Can't find documentation for methods like manage_clone...
by Stefan Riegel 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

Hi, just started exploring Zope for about one day. I worked throu the tutorials in the Content Manager's Guide. For example at page 28 they use methods like manage_changeProperties or manage_clone. I assume their are more useful methods, but where are they documented? I searched for hours! Am I blind or what did I miss? Tank You Stefan E-Mail: sriegel(a)privat.circular.de

Not to tramps on our illustrious developer, but this is a bad idea... you should instead use: <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER.name> or <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> The reasons for this are multitudinous, but largely derived from behaviour of more advanced user mechanisms, like LDAP.

But after reading the ZODB features, I am trying to see whether or not ZODB is suitable for my project. If it is suitable, I might as well take the advantage of it & save me some works from messing with RDBM. Regards, Ping __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Newbie Q: Mime attachments

27 Sep '99

If this is a FAQ please point me where I can RTFM and I'll be more than happy to do so :) I'm still trying to get my mind around this entire Zope application, but I have managed to do a simple mail form with attachments..My question is that although the attachment does go through, the name of the file doesn't, and the attachment often is named something "from left field" ie: ATT08015.ATT or something similar.. I would like the name of the file to be maintained with the attachment. Here is my sample: <form method=post action=SendEmail ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> Subject: <input type=text name=subject size=40><br> <textarea name=body rows=10 cols=50> </textarea><br> File To Send: <INPUT TYPE=file NAME="afile" SIZE="25"><br> <input type=submit value="Send Email"> </form>  To: Eric Culpepper <eculpepper(a)hcc-care.com> (left as is for testing purposes.) From: Eric Culpepper <eculpepper(a)hcc-care.com> (left as is for testing purposes.) Subject:      Any help or pointers would be most appreciated! Eric Culpepper

Re: [Zope] Force "login"/authentication?
by Kevin Dangoor 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

Off the top of my head, you could make a DTML Method and set the "View" permission to Manager (instead of anonymous or acquire permissions). Then, when you create a link to this method, the user will have to authenticate. This is untested, but the method could probably be something like this: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(HTTP_REFERRER)"> (or maybe it would have to be: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('HTTP_REFERRER')"> Another option would be to link to the method via a relative URL, then make the method chop the end off of the URL and redirect to that.

PCGI is simpler. At the time we needed something like FastCGI, it just wasn't stable enough or had much support. PCGI was a simple solution to the problem, at the cost of some performance. Recently, FCGI support has been added to Apache and is aparently pretty stable. Robin Dunn has since implimented FCGI into Zope. This will be released soon. FCGI does not incur the overhead of a fork() call. -Michel > > chas > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

I don't think I'd want to use it to edit my DTML :) Also, IE seems to cache things more vigorously when you use Flash's Get URL command. I've got a Flash navbar on my Zope site, and I find that the page is not always refreshed as I'd like. This could be because I have my pages masquerading as normal HTML to trick search engines... Flash *is* good for doing absolute positioning, but I'm not sure how well it would work for creating forms that are supposed to be printed. That's definitely *not* what Flash was designed for :) Kevin

Passing information from a form to an SQL method via a DTML metho d d
by Peter Whysall 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

I'm getting stuck with this. I have a DTML document, doc.dtml, with a form whose action, act.dtml, tells the user "thank you very much, please call again" and runs an SQL method, new.sql, which inserts data from fields a,b,c (from doc.dtml) into the MySQL database. Obviously it's not working, else I wouldn't be writing this :) What I want to know is this: how do I perform the following tasks (I've had a look in the DTML user's guide and can't find anything to help me): 1. Pass data as an attribute/property/parameter from a DTML document to a DTML method and hence to a ZSQL method. Do I need to set up some variables, populate them with my data, and pass them to the DTML method which then passes them to the SQL method? 2. Glean data from a query and pass that too (example. We know who the logged in user is, via AUTHENTICATED_USER.name; this is a key in the USERS table in the database and I want to look up the user_id and insert that, not the textual name) 3. Pass the current date/time; I can get it, like this: <dtml-var ZopeTime fmt="rfc822">. How do I squizz this along to the query? Alternatively, am I completely missing the point here? Many thanks in advance Peter.
