from any Zope installation with access to the DB. Purpose === This is part of a broader system for site design still under development. Zope currently lacks a mid level 'reuse' facility, reuse is limited to very fine grained (individual methods, and documents), or very coarse grained (products) elements. Content managers also like to be able to 'build' components that can be used in different parts of the site, and they like to be able to 'hold' those components. This system does not remove the ability to have fine grained reuse, as all of the dtml stored is resolved, so any methods you have developed can be used in a widget (e.g. incorporating ZBabel translations into widgets). -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068|[EMAIL PROTECTED]| ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

This works without a problem if you're writing Python products, but there are some difficulties if you want to have two ZClasses with the same name. We can do a short experiment using ZClasses to check this. I'm using 2.2 final. First of all, install the patch I posted to the Zope list last night. That is, with lib/python/OFS/main.dtml at line 98 change this: dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name OPTION value="dtml-var action fmt="url-quote""dtml-var name /dtml-in to this: dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name OPTION value="dtml-var action fmt="url-quote"" dtml-var product missing:dtml-var name /dtml-in Next, create a new Product from the management interface. Let's call it "TheClash". You can add a ZClass called DTMLDocument, meta-type "DTML Document" with no problem. In the Product "TheClash", create a new ZClass called "Casbah". Keep the box "create constructor objects?" checked, but don't worry about adding any base-classes. Now, create another new Procduct called "Morocco". Within it, create a new ZClass "Casbah". If you leave the box "create constructor objects?" checked, you'll find that creating the class fails with an error: "The permission Add Casbahs is already defined." However, you can create a ZClass "Casbah" in product "Morocco" if you uncheck the box "create constructor objects?". This isn't too much of a problem because it is easy to create our own custom permissions for ZObject constructors. I won't bother doing that now. We can borrow the other Casbah's permissions if we need to. The new "Morocco: Casbah" won't show up in the "add" list yet, because there is no Factory for it. Let's create a Factory in the Product "Morocco", with id "Casbah_factory", title "Casbah factory". For now, it doesn't matter what "Initial method" is set to. Leaving it as "Help" will be ok for the purposes of this exercise. The problem comes with what we put in the "add list name" field. If we put in "Casbah", we get an error "The type Casbah is already defined". We can put in "Casbah2" though, and that works. Of course, is isn't practical if you simply want to use someone else's Product on your Zope installation, and you already have a ZClass meta-type defined that clashes with one in the new Product. I just peeked at the source for this system (lib/python/App/ProductRegistry.py, line 130 or thereabouts). The Product Registry seems to add new meta-types based on the meta-type alone, whereas they should be organised by a (product, meta-type) tuple. This would fit with the way product constructors are called, for example: "manage_addProduct/Morocco/Casbah_factory". I won't produce a patch for this just now, as I'm not sure what other parts of Zope are dependent on the current behaviour of not allowing meta-type clashes in ZClasses. I do not think it would be hard to improve the current behaviour. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

This is annoying if you are writing a user-managed content method that does not wants the user to see the manage interface because eventually it goes to one with such returns. Instead, I would like to have control on where he/she returns (often to the method I wrote or to index_html). I could do a dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect..., but the return self.manage_editedDialog(REQUEST) gets in the way. Am I overlooking something or is this a weakness in this design pattern for management? I could wind up making my own version of manage_editData that does not do the return self.manage_editedDialog(REQUEST). (I know some code at least conditionalizes this to the presence of REQUEST.) Many methods use: if REQUEST is not None: do something: e.g. redirect or return In this case, you simply do not pass REQUEST. If you find a method that is not conditional on "REQUEST", use "dtml-call". This will discard the return value and should work, unless the code raises an exception. Maybe "try/except" can be used to handle the exception.

