Yeah. That's what Michel told me, too. Unfortunately, I don't think I had a choice in the matter... Donner

Here's what Michel suggested for me to try: <dtml-call "manage_changeProperty(prop = prop + 1)"> Just make sure counter is a property.

Note that *alot* of the underlying permission stuff in ZClasses and products has changed in the beta one. These changes are documented in the CHANGES.txt. I would make sure you review these before we call it a bug. >From CHANGES.txt: - A number of changes have been made to enhance security control in through-the-web-developed products: - There are new "Permission" objects that can be added to Products. Permission objects provide a mechanism for defining new permissions. These new permissions show up in folder security screens. - Factory objects can have permission settings. This affects whether items show up in add lists and who can use factories. - Objects in products now have permission mapping rather than direct permission settings just like ZClass methods. - New permissions cannot be defined in ZClasses any longer. Rather, ZClasses can select from global permissions, including permissions defined with permission objects. Here's a sample scenario: 1. Add a ZClass, "Container" with the option to create a factory and constructor methods. 2. Add a permission object with the permission "Manage Containers". 3. Change the permission of the factory created in step 1 to "Manage Containers". 4. Visit the ZClass created in step 1, view the "Define Permissions" view and map the "Create class instances" permission to "Manage Containers". 5. Visit the constructor DTML Methods created in step 1, view the "Define Permissions" view and map the "View" permission to "Manage Containers". In this scenario, we created a ZClass and made it addable only by users (roles) that have the "Manage Containers" permission. -Michel > Kevin >

Oh, it will be soon. We are currently working with a customer to resolve some issues of both resource starvation (old connections not getting closed), as well as bringing it up to something more than L2 on Zope2. Once this is baked, we will release all the source code. > Also, any progress on the "Database Adapters Author's Guide" mentioned on > the Database Adapters page? Wow, never knew anyone had offered such a beast. :-) I will talk to our documentation person (Pam) about getting it at least listed, as it is a good idea, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath! :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

Currently I am debugging the Sybase DA as we speak. The real pain is the ctsybase module, which currently apears to have no maintainer, and may not be threadsafe. The first Sybase DA release will be a sanity release and will only be Level 1. Shortly following that will be a level 2 DA. Level 3 is a ways off due to more needed analysis. -Michel > Anthony > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

This is quite easy. Configure a ZSQL method called 'mySQLMethod' to accept a number of arguments, let's call them 'a', 'b', and 'c'. Now create a form: <form action="insertData"> <input name="a"> <input name="b"> <input name="c"> <input type=submit value=" Click "> Then a DTML method called 'insertData' containing:  'mySQLMethod' will automagicly look in the namespace of the REQUEST for the values of a b and c. Since a b and c were passed into insertData in a form, it will find them there. This is equivelent to calling the ZSQL method like this:  -Michel > Any ideas? > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >
