wrong content-type from Z Search Interface
by menezes＠curiango.ipen.br 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Hi, I'm having some strange problems with a Z Search Interface. With some queries it returns wrong content-type (octect-stream instead of text/html). How can I fix this? Where is the problem: dtml-code sligth modified by me (most aestetical changes) or sql data returned by MySQL? The problem is reproductible: whenever I try some keywords, I get a download prompt instead a html rendered page. Thanks, []s, Mario ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

ZCatalog
by Magnus Heino 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Hi. I am trying to add a ZCatalog to my site, and have come up with a few questions/problems about ZCatalog and how one sould implement things: 1. It doesn't handle åäö! I have setup my zcatalog to to text indexes, but when I search on something containing åäö, nothing is found. Everything else works. I thought this was fixed some versions ago? 2. I want to index on what the dtml document index_html looks like when it is renderd, not what the source looks like. Example: DTML method foo contains some text. index_html includes this method with <dtml-var foo>. I want to get index_html when I search, not foo, even if foo is the one containing the text. 3. DTML documents and methods don't update themself in the catalog, right? Why? Do I have to do it manually everytime I update something, or is there a better way? How is the Zope site done? Thanks, -- /Magnus Heino

Your 'myself' role, which I assume is 'pete', must have the manager role to log into the management interface. I just got done testing this for a few minutes, and I see no unusual behavior with users and logging in. What is unusal is that it probably doesn't make much sense to pick the 'Owner' role when they create a user, if you did that, then that user would 'Own' everything. Which isn't necesarilly bad, it no different than having the Manager role, but it should probably not be an option you can pick. We'll need to think about it. For now, if you want a user to be able to log into the managment interface, they will need the Manager role. -Michel

Documents are rendered in the context of a request, the rendering of a document may be different for every reqeust that looks at it. There is no way the Catalog can render, or even know how to render, or know what context you want your content rendered in. Further, what, exactly, is content then? This is a really, really, really sticky issue, there is no way around it. Then bring in the issues of security (which can have a drastic effect on rendered results), Acquisition (which controls the context of how things are rendered) etc.... > Example: DTML method foo contains some text. index_html > includes this method with <dtml-var foo>.

You will need to create a ZClass (or python class) that 'renders itself' in some predictable way and catalogs itself also. > 3.

DTML Documents and Methods do not catalog themselves automatically because they are not designed to, they are small simple components that do not do complex things like that on their own. To do it yourself, create a ZClass that subclasses Document or Method and have the ZClass catalog itself when an instance is created or edited. There are a couple of how-tos on this allready. -Michel

To get the contents of the file object, use its read() method, eg: a=open("myfile.txt", "rb) output=a.read() "output" is now a string you can use re on, etc. Chris McDonough mailto:chrism@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com Publishers of Zope http://www.zope.org > -----Original Message----- > From: Michel Pelletier [mailto:michel@digicool.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 1:08 PM > To: 'Richard Smol'; zope(a)zope.org > Subject: RE: [Zope] readinf File contents > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Richard Smol [mailto:jazzcat@dds.nl] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 12:38 PM > > To: zope(a)zope.org > > Subject: [Zope] readinf File contents > > > > > > Hi there, > > > > This Zope keeps baffling me ... now how do I simply read the > > contents of > > a File-object? > > fileObject.data or str(fileObject) > > Referencing a file object by name from python will not return it's > contents, it will return the object.

The object does not, nor should it, act or look like a string, which is what re.split expects. -Michel
