img in a tree?

I've got to make this work to use tree for my navigation... Can someone please tell me why this: <dtml-tree content branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder', 'DTML Document'])" sort=order > <dtml-if expr="meta_type == 'Folder'"> <span class="menu"><dtml-var title_or_id></span> <dtml-else> <dtml-if expr="id() == 'cnart'"><dtml-var cnartgif></dtml-if> <A HREF="<dtml-var "content.absolute_url()">/ <dtml-var tree-item-url>? <dtml-if tree-s>tree-s=<dtml-var tree-s></dtml-if> <dtml-if tree-e>&tree-e=<dtml-var tree-e></dtml-if> <dtml-if tree-c>&tree-c=<dtml-var tree-c></dtml-if>"> <dtml-var title_or_id></a> </dtml-if> </dtml-tree> (cnartgif is in the root folder. I've tried putting it in the content folder.) results in this: File /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 154, in render (Object: content) File /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 250, in tpRender (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 491, in tpRenderTABLE (Object: ElementWithAttributes) (Info: (['AAAAAAAAALc=', []], {'childless_decoration': '', 'id': 'tpId', 'branches_expr': <method Eval.eval of Eval instance at 85a7300>, 'sort': 'order', 'url': 'tpURL', 'name': 'content', '': 'content'}, [['AAAAAAAAALc=', []]], [['AAAAAAAAALc=', []]])) File /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0-src/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, line 408, in tpRenderTABLE (Object: cnart) AttributeError: __call__ -- ~mindlace

Not yet. It's on my company's intranet. But as soon as I've uncluttered the DTML and the SQL (I'm a newbie... and still learning), I'll throw it into the Bazaar. Best regards, Steen

Using Dreamweaver with zope..
by Tony McDonald 06 Oct '99

06 Oct '99

Anyone got this working? Dreamweaver keeps telling me it can't open files that don't have an extension, so all my DTML methods/docs aren't editable using DreamWeaver... cheers tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

There are 3 things that would need to happen: I was hoping for the dreamweaver.openDocument() method for interacting with Zope. In that way you could get more control by using the manage_-methods and do more intelligent things than just updating files. I am unsure what this does? I have not confirmed if the dreamweaver.openDocument() just takes (file:) URLs or if it takes (http:) URLs as well? In that case it would be worth considering building a C-library handling HTTP communication inside DW. (If its not already done?) I know that the FTP protocol works well. I see what you all are talking about! The FTP support only lets you open files when they have an extension. Although if you include a .htm on them in ZOPE they open just fine. They also save back into ZOPE fine with the extensions. > 1. DTML Tags would have to be added to ZOPE under a ZOPE MENU > 2. Modify the MIME SETTINGS so Dreamweaver could recognize ZOPE Docs (or rename them in ZOPE) Have you found were to do this? NO, Only that if you have an extension in the file name in ZOPE, they open just fine. I was wondering if you could have a feature that ties the two together so that ZOPE(FTP) would automatically do it for unnamed files and then take the extension off.(It is an OPEN SOURCE PRODUCT!) This would be a modification to ZSERVER(FTP). Maybe if ZOPE managed the EXTENSIONS based on MIME, That would do it! > 3. Add ZOPE Logic to the menus. (IF, WHILE, IN) I don't quite follow? Could you explain it for me? You can add menus and items into DREAMWEAVER. Lets have a ZOPE MENU with ZOPE items. (CUT, PASTE & MANAGE DTML SYNTAX via DREAMWEAVER(all they are is XML/HTML tags). We would just add reference DTML tags so that you could cut and paste DTML. The Logic is there so that you can insert an IF STATEMENT of a WHILE LOOP....similar to inserting an image and editing the parameters. Actually I was trying to understand the change to <dtml-var> based tags and it happens to make the tags work 200% better in DREAMWEAVER. It now doesn't cut off the <--#'s. So that editing forms is easier. If you look in the Dreamweaver Folder there are sets of components .js and .xml files all of them make up the interface to Dreamweaver. So you can edit them and add ZOPE functionality. Although I RECOMMEND CREATING A BACK-UP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!! I have already had to re-install it because of some editing. It really would not be too much effort to bridge the gap in the two products. Dreamweaver was designed to change so that their life-cycle would be extended and the software could adapt over time. I will look into the OPENDOC() function and see what I can find. I know someone at Macromedia I can email. He will point me in the right direction. > Oracle built a dreamweaver extension to view and edit parameters in an > oracle database.

importance/uses of rdf/rss ?
by chas 06 Oct '99

06 Oct '99

One of the surprising things when I asked for feature requests for notmail (or basically webmail) was that almost everyone mentioned rdf and rss (usually giving mynetscape as an example). I hadn't realised it was used so widespread and wondered what I was missing - so, I went to refresh my understanding of RDF : http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/staff/djb1/research/metadata/rdf.shtml (warning - folloing the links on this site will give you a nosebleed from information overload.. it's a monster.) which was all well and good. But how does this apply to the way that us (zopesters) can use it ? For something like Km|News, I can see that we might use content from other sites (such as PalmPower - this is a good example : http://www.palmpower.com/issues/issue199907/ppeditorial0799001.html ) or in turn we might want people to syndicate our own content. And applying this to the webmail, I guess we could have custom news delivered to our inbox using an rdf-based news channel. Right ? But some of the discussions on this list have hinted at RDF being much more deeply intertwined with Zope and ZODB. How else might you use RDF and are people using just straight XML tools ? Cheers, chas

Passing query strings in trees
by Jim Cain 06 Oct '99

06 Oct '99

All, I have a Zope tree structure that requires a query variable to be passed to it. The first time through, I can pass it on the http request with no problem: http://www.mgmt-inc.com/some_object?variable=value But this query string is not included in the [+] and [-] links to expand/contract the tree so that I can pass it on to the next rendering of this object. How do I do this? Thanks for the help, Jim

How to update parent window after selecting an object from child window?
by Ping Lau 06 Oct '99

06 Oct '99

I am trying to write a simple address book program as an exercise. I created 4 folders. The hierarchy looks like this: Country State_Province City Address Each country contains one or more states/provinces. Each state/province contains one or more cities. Address folder is at the same level as Country folder. Country has only one attribute: name. State has two attributes: name and countryid. City also has two attributes: name and state_provinceid. Address has three attributes: street, cityid, and type. In the Address form, I have a 1. textarea box to collect street info 2. select/option box to collect address type info 3. button, when clicked will open a new window to show a list of cities. In the City List, there is one button next to each city to allow users to select it. The question is how to show whatever users has typed in the street textarea box and the city, state, and country names in the Address form after an user has selected a city. I know how to call SQL method to join city, state, & country tables. Most importantly, I don't want to save the Address to the table until the City is selected. Regards, Ping
