[Zope] What is the best way to do this?
Hello zope-masters, I humbly ask your advice on several matters. I am making an internal website for a statewide student activist group with many members. It will hopefully feature discussion boards, a contact database, and a calendar of events. I want to make the users of the site part of the contact database, so that an entry in the database (a name, phone number, etc.) can be easily "promoted" into a user with a password and varying priveliges based on his/her role (volunteer, core member, board chair, etc.) Another feature I want to include is regional specialization - each contact/user, calendar event, and forum has an associated "region" - statewide or a specific campus or something in between. That way a user's default view of the statewide calendar won't be cluttered by irrelevant events, and a search through the contact database would by default only return results pertaining to the user's region. I've tried building some custom zClasses but when things start to get complex the dtml code gets really messy, so I think I should use external methods to do most of the work. Basically I'd appreciate any advice on how to put these ideas into code or pointers to relevant documentation. I don't mean to sound like "here's my very complicated plan, write the code for me", I just need some tips on how to get started.

Re: [Zope] Multiple virtual hosts and domains

I would like very much that someone with a successful siteaccess instalation
in a real production site could get in touch with me and try to get this
working.
I just recently asked this question and got it to work. This setup
works if you have several subdomains 'sitea.domain.tld' and
'siteb.domain.tld' etc. It may have to be modified to work with other
setups - don't ask me how!
- create folders sitea, siteb, and so on in your root zodb directory
- put a siteroot in each folder, leaving all fields except name blank
- make a dtml method in the root directory called virtual_hosts or
something, consisting of the following script:
dtml-comment
Get subdomain:
/dtml-comment
dtml-let
hostname="_.string.join(_.string.split(_.string.split(HTTP_HOST,':')[0],
'.')[0], '')"
dtml-comment
Is there a folder named as this subdomain?
/dtml-comment
dtml-try
dtml-if "[hostname]"
dtml-comment
Set logical root:
/dtml-comment
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('SiteRootPATH', '/')"
dtml-comment
Add physical root:
/dtml-comment
dtml-call "REQUEST.path.append(hostname)"
/dtml-if
dtml-except KeyError
dtml-call
"RESPONSE.redirect('http://www.domain.tld/site_not_found')"
/dtml-try
/dtml-let
- Create a Site Access Rule in the root folder and have it call this
method.
This should work, but don't ask me how (credit goes to Ethan Mindlace
Freeman, who gave me these instructions). Good luck!

[Zope] virtual hosts with ZServer
My apologies if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't figure it out from available documentation or list archives. I run a server for some student groups off a machine in my dorm and I'm teaching myself Zope (slowly). I deal with the dynamic IP address by using several *.penguinpowered.com domains. I would like to set up one or more virtual hosts such that http://host1.penguinpowered.com/ points to some folder in the Zope database. It seems this is possible using Set Access Rule and SiteRoot objects, but how? Any help is appreciated. I am now using plain zserver 2.1.6. -- Building highways to reduce traffic is like loosening your belt to reduce obesity. ___ 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 )
