Better yet, it should just display a warning (and change its icon/title
or so) to display the problem and let the user decide the action to 
take.

That's an excellent idea, and one that I would +1 on all branches ;)

That will work, and I don't see a need to deprecate it.
Eventually, though, I expect products to migrate to
ZCML-based security declarations.

Is this a general trend for Zope 2? I'd rather see Zope 2 kinda avoid ZCML if 
possible. It's just one of those personal preference things, I suppose, but I 
know I'm not the only one who isn't that enamored of the ZCML approach. I 
actually like having the declarations all in the python code like it is in 
Zope 2.
As I said, I don't see a need to deprecate the Zope 2 style in this case.
I think that most people who've tried it find they prefer having the
security declarations separate.  This is more compelling for Zope 3 code, which
tends to have less Zope-isms to begin with,

I'd like to see the declarative style that Zope 2 move to using decorators. I 
was sitting in a presentation at PyCon talking about MetaClasses, and I 
finally *got* them. I realised that the security declarations in Zope 2 are a 
perfect fit for metaclasses and decorators. If only I had the time to 
actually implement this dream ;)
I don't see any use for metaclasses in making security declarations.
For me, metaclasses (like proxies) are deep and powerful magic that
should only be used when they are realy needed.
Note that this all comes from the perspective of someone whose only exposure 
to Zope 3 has been through two sprints. I've not actually tried to develop 
any sort of application using it. My day job is very firmly fixed in Zope 2, 
and isn't likely to change for a long time. So I'm definitely speaking from 
ignorance of real-world application development in Zope 3.
Fair enough.

[Zope-dev] [Zope 2.8] Inclusion of ExtendedPathIndex?

2005-04-07 Thread Andreas Jung
I wonder if it is of public interest to include the ExtendedPathIndex from 
Plone in Zope 2.8.
It offers some the nice extension  to limit the depth of the search and 
improves building navigation-trees
or similar structures. Opinions?

I doubt many folks on this list know the code that well.  Are you
thinking to lift the features you mention, making them part of the
regular PathIndex?   Also, what is the IP status of the code?

[Zope-dev] Re: SiteRoot and VHM

2005-04-07 Thread Laurence Rowe
-1 for removing it. I think it's a cool feature :-)
I like the ability to use a 'blank' SiteRoot (one with a blank base and 
path) in conjunction with an access rule to set request variables when I 
access my site in through a particular point (eg set the plone_skin 
variable when I access my site through /admin or force a particular 
language when I access my site through /language-name). This is in 
addition to using VHM and apache rewrite rules in the standard way.

I guess this could be done with more complicated rewrite rules but then 
I become dependent on accessing the site trough apache and lose some 
flexibility.

+1 if it's a separate new index (don't change the existing PathIndex).

Does it provide a way of cataloging the ordering of children? Otherwise
I don't see how you can build navigation tree using it (unless you don't
care about ordering of course).

The Five integration philosophy at least, is that it makes use of ZCML 
*possible* in Zope 2, but not at all mandatory. Five tries to mess with
the innards of Zope 2 as much as possible, because it's complicated 
enough to add Zope 3 to Zope 2 already; we don't want to worry about 
changing Zope 2 (or Zope 3).

Zope 2.9 has traditionally been seen as a version of Zope 2 where the 
innards *will* change to integrate deeper into Zope 3. Five's philosophy 
makes it impossible to do certain kinds of Zope 3 integration with Zope 
2, such as security in particular. Though in fact I'm surprised how much 
*is* already possible given the limitations Five has; I think that's an 
interesting finding.

Anyway, you might want to give Five a spin one day. Perhaps you'll 
change your mind about ZCML. Five introduces Zope 3 concepts more 
gradually to the Zope 2 hacker than Zope 3 itself, so it may be less 
overwhelming; Zope 3 certainly sometimes tends to overwhelm me, still.

It extends the PathIndex and has a different behaviour. So making the 
functionality part
of the existing PathIndex would break the exisiting behaviour therefore it 
should be included
as second path index. The license is BSD or ZPL but not GPL  :-)

It's is theoretically possible, but not really worth the effort.
I'll note that ZCML has gotten progressively simpler over the years.
It continues to get simpler.  For example, now that we we can say more
about adapters in Python, a typical adapter registration looks like:
  
Also, for various reasons, ZCML took on implementation capabilities.
We're looking at ways to move that implementation capability
back into Python, where it belongs, which will make page definition
easier.  I expect that page definitions in the future will look more
like:

'flexibility'.

From http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2/vhosting
"""
If a SiteRooted folder is ever accessed through URLs with a base or path 
that does not get rewritten to match the Base and Path of the SiteRoot, 
you should make the SiteRoot's Base and Path blank and dynamically 
create SiteRootPATH/SiteRootBASE variables. For example, if you made a

should contain something like .

Without the blank site root you lose the flexibility of these methods 
working when the site is not being virtual hosted, which is quite handy 
while developing.

ZCML started out for me (and as an experinced zope2 programmer I guess
the experience may not be that unusual) as "ooh, my, lots to learn,
why is it that complex"? Then it becames "oh, it's a consistent way of
doing all those thinks that weren't very pythonic, like defining page
templates", and then finally I grasped it with "ah, it's really the
best parts of aspect orientation; you make all these separate modules,
and you tie them together with ZCML!"

Like XML or not, the approach of moving this type of meta-information
to ZCML rocks.

You know the feeling when a third party product has the wrong
permission or no permission at all on something? What are you gonna
do? Subclass: Lots of work. Patch: You gotta keep it updated. With
ZCML, you override it. TADA!
