Hi Harry, I got all the options to work with the calendar product. This is a sample code I made that has values set for each of the properties I tested.   <dtml-call "setCalendar('daynames','ABCDEFG')">  <dtml-call "setCalendar('leftbgcolor','red')"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('middlebgcolor','blue')">  <dtml-call "setCalendar('padding','5')"> <dtml-call "setCalendar('spacing','0')"> <dtml-if "mode=='month'"> <a href=""></a> <dtml-elif "mode=='day'"> <font size="+3"><b></b></font> </dtml-if>  Adonis

Re:Converting From Windows To Linux

I tried this and it did not work. After replacing Data.fs file in Linux, I attempted to http://localhost:8080 and got a zope error that said ZODB.FileStorage.Corrupted Data Error Here are the steps I tried: 1. In win 95, I used binary ftp of Data.fs up to ISP server storage 2. In linux, I copied Data.fs in /var/Zope/var to Dataorig.fs for backup 3. In linux, I ftp'd from server down to /var/Zope/var and over wrote Data.fs then the error message... Yes, I did double check permissions to make sure they were set correctly I restored original by copying backup and all works ok again. Any suggestions?

Can't Connect to Remote SQL Server
by Craig Villamor 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

I am trying to connect Zope to a remote SQL Server 7.0 database via ZODBC. I was able to create a connection to the data source via the ODBC Data Sources dialog in NT. The database shows up in the list of available DBs when I try to add an ODBC object in Zope. When I click the add button I get an "Invalid Connection String" error. The traceback is as folows:   I am able to connect to a local SQL Server installation without any problems but can't seem to connect remotely. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks in advance.

How to get title of a DTML Document?
by Art Hampton 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Sorry if this is a basic newbie question, but I've sifted through the docs and haven't been able to find the answer. I've got a document that I include in my standard_html_header. That works fine. But I'd like to also use the DTML Document's title in the header. I've hacked away at dozens of different possibilities, and none of them have worked. Any hints? Thanks in advance for any help.

Tree Query, Tree Reorder
by Michael Arndt 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Hello, has someone of you done someting like the below described scenario in DTML or Pyton ? (i know how to do in a Database in SQL or in Javascript) Some words before: Im not looking for a ready to work solution, but only for your opinion if someone has done before or if it´s possible. As far as i know it´s not in static html, there i had to use the undelying Database and generate a Report to construct such a view ... Rebuild a View of a page out of some existing Pages in the following way: what i have is a folder structure, where may or may not exist subfolders with same nomenclature but different content in my browser tree´s. The aim is to present a user with al view of all (or selected) subfolders (content) which belong to a given label in the hierarchy. Structure (hierachical as organized in the users minds :-) ) label3 label1 tree1 label2 labell4 label3 label1 tree2 label2 labell4 Target is to present the following view: tree1-label3 tree2-label3 .... for those who are interested on the background: Presenting information to co workers in different teams, who organise information by a finite number of topics. Until now their info often gets to /dev/zero and we look if we can construct a Web/Documentservers short term tool as first aid ... thanks Micha -- :-)

Re: [Zope] Using a DTML Method to render a DTMLDocument?
by Cayce Ullman 23 Nov '99

Actually, the problem has little to do with headers and footers. I was more interested in how you get the content of an object from a method on that object. And if this content contains dtml, how do you make that render.

Is it possible to create a tree based on subjects that were entered in the squishdot product? Does anyone think that it is also possible to display a list of articles that were attached to the subjects? thanks, geoff
