<dtml-tree> puzzling behaviour!
by Patrick J.M. Keane 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

This is REALLY weird. I have a <dtml-tree> in a DIV panel (there are others). If I expand any branch of the tree, all of the javascript (and imagemaps, and everything else in other div panels become disabled (in Netscape 4.7 under linux). I haven't tried it on IE, but this is rather distressing! Any ideas why that might be? PK

HomeSite is indeed a wonderful program! Very extensible, you can even teach it about DTML within reason. Unfortunately "Design View" uses an embedded Microsoft HTML editing control (cousin of FrontPage Express) that is NOT wonderful and not under Allaire/HomeSite's supervision. That's why they have options to "repair" your HTML after visiting Design View. :) They only put it in there so they could offer some sort of WYSIWYG as a selling point against other packages. Most of us turn it off. If you want another DTML-teachable editor that does WYSIWYG right, try Dreamweaver.

Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)
by Yosef Gold 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

I use Zope in the old bobo fashion. I have a homegrown session management class that I use. When a session is idle for a long while, I ask the user for his password again before allowing him to continue. Generally, I then use the URL from the REQUEST object and RESPONSE.redirect() to send him where he was trying to go after he reenters his password (he never got there because I gave him a session timeout screen instead). This works well except in one case. If a user submits a form that uses POST to send it's data, I am not forwarding the posted data and so I get a Zope error that a parameter is missing. Is there a way for me to get the raw posted data and forward that too via the RESPONSE object? A seperate small side question. I thought that all the paremeters after the "?" in an URL or a submitted form (using GET) are put into the QUERY_STRING variable within the REQUEST object. I don't see this variable there at all. Can someone explain when/where this variable is set/sent . Thanks, Yosef ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Yosef Gold (yosef(a)adsc.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

ZPoPyDA license (was: [Zope] Thread-safe PostgreSQL adaptor?)

KeyError since installing Squishdot 0.4.0
by David Trudgett 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Since I installed Squishdot 0.4.0 (yesterday) on Zope 2.1.6 (under Red Hat Linux) I've been getting KeyErrors when clicking on an article's topic image, which uses an URL like this: http://myserver/Zope/testsquish/search?subject=Squishdot&op=articles In Squishdot 0.3.2, the errors didn't occur. I applied the fixes mentioned by Michel Pelletier in his (Zope-dev] message ("The Mysterious Key Error and Unrelated Searc Result Bug"), and updated the ZCatalog. This didn't fix the problem. Here is the stack trace: Traceback (innermost last): File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: search) File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: search) File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/Products/Squishdot/Squishdot.py, line 954, in search (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /data/Zope-2.1.6/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py, line 760, in __getitem__ KeyError: (see above) Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. David Trudgett

Ordered list
by Marcio Moreira 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Hello Friends, IŽm working on a vegetal species catalog. IŽve created a Z class for species, so I will have one instance of such class for every plant. In this class I have a property for "popular names" of the species (names people knows that plant by). This property is "lines" type. I need two listings: One for scientific names (easy to get since I use the class ID for the scientific names - they donŽt repeat). The other listing is for popular names. I used "lines" type for it because every plant use to have diferent popular names in diferent regions of the country. My question is: How can I have an ordered listing of all popular names of all plants (in other words, how can I have an ordered listing of data stored in "lines"-type properties on diferent class instances)? Thanks in advance, Marcio Moreira Check out this page for authentic brazilian sugar cane brandy on handcrafted ceramic bottles. http://www.mamulengo.cjb.net Se voce aprecia a cachaça e o autentico artesanato brasileiro, visite a nossa pagina: http://www.mamulengo.cjb.net
