Data.fs recovered
by Gitte Wange 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Hey guys, Just wanted to tell you that we are "back in track" with our original Data.fs (almost). I looked at a how-to written by Andy McKay (I think it was) about truncating the Data.fs file. I did that and packed our database - and now it has a size if 117.5 MB ! (Maybe it is a good idea to point out to newbies what the effect is if you aren't packing your database). Anyways we are almost home and safe ... just wanted to thank you guys for your help and patience with me for being a little OT at this list. Didn't know where else to go .... Have a nice weekend ! -- Gitte Wange Jensen Sys Admin, Developer and a lot more MMmanager.org Aps, Denmark Phone: +45 29 72 79 72 Email: gitte(a)mmmanager.org Web: www.mmmanager.org Quote of the day: The 'Manager' role in Zope is like a hot knife through butter. - Rob Page, Phone conversation, Tuesday, May 29, 2001

Escaping DTML in sendmail
by Will Partridge 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

I want to be able to send DTML expressions to myself in email. For example, I want to use sendmail to compose a message that says: <dtml-var standard_html_header> But without replacing the variable with the code it represents. That is, it should literally say "<dtml-var standard_html_header>". I tried HTML style escape codes: <dtml-var standard_html_header> But that sent me, literally, "<dtml-var standard_html_header>". Is there a way to do this? I can implement what I'm trying to do in a different way, but now I'm curious if this way is possible. Will Partridge will(a)vonrex.com

Now view the document with your browser set to english and then set to french. Pretty neat, eh? You can also set a cookie called 'language' to the appropriate code. This assumes that 'fr' and 'en' are in the available languages list in __init__.py (which they are by default). Cheers, Tim -- Tim McLaughlin iterationZERO - www.iterationzero.com 703.481.2233

standard_error_message - displaying non html content
by Noel Duffy 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

I have a zope site where users can access content using either html browsers or wap/wml devices. I want to customize the standard_error_message dtml document to display errors in the appropriate format for each user. For example, if a user tries to access a non-existent url from a wml browser, they should get a nice wml page back saying that the page was not found. Heres the problem. Although I have customized standard_error_message to display a page in the right format, the code in ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py (exception method of HTTPResponse class) checks the error page I generate and, if it doesn't see "<html>" or "<!doctype html" at the start of the page, it wraps my page in some html by calling _error_html. Thus I get a small wml page wrapped in html :-( It makes no difference what the content-type header is set to - I'm setting that correctly for the users browser. Is there any way I can alter this behaviour short of changing the code in ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py? Thanks in advance Noel Duffy.

did u have any solution buddy?
by Vineet.Ahuja＠de.abb.com 12 Oct '01

Do u manage to find anything about that extDocument problem,. CAn you please tell me what that file argument requires in:- manage_addProduct['ExtDocument'].manage_addExtDocument(id='vinFile', title ='vinTitle', file=????) I have tried String read from the file,the file object itself,the path of the file but no success. Only when I pass the file object then atleast it creates the extDocument but with 0 content. It works perfectly when i provide the file argument with the value of file from the form:- <input type=file name="filename"> i.e manage_addProduct['ExtDocument'].manage_addExtDocument(id='vinFile', title ='vinTitle', file=filename) what shall I do?? Best Regards, Vineet Ahuja ABB,CRC,Germany

How to upload file as extDocument using python and not form
by Vineet.Ahuja＠de.abb.com 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Has anybody got gutts to tell me as to how to upload any file as an extDocument using python or anything else but not using form. The problem with me is that I have about 500 word files which I want to upload as an extDocument now if I use a form then that means I have to press 500 times browse button!!!!which is weared. Or if anybody can tell me what kind of data should be provided to the file argument below:- I mean is it a path of the file or a file object or a string of the file read. manage_addProduct['ExtDocument'].manage_addExtDocument(id='vinFile', title ='vinTitle', file=???) I am struggling with these problem from the past one week and if I dont get the solution then I would certainly have to think that zope fails in my eyes.And all time i spent on a zope was a waste!!! Now write some sensible thing!!! Bye Vineet Ahuja

Problems when creating mysqlUserFolder using cookie authentication
by Heimo Laukkanen 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

I am having problems with mysqlUserFolder - when trying to use cookie-based authentication. EVerything is sweet with basic http-authentication, but when I try to switch on the cookie based auth - I run into probelms. If I have created the folder first with http-login and switch from properties to cookie-based, I just get not authorised error, when I try to access the folder. If I try to create the mysqlUserFolder from start with the cookie based auth. I get the following error. You are not authorized to access <em>aq_parent</em>.  Any ideas where to look into? Version of mysqlUserFolder is 0.6 - I tried also with 0.6.1 with no better success. -huima

exUserFolder docs?
by Gary Algier 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

I am trying to use exUserFolder to auth against a passwd style file. Are there any docs for this? Perhaps I am missing something here but I can't find any docs on how to install it or use it. The Zope Book assumes you are creating Products not installing them. I finally figured out that I needed to just untar the file into the right directory and restart. So now I "Add" an exUserFolder, but I don't know how to answer the questions asked. I tried a bunch of different combinations until I got it to create a folder, but now when I try to open the folder it can't seem to find the file. If I had put in a full path name to a file, it tells me it needs to be "simple". If I just put in the file name, where am I supposed to put the file? Is there some general "How to install and use products" kind of docs? Perhaps it is out there (on www.zope.org?) and I am just missing it. I have looked at several Products and they all were skimpy on details so I figure there must just be something generic that I should know. -- Gary Algier, WB2FWZ gary.algier(a)ulticom.com +1 856 787 2758 Ulticom Inc., 1020 Briggs Rd, Mt.
