ZCatalog: Why does this work?
by Curtis Matthews 12 May '00

12 May '00

The Advanced ZCatalog Searching HOW-TO on zope.org covers how to query ZCatalogs for objects within certain ranges of dates, but it only shows how to do it using bobobase_modification_time. Specifically, to grab items modified in the last 14 days, it suggests <dtml-in "Catalog(bobobase_modification_time=_.DateTime(date), bobobase_modification_time_usage='range:min')"> That's all well and good, but it told me nothing about using ranges with other date FieldIndexes in ZCatalog. For example, I have a ZCatalog full of ZClasses with parameter 'date' FieldIndexed. Not expecting this to work, I tried: <dtml-in "Catalog(date=_.DateTime()-30, date_usage='range:min')"> ...and blimey if it didn't work! What's happening here? Does indexing a date create a method called {NAME}_usage? If so, how in the world does it do this? Just curious, Curtis Matthews

Re: [Zope] textarea too small? here's my hack
by Peter Bengtsson 12 May '00

12 May '00

I want to change the amount of rows the textarea changes with in Zope to a smaller number. Where do I do that? By clicking "Taller" or "Shorter" the page obviously "recompiles" with a different number or rows for textarea. By looking at the HTML source in the management view, one click on "Taller" increases row="20" to row="25" I want it to change from 20 to 22 only.

UserDB Vs. GUF
by Paul Abrams 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hello, We are currently using UserDB for authentication. It is simple and meets our needs. Are there any compelling reasons to switch to the much-newer GUF? Are there any security holes in UserDB that GUF may have fixed? What are other people using? Thanks, -Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [Zope] accessing objects through variables
by Andy Pahne 12 May '00

12 May '00

yes, that is possible: let's say you have a variable named obj_to_show which holds the name of the object to show then you simply type <dtml-var _[object_to_show]> note the slight difference between the above and <dtml-var _['object_to_show']> the last one would render the variable oblject_to_show.

progromattically keeping a zcatalog updated
by josh on 12 May '00

12 May '00

I am not even sure if it is the zcatalog that is the problem. I add new instances of a class through dtml, then I go to a page which displays them, but sometimes the instances don't show up until I manually force the zcatalog to update. I have been using this: <dtml-call reindex_object> but I am not sure that it is right or maybe I am just using it incorectly josh oN

Ugh - I never thought of trying with things not XML (because I KNOW that works right!!). Must have been in a previous version though. Thanks for the tip .... Nigel > Nigel, > This is a bug in Zope 216. You have to put the line > from DocumentTemplate.DT_Util import Eval, expr_globals

Then, each major product would have to supply their own? Hm, one dtml class/editing mode would be enough. There aren't many dtml keywords/constructions and most products do not modify dtml, or did I get this wrong? Rik
