zcatalog from external method ?
by Geir B Hansen 11 Feb '00

11 Feb '00

hiyah zopistas ! For our intranet we have implemented a tweaked version of fsimport.py, to import files that the content-people have made in their wysiwyg-editors. The files (DTML-documents mainly) are imported nicely enough, but they are not indexed in the Zcatalog. My python-skills are still a bit below par, and i cannot figure out how to add the equivalent of <dtml-call reindex_object> in an external method.. anyone out there with a quick solution ?? -- Geir B Hansen web-developer/designer geirh(a)funcom.com http://www.funcom.com

Let's see if I can make this clear. 1. Do not send me mail privately asking questions about Zope. Instead send them to zope(a)zope.org 2. Do not include HTML in your email messages to the list.

You could use Word to create the report, and even print it. Alternatively, you could learn all about RTF and write an External Method that creates an RTF file. -------------------------------------------------------------------

RE: [Zope] [Fwd: How-To: Installing and Upgrading Zope2.x]
by Jens Vagelpohl 11 Feb '00

instead of editing zope internals (which you might just forget to repeat when you upgrade and run into the same problems) i suggest adding an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts that reflects your machine name. jens -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of John E. Vincent Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2000 23:47 To: Chris McDonough Cc: zope(a)zope.org; lee(a)bitwiseinc.com Subject: Re: [Zope] [Fwd: How-To: Installing and Upgrading Zope2.x] If no python guru but I was looking over http-server.py and it looks like it trys several different methods on finding your hostname before resorting to using the IP address. Try editing z2.py and changing the field IP_ADDRESS='' to an actual IP address. just use 127.0.0.1. Also make sure you have an entry in /etc/hosts for your localhost like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost The default install should set this up for you. Can any zope genius verify wether what I've said makes sense or not? Does pythoin require any external resolver libraries to be installed for gethostname? hope I haven't sent you on a tangent.

Trouble with multiple selection property from SQL method
by Michiel Toneman 11 Feb '00

11 Feb '00

Hi all, This problem has me stumped :( I'm trying to fill the fields of a multiple selection property with a database table. My SQL method looks something like: user_list_sql------------------ ------------------------------- SELECT name FROM users_tmp WHERE status = 'a' ------------------------------- So I make a multiple selection property "users" that takes user_list_sql as value. This gets me the Zope error Error Type: TypeError Error Value: 'in' or 'not in' needs sequence right argument Ok, so having succesfully used a lines property to fill the fields, I create a method that does something similar: user_list_meth----------------- ------------------------------- <dtml-in user_list_sql> <dtml-var name> </dtml-in> ------------------------------- Now I use user_list_meth as value, and get the error: Error Type: InError Error Value: Strings are not allowed as input to the in tag How do I tell the multiple select property "I'm feeding you newline separated text" or someting like that... Any suggestions? Thanks, Michiel Toneman -- >From a Sun Microsystems bug report (#4102680): "Workaround: don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey."

Howdy everybody. I'll be making a trip to the Bay Area next month to give a talk (March 21) at the SDWest conference in San Jose: http://www.sdexpo.com/cgi-bin/main.pl?x-a=v&x-id=22076 (Isn't that a lovely URL?) I'd like to plan ahead this time and see if we can have a Zope get-together. If there is sufficient interest, _and_ somebody has the space available, please let me know! --Paul
