You are sure, the string always has this format? Then there is a solution, though an external method might be better: <dtml-let result=sql_method strip_outer_chars="result[3:-3]" split="_.string.split(strip_outer_chars,'\x22},{\x22')" rejoin="_.string.join(split,',')" > <dtml-var rejoin>  </dtml-let> Dieter

API documentation bug (was: [Zope] set date property from External Method)

Note that no type checking or conversion happens when this method is > called, so it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the updated > values are of the correct type. This should probably change. ..." The API doc is old and outdated: Both "manage_changeProperties" and "manage_editProperties" call "_updateProperty". "_updateProperty" has this code: def _updateProperty(self, id, value): # Update the value of an existing property. If value # is a string, an attempt will be made to convert # the value to the type of the existing property. self._wrapperCheck(value) if not self.hasProperty(id): raise 'Bad Request', 'The property %s does not exist' % id if type(value)==type(''): proptype=self.getPropertyType(id) or 'string' if type_converters.has_key(proptype): value=type_converters[proptype](value) self._setPropValue(id, value) Thus, if you pass a string to "manage_changeProperty" or "manage_editProperty", it is converted to the correct type. A Date property uses the type "DateTime.DateTime". > I tried things like: > self.manage_changeProperties(my_prop=time.strftime('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.000 > GMT+1',time.localtime(time.time()))) I checked (Zope 2.2.1): self.manage_changeProperties(my_prop='2000/9/12') You can pass any DateTime value, too, e.g.: self.manage_changeProperties(my_prop= DateTime()) Dieter

Hello all, Zope 2.2.2 has been released - you can download it from Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.2/ This is a relatively minor bug-fix release. It includes fixes for a number of issues uncovered recently during some fairly heavy ZEO testing - ZEO users are highly encouraged to upgrade. It also contains fixes for ZClass factory ownership and some other miscellaneous bugs. For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.2/CHANGES.txt http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.2/HISTORY.txt Note that we have also posted "diff" updates as .tgz files that will let you easily upgrade an existing 2.2.x site. These updates are available for those currently using the 2.2.x source release or the 2.2.x binary releases for either solaris or linux. To apply a differential update to your site: - download the appropriate .tgz file from zope.org - shutdown your Zope process - copy the .tgz to your Zope directory and extract it - run w_pcgi or wo_pcgi *if you are not using a binary release* - restart your process Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

by J�lio Dinis Silva 18 Sep '00

18 Sep '00

more specific it is a zdbase problem, and by consequence zdconfera and zdiscussions are broken. somewhere on startup: zope couldnt import Products.ZDBase ... ZDiscussions.py line 106 ... lib\python\App\class_init.py line 109 in default__class_init ... lib\python\AccessControl\Permisson.py line 204 in registerPermissions Anyone? ps.sorry for this 'traceback' but (dont ask me why) I lost the copy+paste mojo of my window manager :-( _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

manage_delObjects on ZopeTime
by Dr. Anthony Monta 18 Sep '00

18 Sep '00

Hi everyone, I'm rolling my own resume'-posting application for Zope 2.2.x using custom ZClasses and methods, and I have a question: what's the DTML for making these objects auto-delete after x number of days? I think I have to tell a method displaying the resume's to apply manage_delObjects to any invoked resume'-class instance if thirty days (or hour equivalent) from the time of that object's creation has elapsed. But I'm unsure of the syntax and whether there's a danger in using a public display method to delete items this way. <dtml-with Resumes> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Resume'])"> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-if "bobobase_modification_time... <dtml-call manage_delObjects... <dtml-else> <dtml-var index_html> etc. Could someone point me (and other fledglings) in the right direction?

As a follow-up, is it possible to evaluate DTML that is returned from an SQL Query? -Magnus
