RE:Missing slash
by Jason Spisak 04 May '99

04 May '99

Zopists: Did anyone ever find out what was up with the URL not found using ZAP in the root folder. Just to re-cap: >From the "Zope" folder inside Zope, if you try to click any of the check boxes for anything in the root folder and then "cut, copy, paste etc..." it gives a URL not found for "/Zope" without the proper "/Zope/" end slash. Anybody know which method I change? Jason Spisak webmaster(a)mtear.com

tree tag positioning
by Sebastian Luehnsdorf 04 May '99

04 May '99

hi! i'm using the tree tag to structure some information. if i open a branch, the browser should position the view, so that the current branch is right at the top of the screen. netscape seems to have a bug, that hinders it to position the view correctly, if following a link. it works, however, if the url is entered by hand. is there a workaround to trick netscape to work correctly? ciao, basti --------------------------------------------------------------------- sebastian f. luehnsdorf beehive elektronische medien gmbh --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://basti.beehive.de http://www.beehive.de mailto:basti@beehive.de mailto:service@beehive.de fon: (+49 30) 84 78 20 fax: (+49 30) 84 78 22 99

by Paul Everitt 04 May '99

04 May '99

There's a Zope thread the the C-Net Builder.com forums. The URL for the forums is: http://buzz.builder.com The article is in the "Web Authoring" section, fourth link down. It's hard for Digital Creations' folks to respond objectively in cases like that, so PLEASE if some of you get a moment, chime in! --Paul

ZLDAPconn problems
by Keith Rohrer 04 May '99

04 May '99

I've added ldapmodule to my Python installation, and moved ZLDAPconn and ZLDAPMethods to Zope's lib/python/Products directory. Trying to add a ZLDAPconn to a folder, I get either a complaint about openc not being set in the request, or the following error: <html> <head> <title>exceptions.AttributeError</title> </head> <body> Sorry, an error occurred.<p>  </body> </html> My python is fairly poor at this point, so I'm not sure how to fix this. The version of ZLDAPconn is 0.1 (14-Mar-99), and ZLDAPMethods-0.1 of that same date. Python is 1.5.1, and Zope is 1.10.2 from source; this is all running under Solaris 2.6, and seemed to compile just fine (as did the ZOracleDB package, eventually). If the zip files have newer stuff, please let me know. Otherwise, any other advice would be appreciated. Keith

Enter subfolders and get file-listings (2. try)
by Sture Lygren 04 May '99

04 May '99

Hi! I Apologize if this one has shown up on the list already (I sent a mail about 10 hours ago ago and I see nothing) Now to my question... I wonder how I can get into subfolders and display the content therein. I have this DTML method:  <IMG SRC=""> <A HREF="/some/place/show_files?folder_id="></A><BR>  Pressing the link on a folders title will bring on folder_id to the show_files DTML method. This is ok, but how can I get into the folder with id=folder_id, so that I can display the files therein? I tried:   #this one doesn't work - why?      And:     This one displays nothing - why? Please tell me the correct way to handle this problem. Sture Lygren

Simple form processing query
by Albert Boulanger 04 May '99

04 May '99

I would just like to print out the key, values from REQUEST.form. Why does this DTML not work? in a DTML document "process" which is the post url. (I skipped the empty form test for simplicity in this.)  <h2></h2>  <p>   </p>   On the zope learning curve, Albert Boulanger aboulanger(a)ldeo.columbia.edu

What's wrong with this DTML?
by Kevin Dangoor 03 May '99

03 May '99

Hi, This seemed really simple, but I must be doing something wrong. I have a Folder with a property called "email". I'm trying to make a form that would change this property. The form does a POST to folder/postit. postit includes the following line:  Ideally, this would change the property to what was entered on the form, but since I was having trouble I decided to go with a static value... When I post the form and the method is called, I get the following traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /byproducts/incoming/925660874/postit) File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 155, in __call__ (Object: postit) File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 151, in __call__ (Object: postit) File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 513, in __call__ (Object: postit) File /usr/local/Zope-1.10.2-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 266, in eval (Object: manage_changeProperty(email='kid(a)kendermedia.com')) File <string>, line 0, in ? NameError: (see above) The Folder *does* currently have a property called "email". What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Kevin
