increment variable
by Mike Mikkelsen 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

Hello again, I think I've seen this subject on the list before but I'm having a hard time wording it right so as to find it in the archives. Is there a way, without PythonMethod & External Python Methods, to increment a variable (possibly a cookie value)? Something like this: <dtml-var "_['PresetCookie']=_['PresetCookie']+1"> or <dtml-var "_['PresetCookie']=_['PresetCookie']+_['product_cost']"> I've tried the above, to no avail. I get syntax errors as soon as I try to save the changes to the document. Thank you. -- ========================================================================== Mike Mikkelsen mikk(a)microbsys.com Micro Business Systems http://www.microbsys.com Fresno Linux Users Group http://linux.fresno.ca.us Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion

Anyone done this or ideas? Word 2000 has a strange, new, funny, yet almost normal-for-Microsoft way of working with (read -- round-tripping) with HTML. They have a bunch of XML at the top of the document embedded in an HTML comment (looking almost like old style DTML actually) that contains a lot of the extra Word 2K meta-information (like author and whatnot). Images and other related files are handled in a similar fashion using some XML/HTML hybrid-ing. Style sheets are used heavily. The good thing about all this (I suppose) is that you don't lose a lot of special Word information when going to and from the web. If you're using Word 2000, open a normal HTML file that's like the document that you want and save it in Words HTML format and see what happens and try to re-create it with DTML to have dynamic generation on the Zope side. Re-structure the document to look like you want it to (Word styles and all that), do the same save and see what's different. Finally, see if you can save it from Word as a .doc and if it keeps the style you want. This is a real hands-on, down-and-dirty-in-the-experimental-slime work if you go my route. Just some suggestions made from observations I've made during my three uses of Word in the past two months. (Or is it two uses in three?) ;)

Hello all, I have seen references made to a Product(?) called Zcron but I can't find any links to it. If there is such a product, would someone be so kind as to send me the URL? Thank you. -- ========================================================================== Mike Mikkelsen mikk(a)microbsys.com Micro Business Systems http://www.microbsys.com Fresno Linux Users Group http://linux.fresno.ca.us Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion

AFAIK, you can't. The best you can do is set the cookie, and redirect to a page that checks if that cookie was set, if not, print a message telling the user to turn on cookies. -Michel

We would like to convert an HTML document to either a RTF or preferably Word DOC. The caveat is that we would like to do this from within Zope (including an external method). Anyone done this or ideas? DR

Can someone loan me a clue? Not sure (never used Emacs under Windows) but be aware that under GNU Emacs (as opposed to XEmacs) the variable to use is 'ange-ftp-make-backup-files'. > 2) If I use ange-ftp to access a Zope folder, I get a nice 'dired' listing. > But when I select a DTML document/method to edit, I get another 'dired' > listing containing just the selected file.

Anyone have any > idea why this might be happening? This sounds weird. I don't see this with XEmacs and the efs package. I'll try it with GNU Emacs (on Linux) when I get home and see if it happens there. If not maybe you need to install Linux. ;) -Doug -- Doug McNaught doug(a)mcnaught.org http://www.mcnaught.org/~doug

Change the content type to something that triggers your browser to save as a file. <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'application/octet-stream')"> or any other content-type which will cause your browser to save a file. This must come at the very beginning of the document. -Michel
