Re: ZPatterns.. Property sheets... once and for all. ;-)
by Steve Alexander 24 Aug '00

Steve, Ok, it is a bug in manage_tabs. Here's a proper fix: <dtml-if manage_options> <dtml-with "_(option=manage_options[a_])"> <dtml-if "option.has_key('help')"> <td align="right" valign="top"> <dtml-var "HelpSys.button(HelpSys, REQUEST, product=option['help'][0], topic=option['help'][1])"> </td> </dtml-if></dtml-with></dtml-if> Replace the <dtml-comment> with <dtml-if manage_options> and </dtml-comment> with </dtml-if>. I'm putting this in the Collector. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

Steve, I don't know what the problem is, but I have a temporary fix. The problem is something to do with providing a "help" button. In lib/python/App/manage_tabs.dtml, at around line 148, comment out this entire dtml-with block: <dtml-with "_(option=manage_options[a_])"> <dtml-if "option.has_key('help')"> <td align="right" valign="top"> <dtml-var "HelpSys.button(HelpSys, REQUEST, product=option['help'][0], topic=option['help'][1])"> </td> </dtml-if></dtml-with> -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

ZPatterns.. Property sheets... once and for all. ;-)
by Steve Spicklemire 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi Folks, OK.. I didn't hear much from my last plea for advice... I thought perhaps such a concrete problem would product lots of sage advice... but there's good news: here's another chance! Really Really Basic: If I have a class like so: class Shopper( OFS.SimpleItem.Item, ZPatterns.DataSkins.DataSkin, Acquisition.Implicit, AccessControl.Role.RoleManager, ): """ A Shopper """ # Specify a name for the item type: meta_type='Shopper' and let's say I define some attributes in the class.... id = 'default' email = '' _passwd = '' Now... let's further say that I want a developer using this class to be able to add propertysheets to instances of this class after I'm finished... to make customized versions of these objects. Also.. perhaps I want to take advantage of the 'automatic' nature of property sheets to provide a usable interface so that users can edit various properties. I was successful in adding a propertysheet using the /specialist/anobject/propertysheets/manage_addPropertySheet?id=foo&ns= technique.. which I'm pretty sure I could also implement programattically. ;-). But when I try: /specialist/anobject/propertysheets/foo/manage I get an attribute error looking for 'a_'. I get the same error when I try: /specialist/anobject/propertysheets/foo/manage_addProperty?id=blah&value=hh&type=string Any idea what's up with that? But no matter... I can't add 'email' to *any* propertysheet, even those in the ZClass, since it's already used in the class. So do I leave it out of the class and "hope" that someone defines it in some propertysheet somewhere? Do I do lots of: if hassattr(self, 'email') and so on.. in case somehow it didn't get taken care of? I *know* I missing something deep. I'm sure I'll say something dumb enough here soon.. and someone will point out my basic misunderstanding. ;-) thanks! -steve

Saw this linked from Slashdot. http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/sashxb/wde_screenshot… I can see it being really nice for Zope -- custom user-interfaces, over the web, with a ZServer backend :-) -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

Sorry ChrisW but I dont understand what you mean :( ? (probably my horrible poor english is a cause..) I dont want enabling people, I dont want any votes. It only was my reply for _your_ problem.

I made patch earlier for my private use (likewise as _all_ other patches posted by me) and according to your suggestion on IRC I stuck it into collector... My post was only notification for you. >The one for me is the ability, in effect, to shout 'Me too!' when I see >a bug that I've experienced too. Heh funny... Ability for such simple and trivial things as my patches ? Experience ? Eh... Sorry but this eventually would was true 20 years ago when I'd started my adventure with programming of stupid computers :) How you think ? What is my motivation to produce patches etc ?. Answer is very simple... >Maybe this would help filter down the >collector or at least give anotehr way that it could be prioritised? What way ?. It was a little bug and inconsistence it tree tag and I dont see any better way then very simple and safe (without any influence for compatibility) patch.

The one for me is the ability, in effect, to shout 'Me too!' when I see a bug that I've experienced too. Maybe this would help filter down the collector or at least give anotehr way that it could be prioritised? cheers, Chris

Product release: ExtFile/ExtImage 0.91
by Heine, Gregor 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Version 0.91 of the ExtFile/ExtImage Software Product has just been released. The ExtFile and ExtImage Products store large files in an external file-repository and are able to display icons for different MIME-Types. The ExtImage Product additionally creates preview-thumbnails from images and displays them. ExtFile and ExtImage basically work like the Zope File and Image products but the (binary) file is not stored inside the ZODB, but in an external file-repository. Only meta data (like title and description) are stored in the ZODB. This prevents the Database swelling up quickly, when many large files are uploaded and thus increasing database performance. Version 0.91 fixes an important security issue, that allowed read access to any file in the local filesystem (readeable for the UID of the zope process). The Product is avaliable at http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile/ MacGregor!
