Lobbying (was: [Zope] html_quote in python methods?)

Please help lobbying that the functionality of all "dtml-var" attributes are exposed as standard functions. The functions are there already, just not exposed to DTML and PythonScripts. Dieter

objectValues Question
by Koch Marc 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

Hi, I'm new to Zope and while 'playing' around I wondered about the following: I've created a DTML method (called MyListFiles) that lists the 'File' objects contained in a folder: <ul> <dtml-in "objectValues('File')"> <li><a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var id></a></li> </dtml-in> </ul> This works as expected when I run it using the 'View' tab. Now when I create a DTML document and call this method like this: <dtml-var MyListFiles> it produces no output. Why?

> Some databases convert them to uppercase! > Oracle is a prominent example! > It took me once some ours to locate a bug resulting > from this "feature". This reminds me of another post I did some time before, but where nobody replied. Shouldn't tags for creating sql-statements in ZSQL (like dtml-sqltest) quote the variables by default in order to prevent unexpected conversions by the database? I had to patch Zope in order to be able do queries on a postgres db with capital column-names, because postgres converts all unquoted columnnames to lowercase. cheers, oliver

Non-ASCII-form-input -> HTML-entities?
by Markus Kemmerling 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

I would like to have users being able to enter german vowels ä, ö, ü and other non-ASCII-characters for which HTML-entities exist (ISO 8859-1) into a form-input-field and have them rendered as HTML-entities by the corresponding var-tag in the form-handler. The 'html_quote'-attribute only seems to convert &, <, and > (and quotes?). Of course I could write my own python-method with a lot of replaces. But that would probably mean to reinvent a wheel that already exists (this seems to be a rather common task to me). Or is there a way to do it in DTML? Any help appreciated. Markus Kemmerling

Editing the z2.py File
by Ben Ocean 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

Hi; I have my own server with virtual hosts. I'm going to build a large Web site on this server with Zope as the base platform. I intend to build more on the Zope platform, but already have several sites built without it. My question is, how do I edit the z2.py file in such a way that I can call up certain virtual hosts and not others through port 80? Also, can I build the equivalent of a doc root off of the Zope root such that Zope could act, in effect, as a virtual host, or do I need to create a separate instance of Zope for each domain? TIA, BenO

You can. It is even prepared for you: "dtml-in" defines variables "previous-batches" and "next-batches" describing all previous and following batches. It you do not like this prepared solution, you can use "sequence-length", another "dtml-in" defined variable, to access the length of the sequence. Dieter

Bad Zope hack (was: [Zope] A subclass from PortalMember of Membership Product and ObjectManager won't list contained objects) Membership Product and ObjectManager won't list contained objects)

I fear this is an acquisition weakness or a bug in how it is used: I some cases, one does not want that a name is acquired. It would be nice, if there were some declaration telling the acquisition machinery about this fact. I do not know, whether there is such a mechanism. If it is, then some Zope developpers did not know about it. To prevent acquisition, many Zope objects provide new definitions for the unwanted attributes. For example, "SimpleItem.Item" defines "objectValues" (and friends) to prevent them from being acquired from the containing folder. This hack does not play well with inheritance, however! If in your case, "PortalMember" provides empty "object*" methods, the correct "ObjectManager" methods will not be found. You may try to switch the inheritance order. However, I fear, the problem is already in "ZObject", the order of which can not be changed. Hope, that in some future time, this hack disappears. Dieter

Be careful! Some databases convert them to uppercase! Oracle is a prominent example! It took me once some ours to locate a bug resulting from this "feature". Dieter
