You can see the error if you try to access the broken product definition in the control panel. I keep a link to the product and the restart button handy to reduce the pain. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

Announce: Squishdot 0.7.0 now available!
by Chris Withers 01 Sep '00

01 Sep '00

Squishdot 0.7.0 is now available from http://www.zope.org/Members/chrisw/Squishdot/ http://www.squishdot.org/Download/Squishdot The following changes were made: - Changes to the Demo Sites and Squishdot core to make them Zope 2.2 compatible. - Updated Cataloging to use the Traversal Interface. This means 0.7.0 will not work with versions of Zope earlier than 2.2.0! - Added in some html_quoting. The Demo Sites could do with a lot more. - Some small changes to the management screens. I'm not 100% happy about how the 2.2 support was achieved, so expect a 0.7.1 release in the near future. If you run into problems, remember Squishdot has a mailing list at eGroups and a bug collector on SourceForge. cheers, Chris

The Challenge: Zealots vs. Skeptics
by Marty McKeever at Work 01 Sep '00

01 Sep '00

A recent thread has developed on a well established web development list concerning the viability of zope as an appserver. I dont want to continue the thread here, but a good question was asked and no suitable answers have come in. Surely this list can help. The question is this: "What are some examples of high-profile and/or enterprise level ecommerce or web production sites using zope?" Send me examples and i'll post them to the original thread. Marty PS: dont send me to YOUR website, unless you can provide the traffic numbers that back it up. ## Marty McKeever - marty.mckeever(a)goingv.com ## Manager / Web Services Division ## Going Virtual LLC., Matthews NC ## http://www.goingv.com (704) 849-0731

How to use DocumentTemplate custom formats from Python?
by Hamish Lawson 01 Sep '00

01 Sep '00

I'm using DocumentTemplate from Python (not in Zope) and I want to use a custom format 'javascript_quote' that I've written. In my DTML file I have: <dtml-var name="name" fmt="javascript_quote"> and in the Python code I have def javascript_quote(s): .... template = DocumentTemplate.HTMLFile( 'page.dtml', {'javascript_quote': javascript_quote} ) print template(None, {'data': data}) But it complains that not everything was converted, presumably because it is trying to interpret the fmt="javascript_quote" as a C-style format. How do I get it to use my function? Hamish Lawson ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

<dtml-with> and PARENTS[0]
by Tim Hicks 01 Sep '00

01 Sep '00

OK, I have a standard_html_header for my site that uses the following <dtml-with "PARENTS[0]"> <title><dtml-var head_title></title> <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="<dtml-var meta_keywords>"> <META NAME="description" CONTENT="<dtml-var meta_description>"> <META NAME="author" CONTENT="<dtml-var meta_author>"> <META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="<dtml-var meta_copyright>"> <dtml-var head_javascript> <snipped rest of document> <dtml-var id> </dtml-with> In this way, the properties of the ZClass (into which the standard_html_header is placed) are used for the for the meta author/copyright/keywords/description/javascript. All of those that I just mentioned work perfectly well, with the correct property being inserted, however, <dtml-var id> results in the id of the parent folder of standard_html_header being inserted, instead of the id of the zclass. Could anyone point out how I can get hold of the zclass id? thanks very much tim

Site Access 2.x problem
by Joshua Brauer 31 Aug '00

31 Aug '00

I have Site Access running on the latest Zope (2.2) but I cannot seem to get "Site Root" to show up in my list of available products. Those sites that already have site roots seem to work fine, but I cannot add new site roots. Anybody else having this problem or have ideas?

Note, that you may want to > quote a (otherwise) formatted value. I don't especially want to make it a format rather than a modifier - I take your point about being able to modify a formatted value. Before I was directed to the DT_Var module, I had been going just on what is in the DTML Reference, where it mentions only custom formats. I've now had a look at the DT_Var module, but I don't see an obvious way to register my own modifier without hacking the module.

Yeah, I tried it by walking from the root, but as you demonstrate, if you go directly to the method, you can edit it. I swear this didn't work before. I haven't thrown away days of my life editing in the textarea. Really. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

Re: [Zope] Mime types for email attachments

You already discussed lots of things with Chris.... I hope, I say only new things: * you will need the MIME patch. It allows you to supply expressions as values for the various arguments of the sendmail tag and its friends rather than constants. Search zope.org or the list's archive (the MIME patch has been mentioned recently, with URL where it can be found). * Use the following MIME types: word application/msword excel application/vnd pdf application/pdf Dieter
