ZClass, acquisition, dtml confusion
by Jon Franz 09 Sep '00

Hello, Previously I made a DTML method that when used within a DTML Document would modify properties on that document. Having this floating around in root made it visible to the whole site, but seemed 'unclean'. So, I attempted to make the DTML method into a ZClass, and making the index_html method in the ZClass contain the exact same DTML as the method... But it doesn't work. So, I tried again - this time with as simple a method as possible, a very basic counter. The DTML method I made in root increments and displays the 'z_count' property on the page that calls it, and creates the property if it doesn't exist, so using it is as simple as: <dtml-var mycount> However, I place the DTML into a new class, and then make a new instance of the class, and it wont work as above. I now have to do this: <dtml-with MyZCCount> <dtml-var MyZCCount> </dtml-with> And, instead of modifying the property of the calling document, it modifies the parent folder's properties. Below is the DTML, can someone please explain what I need to do to get this to work on the calling DTML document instead? If I can't get this simple counter to work I'm going to go mad, since changing properties is something I need to be able to do from many of my planned ZClasses... Thanks in advance! <dtml-if "hasProperty('z_count')"> <dtml-var "'%06d' % (z_count + 1)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('z_count', z_count + 1)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('z_count', 1, 'int' )"> 000001 <dtml-if>

I am having problems adding images to my z class I am creating a Z class for a staff profile...I have added an image to the methods of the class. When editing and creating a new profile object I use the following syntax <dtml-call "propertysheets.photo.manage_changeProperties(title= REQUEST['new_title'] + REQUEST['new_name'], data=REQUEST['new_photo'])"> It changes to the MYProfileClass_add_form take place. When I call the above code in the add method......I get an error telling me I do not have access to theMYProfileClass object.. Please I would like some help on how to include other objects in my Z class and how to edit the properties of the included objects. Payng attention to the image example

locale and Splitter.c on FreeBSD - where is the bug ?
by Aleksander Salwa 09 Sep '00

09 Sep '00

Some time ago I had a problem with locales on FreeBSD. Finally, I solved it by patching Splitter.c. I added casting of values passed to funtions isalpha, isalnum to type 'unsigned char'. They are declared in Splitter.c as 'char'. On all machines I'm working on, 'char' is signed. On Linux/x86, isalpha and others works fine with positive and negative values of national characters. (For example, one polish character is '\xc6', what can be evaluated as unsigned 198, or signed -58.) But on FreeBSD/x86 these functions work only with values >127. Because 'char' is signed, it needs casting to work with national characters. Now, the question is: is it a bug in Splitter.c or in FreeBSD system libraries ?

Re: [Zope] repost : pb with acl_users "domains" for clients behind a proxy/firewall

The code handling the "domain" restrictions is in "AccessControl.User.domainSpecMatch". It looks at REMOTE_HOST and REMOTE_ADDR. Thus, your proxy must pass this unchanged. Dieter

Problems with Product initialization (was: [Zope] SiteRoot (SiteAccess) problem)

Joshua Brauer writes: > No, I unpacked the tarball in the Products directory. > > Any more ideas? Any idea how to get SiteRoot to show up on the available items list? To analyse any problem with product initialization, it is probably best to start Zope with "STUPID_LOG_FILE=<your log file>". Then you will look at 2 places: * the "traceback" in the product's management screen * these log file Dieter

Maybe, you could join forces, to get this problem fixed. Dieter

German version of zzLocale
by administrator＠consotec.de 09 Sep '00

09 Sep '00

Hello, is someone working on german version of zzLocale? We would like to join. Currently there is a static translation of the whole interface with zzLocale. So it's difficult to change. If you change something in one language you have to change in all other files too. What's about an integration of zzLocale with ZBabel? How could we do that?
