by Jean Jordaan 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

Hi Zopers How would one programmatically add a whole bunch of ZTopics? For example, I'd like to have ones for: Getting to know Manual Presentation Press Release Press Coverage Technical Paper User Guide White Paper And adding them one by one can't be the way .. -- jean

Multiple record input into Postgresql
by William Herring 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

I am new to using Zope, but have been succesfull at using a psql input wizard to generate forms to dump data to a postgresql table. However, I have a dilema. I would like to generate a form that can dump multiple inserts to a variable, say x1, into a postgresql table. However, there is an additional variable, x2 that would have to be only entered once and would be the same for every record for which a different x1 is entered. I would like the user to enter up to 50 records for x1. Looking at dtml syntax it seems the <dtml-in> should do this. Could anyone point me to any examples or provide some help?

Hi all I'd like to sort bunch of objects, and this doesn't seem to work: <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['ccDocClassMetaType'])" sort=id> Should it work? How does one sort the results returned by an expression such as the above? -- jean

How to read raw data from HTMLFile?
by Kevin Howe 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

I would like to pre-process a DTML file (accessed using HTMLFile) before displaying it in the web browser. Example Code: dtml=HTMLFile('manage/mycode', globals()) def cleanUp: # eliminate blank lines and  from DTML ..... def printDTML(self): return self.cleanUp(dtml) The problem is that the dtml variable doesn't return the DTML, but the object reference. Is there a way to fetch the raw DTML content from the HTMLFile object? Kevin Howe

RE: [Zope] Requested Zope feature
