BUG: weird acquisition problem with <dtml-if>
by Anthony Pfrunder 02 May '00

02 May '00

Hi, I think I have found a bug in Zope 2.1.6. I have the following code which is <dtml-var Code> included into every document on my server. If the document (docid) is *acquired* then the code below works as expected. If the document is *not acquired* then the <dtml-if "id == compare_inner"> line needs to be changed to: <dtml-if "id() == compare_inner()"> for the compare to work. If I display the values using:  I get the appropiate values for both document types If I display the values using:  I get the incorrect behaviour described above. This mafests itself as <Python Method 13e31b0> when it fails How can I get the effect of a <dtml-var compare_inner> within a <dtml-if> which by its nature only uses the quoted form? --------------------------------------- Code ------------------------------------------------------- <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('docid', id)"> ... <dtml-if "_.len(PARENTS) >= 3"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('compare_inner', PARENTS[-3].id)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('compare_inner', docid)"> </dtml-if> <dtml-in "PARENTS[-2].objectValues(['Folder', 'DTML Document'])"> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View', _.getitem('sequence-item', 0))">  <dtml-if "id == compare_inner"> <dtml-var title_or_id> --> <dtml-else> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Anthony Pfrunder PS: Please CC to my mailbox as I'm not subscribed to the Zope mailing list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

standard_error_message
by Ray 01 May '00

01 May '00

Quick question about error messages under Zope 2.1.0 under Linux: Is it possible to overload the standard_error_message document, or do all errors essentially come from the root of the tree? I'd like to be able to create customized error messages for SiteAccess'd sites, or just different parts of the tree, for that matter.

Cascading Style Sheets and Zope
by Eric L. Walstad 01 May '00

01 May '00

Hello All, In my experimenting with my first Zope website, I'm finding that I am spending a lot of time getting the different portions of the site to look the same. I've set up a few DTML methods like <dtml-var font_14pt> and <dtml-var table_format> that I use, but I bet there's a better way. I don't know anything about CSS, other than the concept, and am wondering if something like a DTML method that holds all the style sheet info is a good idea. That way, each page could simply reference that style sheet method. If the look of the site needed to be changed, the change would only have to happen in one location. I'm interested in hearing what others are doing to achieve this same goal. Should I go down the CSS road or is there a better way? TIA, Eric.

The error that you are getting indicates that Zope can't find the tutorial examples. Either you weren't able to install them or you have cookies turned off in your browser. The next version of the tutorial will be much nicer about letting you read the tutorial even if you don't have the examples installed. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Zope Tutorial trouble
by Christian Leutloff 01 May '00

01 May '00

Hi, I`m trying to install the Zope Tutorial under a Debian system with Zope 2.1.6-1 installed. I'm able to select and read every item of the navigation of the Tutorial except *all* lessions. 8-( I also managed to get a view of the examples through the management view. So I knew that the tutorial is exact the think I really need! Now the error I get is: Lesson 1. "Elvis Lives" Home Page Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: KeyError Error Value: tutorialExamplesURL What can I do to further investigate the error??? I've looked into the Python code, but it`s relativ meaningless to me 8-( Thanks Christian -- Dipl.-Ing.

"free" personal web sites that use Zope?
by Skip Montanaro 01 May '00

01 May '00

Sorry to ask such an elementary question, but... My nephew asked me over the weekend if I knew of any services that allowed people to make their own web sites. Instead of just sending him to Geocities or something similar, I thought I'd check first to see if there are any sites that use Zope to help users create free personal web sites. I didn't see any promising links on the Zope web site.

zcatalog
by Jonathan Park 01 May '00

01 May '00

hello, I want to have a search only with one input using zcatalog that would do both searches on title and 'raw' instead of having two separate input area. don't laugh :) but I tried using <dtml-if title> and <dtml-else> but that didn't work... so I am going to use a switch statement, but I was curious how I would implement the above. Thank you! -jon Have a great day!

Error Packing Data.fs
by Eric L. Walstad 01 May '00

01 May '00

Hi, I am getting a permission denied error when I try to pack the Data.fs file I found one answer to this in the archives, but I need a little more explanation. Here's the answer from the archive: > That is the point - when Zope is run under root, it automatically drops > to nobody, and nobody doesn't have permissions to your Data.fs. > > Error Type: IOError > Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: > '/usr/local/Zope/var/Data.fs' > >Oleg. (All opinions are mine and not of my employer) My question is: Do I change the ownership of Data.fs to "nobody" or do I change the user Zope is run as? I guess I don't understand the consequenses of each option so I don't know which is the best way to go. Thanks, Eric.
