Hmm. That should have worked. You could try manage_changeProperties(eggs='blue') as an alternative, but the dictionary way should have worked. Did you check the property after the method had executed? Perhaps the change is not visible until the method completes, although I would not expect that to be the case...unless 'eggs' exists "closer" in the name space stack as a variable than it does as a property on the object, in which case the second dtml-var would be picking up the variable value but the manage_changeProperties will have affected property of the object it was called on. --RDM

Best way to subclass DTML Document and some other ZClasses questions
by Marcin Kasperski 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

I decided to subclass DTML Document and (using ZClass) create my own document class (in fact I wanted all my documents to possess some standard properties and prompt for them on initialization and also to be CatalogAware). I succeeded (everything more-or-less works), but I still have some doubts: 1) How can I set standard DTML Document properties (title!) from my constructor? I created constructor form and constructor method, I succesfully prompt for and set all my properties but I do not know how to set properties belonging to DTML Document. 2) Can I do anything to have single property screen which would behave as original DTML Document property screen but present both original properties and properties belonging to my custom property sheet? 3) Can I influence property editing screens (what I want is to increase some edit boxes)? I created also some classes which do not inherit DTML Document or DTM method. I have questions about such a configuration: 4) Can I do something to have ZCatalog PrincipiaSearch (i.e. full text search) to scan some property of my custom ZClass (say property body from propertysheet Basic)? 5) Can I write index_html method of my custom class so it interpret DTML tags (like dtml-var substitution)? And one question after the whole mess. I migrated my (fairly small so far) website from DTML Documents to my custom document class - and I did it manually. But I would not like to perform similar operation manually if the site contained 500 or 5000 pages. 6) What you, Zope gurus, would do if you were to find all the DTML Documents in some directory tree and remove them, creating instead XXXX Documents (where XXXX Document is some subclass of DTML Document) - and keeping the document id, title, contents and properties without change? 7) And what if you were to change something a little - say detect that some property belongs to custom propertysheet and put it there instead on putting on standard DTML Document propertysheet?

Your ZClass inherits the methods of its base classes. You use the base classes methods to access their features. In your specific case, you would use "manage_changeProperties" to change the DTML Document properties. "manage_changeProperties" is defined by "OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager". > 2) Can I do anything to have single property screen which would behave > as original DTML Document property screen but present both original > properties and properties belonging to my custom property sheet? You can create your own ZClass "view" that does this. > 3) Can I influence property editing screens (what I want is to increase > some edit boxes)? Same as 2) > 4) Can I do something to have ZCatalog PrincipiaSearch (i.e. full text > search) to scan some property of my custom ZClass (say property body > from propertysheet Basic)? You just define "Meta Data" or indexes for them. > 5) Can I write index_html method of my custom class so it interpret DTML > tags (like dtml-var substitution)? I do not understand this question: "index_html" has nothing to do with interpreting DTML tags. If there is an "index_html", then, via the web, you can use ".../my_object" and, in fact, ".../my_object/index_html" is used. That is all. When you want to interpret DTML tags, you will need to somehow use DocumentTemplate instances. > And one question after the whole mess.

It could be adapted for your purpose. You may have a look at ZPublisher.Client, too. It allows to control Zope by external Python scripts. Dieter

ZOracleDA problem
by Chris Beaumont 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

Hello, Ive successfully compiled the DCOracle package and then moved the compiled modules to the DCOracle directory of ZOracleDA, and now the DA shows up as non-broken in my Zope installation.. However, when I try to add a ZOracleDA connection object to my Zope website, I get a "this document contained no data" page... back.. it wont work. DCOracle passed the connection test so I know it isnt that.. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm using Zope 2.16 Thank you

Can't change user roles without password
by David Riggs 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

Somewhere along the way, the acl_users/Contents form has decided to quit filling in the value of each user's password, so that their roles can only be assigned if a Manager knows their password...I've got new installation running Zope 2.2.0 and a new CVS PTK release on another box that does it correctly, but I can't determine what's the differentiating factor by comparing them. Any ideas on what I did to cause this, or more importantly, what I can do to fix it? I'm using... Zope 2.1.6 (binary release, python 1.5.2, win32-x86) PTK 0.7.1 WinNT 4.0 SP5 Thanks, Dave.

Newbie Q from non-Newbie: Where does my HTML go?
by J. Atwood 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

Why does EX1 return the raw text (and shows the html) and the second returns the html (nicely) into the page? EX1: <dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(tips.objectValues())"> EX2: <dtml-in "tips.objectValues()"> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> Better way to do EX1? Thanks, J

The mysteries of Product icons ?????
by Daniel Rusch 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

I made an icon form my new product, Zope loaded it correctly. Then someone had the brilliant idea to change it. I can not figure out how to get Zope to load the new icon. I have deleted the product from Product Management at /Control_Panel / Products, rm the *.pyc files, bounced Zope, but it still hangs on to the old icon. Can anyone out there demystify this for me???

Maybe you can give a talk as well ? Just let us know. This is the first event organized by the EuroZope initiative, which tries to better support Zope in Europe due to the great response we received at the Linuxtag 2000 in Stuttgart. EuroZope infos: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/eurozope Maybe you want to attend some of the other events planned by the EuroZope team ? http://zdp.zope.org/projects/eurozope/events We still need Zopers who would like to help us organizing those future events.
