However, as a user, I would not be too happy to get the internal field names. Recently, I did something similar to you. However, I used a list of dictionaries to describe the form. Each list entry describes one form field as a dictionary with keys "name", "title", "type", "condition", ... The description is used both for creating the form and for verifying that all requirements are met. Dieter

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has some odd jobs for me to do with Zope or Python. I am availiable for telecommute positions. I have 5 years experience as a programmer/software engineer and I have recently picked up Zope and Python, but already I feel like an old pro. Drop me an email or give me a call (505) 824-9424. Thanks, Luis.

Simple DTML-IN question
by Terry Babbey 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Everytime I think I am beginning to understand I try to do something new and wham! It won't work for me. I have a dtml-document that I have a list of courses for a college program. I would like to list the courses one item at a time checking the 8th character to see if it is a '-' so I know if the line is a comment or a course name. Here is the coding I have done so far and as usual it does not work so any help is appreciated. <dtml-in "_.getitem(ProgCode + 'CL')"> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> Terry -- __________________________________________________________________ Terry Babbey Technical Support Specialist Lambton College, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada __________________________________________________________________

Problem with ZClasses and Permissions
by Frederic QUIN 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Hi all, I created a ZClass. Automaticly, Zope has created a new Permission called "Add MyZClass". I activated this Permission for a role called "simple user". But, when a user connected has a "simple user" try to add an object from "MyZClass", he can't. Zope return an error... Is there any other Permissions that I should activate ? Do I need to change the configuration of "MyZClass" ? Thanks Frederic

Calendar data
by michael montagne 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

I'm implimenting a cool little calendar object I found round these parts. It uses attributes of it's parent folder to contain the dates and descriptions of items that it displays. So a key may be "2000/07/04' and the value would be "Fourth of July". i'd like to have a pretty dynamic method of entering these values from the web. I'm a little confused about how to do that. do i use an external python method? What form would it take? I suppose I could store the pairs in a text file or database and then read them in each time I opened the page. But it seems the first way is best. Is it possible? Security is more of an issue. How do I deal with that? Is this fun or what!! -mjm
