Note the lack of quotes around Category (as opposed to your code above). Tell me if this doesn't work for you (and I'll look more into it). Regards, Plamen [...]

Newbie DTML question
by Timothy Grant 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hi again, Is it possible to create a variable under DTML and assign it a value? I can figure out how to assign the properties of a document or folder, but I cannot figure out how to assign a value to a one-off variable that I need temporarily. I have messed around with _.namespace(), but nothing I do there seems to work correctly. Also, it seems that it is possible to create an indirect variable when doing forms processing e.g., <td> <B></B> </td> <td> <select name= size=1>  <option>  </select> </td> As far as I can tell I'm creating a select box named with whatever happens to be stored in Category at the moment. However, I can't seem to access the contents of the indirect variable. Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. =================================== Timothy J.

Has anyone been successful in getting Zope 1.9.0 and IIS 4 to work together? I've followed the instructions in webserver.txt and can't get it working. Jeff jeffniel(a)ix.netcom.com

Tiny Table Question
by Timothy Grant 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hail Zope Folk, Well, I bit the bullet, couldn't get Zope to work reliably on my notebook using Win95, so I installed Linux at both the home and the office and got Zope working on it in both places, I'm a complete Linux Neophyte and while my understanding of what Zope does and how it works is increasing quite rapidly, I fear I have quite the climb ahead of me. I'm working on a project that has a table of about 100-120 items I thought about trying to make MySQL work, but decided it would slow down my initial release too much, so since TinyTable works with small sets of data, I thought I would use it. It appears to be working ok, but I have a lot of questions. It appears from my perusal of the Advanced tab that the Tiny Table can use a Python class as a data source, however, on checking through the source for Tiny Table, I can find no mention of how to make use for this feature. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, is it possible to update a Tiny Table under dtml control? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. =================================== Timothy J.

XEmacs/NT
by Jeff Bauer 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hi all. This post is only marginally related to Zope. Now that Zope supports ftp, it may be of some interest. I've just discovered a beta port of XEmacs/NT. It supports efs, (remote ftp editing) and auto-converts between Unix and DOS format files: http://www.nj1.aae.com/~cwaldman/xemacs/ It feels less clunky than NTEmacs in a Windows environment. I wonder if some of the effort spent on hacking DTML would justify writing an emacs mode for it. For myself, I'm reasonably happy with pretending DTML == HTML, for editing purposes.
