But with the new Product registration API, construction methods are now collected in a special collection of the manage_addProduct object. This is why the P SQL Input Wizard was broken. Philip's method bypasses the construction methods altogether, and tries to do the same thing that such a construction method does. It calls _setObject on the current Folder with a new instance of the SQL class. My Method makes use of the new path of the constructor method, thus using any other code that constructor method uses or may use in the future. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj(a)antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------

by Darcy Clark 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

When will the Zope Portal Toolkit be released ? I have seen very little mention of it lately. From what I saw of it (http://www.zope.org:8080/Products/PortalToolkit/) is looked exceedingly sweet. What up ?

Hi, I'm looking for collaborators willing to develop Web applications with Zope for small to middle sized businesses. The first step is to build a couple of "killer" Web site using Zope. The purpose is: 1- have something great to show to the businesses I plan to prospect in my area (and for you too of course). 2- experience the feasability of working together via the Internet on concret project for businesses. 3- evaluate the cost of building such projects. 4- have a working team for such projects. Interested or any question, please contact me. Thanks ****************************************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ... feel free to write to me also in french or spanish (english is not my native language ;) ******************************************************

Are you saying that <dtml-let orderby="'aFieldName'"> <dtml-in aList sort=&dtml-orderby> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> will work? I don't think this is the case. From looking at the code I saw no place where this happens.

inconsistency in tag argument syntax
by Jay, Dylan 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

After playing around with making a tag an inconsistency in the tag syntax became apparent to me. Sometimes "asd" is treated as an expression and sometimes as a string. e.g. <dtml-let blah="aObject.method()"> is an expression however <dtml-mime name="aObject.method()"> makes the name argument a string with 'aObject.method()' This is confusing and inconsistent. Also treating any argument always as a string means that the value of the argument can never be dynamically specified i.e. there is no way I could name a mime block dynamically e.g. from a form. The same applies for instance to the 'sort' argument in <dtml-in>. This is very limiting. The problem is however that I can't see a backwards compatible way of fixing this problem. Alternatives are a) You could introduce a evaluate expression syntax like there is in sh script. i.e. name="`myMethod()`". This however makes things more confusing and unreadable. b) Another possibility is to make all "non-expression" arguments become expression arguments. This would break existing code and mean all string constants look like name="'A name'" which is also not intuitive and messy. This could be made cleaner by allowing syntax such as name='A name'. c) Or ignore the problem. I prefer option b). What do other people think?

Image Problem bug or am I just not getting it??
by Mats Nordgren 08 Oct '99

08 Oct '99

Hi everyone. First I like to thank all the wonderful people here who has helped me with all my problems in the past. Secondly I like to ask another question :) I have a page that has an image in it. I deleted the image and then created a new image with the same name. When I view the page the old image is still in the page. I compacted the db and flushed the cache but to no avail. I had the same problem when instead of deleting the image I just upload a new image to the image object and it also renders the old picture.
