ZServer unhandled connect event
by Brian Hooper 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hi there - I was wondering if anyone knows what the warning: ZServer unhandled connect event is coming from? (seems to do this on Win32 whenever Zope starts up) Just out of curiosity :-) --Brian

New Navigator Product
by Jonas Juselius 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hello! The Navigator Product is a graphical management device for creating navigation bars. It is quite flexible, and works quite a bit like a Folder object, containing other folder like objects and link like objects. The Navigator makes creation and management of navigation bars fairly easy, even for unexperienced users. The Navigator has (IMHO) a number of nice features: o Possibility to check wether a link exists, and skip broken links o Automatic expiration of links o Automatic generation of 'New' tags o Possibility to make link visible in the future o Rendering of links is determined by acquired DTMLMethods o Possibility to define icons for links o A number of helper functions for use in DTML (e.g. checks if a link is inside, or equals, a path in a REQUEST) o ...and more The Navigator Product can be downloaded from http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/jonas/Navigator The code seems to work pretty well at this stage, but beware, it is still in development stage. The code should probably be cleand up a bit, and there is some duplicate code in the different classes, because something always broke when I tried a nice inheritance structure ;-( All comments are wellcome! jonas -- And what is good, Phaedrus, And what is not--- Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

acl_users dtml access help please...
by Stuart Woolford 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

I'm working on a cut-down replacement for control of users in an acl_users directory from a dtml document, for example, I can: <dtml-if names> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('names',names)"> <dtml-call "manage_users('Delete',REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL0)"> </dtml-if> to remove users from a list of users selected for removal, it works well, HOWEVER.. I also need to change the roles of users between a defined set I have in select lists on the form, I cannot work out how to do this, I either need to use manage_users('Change',...), for which I have to know their previous password, or I need to give them a new password, I cannot work out how to address the password a user already has, which is in the __ variable (to make it hard to get at, I'm guessing). This is in Zope 2.0.0, BTW. for example, I can quite happly use (roles and thepass are lists off my form) <dtml-if roles> <dtml-in roles> <dtml-var expr="getUsers()[_['sequence-index']].name>" <dtml-var expr="roles[_['sequence-index']]">: <dtml-var expr="thepass[_['sequence-index']]"> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> Bt I cannot work out a line to print a password (ie: the equivalent of the following) <dtml-var expr="getUsers()[_['sequence-index']]".__>: can anyone help me???? ------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart Woolford, stuartw(a)newmail.net Unix Consultant.

DCOracle on win32?
by Arpad Kiss 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hi, I have built the DCOracle on a Windows NT box and I can use it from python(I have tested connect, select, update). But it doesn't work with Zope 2. When I try to open the connection my Zope terminates with an unhandled software exception, if I try to use manage_open_connection method in the monitor client I get this traceback(the real connect string is replaced with *): ------ 1999-09-07T12:11:01 PROBLEM(100) ZServer BadRequest Invalid connection string: <CODE>***/***@***</CODE>  [D:\TestSite\ZServer\medusa\monitor.py|found_terminator|94] [<secure_monitor_channel connected 127.0.0.1:1850 at c02210>|?|0] [D:\TestSite\lib\python\Shared\DC \ZRDB\Connection.py|manage_open_connection|179] [D:\TestSite\lib\python\Shared\DC\ZRDB\Connection.py|connect|197] [D:\TestSite\lib\python\Products\ZOracleDA\db. py|__init__|122] [ocidb.py|__init__|69] Traceback (innermost last): File "D:\TestSite\ZServer\medusa\monitor.py", line 94, in found_terminator result = eval (co, self.local_env) File "<secure_monitor_channel connected 127.0.0.1:1850 at c02210>", line 0, in ?

Has anyone been here before? Any ideas? > Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hmm.. this indeed does not work at all, because that's not the way DTML works. What you could do is this:  ... generated conditions ...   ... Another condition ...    ... Another condition ...   Now, if your LogOp equals 'AND', then the 'and' block will actually be used, because it contains output, but the 'or' block will not be used, because it remains empty. And, of course, when LogOp equals 'OR', it will be the other way around. So, with LogOp == 'AND' you'll get: where ...generated conditions... and ...Another condition.. and with LogOp == 'OR' you'll get: where ...generated conditions... or ...Another condition.. which is what I think you want.. -- 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 ------------------------------------------

How to test a file ?
by Arnaud Lecat 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hi I have a dtml-in loop which cycle through documents of a directory. How can I test if the current item in the loop is the document wich is displayed at the moment ? It's for sidebar menu purpose. I'd like to make the current document bold or something else... I've heard that such a menu could be made with a ZCatalog component. Is that true ? How ? -- >> 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.
