RE: [Zope] dtml-if problem

Hi Terry - Disclaimer: I'm a Zope Newbie... Here's what I'd try: Length of the value of Area is: <dtml-var expr="_.len(Area)"><br> Length of the 'strip'ped value of Area is: <dtml-var expr="_.len(_.string.strip(Area))"><br> If you see somethinkg like: Length of the value of Area is: 4 (or more) Length of the 'strip'ped value of Area is: 3 when you view the DTML method, you have either white space in your Area variable or a linefeed charater, or... If that's the case, here's a working if statement: <dtml-if "_.string.strip(Area)=='BIS'"> You could also try: <dtml-if "_.string.find(Area, 'BIS')>0"> which will search for an instance of 'BIS' in the value of the Area variable Hope it helps, Eric. // -----Original Message----- // From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Terry // Babbey // Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 1:37 PM // To: zope(a)zope.org // Subject: [Zope] dtml-if problem // // // The following will not evaluate true and I am stumped again. // // <dtml-if "Area == 'BIS'"> // // Area is a variable I am passing to my method and I want to check to // see if the variable is set to BIS, but it never returns true even // though a <dtml-var Area> displays BIS. // // Confused as always, // Terry // // -- // __________________________________________________________________ // Terry Babbey // Technical Support Specialist // Lambton College, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada // __________________________________________________________________ // // // // _______________________________________________ // Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org // http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope // ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** // (Related lists - // http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce // http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) // __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

dtml-if problem
by Terry Babbey 19 Oct '00

19 Oct '00

The following will not evaluate true and I am stumped again. <dtml-if "Area == 'BIS'"> Area is a variable I am passing to my method and I want to check to see if the variable is set to BIS, but it never returns true even though a <dtml-var Area> displays BIS.

pcgi authentication
by meden＠ccpace.com 19 Oct '00

19 Oct '00

We've got Zope running behind IIS as a pcgi process. Currently we are using the jcntuserfolder product to do authentication, but we are having some trouble. The problem is that we want to allow anonymous connections to our site. So we have the permissions to the zope.pcgi resource set to "allow anonymous" and "challenge response" through IIS. When we try to access the root level "manage" screen in Zope we are getting the manage_menu page in the left frame, but we are getting the index_html document in the right frame instead of the mnage_workspace page.

WriteLocking Project Initialized
by Jeffrey P Shell 19 Oct '00

19 Oct '00

<http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WriteLocking/FrontPage> WriteLocking became a full fledged Fishbowl Project this week, and I've been spending the past couple of days getting the initial Artifacts and structure of the Project site together. The current structure should stand through elaboration. There is no planned schedule yet as the Risks themselves are still being scoped out and the UseCases haven't even been started on yet, but it is currently planned to get the proposed functionality into Zope 2.3. The main pages of interest right now are: VisionStatement (what the project is about, from the original proposal) <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WriteLocking/VisionStatement> RecentChanges <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WriteLocking/RecentChanges> CurrentStatus (I really will work on keeping this up to date) <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WriteLocking/CurrentStatus> There are other pages outlining o RiskFactors (this is the one most actively being worked on right now), o TargetClients (LOCKing WebDAV clients we're planning to test against), o ProjectGlossary (Terms and definitions) And the general ProjectDiscussion page at <http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WriteLocking/ProjectDiscussion> I ask that if you make comments on the proposal to either do them on the ProjectDiscussion page or on the zope-dev(a)zope.org list. Please read the Scope section of the VisionStatement first, which outlines both what the intended goals Are and Are Not. Remember that the project is still in the early stages of Elaboration, and some of the artifacts are incomplete. In light of this election season, I pledge to you I will try my hardest to go to work 50+ miles south of Washington and fight to keep the information flowing through the Wiki updated and available to ALL Zope people, everywhere. No fuzzy math in these parts!

RE: [Zope] Question!
by Farrell, Troy 19 Oct '00

Is the database connected as a System DSN? You can check under "Data Sources (ODBC)" in the Control Panel. You will need to add one if it is not there. Choose the "Add..." Button. Select SQL server. Next you will need to enter the Name you want to give the source, a description, and a server name. Let me know what else you need to know.

Python/Perl methods?
by Spicklemire, Jerry 19 Oct '00

19 Oct '00

Oliver asked: > I've been looking at that new book's draft on the Zope website and I'm > wondering what chapter 7 is talking about. Where in Zope can I find a > "restricted Python method" or a "restricted Perl method"? I've never > seen those. Does anyone know, please? Keep in mind that the Zope Book is being compiled as a draft of a document to be delivered in the future. Some of the stuff refered to isn't really "there yet", in terms of inclusion as a standard part of the Zope download package. Python Methods are available, but as an add-on. Perl methods too, but they are even newer, as in less mature / stable / all those positive adjectives. So if you really want to try Python Methods, look here: http://www.zope.org//Wikis/DevSite/Projects/PythonMethods/OriginalProposal download from here: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod and for Perl Methods look here: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/zope-perl/FrontPage and download from here: ftp://ftp.activestate.com/Zope-Perl/zoperl-1.0.beta2.tar.gz Later, Jerry S.
