I can't reproduce this behavior. If you can reproduce it on a blank Zope (just rename your Data.fs file to something else) with two simple images, then I'll look at it. -Michel > -- > ~mindlace > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 ) >

At 200 messages a day, the zope list can be, uhm, difficult to deal with. I do not know the status of the ZClass tutorial, but I do know that it is slated for improvement. What form or how long that improvement will take, I do not know. -Michel

I tried to create a product and a configuration interface, as described in the content-manager's guide.

Problem Using PSGML + Emacs for Editing DTML Documents
by Alastair Burt 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

I guess this message would be more suited to a mailing list for Emacs PSGML mode but I have yet to find such a beast and I gather there are some users of PSGML mode on this mailing list. Basically, I am trying to write a DTD for DTML to use with PSGML and I have one major problem. I am using include exceptions to allow DTML tags to be scattered anywhere within HTML code: <!ENTITY % dtml "DTML-VAR | DTML-IF | DTML-CALL | DTML-WITH | DTML-IN | DTML-UNLESS | DTML-RAISE | DTML-TRY| DTML-COMMENT | DTML-TREE | DTML-SQL-VAR | DTML-SQL-TEST | DTML-SENDMAIL | DTML-MIME"> <!ELEMENT HTML O O (%html.content;) +(%dtml;) -- document root element --> <!ATTLIST HTML %i18n; -- lang, dir -- %version; > This seems to work fine if the DTML/HTML code is all in a single file but does not work so well if the DTML document is split across several files. This is typically the case when accessing DTML methods and documents via ftp. When I edit a file in this way, I set the variable sgml-parent-document to '("~/lib/sgml/dummy.html" "html" "body" ())), where ~/lib/sgml/dummy.html contains the single line which is my DTML doctype declaration: <!doctype html public "-//DFKI//DTD DTML//EN"> Unfortunately, using sgml-parent-document like this does not lead PSGML to let me insert DTML tags into the DTML child document. I have, in fact, got the setup to more or less work by adding the dtml includes as an exception to the "body" element as well. But this is an ugly kludge. It hard wires "body" as the top element of a DTML document. So the question I have for PSGML gurus is: is there any voodoo I can insert in the value of sgml-parent-document that will let my include exceptions for "html" be seen in the child document? --- Alastair

MegaMedia Upload External Method -- need advice
by Loren Stafford 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

You who have experience with file uploads please tell me if what I am about to do is reasonable. I want to make a ZClass -- call it "MegaMedia" -- whose instances represent (1:1) massive multimedia files that are stored on the file system. Somewhere in MegaMedia, there must be an external method that writes the file being uploaded into it's rightful place in the Unix filesystem. I imagine that I can just subclass FieldStorage from cgi.py, and override the make_file method with my own method that figures out where the file will reside on the filesystem. Thus, uploaded files will be written to disk only once -- no temporary files. Is this a sensible strategy? It seems too easy, to be true. What worries me is what Unix does with the payload before FieldStorage opens STDIN. I suppose Unix stores the file in a I/O buffer in virtual memory. How can you possibly be sure you have enough VM for all the multimegabyte multimedia files that might be uploaded at once? -- Thanks -- Loren
