[Fwd: Re: [Zope-dev] DateTime formatting with strftime: patch]

-------- Original Message -------- Ämne: Re: [Zope-dev] DateTime formatting with strftime: patch Datum: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:56:52 +0100 Från: Steve Alexander <steve(a)cat-box.net> Till: zope-dev(a)zope.org Referenser: <397C3F55.8C7D1251(a)cat-box.net> This is now in the Collector, as bug number 1457. http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1457/view Incidentally, http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1409/view is another patch to the same problem. However, that patch doesn't address the root of the problem, which is that DateTime instances are associated with a particular timezone, and users expect all formatting to occur with respect to that particular timezone. The fix in collector #1409 makes all strftime formatting happen in the local timezone of the Zope installation, not the timezone given in the particular DateTime instance being formatted.

"REQUEST" a string object?
by Rob Miller 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Arrggh! I'm getting very frustrated trying to accomplish something that should be easy. I'm stepping through all of the files in a LocalFS directory, and I want to dynamically create a <table> that displays all of the sub-directories of the current directory. I want to inject a "</tr><tr>" every so often, so I need to count the number of directories I've found so far to see whether I need to start a new row or not. I've spent a few hours digging through the list archives, so I know that creating a manually managed counter variable is not a straightforward affair. Here's the code that I have: <table> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ctr', 0)"> <dtml-in "fileValues(REQUEST.get('spec', _.None))"> <dtml-if "type == 'directory'"> <dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns == 0"> <tr> </dtml-if> <a href="<dtml-var URL1>/<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var "id"></a><br> <dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns == num_dir_columns - 1"> </tr> </dtml-if> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ctr', _.int(ctr) + 1)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-comment> In case we end in the middle of a row... </dtml-comment> <dtml-if "ctr % num_dir_columns != 0"> </tr> </dtml-if> </table> The error I get, running Zope in debug mode, is this: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'set' This is referring to the <dtml-call> line in the middle of the loop, the one that actually does the incrementing. It thinks that REQUEST is a string, which of course doesn't have a "set" attribute. I've been banging my head on this all day and can't come up with an way to accomplish this trivial task. I don't want to push this into Python; this is simple UI code, not business logic, so it doesn't belong there. Besides, it's absurd to think that I would need to write an external method or some other Python method to do something as simple as this. (It may end up being true, but it's still absurd... ;-) ) Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time, rob

LoginManager, User Sources, ...
by Wolfgang Klinger 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Hi! I searched the archives and found some entries, all concerning the same problem ... I read this: "LoginManager currently comes with a default User Source called Generic User Source (GUS), that is a GUF-like roll-your-own system. It uses GUF-compatible methods (userExists, userRoles, etc), so converting any GUF-using site to a LM site ..... " and wondered where this GUS is hidden and how I actually add users ?? (I'm still a newbie and want to know how it works!) Can somebody please help? TIA Wolfgang

Adding an XMLDocument instance Programmatically
by Gaspard, Bradley S 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

I am trying to write a python method which will programmatically create an instance of an (existing) XML document. (I am using Zope2.1.6 and XMLDocument 1.0a6) I am able to add an XML document by selecting the XMLDocument from the available objects ... so XMLDocument is installed correctly. Essentially I have taken the 'add' method of XMLDocument and tried to turn it into an external method. [I was able to successfully do this for the Parrot product so hopfully I am on the right track] I can' t seem to get beyond importing Document (cannot import name Document). Do I need to import other modules? Is this the best/only way to do this?? Appreciate any help. from Products.XMLDocument import Document def add(self, id, title='', file='', REQUEST=None, submit=None): """ Add a XML Document object with the contents of file. """ ob=Document() ob.title=title ob.id=id if file: ob.parse(file) id=self._setObject(id, ob) if REQUEST is not None: try: u=self.DestinationURL() except: u=REQUEST['URL1'] if submit==" Add and Edit ": u="%s/%s" % (u,quote(id)) REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(u+'/manage_main') return '' I appologize in advance if I have missed something obvious.

delays when processing form posts
by Fernstrom, Christer 24 Jul '00

24 Jul '00

I get unexpectded long delays from Zope e.g. for processing form posts. For example from an edit view under the management screen, simply requesting "wider" takes at least 20 seconds (on a Pentium 2, 400 MHz under W2000). I'm not on a network, and I remember sometimes having had problems working off-line with HTTP servers in Python (blocking until time-out in a socket call). I have tried to trace socket calls, but haven't seen anything unexpected. I'm new to Zope - maybe this is normal behaviour?? Any hints? christer fernstrom
