Setting the sort var in <dtml-in ...sort=sortVar>
by Max M 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Does anybody know if it is possible to programatically set the sort parameter in something like: <dtml-in getAllComments sort=fwd_thread> It's the fwd_thread in "sort=fwd_thread" i want to set via dtml to avoid: <dtml-if "sortBy=='fwd_thread'"> <dtml-in getAllComments sort=fwd_thread> Do sorted stuff </dtml-in> <dtml-elif "sortBy=='author'"> <dtml-in getAllComments sort=author> Do sorted stuff </dtml-in> etc. etc. </dtml-if> Or alternativley, is it possible to use the sort from dtml-in in a Python Product as a method on the list that getAllComments() returns? Yes I could roll my own but it would be easier to use Zope's, if I knew how to. regards Max M Max M. W. Rasmussen, Denmark.

What does "mandatory" mean? Rejected by Ken, if it is missing? Hope not ... Many posts here are from newcomers. Let them a chance to get acquainted with the list and its nettiquettes. Dieter

Hello, can Zope pages be exported as html pages. I want to burn some pages out that do not change often and thus do not need to be dynamic. Thanks. -- Vincent Stoessel vince(a)idev.com Internet Applications Engineer IDEV http://www.idev.com V: 301 495 7345 x129

sendmail query (confirmation)
by Lee 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Hi, Is there anyway to confirm that a message has been sent using <sendmail> other than including your own email address in the cc list? I've got some text at the bottom of my <sendmail></sendmail> just saying "Mail sent". If it reaches this then is it *guaranteed* that the message has been sent? Is there any sort of log file kept detailing (send)mail activity that I could perhaps use? Thanks very much for any info.

Re: [Zope] sendmail / python list parameter -> DTML method
by Lee 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Thanks again Dieter! Everything's working just about perfect but can I ask you one quick question? When a form is submitted the current REQUEST object's form data is cleared and repopulated using the new form input parameters, yeah? Is it possible to *not* clear it? Why do I want to do this? Well, I've used <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('recipients',[])"> to help me display an email message in a form, which when submitted will be sent using <sendmail>. >Email message displayed here< <form action="method4"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="<dtml-var subject>"> <input type="hidden" name="sender" value="<dtml-var sender>"> <input type="hidden" name="senderEmail" value="<dtml-var senderEmail>"> <input type="hidden" name="message" value=<dtml-var message>""> *** some code here to pass the recipient *list* as a parameter / stop the REQUEST object from being cleared *** *** e.g <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value=<dtml-var recipients>"> or <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value=<dtml-var recipients>:list"> produces the wrong results... *** <input type="submit"> </form> If the list holds ['ltyler', 'lreilly'] then displaying it in the next method using <dtml-var recipients> produces ['ltyler', (i.e. the first element). Do you know how can I get round this? I've CC's this to the newsgroup in case someone there can help.

Re: [Zope] Tools used for programming Zope

It mounts an FTP/WebDAV server as a drive in windows explorer. You can then edit the files with your tools, etc. It would be of very limited use with CVS though. They have a 20-day trial if you want to have a go at it. Ayhan
