Tim - get dtml-mode.el from http://www.spyderlab.com/zope.html , then (autoload 'dtml-mode "dtml-mode") (put-alist 'dtml-mode "\\.dtml\\'" auto-mode-alist) If I'm use the new <dtml> tags, I find html-mode works better.

Re: [Zope] Z Class troubles...
by Kevin Dangoor 19 Aug '99

Hi, Since count is a property, you'll need to do something like this: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', count+1)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> You would probably do this in your Count method... The "problem" with this is that you'll get a new transaction in the database for every hit. Some people have looked at this problem before (I think there is a counter product out there for which someone worked on a workaround).

Z Class troubles...
by Donald Holten 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

I have a Z Class with a property count and a function GetCount. Here's GetCount: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('count', Count(REMOTE_ADDR=REMOTE_ADDR, count=count, excludedIPlist=excludedIPlist))">  It should increment count by one, since that is what Count does when I call it by itself (without the REQUEST.set). But instead I get count = 0. Now, GetCount is a method in a Z Class. When I call it in the class, I get count = 0. When I call it from an instance, it doesn't print anything. Here's how I'm calling it from a DTML page: <dtml-with WebSolveAccess> <dtml-call InitCounter> <dtml-call GetCount> </dtml-with> I'd like to be able to print out count's value from this DTML page, but I can't. Is there a way I can print the value of count from the DTML page, and is there a way I can get count to increment like I want it to? Thanks for the help! Donner

Mailman w/ Zope
by Tim Wilson 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

Hi Zopesters, I'd like to set up Mailman (http://www.list.org/) on the same machine as my Zope site. I notice that the zope list runs on Mailman. I'd be happy to run my whole site with ZServer, but I'm wondering it it's possible to use the automatically generated Mailman subscription/subscriber info page from Zope, or do I need to incorporate Zope and Apache to do that? -Tim -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.

In short assume I am Yes it does.

We have similar needs, altough not necesarily competition driven. We need to move onto more consulting work which will require more documentation for our paying customers. Otherwise we loose money answering questions that could just be documented. > it WILL ship with VERY VERY good documentation.

I wouldn't say poor documentation is a cost, but it is a contributing factor to high costs. As an example, it took me about three man-days (over the course ofa week) to find enough documentation on the new Linux software RAID to get it right. ALl the faqs, howtos, and source docs were out of day. In fact, there were three 'official' RAID homepages, each with a different version of the software at various points in it's development stages and for various kernels. It was maddening. I know how you feel. Trust me, we're on it. We're not sitting back and ignoring all of these threads on documentation. There are also some recent developments that cannot be discussed at the moment (think bound sheets of paper) that will bring us into a serious light with people who like docs. -Michel
