When I try to access the link on the index_html page, to see what the Zope structure looks like, it crashes IE 4 on win98. Any thing special going on there in zopeStructure.html? -Jimbo

Hi. What is the status of the Tracker product? I remember someone saying that it had some problems with the latest version of Zope a while ago, is that still true? /Magnus

validation-onClick

The form="a" and its input field="custid" is being validated, when the alert message box came out then i clicked on the 'OK' button which is inside the alert message box, but it return to another page instead return to form="a". ( I prefer to use 'onClick' instead of 'onSubmit' ) The following is my JavaScript validation function:- function checkid() { if(document.a.custid.value==""&&document.a.custname.value=="") { alert("You must specify string character either in customer id or customer name.") document.a.custid.focus(); return false; } } The form events:- <input type="SUBMIT" name="Search" value="Search" onClick="JavaScript:checkid()" >

New releases of Zwiff and ZCVSMixin...
by Steve Spicklemire 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

For those who are paying attention.... ;-) there are new releases of Zwiff and ZCVSMixin at zope.org. There will be a new DumbZPatternsExample later today or tomorrow... The Zwiff release has been updated with the latest patches of ming and now has lots of working examples. You download the examples, and the source files (fonts, sounds, pics etc... ) for the examples separately. ZCVSMixin just has a minor bug fix about comments in CVS log files. DumbZPatternsExample now has three interacting Specialists and better separation of UI, Domain and Implementation stuff.... cheers, -steve

ZCatalog-weirdness again ??
by Geir B�kholt 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

i am having a bizarre problem with zcatalog (Zope2.2.2 win2k): I use Zcatalog for indexing a Zclass( todo-task, (catalogaware)) with a property named 'priority' (an integer between 1 and 10,- a field-index in the catalog) among others .. If i pass 'sort_on=priority' to the catalog-search, new instances of todo-task show up twice... if i leave the sort_on out, or also pass sort_order=reverse, everything works as expected.. Each instace shows up once. The instances are just listed once in the cataloged-objects-tab in my catalog. When i update my catalog manually, instances created before the update show up only once, but new instances (created after the update) still show up twice..(but still only if i pass 'sort_on=priority')..... Any ideas ? Anyone experienced anything like it ? -- Geir Bækholt web-developer/designer geirh(a)funcom.com http://www.funcom.com

Deleting files with URLs
by ListBot 23 Nov '00

Hello, I have the following method, having problems understanding how to get the "delete" link to work correctly. I get the following error: No items were specified! This is because there is no checkbox checked to pass on a file name? Is there another way to delete files by url? Thanks for helping a newbie.

date in Z Gadfly Database
by Angietel 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

When i create a table, one of the fields is consider as date type, but the Z Gadfly Database does not allow me to do that, it only accepts INTEGER instead of DATE type. The following is my SQL for creating a table:- CREATE TABLE customer (custid VARCHAR(10), custname VARCHAR(15), custactdate DATE, custadd1 VARCHAR(30), custadd2 VARCHAR(30)) Please let me know if i got an error.Thank You.

neat trick
by magnus＠websys.no 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Just wanted to share something that I thought was kind of neat (if obvious). I often present properties from a property sheet, and this is an easy way to do it: Assuming there are three fields in the property sheet, called field1, field2 and field3. <table> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Value</th></tr> <dtml-in "('field1', 'field2', 'field3')"> <dtml-if "_[_['sequence-item']]"> <tr> <td> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']" capitalize> </td> <td> <dtml-var "_[_['sequence-item']]"> </td> </tr> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </table> It will give you something like this: Name Value ------- ----- Field1 abc Field2 def Field3 ghi -Magnus
