Calling external methods with the current object
by Martijn Faassen 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hi there, I keep running into variations of this problem. I want to call an external method and pass the 'self' object (and REQUEST) to it, but explicitly. But still the *current* self. So I have an external method like this: def foo(self, REQUEST): pass The Advanced DTML Howto mentions this: ---- Variable rendering The DTML var tag does not merely lookup variables, but it "renders" them. The process of rendering is not just coercing objects into strings, but calling objects if they are callable, and handling DTML objects specially. Zope's rendering rules are designed to do what Zope thinks is the right way to display an object. However, you may not always want to let Zope render and object automatically. For example, Zope normally renders DTML objects referred to in other DTML objects by calling them the with current DTML namespace stack. ---- And then it goes on how to call it with *other* DTML namespace stacks. But how do I refer to the current DTML namespace stack explicitly? 'self' in DTML doesn't work. Regards, Martijn

Re: [Zope] Need to call external programs in a DTML

There aren't just simple INSERT's or UPDATE's There are tables that should be opened, complex operations that should be made so I need an external program written for example in Tcl that will operate with lists, arrays and so on. I realise that a Python module would be just fine but I'm not familiar with Python. There should be some simple "exec myprogram" tricks that would allow execution of any external program. -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA

Public CVS checkout hasn't updated files in several days
by Jim Cain 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

I've been maintaining my copy of Zope using public CVS. When I ran this command: cvs -z7 -q up -P -d on August 10 and again on August 12 (today), there were no changes. I think the last time I received updates was August 5. Surely there have been changes since then. Cheers, Jim

Win 32 installation question...
by Arnaud Lecat 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hi I was wondering if I could install the new beta over and over the same installation or if I must uninstall old version for installing new version (in this case will I lose my current project) ? Other question... What must I do if I want to setup two sites using Zope ? Make two install in different directories ? How can I change the port which is used (8080) by server ? That's all for now :) -- >> WinErr: 080 Clavier introuvable - Veuillez appuyer sur n'importe quelle touche pour continuer. << Arnaud LECAT >> Email: lecat(a)hexanet.fr >> WWW page:www.hexanet.fr/~lecat HEXANET >> http://www.hexanet.fr Z.A.

Z Class?
by Ainis Baradokas 12 Aug '99

Sorry for the lame question but What is Z Class? I looked in my zope management interface but found no such object as ZClass. Where can I find some docs which explain how to use this stuff?

RE: [Zope] Copying and pasting Z Class instances
by Brian Lloyd 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

> I'm talking about instances of ZClasses -- not the ZClasses objects > themselves. Here's a cut/paste traceback: Hmm - does this happen to _all_ of your ZClasses, or just certain ones? I have a b4 test install here and I can't reproduce this :( Perhaps it could have something to do with the particular classes you are using - can you tell me what the base classes are for one of your ZClasses that is exhibiting this behavior?
