dtml: "where am I? who am I?"

Is there a way for a method (dtml or python, whatever) to know its location? Say: foo (folder) +--- bar (folder) | +--- my_method (DTML|python method) +--- gee (folder) +--- index_html if gee/index_html calls my_method, it doesn't know it's inside ``bar'' so it messes up any relative URL it spits. The practical case where this is bothering me is the Banner product. The Banner objects reside inside a BannerFolder which does the banner rotation. But if some method/document not in the same folder as the BannerFolder calls it, the Banner objects will freak out (and not show an image). []s, |alo +---- -- I am Lalo of deB-org. You will be freed.

Moving load to client computers with Zope ?
by ZMARKVOSS＠aol.com 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

Hello: I am looking to host an engineering application over the Internet. I have investigated ZOPE and it seems to be the best solution for what I am trying to do ... but I have a question. The application would place a large load on a server if it had to run local for each current user ... Is it possible to have the users download Python modules to specified directories on their machines and then have ZOPE call these Python modules, do some calculations locally, and then transfer information back and forth between the user (remote browser) and the server. Could you point me in the correct direction for studying how to use Zope for a high load application server using the clients local computing power. Eventually I could (my current understanding) migrate the system to a ZEO type solution but that would require a good cash flow. Any advice you have in the matter would be appreciated: Mark Voss zmarkvoss(a)aol.com

This is a known bug in Mozilla, it's in their bugtracker. Someone posted this information to zope-dev a few days ago. > I've had the same problem in kfm, and in w3m (coolest text > browser around - > it supports tables and you can it with a mouse!). I like w3m too, but its got this bug and others. It's not a bug in Zope, Zope computes the right hand frame based on the user auth and nothing else, if the browser doesn't send that with the frame as well as the frameset, then Zope can't compute it. -Michel

getting status variables
by Robin Becker 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

anyone know how I can get the effect of <ul> <li><em>Zope</em> version: <dtml-var "Control_Panel.version_txt()"> <li>Python version: <dtml-var "Control_Panel.sys_version()"> <li>System Platform: <dtml-var "Control_Panel.sys_platform()"> <li>Process ID: <dtml-var "Control_Panel.process_id"> (<dtml-var "Control_Panel.thread_get_ident()">) <li>Running for: <dtml-var "Control_Panel.process_time()"> </ul> without logging in as manager. Perhaps I should be using an external method? -- Robin Becker

How do I call careful_getattr()?
by Andrew Wilcox 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

My TableView class allows the user to enter the name of a method to be called. Right now the code to call the method looks like this: rowIds = getattr(folder, self.rowIdsMethodName)() "self.rowIdsMethodName" gives me the name of the method, then I use getattr() to find the method, and then I call it. But, it would be better if this was security checked, so that the user couldn't type in something like "manage_delObjects" for the method name. :) Is this a job for careful_getattr() ? How do I call it? In particular, what is the "md" argument? I'm inside of a Product method superclassing a ZClass, so I've got a "self" and a "REQUEST" to work with. Thanks, Andrew

Just an update - Mozilla, as of the current builds, works fine with the zope management screens. The build I'm using is 1999112208, and it's really quite nice for zope. (and for not having to deal with Netscape4's appalling style sheet handling) I'm going to try and make a sidebar link that links into Zope's management sidebar - that would be way cool. Now if only ftp worked properly :) Anthony >>> Anthony Baxter wrote > For those who are interested, Mozilla is very very > close to being usable for working in Zope.