Take a look at http://python.faqts.com to get an idea on how the zope knowledge base could be developed, it has taken me two months to get the python knowledge base to the level it is at now, more than 700 questions with answers. I'm developing the python list be summarizing the newsgroup daily, for zope I'm intending on also working on this daily. I had a major project which I finished about 2 hours ago :-) ... as a relief I decided to start on the zope work, where I've found your mail. I'm not interested in creating something in direct opposition to what you are suggesting. Is there some way that we could work on this together, either together creating zope.faqts.com or my helping with http://www.zope.org/Members/runyaga/ZopeFAQs/FrontPage ? Things I like about FAQTs - the hierarchy of folders (information) - the ability to create folders and arrange content - the possibility to edit answers and maintain a version history - the admin stuff (for sending out summaries back to the mailing list) - ability to search questions and answers (works really well) This work I am doing 'off my own bat', FAQTs does pay me for python but _not_ zope, so I am able to do it somewhere else. Because I already have a mode of working off the FAQTs site it seemed reasonable to start the zope knowledge base off that site. But, mails like yours make me think about fragmenting resources and how useless that is, especially now when it seems resources are limited. Now, before I get too far into it, I want to make sure I've made the right decision... I don't want to compete with zdp.zope.org or with what you are suggesting. So, I want to help but where? Could we help each other: share questions and answers for all locations? Therefore taking advantage of the different features of the different sites? Is that a ridiculous suggestion? Perhaps initially it would work ... later re-assess? Otherwise, I'll work off whichever site the community would prefer... so community, please respond :-) Thanks, Fiona ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] new LocalFS version 0.9.5
It's been a while since the last LocalFS release. I wanted to fix a couple of major issues for the next release but I'm a little stuck. I decided to post a minor bug fix release instead. This release fixes the following issues. - Fixed bobobase_modification_time. - Fixed cross-platform bug calculating object id in manage_upload. - Added optional 'id' parameter to manage_upload to allow the caller to specify the new object id. - Added optional 'action' parameter to manage_upload to allow redirecting somewhere other than the default 'manage_workspace'. It is available at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS I've also posted my to do list at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS/todo So now you can see what I'm working on and what I've done for the next release at any given time. Enjoy! --jfarr ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] REQUEST a string object?
Arrggh! I'm getting very frustrated trying to accomplish something that should
be easy. I'm stepping through all of the files in a LocalFS directory, and I
want to dynamically create a table that displays all of the sub-directories
of the current directory. I want to inject a "/trtr" every so often, so I
need to count the number of directories I've found so far to see whether I need
to start a new row or not.
I've spent a few hours digging through the list archives, so I know that
creating a manually managed counter variable is not a straightforward affair.
Here's the code that I have:
table
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ctr', 0)"
dtml-in "fileValues(REQUEST.get('spec', _.None))"
dtml-if "type == 'directory'"
dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns == 0"
tr
/dtml-if
a href="dtml-var URL1/dtml-var url"dtml-var "id"/abr
dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns == num_dir_columns - 1"
/tr
/dtml-if
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ctr', _.int(ctr) + 1)"
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
dtml-comment In case we end in the middle of a row... /dtml-comment
dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns != 0"
/tr
/dtml-if
/table
The error I get, running Zope in debug mode, is this:
Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'set'
This is referring to the dtml-call line in the middle of the loop, the one
that actually does the incrementing. It thinks that REQUEST is a string, which
of course doesn't have a "set" attribute. I've been banging my head on this
all day and can't come up with an way to accomplish this trivial task. I don't
want to push this into Python; this is simple UI code, not business logic, so
it doesn't belong there. Besides, it's absurd to think that I would need to
write an external method or some other Python method to do something as simple
as this. (It may end up being true, but it's still absurd... ;-) )
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time,
rob

[Zope] zcatalog and squishdot newbie question
I have created a catalog and added my squishdot site to it. However, when I go to look at the catalog contents there are no squishdot articles listed (the suishdot site object is listed though). When I run a search for a keyword that I know is in the squishdot object, I get no matches (but do when I search for other non-squishdot keywords). I thought this may have something to do with running squishdot 3.1 so I upgraded to 4.1, reindexed and still nothing. What could be the problem? I heard somone say something about your catalog cataloging itself (mine does)- should it do this? I tried removing it but nothing. -- Sean Kelley ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] anyone seen browsers map '_' to '+AF8-' ?
We're seeing a really strange occasional error crop up in our web logs - periodic requests for an image with an _ in the name (e.g. hdr_left) get mutilated to hdr+AF8-left. Out of the last 400,000 requests, there's been about 110 of these errors. There appears to be nothing much in common in the requests, except that the browser is always a variant of IE 5.0 (not 5.01, 5.5, or 4.0, or anything else). IE 5.0 only makes up 35% of our hits, so it's unlikely to be just random chance. Ones we've seen with it: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95; DigExt; OZEMR1999V01) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95; ZDNetSL; DigExt) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt; Chariot) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt; TUCOWS) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt) Has anyone seen anything similar? I've searched the web, microsoft.com (ha), all to no avail. It's not a very common bug, but it's a significant proportion of the total errors on the site, so it'd be nice to nail it. ta, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's never too late to have a happy childhood. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] zcatalog and squishdot newbie question
i'm a bit of a newbie myself so take my advice with a grain of salt, but... you shouldn't need to create a Catlog and then put your Squishdot site in it. The main squishdot site *is* a Catalog, or has Catalog-like qualities. (i think). if you want to be able to search the Squishdot site *and* other stuff you should be able to select the Squishdot site as well as whatever other Catalogs you have when you add a Z Search Interface. hth Regards, GEORGE DONNELLY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cyklotron.com/ The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.
