table display problem
by Philipp Strazny 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

Being a newbie, I have difficulties getting Zope to display tables the way I want to. I have the following defined as my standard_html_header: <html> <head> <title><dtml-var title_or_id></title> </head> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <table width=100% border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td colspan=2 bgcolor="#6666CC" height=25> <img src="images/top_bar"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width=140><img src="images/logo" border=1 width=140 height=122></td> <td> There's some navigation here... </td> </tr> </table> The problem is the width of the cell holding the "logo": when I view a standard HTML document w/ the same code directly in a browser (IE6), the cell has the appropriate width (namely 140, the same as the image). However, when viewed through Zope (but also IE6), the cell takes up half of the table width. Can anybody give me a hint why this might be happening? Thanks, Philipp

Hi Alfred, there are a few things you might want to check. First of all, check if the service itself is running. You can do this using the services control panel (for Windows NT4), or you can use computer management (Windows 2000). If it's not running, start it from there and try again. If it is running, check if you have two processes running in Task Manager, one should be called python.exe and the other one should be PythonService.exe. If one of them is missing, try to stop and start the service or go on to the next step. If all that doesn't give you any results, then stop the Zope service if it was running, open a command prompt and navigate to your Zope directory. There is a batch file in there called start.bat. Run that in the command prompt you just opened, and look it says something like: D:\Zope_PieterWeb>start.bat D:\Zope_PieterWeb>"d:\Zope_PieterWeb\bin\python.exe" "d:\Zope_PieterWeb\z2.py" -D ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Hostname: PClaerho Port: 8080 ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Hostname: PClaerho Port: 8021 ------ 2001-11-21T16:17:19 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Wed Nov 21 17:17:19 2001 Inet socket port: 8090 It should come up with no errors. If that is working fine, you can try again to connect with your webbrowser. If that worked fine, kill the dos box and try to start the service again. A lot of chance that it will work. I saw this happening already a bunch of times on my machines that starting it using the service didn't work first, but that after running it using the batch script, starting the service worked just fine. The reason I suggest to open a command prompt first, and run the script from there, it that it at least stays open when an error occurs...

ZCatalog range searches with floats
by Seb Bacon 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

I'd like a quick piece of Catalog advice before I allow myself to get sucked into it with no chance of escape. I've got a few objects in the catalog, which have an attribute which may be a float, or may be blank. I want to do the equivalent of: "select * from catalog where attr > 4.53" I'm getting back *everything* in the catalog, whatever the value of the attribute. Before I dive in and work out exactly what's going on, I wanted to make sure this kind of thing is currently possible - every example of using the 'range' modifier currently uses a DateTime object for comparison. seb

Looks nice, but you can't specify an ftp port number higher than 99, and mine is running on 8021...

I use HTML-Kit on windows. One reason is because of its WYSIWYG prototype pad. Just click on the tools tab and click the pencil icon to the far right. Sadly enough I'm one of those people waiting for what seems to be vaporware First Page 3. I also like the new Boa Constructor v0.13 CVS version. I'm trying to figure out how to use 0.13 of Boa with Zope. -James > For Windows I use HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/) it has a > nice FTP interface, doesn't mess up dtml, has lots of plugins, is very > configurable, oh yeah, and free. > It is NOT WYSIWYG, but I don't want > it either, that is my preference.

Dear all ZPT documenters (Zope.com folks mostly I think), Can you please try to send one article over to www.devshed.com about how ZPT works? ZPT is something to be proud of and I think devshed.com has a lot of readers. Peter

TinyTablePlus setRow method prompts for download
by Trevor Toenjes 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

I tried TinyTablePlus for the first time, with a single method, with a single line: <dtml-call "testtable.setRow(col1='test',col2='time')"> When I test the method in the ZMI "View" tab, I am prompted to download the method? The method correctly writes the data to the table, but I get the annoying prompt. What is causing this? How do I stop it? TIA, Trevor
