How can I examine an property of an object from the other object in the other tree?

I have to develop a 2(+more) language site for a historians' society. www.khss.or.kr is that site and it has two main tree, i.e. /korean <-main branch /english <-translated branch I have added a property 'TR' for every Folder and DTML Document in /english branch to distinguish whether it is translated(TR='1') already or not yet(TR='0'). Now , for an example, I want to know the value of /english/members/info's TR value from /korean/members/info. info is DTML Document in both case. The following variations gave me KeyError .    : cf. !--#var isTRed --> gives the string 'english.xx.yy.zz' when called from /korean/xx/yy/zz. The Zope version is 1.10.3. I guess there is a straitfoward way to acomplish this or to build & manage multi-lingual site, but I am exhausted. Any hints are welcome. TIA Lee Kwan Soo.

Sounds like a bug. He means that QUERY_STRING is not passed on in a tree tag. So a page that is generated using the information in the query string (?.....) is useless if a tree tag is needed on that page. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

The problem here is that 2.0 is in a feature freeze. We will however, put it in the next release.

Hi Can anyone explain me quickly the use of version and session objects. I've read the docs but I still don't understand the how, when, why of this.

For example, ZPublisher.Client handles file uploads by reading all the data into memory, and it dies; pcgi-wrapper tries to read all of stdin and also dies, etc. I'm trying to do it from the monitor_client with the following incantation: import Zope ; a=Zope.app() a.manage_addProduct['XMLDocument'].add(a, id='s1', title='Structure', file=open('structure.rdf', 'r') ) I haven't made this work yet, and suspect this is also choking somewhere along the way.

ISP installation of Zope
by Oliver Andrich 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Hi, I am the CTO of an ISP and after doing some Zope projects (only smaller inhouse things) I like to setup Zope as a service for our customers, cause we receive requests for Zope, cause some of the companies we cooperate with already use Python as the primary scripting language. And they want Zope for their customers. What do I have to do so I have one central installation of Zope and something like user installations for our customers. Or do we need Zope for each and every customer? I have looked on the Zope web page, but either I am to dumb or no information is available.

How about overloading URL traversal? Couldn't you write a product which essentially let you embed the session state in a part of the URL, without touching the actual query string? Eg., assuming objects /Commerce and /Book, you might have an URL such as: http://myserver/Commerce/420727498471040a432043f85090/Book/Buy?id=542384 32 Here, the parameter following Commerce is a packed (possibly compressed) dictionary -- or a key into a server-stored gob of session information. Since the browser will treat this part of the URL as a parent collection, there is no need to explicitly pass this information to any hyperlinks or form targets. The only problem I see with this scheme is that use of absolute_url() breaks the acquisition, but this is a small sacrifice to make. Not having explored the world of traversal overloading in Zope, I wouldn't know if this is entirely doable -- traversal must support passing parts of the URL back to the standard traversal engine, that's the key part. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

Tree tag adds transaction in 2.0.0b2, bug?
by Alexander Staubo 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

I have a simple use of the tree tag -- culling data from a Sybase table -- which seems to incur a transaction. It shows up in the undo transaction log. The Sybase SQL Method on its own does not add the transaction. Nothing rendered by the tree tag is to blame, either. This shouldn't happen, should it? -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan.

session management
by TR Henigson 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Has anyone built an object for managing session information in URL's or with cookies between client requests? Is anyone developing one? If such an object does not exist, how would I best implement session management for an e-commerce app? Thank you.
