RE: [Zope] format specifier for GET style arguments?

I don't have an object to work with - I'm dealing with the calendar tag and need to create my own args list for a get post. The calendar tag gives me the date it's displaying like 4/15/2000, I need to convert that into the correct format for an HTML get. I can do it with a string replace, since I know exactly what to replace and it's format, but i was hoping there was already something that would do it properly, like url_quote, so I could just put: <dtml-calendar> <A HREF="set_date_cgi?<dtml-var date url_quote_plus>"><dtml-var "date.dd()"></A> <dtml-calendar> url_quote_plus is close, but it doesn't replace /. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Withers [mailto:chrisw@nipltd.com] > Sent: Friday, April 14, 2000 11:07 AM > To: Daniel.Weber(a)SEMATECH.Org; Zope Mailing List > Subject: Re: [Zope] format specifier for GET style arguments? > > > > <dmtl-var arg1 ???_quote> will give: this+is+a+string%20stuff. > > that is url_quote ;-) or, be more precise url_quote_plus > > You may have thought url_quote was '...'.absokute_url() > > If you have an object x, "x.absolute_url" would return a url > for the object. > > cheers, > > Chris >

format specifier for GET style arguments?
by Daniel.Weber＠SEMATECH.Org 14 Apr '00

14 Apr '00

There's an html_quote and a url_quote, I'm interested in a specifier that will create a argument list for a link. If arg1 has 'this is a string/stuff' then: <dmtl-var arg1 ???_quote> will give: this+is+a+string%20stuff. TIA..

More questions about standard_error_message
by John Chandler 14 Apr '00

14 Apr '00

A couple of questions about the behaviour of standard_error_message - I've asked one of these on this list before and didn't get a reply, so probably won't get a reply now, but I've been really scratching my head and sifting around through all the different Zope resources for an answer. It'd be much appreciated if anyone, particularly at DC, has any comments. First question is about getting standard_error_message to redirect. RESPONSE.redirect() calls don't work in standard_error_message, while they do in other contexts. The reason I'm doing this is to take a 404 error, look up the intended URL in a database table and transparently redirect to a new URL if one has been defined. Otherwise it displays a normal "not found" error. Is there any way of getting this redirection to happen? I'm also interested as to why it doesn't happen, since the DTML contents is presumably being parsed by Zope in the same way other documents are... but perhaps it isn't. The second question is about overriding the standard_error_message seen for a given folder. What I'd like to be able to have is: /standard_error_message foo/ standard_error_message bar/ baz/ Thus, errors occuring within foo/ use a different standard_error_message to those elsewhere. However, this doesn't appear to happen so I can only presume the standard_error_message called is always the one in the root. Is there any way around this other than to explicitly check the URL causing the error and take the appropriate action? Ditto goes for a property such as ErrorsTo containing, say, the e-mail address of someone to report errors to. If I have: /ErrorsTo = webmaster(a)foo.org foo/ bar/ ErrorsTo = bar-errors(a)foo.org baz/ ErrorsTo = errors(a)baz.com I'd like standard_error_message to acquire the appropriate ErrorsTo property, but unfortunately this doesn't happen and the ErrorsTo property will always be webmaster(a)foo.org for standard_error_message. I've rummaged through the docs on Zope.org, searched the mailing lists and even had a nose around the source without much luck. Anyone have information about standard_error_message? Anything learnt will be documented and put onto the Zope site, I've already made a start but these two topics are frustrating to solve. Thanks in advance.

Hi... I'm trying to insert binary images in a table on an SQL Server, but I don't seem to be able to pass the image through sql insert. Is there some special way I can quote such an object in orther to avoid errors? Errors raised are such as: Traceback (innermost last): File F:\Portal\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 165, in publish File F:\Portal\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: update) File F:\Portal\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: update) File F:\Portal\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 150, in __call__ (Object: update) File F:\Portal\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: update) File F:\Portal\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 146, in __call__ (Object: update_sub) File F:\Portal\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: update_sub) File F:\Portal\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_In.py, line 691, in renderwob (Object: Articles) File F:\Portal\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 335, in eval (Object: sqlInsertArticle(theme=Topic,number=Number, date=Today,summary=Summary,article=Article,image=Image)) (Info: Topic) File , line 0, in ?

Zope 2.1.1 doesn't have a memory leak
by Jason Spisak 14 Apr '00

14 Apr '00

Zopists, I use Zope 2.1.1 in a production environment where my ZODB is about 300MB. It gets up to about 1500MB by the end of the day. I have 25 people using it constantly 10 hours a day, everday, 6 days a week and I never shut it down. My Control Panel says this: Zope version: Zope 2.1.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python version: 1.5.2 (#10, Dec 6 1999, 12:16:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] System Platform: linux2 Process ID: 5439 (8201) Running for: 23 days 15 hours 14 min 51 sec My sys-admin restarted Zope by accident 23 days ago. If there was a memory leak I probably would have known about it long before now. I have 10 threads going, in case anyone was wondering. I just want to say that I think Zope is a quite a terrific piece or open-source software. For all that it provides, it's stability is remarkable. If anyone needs a testimonial, as you can tell, I'm not shy about how I feel about Zope.

transaction?
by Peter Sabaini 14 Apr '00

14 Apr '00

hello, somehow i dont see changes made to zodb... pls. consider following example: * one dtml method 'm', empty. * second dtml method, same folder: <dtml-with testfolder> <dtml-call "manage_delObjects('m')"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLMethod('m','',file='humpty')"> </dtml-with> <dtml-var m><br> <dtml-with testfolder> <dtml-call "manage_delObjects('m')"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLMethod('m','',file='dumpty')"> </dtml-with> <dtml-var m> the second dtml method gives an output of humpty humpty not of humpty dumpty as i would have expected. the above code is of course not very useful but demonstrated a real problem i do have. do i somehow have to commit changes to the zodb before they are visible? thanks, peter. -- _________________________________________________ peter sabaini, mailto: sabaini(a)niil.at -------------------------------------------------
