DateTime adding not working
by Jason Spisak 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

I want a date that is 14 days after today, and I tried  and I get a bad operand error. The source says that you can "a positive or negative number and a date-time object may be added to obtain a new date-time object that is the given number of days later..." Anyone know how to accomplish this? -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

newbe problem with indirection
by Perez, Victor 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

Hi there: I have a folder with photos of the office team. Since I don't have all pictures, I want to show a "no photo available" instead, so I've created a "showpic" method with the follow:    ? (Photo not available)  This method is called from a document the following way:  The idea is to have the "no photo available" until I place the proper image on the folder, but it's not working. If I make it call some image still not available I get the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 877, in publish_module File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 590, in publish (Info: /port/team/index_html) File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\OFS\DTMLDocument.py, line 213, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\OFS\DTMLDocument.py, line 209, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 513, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File E:\Intranet\index\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 266, in eval (Object: showpic(_.None,_,pic='img_Kevin_Rooney')) File <string>, line 0, in ?

I've placed the #if tag to avoid this error but doesn't work. Any ideas? - Atentamente, Victor Perez Muena IS&T Support - Port Area (Los Vilos) Los Pelambres Project - Bechtel Chile Ltda.

FTP filesize problem
by Robin Becker 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

I have a file object with reported size from the manage interface of 2,886,010 bytes. My FTP client reports the size as 67962 bytes. I know the file size to be the former so is the FTP server broken or my FTP client. I see some files 109,056 bytes long which is reported the same in both interfaces. -- Robin Becker

Zope 2.0.0 withdrawn from release
by Christopher Petrilli 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

Due to the security problem reported and resolved last night, we are retracting the 2.0.0 release from availability at this point. We are working hard to produce a 2.0.1 release today that encompasses that fix as well as potentially many other bug fixes. More news as it develops.

Zope2.0.0 final - hung.
by Tony McDonald 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

I have a weird one here. I've been using Zope 2.0.0 final, binary release, Solaris 5.6 since it came out. It's been fine. Now it's hung. 'top' shows (my username only) load averages: 0.03, 0.07, 0.11 13:45:59 297 processes: 296 sleeping, 1 on cpu CPU states: 97.1% idle, 0.0% user, 0.8% kernel, 2.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Memory: 512M real, 8712K free, 739M swap in use, 813M swap free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 6508 nnle 1 18 0 2024K 1488K cpu/2 0:00 0.27% top 5586 nnle 1 23 0 2072K 1848K sleep 0:00 0.01% tcsh 2377 nnle 7 33 0 11M 8696K sleep 2:27 0.00% python 2390 nnle 1 33 0 2680K 1872K sleep 0:02 0.00% mysql 2376 nnle 4 16 0 4296K 1200K sleep 0:00 0.00% python 6203 nnle 1 23 0 2064K 1816K sleep 0:00 0.00% tcsh 17 nnle 1 23 0 1960K 1328K sleep 0:00 0.00% tcsh 6434 nnle 1 34 0 2664K 2192K sleep 0:00 0.00% lynx ie Python isn't taking up large amounts of CPU. I've tried connecting to the server using Lynx etc. and no joy. The FTP server on port 8021 is also not responding. I haven't *as yet* killed the processes and started new ones, as I'd *really* like to know what it is I've done. The only thing I've done is to use the binary release of python to do some MySQL work. I haven't installed Andy Dustmans' MySQLdb-0.1.0 yet. I used the same python installation that the Zope server is using. Is it possible I've done something to the 'interpreter lock' or somesuch... If the outcome is that I should leave the Zope python binary well alone whilst Zope is running - then that is completely icebox with me. I hate to say this, but .... help!. 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

Re: [Zope] Re: [ZDP] Wysiwyg and the merits of a webinterface - some considerations
by Kevin Dangoor 17 Sep '99

17 Sep '99

I agree that the web interface does provide useful functionality, particularly for the developers. I have a couple of comments in relation to using a WYSIWYG editor: - There are probably many cases where the user needs to work on a pretty standard "document". They are revising the text, adding an image, etc. It seems plausible that we can create something to allow people to work with this kind of object in a wysiwyg editor. That would be a lot nicer than requiring the user to type to boldface something. The "Formatted Document" object on the Zope.org site would allow people to create docs without a single bit of DTML (because the standard_html_header and footer are included automatically). This is probably enough for some situations. Turn "Formatted Document" into an ObjectManager, and it may even be possible to include associated images directly with the document. - People have talked about the problems with retrieving rendered vs. unrendered objects. Keep in mind that everything is extensible... we all have the ability to create new objects *and* the source code for the whole system... I think it is possible to make wysiwyg solutions tailored toward specific needs. Maybe it is complicated for the page designer to use Dreamweaver to edit the header and footer objects... but it is quite possibly not that complicated for the people writing the content to use Dreamweaver (or Frontpage) to edit something like a "Formatted Document". Want to be able to use DTML in the documents, but have a problem with DTML Methods coming out pre-rendered? Subclass DTML Methods and change the FTP support to send you the raw text... I'll grant that it will be difficult to consistently and conveniently handle every situation out there based on the tools and protocols that are readily available today. But, I do think it is possible to handle many situations with just a little bit of Zope development. Kevin

Use <dtml-var sequence-number> - that will give you the 1-based number of the item. Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

inside a <dtml-in> tag , i have <dtml-var sequence-index>, showing the number of the item in the sequence. The first item starts with the value 0, whereas i'd like it to start with the value 1. can i in any way specify this with the "fmt=whatever" property, or do i have to make an expression to add 1 to all the sequence-index-numbers ? thanks ------------------------------------------------ Geir B Hansen geirh(a)funcom.com Web-designer / Graphic artist Funcom Oslo ------------------------------------------------
