The latest SiteAccess is packaged a little differently from most other products. Most products are created with the idea that you will untar them in your Zope directory, adn they will put themselves in lib/python/Products/ProductName. SiteAccess just puts itself in the directory SiteAccess. Therefore, you need to untar the siteaccess archive in your lib/python/Products directory. Seeing as you've already done this, you can simply move the SiteAccess folder from one level below your Zope installation folder, and put it in your Products folder. The reason SiteAccess is this way is that it provudes better compatibility with using INSTANCE_HOME to share a single bunch of code between many Zope instances. >From the CHANGES.txt file: * The tarball no longer includes 'lib/python/Products' in file paths. It must be unpacked in the Products directory, for better compatibility with INSTANCE_HOME installations. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

dtml syntax for showing folder objects?
by sean＠horse101.com 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi, I wonder how one would show the dtml documents in a folder with a dtml statement. I see it working with the tree command and I see it working in Yihaw, but there must be a simple way to show just files as links by some sort of call with the subfolder name. Any ideas?

OK. I just downloaded SiteAccess 2.0.0b3 and untarred it in my Zope directory. I shutdown and restarted Zope but when I go to Control Panel/Manage Products I do not see SiteAccess listed. AM I missing something here ( quite probable )?

Product creation question
by Daniel Rusch 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works great. I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects that product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents, dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder). I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory, such as Local File System????? The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? ob.manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_html', title='') <-- THIS LINES GENERATES AN ERROR: AttributeError: manage_addBasicDocument ref the code below. Please reply all if you are responding from the dev list as I usually don't monitor the dev list. Thanks, Dan def manage_addSimpleSite(self, id, title='', createNewFolder=0, createEditFolder=0, REQUEST=None): """Add a new SimpleSite object with id *id*.

<dtml-let ..> method </dtml-let>
by Jean Jordaan 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi all The answer to my previous question makes this one occur to me: if <dtml-var id> in a method refers to the containing document's id, does 'myMethod' get to see 'myVariable'?:: <dtml-let myVariable='Beep'> <dtml-var myMethod> </dtml-let> Testing .. yes, it does! Cool. So why does this:: <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=<dtml-var sort_key>> give:: Invalid attribute name, "sort_key", for tag <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems (['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=<dtml-var sort_key>, on line 18 of docsByTitle How do I get 'sort_key' in there? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Re. Generic Workflow Products?

The ZPatterns project the Phil Eby and Ty Sarna are running is intended to lay the groundwork for just what you want. They call it "SWARM", and if memory serves, the "W" is for "Workflow". ZPatterns has been incorporated into the next rev. of the Portal Tool Kit to some degree. http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/ZPatterns/HomePage http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/ The discussion below is from: http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/ZPatterns/SummarizedVersion " Other applications of ZPatterns stevea: I'm using it to support a Product Line Infrastructure -- a bunch of related applications that reuse bits of each other but in differnet contexts. However, I've only got the first app so far :-) JeffH?: We need to build a workflow system. We need to build a content management system. We need to build a customer relationship management system. I only want to build each one once. They must, at some point, cooperate with each other depending on the context in which they are being used. roche: we also need to build a customer relationship system rdmurray: We could probably use a community collaboration on a CRM project. MrTopf?: wonders if he could use ZPatterns for his Groupware ideas.. SWARM pje: ZPatterns is the basis for another system Ty and I will be building, called SWARM... State-based Workflow And Resource Management So, it is probably a good match for other workflow apps. stevea: I've seen that acronym somewhere inthe Wiki I think. Will SWARM be open source or verio internal? pje: Open source. tsarna: (pje and I are arguing as to weather propertysheets on users already work or not... hold on :) pje: The idea is that there will be Plans, which have Phases, Events, and Roles. Then "ObjectsWithPlans" will use the plan as a kind of state-based attribute provider. You can actually do state-based stuff now, using just GAPs?. jean: I'm champing at the bit to show off something like SWARM at work. Stuff like Journyx and an inhouse issue tracker are being pushed, and I feel they're steps backwards. We're going to have to zopify some anyway, better to invest more in it, not disperse across other cruft." To me ZPatterns and SWARM represent an even higher level of Zope development that will impact Zope Deployment similarly to the way Visual Basic changed Windows Development. Watching this take shape is kind of like knowing about the Normandy Invasion about six months ahead of time. Later, Jerry S..
