Plone

Hi,

 

I am trying to get files to be automatically uploaded as ExFiles via webdav
and I'm having a slight bit of problem. 

 

I set up webdav and have it correctly uploadeing documents such as pdf,
word, xls, and zip as ExFiles and indexing them, but for some strange reason
the title of the document is not being appropriately saved. When you go to
view the ExFile in place of the document title it says "<fdopen>". Also, I
have been noticing that the ExFiles are being indexed only part of the time.
Some of the files I upload are indexed fine and others aren't indexed at all
(all the test files are pdfs).

 

I am running Plone 2.1.2, with ExFile 3.2.3. AttachmentField 1.3.3

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all,

I am experimenting with Plone 2.5 and the PAS goodness that it comes with b=
y
attempting to get the LDAP plug-in working, but I think that I might have
missed something along the way, as I do not see the products installed once
I have restarted Zope.

I am installing all of this on a windows machine and since the windows
installer for 2.5 isn't up yet, I thought that I would give it a try
installing the bits piece by piece. So here is the process I went through s=
o
if I missed anything someone can tell me (that or if I got it right, it
might help someone down the line):

1) Install Python 2.4.3 using the windows installer
2) Install Zope 2.92 using the windows installer
3) Create a Zope Instance (called Client0) and set it as a service to start
on start-up
3.5) Verify that Zope works. Everything is good, moving on.

4) Extract Plone 2.5 and move all of the folders to the
<Zope>/lib/python/Products folder, with <Zope> being my install of Zope, no=
t
the instance that I created.
5) Restart Zope from ZMI
6) At =E2=80=9CSite Root=E2=80=9D of ZMI, Add new Plone site from dropdown =
list.
6.5) Check to see if Plone is working on localhost:8080/PloneID. Everything
is good, moving on.

7) Download and install windows binaries of Python-LDAP 2.0.6 for python 2.=
4
at http://www.agescribs.org/mauro. (At this point I also downloaded and
installed PIL, or Python Imaging Library, from
http://effbot.org/downloads/#PIL, which I read was needed for some other
products that I am looking at using)
7.5) Test that the Python-LDAP is working by opening up my python
interpreter and typing =E2=80=9Cimport ldap=E2=80=9D. Everything is good, m=
oving on.
=20
8) Extract LDAPUserFolder ver 2.7 =E2=80=93beta (from
http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldapuserfolder) and move to
<Zope>/lib/python/Products folder, again this is not the instance.
9) Extract LDAPMultiPlugins ver. 1.2 (from
http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldapmultiplugins) and move to
<Zope>/lib/python/Products folder.
10) Restart Zope from ZMI. Everything is not good.

It is at this point where neither of these two products show up in my ZMI
Products area, nor do I see anything regarding LDAP on any dropdown lists
where I might add it to anything (like in PluggableAuthService =E2=80=9CCon=
tents=E2=80=9D
tab).

Did I miss a dependency or did I put the products in the wrong folder? Am I
just being dense?

Thanks for the help,
-dan

I'm having trouble importing new issues into the POI issue tracker.  We have
several issues compiled over the last few years in another application.  I'd
like to wrap these issues in XML and import into POI however the formatting
of an example export file seems unnecessarily long/complex.  Is there a way
to pare down the import/export format of the XML file to something more
workable?  Any other hints on how to import new issues to the POI tracker?

Thanks, Emmanuel! I'll search around for more information on that.

Andy,

Your post suggests commenting out a few lines of code, that I understand is
checking whether the user has the right or not to send email to the group. But,
as I said in the reply thread, I am not receiving this error.

Is this a bug in the product? Or only a feature not yet implemented?

Best regards,
Gusti.

I have the following rewrite rules for apache. The intent is all urls that
have http://myhost/z2 in them will be redirected/rewritten by apache to the
zope instance running on local host.

