by Jonas Juselius 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

I have the following problem in dtml:  . . .  does not work! Neither does objectItems('[Folder]'), but a plain  works... I have looked at the code in ObjectManager.py and DT_Util.py, but can't figure it out... The errors I get are the following (without the traceback): Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type list) Help appreciated, jonas

Picklists in forms (Newbie questions)
by kamon.ayeva＠bureauveritas.com 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

Hello, I would like to know how -in the Zope-dev way of doing- you create a picklist field in which a user can make a choice. To be more precise, I would like 2 scenarios: 1. Picklist of instances of an object, for example, of areas_of_interest (MATHEMATICS:ASTROLOGY:LITERATURE:ART). 2. Picklist of different objects such as (USERPROFILE:WORK:FAMILY:AREAS_OF_INTEREST) In this second case, the choice made would, for example, open a new form (DTML method/document ?) containing the properties of the object. Maybe you could redirect me to someplace in the documentation where I can find these concepts ? Maybe there are existing products implementing this. Thanks & All the best Kamon

ZODB manager project?
by David Kankiewicz 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

Has anyone been working on a interface that includes the size (size of undo's, etc.) of objects? There was a discussion awhile back that brought something like this up. I was wondering what the best approach to this would be and generally what people would want? Ideas like: object management (different management views with their sub items listed for direct singular access) more history/versions management directory/item packing options (for lets say publicly modifiable objects that need to be checked before the page/directory is packed) general views of the states of objects (in memory, on disk, version modified, etc) what attributes/objectIds are there what additional permissions would some of these require (if any)? Some of these ideas target larger sites that might allow different people to maintain areas of the web site. I know that most of the stuff is in Zope already and just needs to be worked with and interfaced. I'm just getting into python and Zope but would like to contribute were I can. Right now that includes working with Zope and Python (that includes learning to think in Python) to learn more about the internal objects, etc.. Any ideas and responses would be appreciated. David Kankiewicz P.S. All the web sites (like weblogs, sourceXchange.com etc., etc.), IMHO, would be so easy to implement with Zope, especially as it gets more organized preojects going :)

RE: Zclass Instances from External Method
by Jason Spisak 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Kevin, Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. Fires to put out. I'm sure you know how that is. I actiually wanted to do it all in python because I have an external method that chops up an old flat file of data, and turns them into ZClass instances. Right now it uses a web transaction for the whole thing, and since it's like 16,000 instances, my tmp directory fills up and it chokes. I wanted to change it so that it makes ZClass instances without the web trasaction. Jason Kevin Dangoor wrote: > > Hi, Jason > > You can do it via DTML.

RE: [Zope-dev] I guess ZODBC3.3 not ready for Zope 2.B4?
by Miller, John M. 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

As do I, and that was after making the suggested subclass modifications (from which the most logical conclusion can be that I did it wrong, heh). I also sometimes get a 'Database %s connection refused' when I try to UPDATE or INSERT using ZODBC, and that also happens to go away with a refresh or two. Eh, my customers use Windows exclusive so they're pretty used to weird, idiosyncratic behavior in their software anyways :-).
