Steve, thank you very much for that information.

Adding DTML Templates to ZClass instances
by Eron Lloyd 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

I would like to have an option when creating an instance of a folderish object to have a "index_html" template automatically added to the new object once it is created. I have the template for the inserted index_html sitting in my root directory of Zope. How can I tell the constructor method to add this template as a DTML Method (template_dtml) to the just created instance and rename it to "index_html"? This I cannot find documented anywhere. What I'm trying to do is practically identical to the option available when adding a standard DTML Document/Method from the management interface. Thanks in advance, Eron

I can easily fix the "order" issue, but I am so far unable to reproduce the JavaScript error. Can you give me more information about your platform, the error message and what steps you took to achieve the error? If you do things differently (like create an instance of the tutorial with the product add list) does the tutorial work?

How to update DTML built from Python level?

29 Jun '00

If I, for example, edit .../lib/python/OFS/documentEdit.dtml, what kind of black magic do I have to do to make my changes take effect? I'd think it is only a matter of restarting Zope, but that doesn't work :-/ []s, |alo +---- -- Hack and Roll ( http://www.hackandroll.org ) News for, uh, whatever it is that we are. http://zope.gf.com.br/lalo mailto:lalo@hackandroll.org pgp key: http://zope.gf.com.br/lalo/pessoal/pgp Brazil of Darkness (RPG) --- http://zope.gf.com.br/BroDar

Getting Zope error when starting Zope, installed on ISP's machine
by Fusion Group 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

I installed Zope on my ISP's virtual server, and I'm getting an error when I run the start script. The server is running Apache, but I don't really need to use Apache for this particular domain. I haven't tried to figure out how to access Zope through PCGI, because unless that is the only way to allow Zope and Apache to run on the same machine, this isn't necessary. I have Zope and Apache successfully running on my own development machine (SuSe Linux), but my problem is running it on a virtual server (FreeBSD). Below is the error message I get. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2000-06-29T17:13:10 PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/home/orb6b/usr/zope/Zope-2.1.6-linux2-x86/z2.py", line 493, in ? logger_object=lg) File "/usr/home/orb6b/usr/zope/Zope-2.1.6-linux2-x86/ZServer/medusa/http_serve r.py", line 560, in __init__ ip = socket.gethostbyname (socket.gethostname()) socket.error: host not found

So there are two things you could do here to get along until you can upgrade to 2.2. One, you could edit the __init__.py in the Hotfix product's directory and comment out the line: DocumentTemplate.DT_String.String.setName__roles__=[] ...and restart Zope. That will make the setName method unprotected again though, so don't do this lightly. By unprotected I mean that other people could call setName on _your_ objects and screw things up if they wanted to. An alternative would be to create an external method like the following in your class: def temporary_hack(self, id): self._setId(id) ...and try using:  <dtml-call "temporary_hack(REQUEST['id'])">  That should let you solve it without reopening a security hole. Hope this helps! Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
