09 Aug '99

hey guys, sorry, i have another question: How can I display dates and time smart. That what I did so far: I wrote an external method that returns a DateTime object. I call it:  But I want to display everything like I wish using strftime syntax. I tried to pass a format attribute to the external function, but I could not figure out, how to call this function with an attribute. Please help. stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer

Creating instances of ZClass based products from within an External Method?
by Phil Harris 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

Hi all, I have made a ZClass based product, homepage. I want this to be created automaticaly the first time someone log's onto the system. This is to allow a self registration system to automatically create the 'homepage' for an individual. After their first login they will have a simple homepage setup for them with acl_users and index_html in there. I know I could just create a folder and then stick in the acl_users and index_html but there will be other stuff added to the product at a later date. My question is, how the f**k do you do it. Creating the builtins (folder,document, etc) is a piece of cake, but ZClass based products, sheesh, I'm almost on the edge of giving up! Excuse me if I'm rambling but, I'm getting a bit confused, ;) TIA Phil phil(a)philh.org

DTML examples in structured text
by Kevin Dangoor 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

Hi, If I want to put some example DTML code in Structured Text, how do I get the structured-text rendered without having the DTML interpreted? Here's what I'm thinking of... Blah blah blah blah blah, for example:: <dtml-var standard_html_header> foo... <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Right now, the header and footer are getting rendered when I do a <dtml-var info_stx fmt="structured-text"> Thanks, Kevin

Performance & Stability
by Marten Quadland 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

I'm interested in any zope benchmark tests regarding performance and stability against the alternatives. Is there any where I can read to build my confidence in Zope's performance and stability against extremely high transactional volume?

RE: [Zope] Zope2 on Win32 and PCGI
by Brian Lloyd 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

> Hi again, > > By the way, what happened to Zope.cgi on Win32? Does PCGI > still work with Zope 2 on Windows? > > > --Brian Hooper Brian, The 1.x versions of Zope used a pcgi-like (but not actually PCGI) strategy for connectivity on NT that was based on NT named pipes. That is no longer supported for Z2, in favor of using pcgi for win32 w/ ZServer. The old thing would have required a non-trivial amount of rework to work in the new multi-threaded Z2 world, and we hope the options of plain ZServer or ZServer w/pcgi can be made to work for the short term. We do hope that eventually there will be other options (like either a pcgi dll for IIS, mod_pcgi for Apache, or work on a ZServer named-pipe listener and more work on A. Staabo's IIS named-pipe connector dll. Currently, you need to look at the README.NT file in the pcgi/Win32 directory of your Zope installation for more info on setting up pcgi to work on NT.

hiding site content based upon a domain? (similar to htaccess)
by Tony McDonald 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

Is there any way to restrict access to a section of a site (and all objects under it) to a particular domain, or to make a section/sub-objects available to only a particular domain? I'm basically trying to get some of the functionality of htaccess in a Zope setup. cheers tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

I think you just need to use an underscore instead of a dash: ?expand_all=1 Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
