Thanks Martijn. I wonder where I can officially suggest that a note be added to the NT distribution telling folks not to close that console window if zope is not running as a service?

Good. The error reported doesn't influence the correct functioning of ZSerever. It is just a message it has to compute the default hostname, because it isn't given anywhere else. There has been talk of moving the status of that message from PROBLEM to INFO, because it is confusing and only worries people too much. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

rendering document in sub-folder
by Mike Mikkelsen 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Hello all, I can't seem to figure out how to include a document (or method) in a subfolder in the top level index_html. When I use <dtml-var "folder.method"> it just shows me the code *in* the method (or doc). When the method (or doc) is in the same folder as the index_html, it renders the included html properly. Obviously, I missed *something*. 8-) Any ideas? -- ========================================================================== Mike Mikkelsen mikk(a)microbsys.com Micro Business Systems http://www.microbsys.com Fresno Linux Users Group http://linux.fresno.ca.us Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion

Use the crontab to periodically check if your server is up (e.g. with wget) and if not restart it. Sven -- PGP-Key-ID: 0x881BF222

ZClass Question
by Albert Kinderman 01 Oct '99

01 Oct '99

Help! I am Zenless. 8=( I want to keep things simple for content managers. I have a ZClass (agendaClass) that contains a dtml method index_html and a dtml document with id content. The index_html calls the standard header and footer with <dtml-var content> inbetween. I know that the ZDG chapter 1 on ZClasses says that the only permission you should grant to documents and methods in instances is view because you don't want managers to be able to edit the documents and methods, but that is exactly what I want. I want them to edit content to contain the appropriate html content for that particular agenda. I have tried all sorts of permission combinations, but I can't seem to get it right. When I create an instance (agenda), the Contents page appears empty (index_html and content are not listed), but when I view the instance I see the page correctly with the default contents from the agendaClass. I would like "content" to appear on the Contents page of the instance. Clicking on "content" should take the content manager to a set of pages that include Edit, Upload, Properties, and View. I do not want the index_html to be editable. I can achieve a similar result by leaving content out of the agendaClass and teaching all my content managers to Add a DTML Document and give it the id content as soon as they create an instance, but I want this to be automated. Thanks for your help.
