No role, not even superuser, has permission to remove a ZCatalog object. I tried to use the bug form to file this, but Principia wasn't available. Thanks Bruce

I vaguely remember someone a few months ago posting something about a PHP based 'Application Server'.

type conversion required?
by Graham Chiu 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

I would like to save the html product of a database query for subsequent recall. If I have something like this:    where PRICE is a numeric field from the database, then I get a typeError - presumably because PRICE is numeric and the others are text. How do I convert PRICE into a string to avoid this problem? ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz

Publishing a sub-folder in 2.0.0a3
by bruce＠perens.com 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Evan Simpson sent me a fix for publishing a sub-folder, and I have ported that fix to 2.0.0a3 . Do not apply this patch naively, I've tested it once and I'm not at all familliar with the internals of Zope. It's posted here for discussion. The Apache rewrite rule is changed to add ZOPE_OMIT_STEPS=1 to the environment. The patch makes ZPublisher chop as many initial pathname elements as specified in ZOPE_OMIT_STEPS.

Subsiting.
by Andreas Kostyrka 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Hi! I've created a subsite patch for Zope 2.0.0a3. The usage is easy, just add a E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:num, to the RewriteRule, where n is the number of ids to drop. So for example, the following RewriteRule is correct: <VH www.photoderm.at> ... RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/htdocs/cgi/mtg/mtg.cgi/sites/photoderm.at/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:2,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] ... </VH> This way, Zope drops 2 folders (/sites/photoderm.at) in the beginning. Something like this should probably be included with the standard distribution. This patch doesn't change a thing in the normal path processing, it does munge the REQUEST only when ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER is activated.

statement starting from "root" folder
by Perez, Victor 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Hi zoppers: First of all, I just started working on zope so I apologize if this question if too obvious for you, but I didn't find the answer on the docs.... I'm trying to make a navigation section on the left of my pages, something pretty near to the  statement, but I don't want the "plus" signs, so I decided to work with  statements based on a example I've found on the Zbook doc (zb_all_view). My "navigation" DTML starts with  and I want it to always start from the "root" folder, showing only the subfolders for the branch I'm inside. Any help is welcomed. - Atentamente, Victor Perez Muena Automation Support - Port Area (Los Vilos) Los Pelambres Project - Bechtel Chile Ltda. Ext. 8033, Phone: (2) 361-8033 - Fax: (2) 361-8025

Recursive DTML?
by jason＠brahms.siteprotect.com 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Is there any way to have recursive #var references in DTML? I have the usual standard_html_header reference at the top of all of my DTML files, but I would like to include some #var references in the header. For example, standard_html_header = """ <html> <head> <title> My title is  <title> </head>""" I naively tried this, but the mytitle reference came through as a comment. Is there some easy way to make this work? Thanks, -jason
