Can't directly call an image from an acquired dtml document ??
by Andrew Wilcox 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

This behavior so startled me that I installed a fresh copy of 2.1.4 and verified that it doesn't work in a clean installation. On my system, I have: / root folder | |-- icon.gif (Image) | |-- display (DTML Document) | |-- abc (Folder) Where "display" is simply: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var logo.gif> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Now, http://mysystem.com/display works fine, displaying the logo, while http://mysystem.com/abc/display gives an AttributeError for __call__: Traceback (innermost last): File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 179, in publish File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 165, in publish File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: display) File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: display) File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\OFS\DTMLDocument.py, line 166, in __call__ (Object: display) File D:\Zope\David\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: display) AttributeError: (see above) Should I report this in the collector? Or is this not supposed to work? Thanks, Andrew

Custom Formats
by James W. Howe 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I originally asked this question on the Zope mailing list but didn't receive any replies. Hopefully someone on this list might be able to help... I'm interested in creating a custom format similar, but more limited, than the structured-text format. Is there a way to accomplish this without hacking on the base Zope code? From the description I found in the Zope documentation, it says that the value of a custom format is the "method name evaluated upon the object to be inserted". If I'm accessing a DTML_method wouldn't this mean that I would have to add something to DTML_Method (or create my own subclass?) Is there a better way to accomplish this task? What I'm trying to do is provide a way for my user to enter textual information without requiring the use of HTML. I want visible paragraphs to be translated into <p></p> delimited paragraphs, standard URL specifications to get translated into real links, and I want to provide a small number of additional formatting options. Any ideas on good ways to accomplish this task would be appreciated. Thanks. James W.

There is a separate mailing list (zope(a)zope.org) for questions and answers about USING Zope. This list (zope-dev(a)zope.org) is supposed to be for discussing DEVELOPING Zope, i.e., writing and debugging new versions of Zope itself and associated modules. With rare exceptions (like when a newbie stumbles on a serious bug) you should only post here if you already understand how to USE Zope, and you want to help code Zope internals. There are no stupid Zope questions, but there are wrong addresses for posting them.

At the moment the topic of this list isn't that focused, and this is not necessarily wrong. Currently, this list discusses Zope internals developement, and the development of Zope products. So, Tom was never off topic. [RH]Moreover, Tom asked his original question about 15 times on other lists and only on this list his cry for help was answered. Small wonder then that he thinks this one is his best bet ;-) Rik

Large file FTP STOR
by seant＠factory.dk 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Zope 2.1.2 linux2 When attempting to upload a 8 MB file through FTP I get an FTP error (426). No exception was reported on stdout or Z2.log. I put a breakpoint in the webdav PUT and in the ObjectManager _setObject methods but neither were hit, so I assume that the error is happening somewhere in the publish code, but investigating quickly exceeded my zenness factor. Uploading the file through a browser as a File object works (though it takes significantly longer). Has anywone seen this before? I have 2 days to get this working, so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, -Sean P.S. I am working with very large media files within the ZODB and from the filesystem, served though Zope. I am finding quite a few quirks and if anyone else is working with large files, I would love to compare notes.

Let's say I indexed the title of a class and now I want to see all the > titles in the catalog (so I can see if I'm programming correctly) You can use 'uniqueValuesFor()' to list values for an index. As a simple tool, you could add the 'Query' tab patch to ZCatalog, get it from http://www.zope.org/Members/anthony/patches/ Anthony

RE: [Zope-dev] ZCatalog: Forgot to mention

Tom, Michel can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe only properties get indexed in the Catalog. YOu can also only retuen properties as meta_data. If you want the value of a given method that comes up fora Catalog result, you do this: <dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults(title='foo')"> <dtml-with "resolve_url(getpath(data_record_id_),REQUEST)"> <dtml-var getParentEx> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> This will return the value of getParentEx method for the record returned.

Of course. Make perfect sense. Now I know how to get the object's icon - instead of <dtml-with obj><dtml-var icon></dtml-with> I just do <dtml-var "obj.icon">. Thanks!

Hi, Can a DTML Method also return a result as an External Method can? Regards, Tom.

problems importing DCOracle
by Andrew Jeremy Lowe 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

I am trying having problems importing DCOracle. I am running python 1.5.2 on a standard RedHat 6.1 intel box with version 1.3.0 of DCOracle. When I try to import DCOracle it complains about the lack ot a "Buffer" module. I can't find a Buffer module anywhere, but there is a builtin function called "buffer". Here is a transcript of my experiments. Can you help?
