I downloaded it to try it out. When I restarted Zope I got the FAQ entry in ControlPanel/Products, but it does not show up in the list of things that I can add to my folders.

Zope and Apache - again
by raver＠box.dust.za.net 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi all! I know the question has been up to debate earlier on the list, but still... I can't get Apache to send authorization headers on to Zope - even tough I've tried to do what the doc/WEBSERVER.txt tells me to (tried both rewrite and to let apache authenticate /cgi-bin/Zope/). I also grabbed the latest Zap release, but that one din't work (broken?). Also had a look at the zap.conf file and tried using some in my httpd.conf file, but I still had no luck. Now - here is my current config: Linux 2.0.35 Python 1.5.1 Zope 1.10.2 Apache 1.3.4 Something there that doesn't play well together? If not - what is wrong?? Appreciate all the help I can get!

Hello, Sorry for the waste of bandwith. I found the problem. But the story is interresting enough to be shared.

Well, I found that standard_html_header were called several times, and that's what caused the error. Let SF/standard_html_header be: --------8<--------  Hello! --------8<-------- Then, when I access http://mysite/SF, I get: --------8<-------- [pretty standard_html_header] Hello! Hello! This is the index_html document in SF. --------8<-------- Why is Hello! printed twice??? >From SSF, I get Hello! printed 3 times... Regards, CLAIN Jephte Service Informatique CHSR.

acquisition from parent within standard_html_header
by Service Informatique CHSR 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hello, I want to *add* content to the default standard_html_header in a subfolder that we call, say, SF. The standard_html_header in SF reads:   But since an object acquire from itself, this did not work (infinite traceback, obviously because the stack is filled with recursive calls) So I wrote:  And it works for object accessed within SF. But when I create sub-folder *under* SF, say SSF, I end up with an error. How could i write this? Regards, Jephte CLAIN Service Informatique CHSR

ANNOUNCE: FAQ Tool sample Zope app.
by Amos Latteier 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi Everyone: As part of writing an article on Zope for WebReview, I've put together an example FAQ Tool for Zope. If you've seen Guido's FAQ Wizard then you know what the FAQ Tool is about. http://www.zope.org/WebReview You can try out the FAQ Tool online, and download it. (Note: the example FAQ is not a real FAQ, please don't enter useful information into it. Hopefully, we'll get a real Zope FAQ online soon.) One of the interesting things about this example is that it was built with the 'Lever' by creating a Product in the Control Panel and working from there. This is the first time that I've used the Lever and I have to say I like it. I think that this is the future of Zope Product authoring. The Lever basically allows you to create a Zope Product through the web without any programming. And as a special bonus, the Lever *is* documented in the Zope Manager's Guide. In fact, that's how I learned how to use it ;-) I think that the Lever will be even cooler when Zope Classes are out, since then you will be able to make changes to your Product in the Control Panel, and all your instances will be updated. Anyway enjoy, and send me your feedback. -Amos P.S. You may notice that the FAQ Tool is not searchable. When Zope gets searchability, then so will the FAQ Tool. I probably won't get around to adding searching to the FAQ Tool before that. However, the basic search indexing libraries are there in 1.10.2, and I do accept patches for those of you who can't wait ;-)

Before I start into it has anyone else done this yet? If I understand you correctly, you might try something like: <UNTESTED THOUGHT> Step1QueryForm -------------- <FORM ACTION="Step2QueryForm"> <INPUT NAME= "keywords_from_web_form " TYPE="TEXT" VALUE=""> </FORM> sqlFoo -------- SELECT record_id, first_name, last_name, fav_color_code, postal_code FROM foo WHERE memo_field LIKE  Step2QueryForm ----------------- <P>Click on one of the results:</P> <UL>  <LI> <A HREF="http://server.com/my_app/doc_that_displays_multitable_results?reco rd_id=&fav_color_code=">, </A> </LI>  </UL> </UNTESTED THOUGHT> --Rob Page -- Rob Page Phone: +1 540 371 6909 Digital Creations Fax: +1 540 371 1201
