Re: [Zope] ZClass, ZTables and PTK

ZClass is a new Zope2 feature that allows you to create your own classes, all from within the management interface. ZTables is a commercial add-on from DC that allows you to create tables of information (even loading info from DBF files) that you can index and access quickly. However, Zope2 features a very powerful tool called ZCatalog. This lets you index objects anywhere in your ZODB. ZCatalog is very powerful and flexible. The PTK or ZPT is the "Zope Portal Toolkit". This consists of News, Membership and something else (I think). These features are still in the works, but you can already see them taking shape on the new beta zope.org site.

How to tree from top?
by Loren Stafford 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

I want to make a tree for navigation that always starts from the topmost object regardless of the level of the current object. But what is the ID of the topmost object? I tried , but that gets an error. I tried enclosing the tree in  but that doesn't work either. Zope 1.10 -- Thanks -- Loren

Once you've installed Python (if you have the ports collection installed, you can find it at /usr/ports/lang/python) download the Zope source archive, extract it, enter it's directory and type 'python wo_pcgi.py'.

If the directory _does_ exist, then I don't know whats going on here. I'll be out all next week, so your best bet is to put it in the Collector to make sure it doesn't fall off everyone's radar.

Re: [Zope] Zope and Macromedia Flash
by Kevin Dangoor 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

This is certainly doable with ZClasses, I would think. I plan to do more with Flash, so I may put this together at some point... In the meantime, you can use Flash 4 and cut and paste the code it produces. (Flash 3 had some separate program for generating the HTML snippets... it's built in and fairly convenient in Flash 4) Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Arnaud Lecat <lecat(a)hexanet.fr> To: Phil Harris <phil(a)philh.org> Cc: ZOPE <zope(a)zope.org> Date: Friday, August 20, 1999 9:11 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope and Macromedia Flash >Yeah, but what about all the commands that you must include for >playing the Flash movie ???

What do you need to know to Zope?
by David Tew 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

I am (a newbie) wishing to get together a team in India that is able to develop web applications for Indian requirements, using Zope, if it is suitable. Such applications would include consumer biased web sites, and also organisation-to-organisation as well as inter-organisation type applications, over distributed sites, such as across a value chain or supply chain. One aim is to use client server stuff as little as possible - remote/distributed management/participation and thin clients (browser only) are very attractive issues for India we guess. Many application requirements will start off with simple data capture/information display (server side database, structured data) across the distributed users sites. Some of these applications are expected to need more groupware-like facilities over time. Others would need straight-forward internet-based groupware-like applications straight away.I am initially looking to recruit 5 people in India to look at and try Zope for several weeks so that we can demonstrate for ourselves its suitability. I myself don't have a background in software development (more from the side of application need). I shall be greatly helped if somebody could recommend to me the skills-set/background experience that I should ask of these 5 so that, as a team, they will more likely get to grips with the scope for Zope. Thank you in advance... David Tew, InfoEuro Telematics Ltd

Another problem...
by Donald Holten 20 Aug '99

I have the following Initialize method: def Initialize(self, REQUEST): self.count = 0 REQUEST=REQUEST.set('count', self.count) self.propertysheets.Properties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) self.extendedIPlist = "" REQUEST=REQUEST.set('extendedIPlist', self.extendedIPlist) self.propertysheets.Properties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) datetmp = os.popen("date", 'r') self.dateOfInit = datetmp.readlines()[0] datetmp.close() splitdate = string.split(self.dateOfInit) day = splitdate[2] month = splitdate[1] year = splitdate[5] self.dateOfInit = "" while count < len(datefmt): element = datefmt[count] if element == "D": self.dateOfInit = self.dateOfInit + day elif element == "M": self.dateOfInit = self.dateOfInit + month elif element == "Y": self.dateOfInit = self.dateOfInit + year else: self.dateOfInit = self.dateOfInit + element count = count + 1 REQUEST=REQUEST.set('dateOfInit', self.dateOfInit) self.propertysheets.Properties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) return I call Initialize by:  <dtml-with WebSolveAccess> <dtml-call "Initialize(this(), REQUEST)"> </dtml-with>  Unfortunately I get the following error when using it: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'None' object has no attribute 'set' It sounds to me like REQUEST=None, but I don't know where that's coming from... Any ideas of what is wrong with this? Thanks! Donner
