Newbie->adding content by form
by brocken22＠gmx.de 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Hallo, I'd like a user to add content with a form. The website is made with a framest and content should be added and also the navigation should be updated! I think that's a smaller problem but I didn't find an explanation. I'm very happy about every hint! -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Antwort: RE: [Zope] LoadSite can create a corrupted data.fs ?

Hi Jonathan, Jonathan Desp, 12.07.2000 23:27:03 >Hi, > >How I can make a regular backup ? How I can restore it ? I cannot log in. >it's 100% corrupted. Uhm. As far as I practice, I make backups of the filesystem on a regular basis. If you replace the Data.fs with an older version without the corruption, it does work. Thats why backups are usually made ;) Regards Tino Wildenhain

MySQL LIKE operator
by Aaron Williamson 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Hello, I'm writing a search query to a MySQL database. I want to keep people from screwing around with my database by running searches like "; delete from ... yada yada. So I should use <dtml-sqlvar>, right? But what if I want to use LIKE? If I say: WHERE goo LIKE "%<dtml-sqlvar name=bar type=string>%" then effectively I am saying: WHERE goo LIKE "%'somestring'%". In other words, it will match only the string with the single quotes. I hope this makes sense. Has anyone faced a similar problem? Thanks for any help --Aaron

Re: [Zope] LocalFS Documentation
by Kelvin Cheong 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

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 ??).

R: [Zope] dtml-in and maps...

SO WHAT? I still > don't know what keys were in the map! > > Get the idea? Ya men... [the `name' is not allways `name'] the idea is to make a temporary `sequence-item' So, you have to do something like this: <HTML> <BODY> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('superList',[['string1',0,{'name1':'value1'}],['string2',1,{'name2' :'value2'}]])"> <dtml-in superList> <dtml-let temp_sequence_item="_['sequence-item']"> <dtml-in "temp_sequence_item[2].keys()"> <dtml-var sequence-item>:<dtml-var "temp_sequence_item[2][_['sequence-item']]"> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> <BR> </dtml-in> </BODY> </HTML> As you see, it's not so difficult :) OR you can try with an external method, the code wil not be so UNreadable...

I'll go back and read Jims algebra.. sounds like an eminently logical way of keeping things in order. (o8 However, there are some problems with what you say.

Well, what still gets me is it complaining of the wrong number of parameters... how can this be? I think if we can work that out, we'll be a step closer to heaven. Have a better one, Curtis.

Current Year
by Aaron Williamson 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

I hate to sound like such a newbie, but I am having the darndest time trying to figure out how to get the current year. I know that the current time is ZopeTime, but I have tried every way I can think of to get the year() function to work with it, and at last have given up. The documentation I have found is vague at best (imagine). Please help. --Aaron

Re: Document Title
by Terry Babbey 13 Jul '00

13 Jul '00

Here is my next problem ... I have a variable called ProgCode. That is where I store the College Program I want to look up information on (eg. T043). Now all the dtml documents associated with program T043 have T043 as the base of their name and then the names have extra characters (eg. T043PIC is the picture associated with the T043 program). So what I want to do is append the letters PIC to the variable ProgCode and then test to see if the file exists. Here is one thought I have had so far but it does not work. <dtml-if "_.getitem(ProgCode+'PIC')"> <IMG SRC=/Programs/(ProgCode+'PIC') ALIGN=RIGHT> </dtml-if> ethan mindlace fremen wrote: > Terry Babbey wrote: > > > > Ethan, > > Title and ID show me the title and id of the method I am currently in.
