Netscape & Open session with NT active user
by Vincent 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Hi, In fact, it is not just a question about Zope, it is a question about Netscape : When you protect a directory and ask for a password, I would like to know if Netscape is able to access to the parameters of the loged user (under NT). PS : In fact, I would like that the users do not need to enter twice their login/password. Thanks

Batchprocessing with multiple conditions?
by Peter Arvidsson 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

I have objects of a certain meta-type. They have some properties and one of the properties is a boolean. How do I make a dtml-in loop among those objects with the boolean set to yes? I dont want it to traverse any other value at all only those that match the condition should be included in the sequenze because I am doing batchprocessing like in figure 6 of http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.7.5.html. I have done like this now: <dtml-if "objectValues(['Meta type'])"> <table width="600" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" cellpadding="0"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Meta type'])" sort=date,submittedDate,id reverse previous size=batchSize orphan=0 skip_unauthorized start=startNumber> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="common2"> <a href="viewNewsTrigger<dtml-var sequence-query>startNumber=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>"> (Previous <dtml-var previous-sequence-size>)</a> </td> </tr> </dtml-in> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Meta type'])" sort=date,submittedDate,id reverse size=batchSize orphan=0 skip_unauthorized start=startNumber> <dtml-if BOOLEAN> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="common1"> <dtml-var date fmt="%Y-%m-%d">  <a href="viewSelectedNews?entry=&dtml-id;">"&dtml-header;"</a> </td> </tr> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Meta type'])" sort=date,submittedDate,id reverse next size=batchSize orphan=0 skip_unauthorized start=startNumber> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="common2"> <a href="viewNewsTrigger<dtml-var sequence-query>startNumber=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>"> (Next <dtml-var next-sequence-size>)</a> </td> </tr> </dtml-in> </TABLE> </dtml-if> This shows only the objects I want to show but the sequences is counted wrong because even though it doesn't show the objects with BOOLEAN=false they are still counted in the dtml-in. How can I loop only the objects I want to loop? Peter

README.txt Tab
by Robert_J_Roberts＠rl.gov 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

How do I get the README tab to appear in a product? I created a product and it is working great. However, I would like to add the 'README' tab to the product (and if possible to each instance of the product). I looked at other products that have the README tab and looked at the Product.py source code. It appears that I should just be able to put a README.txt file in my product subdirectory and the tab should automagically appear. It doesn't. What do I need to do?

Znolk - Not recognizing ODBC
by Jim Sanford 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

I have downloaded the latest Znolk which claims to now support the Z ODBC DA. When I try to run the Znolk wizard it tells me I have no DB connections when I do. Any suggestions? __________________________________________________________________ Jim Sanford .

Displayed Dates out by 1 day ...
by Jonathan Cheyne 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

I have a zclass containing a date field - when displayed with <dtml-var event_date>, if the field value is 2000/09/19 then it is displayed as 2000/09/18. I have to use <dtml-var "event_date + 1"> but this seems surreal. What am I doing wrong? puzzled Jonathan

Snapshots and Demo of Products
by Peter Bengtsson 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

To the webmasters of www.zope.org and others. When I browse the directory of Products on the zope.org site I realize that the thing I'm missing the most is screenshots and demos of various products. On Product pages on zope.org the default sections are: - name - description - changes - contact - license and download I urge these to be default sections as well: - screenshots - demo This improves the user friendliness of the whole website and might make surfers more likely to download and install the product when they can SEE what it is. This is especially important for the Zope product itself. I have noticed that the first thing I do when I browse zope competitors homesites, is to look at screenshots. So if webmasters of zope.org can push for this and product developers can open their photoshop or gimp and save themselves a couple of jpegs, that would be great!

Re: migration from 2.1.6 -> 2.2.0 breaks ZClass

> I have migrated from 2.1.6 to 2.2.0 by copying Data.fs. Everything > works except when I try to create > a new ZClass, I get "Could not load oid" error. Any help how to fix it is > appreciated. Just checking - but did you also reinstall (from the original tgz's) all of the products you make have based your zclasses on? I have seen oids on standard output until I had fully reinstalled optional products. If in doub, reinstall everything listed under control-panel, products. maybe nothing to do with it of course ..

Reg. ZMySQLDA/MySQLdb-0.1.2 -> compile/install ..
by Jørgen Skogstad 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Kindest .. I am having certain problems with the installment of the product. I dl'ed tyhe v1.2.0 that was recently put out.. and all seems to install and compile just fine with no errors reported. .. and I have manually checked that "import _mysql" works in python .. so it has mysql support. .. however this error message occurs when I restart Zope and check if the product was imported fine (which is obviously was not!) ZMySQLDA Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.2.0-solaris-2.6-sparc/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 396, in import_products File "/<path>/zope/Zope-2.2.0-solaris-2.6-sparc/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py", line 106, in ? import sys, os, Globals, DA File "/<path>/zope/Zope-2.2.0-solaris-2.6-sparc/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/DA.py", line 108, in ? from db import DB File "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py", line 106, in ? ImportError: No module named _mysql Why does this path occur; "/usr/share/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py" ?? I have not referenced anything there.. and should be in the general Zope implementation.. should it not?

Zcounter permission problems
by Peter Bengtsson 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

I use the - http://www.zope.org/Members/srichter/Products/ZCounter - ZCounter product on my Zope site. I create a Zcounter easily and I call i mycounter for example. I then call for it like this <dtml-call "mycounter.count_user(REQUEST)"> (as taken from the above URL) When I open a new browser window (not Ctrl+N), so that login is "reset", the page where I use mycounter requires login in Zope. How do I prevent this? How do I make it work like a regular hit-counter without needs for login? Or more simply, how do I change the proper permission settings to the 'mycounter'?
