You could, but that would be a seriously oversized sledgehammer for what is probably a very small nut... > Please help me out, otherwise i will have to go back to perl. I wouldn't worry about that either, Perl is coming to Zope some time soon... good luck, Chris

Newbie: Date checking?
by Andy Gates 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

A quicky for you Zopistas: I have some dates in a database, which govern when a story becomes live and when it expires. I need to do a test along the lines of: dtml-in stories if (startdate is past) and (expirydate is future) show the story /if /in I have seen the fmt parameters isPast and isFuture and this gives me a true/false response: <dtml-var startdate fmt=isPast> but how do I use that in an if test? I keep (as usual) getting syntax errors. Help! ---------------------- Andy Gates, Learning and Research Technology Andy.Gates(a)bristol.ac.uk - ICQ#74362415

Tremendous reply!! Just what I needed. I'm curious about one thing tho. <If you don't need a regular web server (for serving files outside of Zope), stick with the built-in ZServer. > Does this mean that I have to have all my files in the zope folder? Wouldn't I want to do that anyway? Can you elaborate? I'd like to stick with the Zserver if I can but I don't want to run into any road blocks too soon down the road. -mjm

SSL,Zope and Users in Zope
by Michael Arndt 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

a) what do i have to to to use SSL and Zope ? normaly i use Apache and Zope. Has anyone Apache SSL or mod_ssl and Zope as Platform ? b) User Admin: if i define users i two disjunct Contexts of Zope, can i somehow merge this accounts or does that mean they have to be defined at root context ? Vice versa is it possible that two accounts with the same id exist in different parts of the Zope tree without knowing of each other ?

Reusing standard_html_header/footer
by Michael Gutmann 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

This is not a question, I think it's more a request for comment. Problem: I have the following structure of folders. The top folder has the global standard_html_header and acquisition has it, that it is usable in all the subfolders. / standard_html_header SubFolder1/ SubFolder2/ Now I have a small modification in my headers from SubFolder1 downwards. Well, there are many ways to cope with that problem, I want to do it that ways: I want to integrate the old standard_html_header into the new one I define in SubFolder1. Ok, that can look like this: <load old standard_html_header> <my addtional code> The problem I have to solve now, is to load the old standard_html_header. Solution: I will give you all my tries, just for fun :-)) :-( First try: <dtml-var standard_html_header> The easy way certainly doesn't work. It gives a nice error: "SystemError: infinite recursion in document template" And it shows you, that Zope really is quick. It does the infinite loop in less than 30 seconds :-))) :-( Second try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[1].standard_html_header"> Well, this gives me the right object, but it isn't rendered. As I reviewed the list archive, I found out, that this seems to be normal. Maybe somebody can explain why, if he/she has some sparetime. :-( Third try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[1].standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> Wow, it works! But, as the smiley implies, it has its disadvantages: Using it in SubFolder2 gives again an infinite recursion. Find out for yourselves, why ;-)) :-) Fourth try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[-1].standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> or: <dtml-var "FolderName.standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> if you want to use the method of a subfolder. That seems to be the right way. Any comments? After the second try (my first serious one ;-) I tried the following: <dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]"> <dtml-var standard_html_header> </dtml-with> but this has the disadvantage, that standard_html_header uses the namespace of PARENTS[-1] to display things like id or title. Maybe this should go into the FAQ?

with zope 2.2.0a1 there was a problem with the tutorial and Gadfly read the last chapter here, perhaps it meets your problem: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.0a1/upgrading_to_220 </usc>

Redirect when not authenticated
by Paul Gresham 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Hi All, I have a secure directory (no Anon access) and when I access it, it will throw me to a login screen in the GUF folder in that dir. What I really want to happen is for the user to be thrown back up a level to the main login/news etc etc screen which is a better place to start. however I seem to be getting all sorts of security problems. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks Gresh
