How do you search Tiny Tables?
by jesse 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

I created a tiny table and then fed the information into a DTML Method by inserting the tiny table subject headers into a table I creating inthe method html. Is is possible to search the tiny table since the Method is just calling the information and it is not actually in the document? Yes? No? If yes, how would I go about doing this or could you direct me to the resource that I would need to do this. If no, is there another table factory that IS searchable? -- Working at Multimedia Collective to make quality web pages for young Buisnesses. Jesse. --

Re: [Zope] WorldPilot - Regular messages are attachments?

Be careful here ... I think you'll also find that should you try to download the attachement, It'll kill Zope. If you're running Zope with -D it'll restart, otherwise you'll find you have no web site after trying to download. I'm not sure what it does to kill Zope as there is no error, just death. It seems to be a bit intermittent as well, which doesn't help. I'm trying to fix the problem and will post the patch once it's ready, hopefully next week when I get back from China.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog in python (getting closer)
by ed colmar 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

I am getting closer to having a working catalog. Thanks everyone, all your hints have been really helpful. The catalog is automatically created when I add a new instance of my class to a folder My sub-classes now inherit: (CatalogAware, Persistent, Implicit, SimpleItem) It was the SimpleItem combined with the code used (in squishdot) to add an item that was preventing the catalog from finding it. When I changed it to: ob=PromoterPost(id,title) ob.id = id ob.title = title self._setObject(id,ob) It can now be found by the catalog when I manually update it in the management screen. It also now exists in the zope management screens, which is forcing me into better object management. =P Still, the catalog does not automatically update when a new object is added. can someone explain where the index_object() call should be? In my case it should be in the PromoterPost.__init__ method correct? It does not belong in my base class' call that creates the object right? Thanks again! -ed-

The right way to sum fields
by icottee＠bluefountain.com 15 Jun '00

15 Jun '00

I have a folder with a set of timesheets in it. If I create a method to sum a field called I_TimeTaken is this the correct syntax? --- <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues(['TimeSheet'])" size=1> <dtml-var total-I_TimeTaken> </dtml-in> --- To explain, this works but I'm interested to know if this is the right way. Specifically because I am now trying to write another routine which totals not just the current folder but the contents of any sub folders below and am running into problems (i.e. I can't do it). If the basic step is wrong I'd like to know before I use it in other places. Haven't managed to find anything in the archives but I think I may be suffering from docs overload. Many thanks for any help Ian Cottee (knee deep in Zope and way out of time)

Version Paradox
by Baker, Dennis [sjmr] 14 Jun '00

14 Jun '00

Help !! I've inadvertently created a version paradox. I created a version and joined it, then I realized that I did a stupid naming mistake I tried to UNDO the creation of the version. It allowed me to undo the creation of the version, however I was in the version at the time, and now I am stuck in the version and cannot get out. I cannot create a version of the same name and delete it either. I am stuck. HELP !! How can I exit a version that doesn't exist?

sequence-item as a method argument
by Fabio Akita 14 Jun '00

14 Jun '00

Hello again I´m still testing the usability and reliability of Zope. To accomplish this goal I am developing a very very simple shopping cart. But I got troubled by something aparently simple. This is the code: <dtml-in "SESSION['cartItems']"> <dtml-in "sqlSearchProduct(productID=sequence-item)"> <tr><td><dtml-var productName></td><td><dtml-var price></td></tr> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> SESSION['cartItems'] is an array created in another DTML document using the well known SQLSession product. Here I am retrieving the itens of this array and passing it to a ZSQL method to get the selected items. The sqlSearchProduct, alone, works well. If I substitute the inner <dtml-in "sql...> for a simple <dtml-var sequence-item> the block works fine, otherwise it gives me the following error: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: sequence Anyone knows what is going on? I think this must be a simple thing. Thanks []´s Fabio Akita - Developer F/Nazca S&S / Adversiting akita(a)fnazca.com.br