RewriteRule ^/z2/(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:9080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80
/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]

RewriteRule ^/z2dav/(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:9081/VirtualHostBase/https/%{HTTP_HOST
}:443/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]

RewriteRule ^/login_form(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/login_form$1 [NE,L]

There is something that I've left out becuase any attempts to view the plon=
e
site through apache are 'messed up', ie the graphics, fonts, style sheets,
etc, are not included in the web page. Only some of the content in rendered
in the browser. However, when I open the url http://127.0.0.1:9080/ the zop=
e
and plone site all works.

any hints on a rule I've left out?

What's the difference between private knowledge and public knowledge?

Hello,

I did not realize that gpg was optional. I left it blank in the  
formMailer setup dialogue and the form now works. Thank you for your  
direction! You have no idea how difficult the entire form process has  
been for me - you can find a number of posts to this list regarding  
"how-to forms".

FTP is quite a complex protocol.
Especially, there are two modes: active and passive mode.

Maybe, PHP does something wrong or say, different from how Zope
expects it.

A TCP logger may be used (e.g. Etherreal) to analyse the difference
between Python and PHP access. This may give a hint on how to solve
the problem.

About 5 GB of documents is not really worrying -- however, individual
documents of this size would.

An earlier version of TextIndexNG3 used suboptimal data structures
with potentially bad runtime and transaction sizes in the case
of large numbers of documents.

Andreas fixed this in his latest TextIndexNG3 version (from a few days
ago).

Subject: Host Alias/ ZODB objects
To: plone-users <plone-users@...>

 2 Questions for the group:

1. We have recently obtained an alias for the host on which our Plone
application is running.  If I wish for my site URL to be the same as the
     host alias, how would I do this?  Would I need to change all host
configuration names in Zope?

2.  Is there any way to see objects contained within ZODB from the OS
command line?  I know about NetDrive, WebDav clients, etc., but is there an=
y
      way to do this from soley the CMD line window?

Thanks!

Yes, in principle.

I do not know why it does (should) not work for you.
What happens precisely?

Check your "error_log" object whether it contains any exception
related to this failure.

If not, use a TCP logger (e.g. Etherreal or "tcpwatch") to
analyse the conversation between client and server.

Are there any products available for storing objects externally on the a
Suse Linux server and
accessing them through Plone while maintaining "first class" citizen
treatment- files can be edited, etc
through WebDav?  Can such a product integrate/reference objects in an
externally stored DB?

My group is about to go live using Plone as content management tool, but we
are currently storing objects (Excel, Word, PDFs, images)
in ZODB structure.  I am concerned about the potential for losing critical
documentation in the "black hole" of ZODB, and being
unable to recover.

Thanks
Brad

We're currently trying to rename the "Sharing" tab for documents on
our site to say "Local Roles", in order to make it more intuitive what
that tab is for.  I know I can change the text through the ZMI by
going to portal_types and manually changing the actions for each
different content type, but is there a way to do it programmatically
by looping through the TypeInformation objects?

you can specify an "after script" for any transition, which will be 
executed after the transition has taken place.  it would be no problem 
to programmatically move something in a script.  you might consider 
defining the workflow script as an external method so as not to have to 
wrestle overmuch w/ security sandbox issues.

I recently dealt with something similar, if I'm understanding you correctly.

Here's my understanding...

Are you setting the acquire:permissions in a metadata file?

I found that the metadata file security checks permissions based on the 
users roles/permissions on the site root object.  For this reason I only 
use them to ensure a user is Authenticated.

To get security to check on the local object (ie. if a users has ..say 
Manager local role) then you'll need to add something like..

tal:condition="python: mtool.checkPermission('Manage portal', context)"

..within the template, usually I place this in the main <div>

the result is that a user can hack the URL and open the template but if 
they don't have local Manager role they get a blank page.

maybe that helps?  or at least generates a correct response :)

take a look at the _changePortalTypeName method available in 
Products/ATContentTypes/tool/migration.py.  this method is available on 
the portal_atct tool in an instantiated site.

this is driven by the "implicitly addable" checkbox for each type in the 
portal_types tool.  if you're managing this progammatically, this is set 
w/ the 'global_allow' flag, either on the type class (if you're using 
AT's FTI generation mechanisms) or in the type's XML description (if 
you're using GenericSetup).
