[Zope] Zope for secure transactions?

2000-07-28 Thread Rajil Saraswat

hi everyone,
   i am looking out for the feasibility of developing a ecom portal over
zope. regarding this i have a few queries.
1. Can Zope support SSL or https?
2. Is there some way in Zope through which i can use secure transactions.
3. If Zope can run which Apache , can SSL be used?

Thanks
Rajil Saraswat

Re: [Zope] Patch to DateTime.py

2000-07-07 Thread Rajil Saraswat

Hi,
 I am a newbie to zope and squish. My squishdot starts giving errors after
midnight. the offending error is Unrecognised Time Zone in DateTime.py
I am on GMT+530(India). As i donot know python, can you please tell where
i should add this timezone in DateTime.py, so this problem is resolved.

Thanks

 Greetings,
 
   In my current project, I have to print a lot of dates.  Fine, not a 
 problem... _.DateTime().strftime() is just the method, right?
 
   Wrong.
 
   The people who want this site want the local time, not UTC+0 that strftime 
 enforces.
 
   So, I created a tiny patch which adds  _.DateTime().strfltime(), which works 
 identically, except it passes LOCALTIME instead of GMTIME.
 
   It's tiny, it's simple, but it's REALLY HANDY!
 
 Have a better one,

night passed by the squish stopped running.

I am running zope on MandrakeLinux7.1, is the time on the system got to
this or is this a squish problem.

 when i submit the form the print page is outputted but the value of the
 textbox(valname) is not outputted. whats wrong?
 
 Um, perhaps a stupid question, but since you are talking about files - is
 this a Zope object that is in the Zope object database or is it a file that
 is on your file system? If the last, it will not work. Zope keeps it's
 objects (files) in it's own database, the ZODB. It is
 zopehome/var/data.fs. You can't read it directly, it is an object database

No these are not files but objects in the database.

 
 
 
 another thing i havent understood is that zope.org is running on zope,
 then why they donot have url based on 8080. if they are using pcgi then
 the url must have been http://zope.org/zope.cgi/index_html   isnt this so?
 
 No, apache let's you circumvent this.
 
 
 i also want my url to be simply on http://localhost, what do i need to do
 for this.
 
  Zope has it's built in webserver, called ZServer. It will run on any port,
 as long as you have the right privileges. If you want to change the port,
 change zopehome/z2.py It is heavily commented. Look for the http port
 section, it shouldn't be a problem.
 
 Rik
 
 
if i donot run the httpd but run only the Zserver then http://localhost
will work?

[Zope] zope not authorizing

2000-07-02 Thread Rajil Saraswat

i installed the zope-pcgi rpm file. the default user is superuser and
password is 123. but when i give these values in the prompt, the software
does not authorize me. i also changed the access file in /var/zope using
zpasswd but still the login is not working. 
earlier i was using zserver and it was working fine, is there some problem
with pcgi, is there some changes to be made. i did all the changes as
given on the rpm page at zope.org(httpd file change)
however when i goto http://localhost/static the zope screen is not
displayed. but if i goto http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi then the
welcome screen comes. but i am not able to authorize myself at the
auth. prompt.
using pcgi what is the default object url, will it be
http://localhost/Zope.cgi/sample. if this is the case can we change it to
http://localhost/sample. 
basically i want the zope root to be located on http://localhost instead
of obscure url like http://localhost:8080 or
http://localhost/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi. This was the reason i wanted to try out
pcgi. can we do this.
please help!!

 hi ,
i had sent this message. may be some of you had overlooked it,so here it
is again. please answer to this, as it is very important for me to switch
to zope.

   
 
 1. Can zope do basic site management. for example missing link checks. say
 if we call an object which doesnt exist. can zope show us where we have
 gone wrong.(without actually checking each and every object manually)
 
 2. I have large number of small html documents(17,000). I want them to go
 in a database. can we automate this in zope to be uploaded it in the
 database.
 
 3. Say, i want to use a zope enable webiste on a non zope enabld server,
 so i need all the objects(e.g. html files) from the database to come out
 as files. can we do this(sort of Zope to non zope convertion)
 
 4. Which file do i need to upload to the isp end from the programmer
 end ,to make the site  work. If we have to upload a single database it
 will take a lot of time. is there any incremental upload facility
 available. i have only ftp access with my ISP.
 
 5. i need to build a directory like site somewhat like yahoo!, is there
 any toolkit available for it in zope.
 
 Thanks

RE: [Zope] newbie changingover to zope from html/cgi??

2000-06-17 Thread Rajil Saraswat

can i replace javascript with python/DTML. I have used drop down menus in
the pages using javascript. Is these available in Zope or is there some
way of using these.
Is there some book released on zope/DTML for reference. 
Does this mean a complete rewrite of the code is required of all the
javascript and cgi files , or is there some method to convert them to
DTML.
Thanks

 You would have to re-write the scripts, using DTML/Python as appropriate.  The HTML 
remains the
 same.
 
   Do i need to have zope on the ISP for my zope website to run.
 
 Yes.
 
   I only have ftp access on my ISP. Which files should i transfer so that
   the zope application works. btw i couldnot locate the files/database on my
   system about the webiste i am building. where is the database for the

 You will definitely need an ISP that provides Zope support before you can do this.  
The Zope
 database is normally:
 
 your Zope root/var/Data.fs
 
   I donot know python but do know perl, can i add modules to zope in perl.
 
 There are plans to provide Perl support, but this is for the future.  For the moment 
learn Python -
 if you already know Perl then it will be straightforward, since they cover similar 
territory.
 Python has some advantages over Perl, particularly for larger development works.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 Richard
