PTK and Membership product
by albert boulanger 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

>From Friday's 8-25 PTK CVS.... PTK has logic to support the Membership product, but it seems to be using the old MembershipZ name. I want to use this combination because we have own own custom database where user accounting will be stored. (I am using PortalMembership version 0.7.2. By the way the version numbers in the code need updating -- it claims it is 0.7.0) class DemoPortalBaseclass in Portal.py I had to change MembershipZ/LoginMember # self.acl_users was magically created by the above call #'PortalMembership/PortalMember' 'MembershipZ/LoginMember' for us in self.acl_users.UserSourcesGroup.objectValues(): if us.meta_type == 'Persistent User Source': us.__of__(self.acl_users).manage_setStorage( 'PortalMembership/PortalMember' ) break But this was not enough, it breaks at: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

> By the way, if I now create a forum with ZUBB, are there any expected > migration problems when I upgrade it to your next release? Ummm... <ahem> no? That is actually one of the things keeping the release back. Mr. Harris did some fine work but it does not upgrade very easily so I am trying to figure out how to include all / some of his functionality as well as be able to upgrade (since I am running a lot of production boards that I do not want to wipe out). I would say to play with the current release, get to know it and I will figure out how to make a mostly painless upgrade path.

Hi RDM Thanks! That works perfectly, and teaches me about namespaces. I just had to fix '</dtml-else>' (I also do that):: <dtml-if sort_key> <dtml-if "REQUEST.form.has_key('sort_key')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('sort_key',REQUEST.form['sort_key'])"> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_key','title')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('sort_key','title')"> </dtml-if> Here's a shortened version of my own, from Squishdot. Instead of this:: <dtml-if "reply_cnt > 1"> <B>(<dtml-var reply_cnt> comments<dtml-if body_len>, <dtml-var body_len> in body</dtml-if>)</B> <dtml-elif reply_cnt> <B>(<dtml-var reply_cnt> comment<dtml-if body_len>, <dtml-var body_len> in body</dtml-if>)</B> <dtml-else> <dtml-if body_len> <B>(<dtml-var body_len> in body)</B> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> I made this:: <dtml-if body_len> <b>(<dtml-if reply_cnt><dtml-var reply_cnt> comment<dtml-if "reply_cnt > 1">s</dtml-if>, </dtml-if><dtml-var body_len> in body)</b> </dtml-if body_len> -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

RE: [Zope] Oracle ZODB (Paul's talk in Paris)

It isn't published or checked in. We're trying very hard to focus on getting current bits under control rather than continually releasing new, undocumented bits. The Zope community has been awfully clear to us on making better sense of what is already there. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Satheesh Babu [mailto:vsbabu@csoft.net] > Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 10:37 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Oracle ZODB (Paul's talk in Paris) > > > Hi folks, > > I read the mail about EuroZope conference.

Showing the name of a file-type form variable
by Jean Jordaan 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi Zopers I've got this:: <td><input type="file" name="file" <dtml-if file> value="<dtml-var "file">" </dtml-if> ></td> Which returns:: <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 131dc48> in the input box. I'd really rather have the filename. How does one do that? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Smarter Forms (variant example)
by Jean Jordaan 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Hi all While playing with jules's nice Smarter Forms example, I've made a (perhaps obvious) slightly elaborated variant of it. .................................................................... <dtml-comment> njj == Jean Jordaan </dtml-comment> <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-comment> njj: from How-To: (Hopefully) Smarter Forms 0.1 Created by jules. Last modified on 2000/01/30. </dtml-comment> <dtml-comment> One of my pet peeves is filling out a form, only to find something is wrong. Then I hit the back button to lose all my input. Grrr! The Web GUI doesn't have to be A Bad Thing and with a little effort on the part of the programmer/designer, gently prompting a user to correct their mistakes is quite easy. This is a simple example of a form that is smart enough to know when something is wrong and not lose data. All we're asking for is the user's name -- if it's empty, we print out an error message and don't continue. </dtml-comment> <dtml-comment> njj: Instead of calling the form in a separate method (as recommended by the How-To), build it in the handler page. If necessary, one could factor out the individual *inputs* into separate methods. This allows you to show per-input prompts. </dtml-comment> <form method="post"> <dtml-if expr="REQUEST.REQUEST_METHOD=='POST'"> <dtml-comment> If we're here, the user has hit the submit button and we have form data to consider. </dtml-comment> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('finished','true')"> <dtml-comment> Assume things are OK by setting finished to 'true' If they're not, change the value of finished as we hit an error. </dtml-comment> <dtml-unless "firstname"> <li>Please fill in your first name .. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('finished','false')"> </dtml-unless> <dtml-comment> njj: to avoid repeating the input below, make it a separate method: <dtml-var expr="input_firstname()"> </dtml-comment> First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" <dtml-if firstname> value="<dtml-var "firstname">" </dtml-if> ><br> <dtml-unless "surname"> <li>Please fill in your surname .. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('finished','false')"> </dtml-unless> <dtml-comment> njj: <dtml-var expr="input_surname()"> </dtml-comment> Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" <dtml-if surname> value="<dtml-var "surname">" </dtml-if> ><br> <dtml-unless "otherstuff"> <li>Please fill in your other stuff .. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('finished','false')"> </dtml-unless> <dtml-comment> njj: <dtml-var expr="input_otherstuff()"> </dtml-comment> Other stuff: <input type="text" name="otherstuff" <dtml-if otherstuff> value="<dtml-var "otherstuff">" </dtml-if> ><br> <dtml-if "REQUEST.get('finished')=='true'"> <dtml-comment> If finished is true, all is well in user-land. Show a nice thank you message and instructions on what to do next. Your save data code should go here and before the thank you message is sent. </dtml-comment> <dtml-comment> njj: "save data code": <dtml-call "edit_properties"> </dtml-comment> <p> You're done! Thanks for your input <dtml-var firstname>. </p> <p> You could put a link to somewhere else on your site here... </p> <dtml-else> <p> Some of the fields above still need to be filled in. Please complete them to continue. </p> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <dtml-comment> If we're here, it's the first time through. Print out the form as-is. If you use a form's POST rather than an href link to get here, your user will get an error message which will confuse the whatsits out of them. </dtml-comment> <p>Hello, dear user. Please fill out the form below. Note that the <b>bold</b> items are required before you can continue.</p> <dtml-comment> njj: or do it this way: <dtml-var expr="input_firstname()"> <dtml-var expr="input_surname()"> <dtml-var expr="input_otherstuff()"> </dtml-comment> First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" <dtml-if firstname> value="<dtml-var "firstname">" </dtml-if> ><br> Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" <dtml-if surname> value="<dtml-var "surname">" </dtml-if> ><br> Other stuff: <input type="text" name="otherstuff" <dtml-if otherstuff> value="<dtml-var "otherstuff">" </dtml-if> > </dtml-if> <input type="submit" value="Next>>"> </form> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> .................................................................... -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K
