Lo and behold, I found the answer, which is that I'm dealing with a bug here. Of all places, it was in the How-Tos (yes, I've looked there before) http://www.zope.org/Members/gtk/containers Given the number of replies, I have to assume that few knew (or at least remembered) this. So I'm posting this info in case anyone is suffering the same problem. ^_^ - Gregor

is it possible to add numerical comparison test to dtml-in statement ? statement ?
by chas 09 Jan '00

09 Jan '00

When looping over ZClass instances in a dtml-in statement, I have constantly wanted to add a numerical test condition (eg. "where X > 12" where X is a property of the instance) This applies either using objectValues() to loop over the ZClass instances, or using the ZCatalog. Either way, I end up using something a little retarded like this : <dtml-in "objectValues(['MyClass'])" sort=Points> <dtml-if "Points > 12"> ...... </dtml-if> </dtml-in> or <dtml-in "Catalog({'meta_type': 'MyClass'})" sort=Points> <dtml-if "Points > 12"> ...... </dtml-if> </dtml-in> Either way, it's not ideal b/c it means looping unnecessarily and also, it means that I can't use the very convenient Zope "next/previous" (with a query_start) for long listings. There must be an easy way of incorporating this into the dtml-in statement and I'm ready to eat some humble pie on this one : is it possible ? Mouth wide open, chas

The permissions still might not be right yet. It seems like you have been moving stuff around by hand. Can you get us a `ls -al` for the Zope dir and the var dir? Which user is Zope set for? Any -u parm in the start file? Have you tried -D in start? Any usable output? > At this point I must add that under normal circumstances by now I would have > trashed the product, but I cannot cos I think it has a lot of potential and > I am determind to master it Well, that's the spirit. It can work, lots of users can testify that. -- Best regards / Mvh., Steen Suder, sysadm kollegie6400.dk -|- OpenSource --- Sign of the time Scan-Aqua ADVARSEL WARNING http://www.uk.k64.dk/sfs/Scan-Aqua/
