Dymanic sort="&dtml-a_dtml_var;" in DTML?
by Joel Burton 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

I'd like to create a DTML method that lists objects, sorting either by name or modified-date. I know I can do this by: <dtml-if ..byname...> <dtml-in blah sort="title_or_id"> ... </dtml-else> <dtml-in balh sort="bobobase_modification_time"> ... </dtml-if> However, this requires lots of code. I'm trying to do it like this: Sorted by &dtml-sortby;  <dtml-in objectValues sort="&dtml-sortby;"> <dtml-var title_or_id> (<dtml-var bobobase_modification_time>) </dtml-in> I have a property, sortby, of the enclosing folder set to "bobobase_modification_time"; when this method is called, it dutifully reports that sortby=b_m_t; however, it doesn't sort things this way (I can't tell exactly how it is sorting them, and when I refresh, the order occasionally changes.) Any ideas? -- Joel Burton, Director of Information Systems -*- jburton(a)scw.org Support Center of Washington (www.scw.org)

Want to access ZClass Instance from external program
by Jon Prettyman 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

I have a folder containing a bunch of ZClass instances that I want to access from an external (non-web) python application. I need to be able to read the values of the instance properties. Is there a way to do this with the ZClient stuff? If not, what can I use. If yes, any pointers? -jon

Two questions regarding SQL
by //www.alomega.com/ 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Hey 2 everyone: I have two questions. 1) I need to authenticate my Zope users against a Sybase SQL database. 2) I need to make my Zope ODBC database connection object use (i.e. connect with) the user and password of the AUTHENTICATED_USER because security is at the database level, for tables and stored procedures. How do I do that? Any pointers? LoginManager did not work for zope 2.2.2 here. Besides, the new Z ODBC connection form only lets me specify an ODBC dsn or a connection string. And as I understand, the connection string is the same for ALL zope users that use that object. Any practical solutions to the problem #2? Will I have to connect to the DB as DBA? If that's the case, I'll have to go with PHP. I'm sorry for my former HTML postings. Won't happen again. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------- Universidad Federico Santa Maria - Campus Guayaquil

Problems with PoPy 1.4 & ZPoPyDA 0.7
by zope＠engelhaupt.com 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

I have a working install of Zope 2.2.2. I installed the python module PoPy 1.4 and then attempted to install the ZPoPyDA 0.7 DB adapter. The ZPoPyDA README said to run a configure script but there was none. So I just moved the ZPoPyDA directory it created into the lib/python/Products directory in my zope home. Now for the strange part. When I start zope, I get the following: 2000-10-17T20:25:51 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.ZPoPyDA Traceback (innermost last): File /zope_home/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 397, in import_products (Object: string) File /zope_home/lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/__init__.py, line 32, in ? File /zope_home/lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/DA.py, line 35, in ? File /zope_home/lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/PoPy_db.py, line 27, in ? ImportError: No module named PoPy ZPoPyDA comes up as a broken product in the Control Panel. So I checked it out on my own. I created a file with the following line: import PoPy I ran 'python test' and no errors. I added the line: import bla And then ran 'python test' again just to be sure and it did die saying no such module bla. I even typed 'import PoPy' in the python interactive shell and nothing. So outside of zope, python seems to be able to import PoPy, but when zope tries to import ZPoPyDA it claims there is no PoPy module. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dustin

Searching a LocalFS through Zope
by neeloy_saha 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Hi all, Well I had sent this earlier but i want to resend this again!! I have not yet received a reply back. Can anyone suggest me a way out ??? I have lots of old html/ documents that I want to publish through my zope portal. To ensure that I do not tweak html files I have used the LocalFS product, also I do not want to **load the data.fs**. Now. I am running into search problems. How do i do a search the filesystem file? and also ensure that the search results come from both the filesystem files and the portal zcatalog.?? I guess there are two ways ?? ** attach a search engine to index on the filesystem files and let zcatalog take care of the rest. ** or make all those html files zcatalog aware.But then u cant look inside pdf/latex/word docs or do u??. I guess I would prefer the first one !! gut feel probably that would require less effort and I can support different file formats . Has anyone used a FREE external search engine ith zope before.If so which one is it ??? -neeloy -----Original Message----- From: Guido van Rossum [mailto:guido@python.org] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 7:53 PM To: neeloy_saha Cc: 'pythoneers(a)beopen.com'; 'info(a)beopen.com'; 'webmaster(a)pythonlabs.com' Subject: Re: Migrating website to zope.....
