ZCatalog problems
by Jay, Dylan 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

As I understand it searching on multiple indexes gives me results that match the criterea for both indexes. How do I get a result set that has results in either index, ie Index1="blah" OR Index2="blah" instead of Index1="blah" AND Index2="blah". Also I havn't a clue on how catalog a document that is based on a SQL query. Before I can index my site I need to have this information in my index. Has anyone been able to do this?

ZClass Problems
by Jay, Dylan 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

I can't seem to create a default view of my ZClass. I create a document called "index_html". In this I refer to both standard_html_header and standard_html_footer. Both of these have problems when I try render an instance of my class. One gives an authentication error when trying to access "id". The other gives Error type: AttributeError Error value: __call__ <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 179, in publish File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 201, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: CatalogAware) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 165, in publish File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: index_html) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: index_html) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\OFS\DTMLDocument.py, line 166, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 141, in __call__ (Object: standard_html_header) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: standard_html_header) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_With.py, line 148, in render (Object: news.news_items) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 141, in __call__ (Object: ViewNewsItems) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: ViewNewsItems) File D:\PROGRA~1\PROVIS~1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_With.py, line 132, in render (Object: news_items) AttributeError: (see above) These methods have no problem with other documents. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also, how do I change the manage screen for a property sheet. It gives me a default view but what if I want to change it?

Request data and form data
by Li Dongfeng 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

Calling a DTML method/document with argument is easy, like: <A HREF="say_hello?who=<dtml-id>">Say hello</A> This uses URL link to call a DTML document/method. But if I use form submit to call, like <FORM ACTION="say_hello?who=<dtml-id>"> <INPUT TYPE='TEXT' NAME="name" SIZE=20> <INPUT TYPE='submit'> </FORM> then the "say_hello" document will respond with "Name Error: who not found". It seems that using form submit cannot transmit request data like "?who=...". Then how can I supply argument to the responding DTML document, in addition to the form data?

Newbie Question on Informix
by Grant Street 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

Hello all I know you can use ODBC to access Informix from the windows platform. Is there a way to access an informix database using an linux machine? I noticed that there is a python module for Informix, can this help the situation? Does this mean I could access informix if I create python methods to do it? How complicated is it to create the interface to zope? Thanks in advance Grant

You ZClass_add method probably has a call to manage_editProperties or manage_changeProperties... *After* that call, do <dtml-call reindex_object> Also, you can't use the normal property editing page. You need to create your own edit page with a simple DTML method to save the changes like so: <dtml-call "manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call reindex_object> Kevin

Newbie and the ZClass - how to set properties
by dale w lance 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

<insert standard new person grovel here> I have went through the basic tutorial in the Z Classes tutorial and it works fine. Then I enhanced it for my own purposes and can still create instances of my ZClass. Enhancement includes adding more fields to factory form and making it 'ENCR=multipart/form' Now my questions are: 1. How do I see the input values in the new instance? 2. How do I override the properties view so that users would see what I want them to see (not editable). Dale Lance microFrameWorks Inc

How do I get the FULL URL in DTML?
by Stuart Woolford 16 Sep '99

16 Sep '99

I'm trying to write a dtml method which uses a redirect to return to where it was called from, this is not normally a problem, I just pass the <dtml-var URL> to this particular method, and redirect back to it, however I have not hit a problem, I need to return to a form-generated page (actually a SQL search result), and therefore need to include the form data in the return. I can manually re-create it, but is there a better (more generic way) to get the FULL URL a page was called with complete with form data? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart Woolford, stuartw(a)newmail.net Unix Consultant.
