Yeah, this was a question for two hours for me to seek out it in zope documentation and I found it only in an example Maybe someone can put this simple question in a little bit more reachable place?

ZServer header and Netscape borwser
by Adonis El Fakih 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

Hi, I installed Zope 2.0.1 for Linux RH 5.2 with python 1.5.2. Everything works good, however when I visit the site with Netscape Communicator 4.61. I get to see the HTML source code instead of the page. I telneted to port 8080 and grabbed the output and the ZServer is sending Content-Type: plain/text instead of html/text. IE5 seems not to mind and displays the page correctly. Any pointers to what I am missing or where should I read further more, will be appretiated. Thanks in advance. Adonis

DTML: calling a method
by Scott Lewis 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

hi, i'm trying to write some difficult (for me :) DTML and my eyes are starting to cross. i'd appreciate any suggestions. i have a string with a method name and another string with the method arguments. currently the arguments string looks like this: "arg1='foo', arg2='bar'" but this format can altered if necessary. what is the DTML to call the method with the specified arguments? e.g: s1 = "amethod" s2 = "arg1='foo', arg2='bar'" without knowing the values of these strings until runtime, how do i do the equivalent of: <dtml-var "amethod(arg1='foo', arg2='bar')"> thanks in advance for any help, -scott ----- Scott Lewis Baltic Avenue Productions csl(a)balticave.com

Re: [Zope] shopping cart app
by Kevin Dangoor 01 Nov '99

I've actually written one using ZClasses (see it at http://www.byproducts.com) It was not very difficult, but it is quite integrated with the rest of the site and therefore not in a good state to be released. (It also requires cookies, which is not ideal, IMHO). I'm hoping that interest in the ZCommerce project will pick up. The idea behind ZCommerce is to make an easily extensible, open source framework for commerce apps. (With good out-of-the-box functionality).

Stupid DTML Question
by James W. Howe 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

Is there a way in a DTML method to create a new variable, assigning it an initial value, and then change the value later? Something like: flag = false if some condition flag = true if flag do something else do something else. I know that I can create a variable using Let, but I don't see how I can change the value of that variable after it has been created. Thanks.
