Still Problem with LocalFS
by Jorgen Gardsted Jorgensen 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

I have had a similar problem. My solution is based on an external method. I have a folder named localFS with 1) a Local File System named images pointing somewhere in file system. 2) an ExternalMethod called addFile looking like this: def addFile(self, file, fullpath): outfile = open(fullpath, 'w') outfile.write(file.read()) _______ the Upload form has this input: <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="25" VALUE=""> ________ the action-method looks somewhat like this. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('fullpath',localFS.images.getProperty('basepath'))"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('imgresult',localFS.addFile(file,fullpath))"> ________ This is all very new to me. The file is there, and I can read it, so it should work, I guess. There's no error checking though, so be careful. I also intend to let the external method return something meaningful instead of None. best regards Jørgen

RE: [Zope] Newbie: Zope a webserver? Serving PHP and Perl

Lucas, If you don't know of a reason you would need Apache, you don't need it. :-) Zope does not directly handle PHP tags. -----Original Message----- From: Lucas Young (c) [mailto:lyoung@sapient.com] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2000 6:44 PM To: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: [Zope] Newbie: Zope a webserver? Serving PHP and Perl Hi Have just installed Zope under Win2K and it works fine - I see a lot of people mention using Apache to server Zope, but isnt Zope a webserver itself? I can browse to http://server:8080/ and view Zope pages, so why would I need Apache? Also, How do I set Zope up so it handles PHP tags? thanks in advance Lucas Young

I'm puzzled...there isn't any upload at the bottom of the page...but there has always been an upload at the top of the page in the Zope content management interface (along with "Contents", "Edit", "View", "Properties"...etc). If you're talking about, the bottom of the page, there is only an Available objects selection list and an "Add" button. Perhaps it would be better to let you know that I just installed LocalFS, and am very new to Zope. And frankly, I don't even know where to start with the LocalFS product i have installed. The only thing i've done with it so far is add it into my Zope management console from the Available Objects list. Btw, just to fill you in, I'm using Zope 2.1.6 and LocalFS 0.9.4 (could it possibly be the versioning that makes the difference ??).

Blank Date Field?
by James W. Howe 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Is there some easy way to allow for the storage and display of an empty/blank date field? It seems that you are unable to enter a blank value if you defined a property field as storing a date value. I want to be able to store dates in my object, but the date value is optional. Any tips would be helpful. James W.

I want to update from Zope 2.1.6 to 2.2.0. Is there a way to copy my contents to the new version or do I have to start from the beginning ? Thanks Mario

Aaron, The has_role method of User objects can take an optional second argument, which is the object to use as context (to take local roles into account). Note also that you need to pass the list of roles in as sequence. The following should do what you expect: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role(('Manager','siteManager'), this())"> ... </dtml-if> Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

ZCatalog Find Items from dtml
by Bob Barter 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

I would like to force a ZCatalog to update itself with something like: <dtml-call "myCatalog.manage_catalogFoundItems( ?????, 'objectType' )"> where objectType is the type of object that I want to put in the catalog. Looking at manage_catalogFoundItems in ZCatalog.py, I see the following parameters: def manage_catalogFoundItems(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE, URL2, URL1, obj_metatypes=None, obj_ids=None, obj_searchterm=None, obj_expr=None, obj_mtime=None, obj_mspec=None, obj_roles=None, obj_permission=None): >From the above, I am not sure how to construct the dtml-call. Thanks, Bob Barter

LocalFS Documentation
by Kelvin Cheong 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Hi, Anybody know where I can find out more about LocalFS, I've already read jfarr's How-to's and Product Information. But I still need more on how it works. Might aswell post up my problem since I'm already at it. Well, I have this dtml method that tries to add images:  <H2> </H2> <P> <dtml-with REQUEST> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('userTABPIX1',REQUEST.form['userTABPIX1'])"> <dtml-call "manage_addImage('',userTABPIX1)"> </dtml-with>  Data Has Been Successfully Inserted!  I tried replacing (blindly) the <dtml-with REQUEST> tag with both <dtml-with myLocalFS1> and <dtml-in myLocalFS1>, and as to my expectations it did not work. How would I actually upload to the LocalFS object (myLocalFS1) I've created? Does anybody know how??? k.c.

testing for local roles
by Aaron Payne 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Hi all, Is <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Manager','siteManager')"> .... </dtml-if> valid for local roles? siteManager is a local role. It seems that if I use this and there is a user with a local role present nothing is displayed. I'm wondering if there is a has_localrole(....) method of AUTH..._USER but I haven't been able to find it. -Aaron
