- Zope-Dev - Zope lists

Quick request! :)
by Bill Anderson 19 Feb '00

I need to do this: "PARENTS[0].objectValues('Foo Object')" in python. OK, another one. I think I know the answer, bur calrification is nice :) If in a ZClass I am subclassing from ObjectManager, how would I subclass that in python? Close to a release of a new toy ... :) -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900

Let's call it FileToText: def FileToText(self): # do watherever you want with self, # it is the File object. # return some text. Then ad a textindex on FileToText, and you can start cataloguing your binary File objects. -- Martijn Pieters, Software Engineer | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org | mailto:mj@digicool.com ICQ: 4532236 | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 -------------------------------------------

Accessing UMS0, UMS1, etc.
by Robert Sander 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

Hi! After some of my questions about accessing other objects were answered by the main question still hangs in the air (How do I access the object at http://localhost:8080/ ? ), my next question is: In DTML-Documents or methods I have names like URL0 and URL1 in the namespace to call with dtml-var to easy generate links in the HTML code. Where are these names when I want htem to use in a Product? I only found the PATH_TRANSLATED item of REQUEST.environ. If I want to e.g. redirect a request to some objects above in the tree I do now somethinf like: dirname, basename = os.path.split(REQUEST.environ.get("PATH_TRANSLATED")) REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(dirname + "/logout?sess=%s&reason=%s" % (self.id, urllib.quote(self.reason))) (This is for logging out of a session object.) Could this be done more easily? I know that I have a logout method also in the child objects because of the namespace overlapping, but then soon the URL gets very long and unusable. Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de

automatic sending of the 'REQUEST' argument
by Brian Takashi Hooper 18 Feb '00

18 Feb '00

Here's a question for any Document Template experts out there: What is the mechanism which determines whether REQUEST is sent to a function evaluated using dtml-var? Recently I have been skulking around the management screen templates, and I noticed that somehow it is possible to write something like: (in manage_tabs.dtml) <dtml-var "HelpSys.button(HelpSys, product=option['help'][0], topic=option['help'][1])"> Here the 'button.dtml' HTMLFile object is being called with 'HelpSys' (the Help System instance) as a client and two keyword arguments, 'product' and 'topic'. That seems pretty clear. However, in helpURL, which is a subtemplate of the button template, looks like: <dtml-var SCRIPT_NAME>/Control_Panel/Products/<dtml-var product>/Help/<dtml-var topic> SCRIPT_NAME is part of the REQUEST namespace, as far as I can tell... but how is the REQUEST being passed to helpURL? I added some debugging output to App/special_dtml.py to visualize HTMLFile as it's being called, and sure enough it is getting passed a REQUEST. What's going on here? When I do stuff similar to the above in an expr, I always seem to have to explicitly pass along the namespace, a la: <dtml-var "myMethod(REQUEST=_)"> Enlightenment Please! --Brian

Explore the Zope objects hierarchy
by Luca Ottone 17 Feb '00

17 Feb '00

Hi I have a problem. I would to generate a Python module that can explore the Zope objects hierarchy. I have created a ZClass like a DTMLDocument with some differences and so I need to replace a very large number of DTMLDocuments with instances of my ZClass, manteining the contents of the documents (body and properties). I want to do that by an automatic procedure using Python. I think is important to read and update the content of the file data.fs, but I don't know how I can do it. What is the format of the file ? Is there any python module for this problem ? Where can I find it ? Thanks Luca

dtml-tree
by Richard Wackerbarth 17 Feb '00

17 Feb '00

About a month ago, Anthony Baxter posted a patch to TreeTag.py. Was there any resolution? I didn't find any change in the CVS. I'm trying to figure out what is going on in the trees. It seems that there are namespace context problems. The tree seems to be evaluated in a global context rather than the context from which the dtml tag is invoked That isn't a problem when the code generates a constant display which refers only to the global tree, but it isn't working for my application. I can always do a custom rewrite but that defeats the purpose of common modules. Does anyone have any insight? -- Richard Wackerbarth rkw(a)Dataplex.NET

Multiple Rename Patch
by Lahser, Andrew 17 Feb '00

17 Feb '00

There was a recent tread that discussed how folks were _managing_ their zope websites. Surprisingly, many of us actually use the web interface even though ftp and webdav are available. To this end, I have a patch that allows multiple rename of Zope items in the web management interface; instead of just the first item. This patch was originally submitted to the collector last December, but this new version works against Zope 2.1.3 and 2.1.4. I haven't tested it against CVS. Cheers, Drew **Brief install instructions.** cd ZopeDir cd lib/python/OFS patch -c CopySupport.py /path/to/patch/CopySupport.diff patch -c renameForm.dtml /path/to/patch/renameForm.diff <<CopySupport.diff>> <<renameForm.diff>>
