Akismet's good, but still...

Why Zope popup login when I click "Add Postings" in Squishdot

I'm new with Squishdot. After I setup a SquishSite, I want to add a posting as Anonymous role, but SquishSite will popup the login dialog. If I cancel the dialog I got following error message : Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access 'suggest_author' in this context I've investgated the source code (SquishSite.py) and found that : security.setPermissionDefault(AddPostings, ('Anonymous','Manager',)) security.declareProtected(AddPostings, 'suggest_author') def suggest_author(self): ... I think there should have no problem for Anonymous users to access the suggest_author method without explicitly grant AddPosints permission to Anonymous role in the "security" tab. So I wondered what's the problem?

Spam from Avangate.com?

Posted by Chris Withers on Monday March 12, @02:45PM
from the why-are-they-doing-this? dept.
Has anyone else had their blogs spammed by a company called Avangate BV? (www.avangate.com)

Looks like these guys are pretty evil, a quick google refers to a tonne of spam they've tried to have posted on various blogs that have little to do with the subject matter they're spamming on...

I'd certainly be interested to hear from people who've had similar problems with this organisation.

Here Is A DTML Method For Squishdot Which Produces An Atom 1.0 Feed

Posted by Jonathan Mark on Friday February 09, @11:39PM
from the Time to upgrade to a modern syndication method dept.
Here is a DTML method called posting_xml. If you place it in the same directory as your Squishdot 1.5 index_html page it will produce an Atom 1.0 feed. It will display the same articles as index_html does.

I tested it on Zope 2.62 but it should work anywhere.

email notification

Posted by Hans Then on Friday November 03, @04:48PM
from the dept.
I would like to add an e-mail notification system so that when a new article is posted, a notification message is sent to a mailing list. How can I do this? Can I plugin a python method somewhere just after a posting is succesfully added? Or do I need to edit the product code? Thanks in advance, Hans

Some of my efforts to abate the amount of spam that I have to moderate off squishdot.org unfortunately resulted in posting attempts resulting in unauthorized beign raised. All fixed now though...

from the muppet dept.
My Squishdot instance at jonathanmark.com/Blog slows at 3000 postings. Is there a nonscalable section of the Squishsite.py code?

Posted by John S Wolter on Wednesday September 06, @05:19PM
from the Need password access to site and more... dept.
I have it from rumor that Squishdot could be placed within Plone or CMF to gain access control and other features. Is there any truth to this rumor or is there another approach to this...
