How to test if an object exist
by Francois-Regis CHALAOUX 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi, In the following code I test if a folder exists. The folder name to test is generated on the fly and here I try to simultate it with 'exce' function (may my error). The first time object2create does not exist and object2create is well created but if run again the script I obtain the following error : Errot Type: NameError Error Value: folder1 How to manage this problem ? FR. ===== CODE ===== def testFolder(self): self=self.this() sub1=self.folder1 exec "object2create = 'folder11'" try: if sub1.object2create: return 'Object exists' except AttributeError: sub1.manage_addFolder(object2create) return 'Object created'

Hi Phil > Is docsByTitle a DTML Document? It's a Method alright -- cutting straight off the screen:: DTML Method at /docs / docsByTitle and 'index_html' is:: DTML Document at /docs / index_html > <a href="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var > next-sequence-start-number>"> Hmm, it sounds like you expected 'document_id' to refer to 'index_html' instead of to 'docsByTitle'. That sets me thinking. Hmm! It works exactly that way if you replace 'document_id' with 'id'! Does this break anything?:: <a href="<dtml-var id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>"> Thanks! -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Including a method returning batches inside a page.
by Jean Jordaan 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi all In my 'index_html', I have:: <dtml-var docsByTitle> This is supposed to return batches of documents, similarly to http://www.zope.org/Products/ [1]. It works halfway, but the links to previous and next batches of course refer to 'docsByTitle' and not to 'index_html':: <a href="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>"> I could include the looping code in 'index_html' (like [1] does), but that isn't pretty -- and besides, I'd like to be able to choose between 'docsByTitle', 'docsByOrigin', 'docsBySeries', etc. Is the best way to do this to carry the relevant variable ('sequence-query', 'next-sequence-start-number' back and forth between 'index_html' and 'docsByTitle' in the REQUEST? How would you tackle this? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

PYTHONPATH issue .. import failing
by Jean Jordaan 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi Zopers When installing the 'jcNTUserFolder' product, I now get a broken product in the Control Panel, and the following traceback:: jcNTUserFolder Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 387, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\Products\jcNTUserFolder\__init__.py", line 1, in ? import NTUserFolder File "C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\Products\jcNTUserFolder\NTUserFolder.py", line 9, in ? import win32net, win32netcon ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. My PYTHONPATH is set as follows:: > echo $PYTHONPATH C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin The importing code in 'C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\Products\jcNTUserFolder\NTUserFolder.py' looks like:: import win32api import win32net, win32netcon import win32security The files to be imported seem to be:: C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin\lib\win32\win32api.pyd C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin\lib\win32\win32net.pyd C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin\lib\win32\lib\win32con.py So why is 'win32api' found and the other two not found? The Python API ref has: "For instance, if the Python executable is found in "/usr/local/bin/python", it will assume that the libraries are in "/usr/local/lib/python1.5". (In fact, this particular path is also the ``fallback'' location, used when no executable file named "python" is found along $PATH.) The user can override this behavior by setting the environment variable $PYTHONHOME, or insert additional directories in front of the standard path by setting $PYTHONPATH. The Zope install has no 'lib/pythonN.M' directory -- so along what path are imports searched for then? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Access to management screens slow in Opera
by Jean Jordaan 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi all More funny Opera 4.01 behaviour. When accessing '/manage/' for the first time after startup, '/manage_workspace' just doesn't appear. The status line says 38kb loaded at 128 bytes/second (and falling), and it's been saying that for 5 minutes now. This usually happens when I start up. Viewing the same page with IE in the meantime works perfectly. When I interrupt Opera, the correct complete page appears. -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Normally you'd notice breakages on your mail server - but your web server might be a different matter entirely. Course, it doesn't help in Chris' case, but there's nothing that can't be fixed with either a single CD of redhat or 3 CDs of debian. (or a freebsd CD, if that's what gets you going).

Vocabulary and stop words
by Andy McKay 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

I havent been able to the find TFM to read on Vocabulary and stop words in ZCatalog. I need to search by stuff such as XML::Parser and I think I need to patch 2.2 to do it. But a FM would help. Can anyone point me that way.
