Hi Amos, The server is down! :-(.... Why on earth did I place my website on that server? Anybody a place where I can put it? If possible I would like to move the site to there. ps. I found a way to get the website fully working on IE4.0. Funny bug in IE4.0. I let you know when the site is back online and when compatible with IE4.0. Kind regards, Tom. >Hi Tom: > >I'd like to add a link to your site > > http://www.master.cit.be/c8/default.html > >from the Zope site. However, I cannot connect to your site.

Please check out http://sw.fsw.leidenuniv.nl/cgi-bin/WebSite.exe/zopegroep The dutch Zope mailing list (ZOPE-NL) is also working.

RE: [Zope] Newbie:Navigational bar
by Alexander Staubo 11 Jun '99

11 Jun '99

Yep. Once upon a time I wrote this. It might not be the best or most efficient way to do it, but darn, it works (it would have been the best way if #in supported reverse iteration, because then we could skip the temporary "dirs" variable). The use of absolute_url() might not be to your taste -- if you use recursive acquisition, the navigation bar will link to the true location of the object, not to the acquired path. You can fix this by maintaining a temporarily variable for the URL.       :  <a href=""></a>  Now I'll let the more experienced Zopistas tear this code to pieces and tell you the Right Way. :-) -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin.

Yep, gotta work on it :^) Really, the resources around here are all way overcommitted on Zope2, portal toolkit, and customer projects. Sigh. > Where does Z Tables fit into the big picture? Our plan is to have two things: 1) Z Tables Core. Free, open source core that stores gobs of like-structured data with powerful indexing features. Main use is with the Catalog, a part of the free portal toolkit that gives powerful searching and browsing. 2) Z Tables. A commercial product that allows web uploads of various formats, a management screen for working with data, and a number of powerful extra features. > * Is it replaced or enhanced with ZODB3 ? Hmm, about the only enhancement will be, later on, the ability to incrementally commit uploaded data, thus reducing memory footprint. > * Is it or will it be open source? Z Tables will be commercial.

Ah, brilliant - the expr keyword comes to the rescue. Many thanks, don't think I would have found that for a long time. As I'm now indebted to you and the list, I might make the very modest contribution of the DTML that makes the multiline tree headings line up neatly.

Changing properties on objects
by Alexander Staubo 11 Jun '99

11 Jun '99

I feel really stupid asking this, but I have no choice. I have some instances of ZClasses where I'm attempting to easily post changes through a form. The form goes to a method which I've written like so:    (The reason for the namespace(...) bit is to avoid actually including REQUEST, as this will have manage_changeProperties() emit an "Your changes have been saved" thing.) I could have pointed the form to manage_editProperties (ie., <form action="manage_editProperties">), but this would also have given me the "Your changes..." thing. The above works, except it explicitly addresses the "MyObjectInfo" property sheet, and I'd like to have posting mechanism that can fill in the properties of any property sheet. Is that possible? Am I as way, way off track as I think I am? -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.'" --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_
