How do I specify an ftp port in emacs?
by Jim Cain 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

All, I've used vi since 1985, and I'm just now trying out emacs. I found out how to edit a file over ftp, but the syntax doesn't seem to allow a port specification. How do I do this? Yes, this sounds more appropriate for an emacs newsgroup, but I need an answer as soon as possible, and I've heard Zope folks talk about using emacs to edit their sites. Thanks, Jim

VERSION 1.00a - DTML CHEAT SHEET & EXAMPLE FOLDER
by Theodore Patrick 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

DTML CHEAT SHEET and EXAMPLE FOLDER DOCUMENTATION TREE There are few USEFUL DTML EXAMPLES of TAG SYNTAX that exist in the documentation. I am willing to spend time put together a DTML CHEAT SHEET and EXAMPLE FOLDER. To make this truly useful to everyone, everyone needs to contribute what they know and what they do not. Hopefully we will all fill in the gaps of knowledge about DTML & ZOPE. Making ZOPE an even better product. As I realize this might quickly get out of hand, might I suggest some rules for contributing to this effort. HERE ARE THE RULES: (PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE - THANKS) 1. ADD THINGS YOU KNOW 2. ADD THINGS YOU DO NOT 3. TRY TO KEEP THEM ORGANIZED. 4. FOLLOW THE SYNTAX FOR EXAMPLES 5. DO NOT DELETE - ADD ALTERNATIVE METHODS i.e. ALT="" 6. ADD HINTS FOR OTHERS 7. NO FLAMES PLEASE OR SEND THEM DIRECT - NOT TO THE LIST FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF NEEDED: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THEODORE E.

Referring to a property of a folderish object?
by Suder Steen SFS 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

This is probaply a piece of cake if you're into OO. Thats why I'm having a bit of trouble. I have several folders with an index_html in them. I'd like the index_html to have the same title as the containing folder. I've tried , , ,  just to mention a few. How do I refer to the title of the containing folder from within a contained document or method? Another thing... I use my membership page to put small notes and tips in (well, only one at the moment :-); how do I make the tips on the page appear in a search on a covered subject? Best regards, Steen Suder Member ID: sfs

I think these two paragraphs are a neat idea. Maybe instead of a folder what if you had a drop-in object called a CVS_Container. The CVS_Container would contain the IDs of some number of Zope objects. Visiting the CVS_Container would let you add/edit/delete elements in the Container and/or check-in/out/update. I think a folder would often be too "large" to correlate nicely into CVS. Thoughts? --Rob

CVS + Zope + WebDAV = DeltaV (??)
by Rob Page 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

The Oct 99 issue of WebTechniques (not yet available online -- just checked :^( contains an article by Jim Whitehead (of WebDAV fame) describing the latest extension to WebDAV called Delta-V. The magazine article does a good job of describing what's involved and it should be considered before anyone spends a lot of time integrating CVS natively with Zope. The deltav spec and other docs is at: http://www.webdav.org/deltav/ --Rob -- Rob Page Phone: +1 540 371 6909 Digital Creations Fax: +1 540 371 1201

> What should Zope source code control look like? Actually, after thinking about this further and discussing it with some colleagues, I've realized that what I need isn't the ability to store Zope objects in a CVS repository after all. It is the ability to use documents already stored in a CVS repository as Zope objects. Ideally, what I need is a Zope product that implements the client side of the CVS protocol, and can allow users to check out, modify, and then commit changes to documents stored in a repository. This seems like a much easier problem to solve than storing Zope objects in CVS. Does anyone know of an existing or planned Zope product that supports this kind of functionality? -jfarr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi! I'm a signature virus.

Zope help for Win NT Workstation
by CURTIS David 23 Sep '99

23 Sep '99

Hi, I can run zope from a windows NT Workstation but other can not see the Zope server. If I type the URL http:\\localhost:8080 it works but if I type in http:\\145.125.146.25:8080 It does not work. Of course other users can not see the server either. I can ping the NT Workstation successfully from other stations though. Any help would be apprechiated!!!
