The current one is bugzilla 42008. ("Basic" auth works, "basic" auth doesn't). Zope gets it wrong, I just put a patch in the Collector.

Try a newer or older build, I'd say. Newer ones are broken since 2000/06/01... Anthony

Re: rpm question...I am stuck.

A couple of quick things. First, thanks for pointing out a problem in my documentation. That said, what the docs don't make clear is that the posted install docs are only for the new ZMySQLDA-1.2.0. If you are using ZMySQLDA-1.1.4, please read the docs in the package, as they are a bit different. If you do go down the 1.2.0 route, to run the import test you'll need to do this: bash# python Python 1.5.2 ... Copyright ... >>> import _mysql >>> Just doing: bash# python import _mysql won't ever work. If you want to do it that way, you'd have to do: bash# python -c 'import _mysql' Monty Ted Townsend wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm attemptimg to get the 'ZMySQLDA-1.1.4-nonbin.tar.gz' instlled -- > but, could use some help. > > if I simply follow the install directions on > 'http://yyy.zope.org/Members/mordred/ZMySQLDA/ZMySQLDA-1.1.4-nonbin.tar.gz/I…' > > then zope shows it a broken install (although it shows) -- it could not > find _mysql module.

left(string) equivalent
by joel grimes 16 Jun '00

16 Jun '00

I should have given a little more detail. I have an odbc connection and a zsqlmethod that work fine when the zsqlmethod says: select description, datein from san_jose But I just want the first 4 characters of the description field. So I've tried: select substring(description, 1, 4), datein from san_jose I've also tried substr(), and some variations. I even tried the Access version - left(description, 4). If it can't be done in the query, and I have to get the whole string in the sql method and slice it later, I can live with that, but then I have another problem: I let the wizard create a report for me and it gave me results that include: <tr> <td><dtml-var description null=""></td> <td><dtml-var datein null=""></td> </tr> works fine. so I changed "description" to "description[:4]" (no quotes, though). If I try to view the report I get an error. Error Type: KeyError Error Value: description[:4] Any ideas?

Virtual hosts: How to make proper intra-site URL's?
by rob＠hooft.net 16 Jun '00

16 Jun '00

I have set up a site: www.site In this site, there are a few virtual hosts: www.host1 --> www.site/Host1 www.host2 --> www.site/Host2 Thanks to a nice access rule, both the left and right names can be used to refer to the information. So far so good. In www.site/Host1 I have define a navigation bar dtml method to show some important check points in the host. Question: How do I make relative URLs in the navigation bar work so that they work under all circumstances. E.g. if I have a "People" Folder under "Host1" listed in the navigation bar, I'd like to see that the link shows up as follows: If I am looking at page: "People" should link to: http://www.host1/ People or http://www.host1/People http://www.host1/News ../People or http://www.host1/People http://www.site/Host1 People or http://www.site/Host1/People http://www.site/Host1/News ../People or http://www.site/Host1/People I have not been able to produce this effect using either BASE0..N or URL0..N.

I forgot this other one that I found. Mozilla writes the username/password with a trailing null. I just logged it: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42782 A patch that allows Zope to workaround this: diff -u -r1.110 User.py --- User.py 2000/06/05 15:31:43 1.110 +++ User.py 2000/06/16 06:26:32 @@ -439,6 +439,8 @@ if lower(auth[:6])!='basic ': return None name,password=tuple(split(decodestring(split(auth)[-1]), ':', 1)) + if password[-1] == '\000': + password = password[:-1] # Check for superuser super=self._super

Creating a FRAMESET
by Wayne Izatt 16 Jun '00

16 Jun '00

Maybe I'm going crazy, but I can't seem to get my FRAMESET to render. If I understand things correctly, the SRC of the html is the same as the ID. Or am I wrong? Should I completely qualify the SRC, or will Zope take care of this for me?... ciao

Difference between &dtml-myvar; and <dtml-var myvar>
by Hung Jung Lu 16 Jun '00

16 Jun '00

This has been something that I've never been very careful about. Until I got bitten in generating a JavaScript. What is the difference between <dtml-var myvar> and &dtml-myvar; ? I have noticed some differences before, but I don't remember the details, now. I guess one of them mangles the result so it can be looked at in a browser (properly HTML quoted?) <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myvar', '&')"> <dtml-var myvar> &dtml-myvar; Visually they look the same, but if I looked at the source: & & Is the a technical term (e.g: "rendering", "HTML-quoting", etc.) that describes the difference in the output? regards, Hung Jung ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
