dtml-if documentation
by Stephan Goeldi 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Can anybody point me to an advanced documentation of the dtml-if tag? The basic usage like <dtml-if methoda> do this and that </dtml-if> is not enough. All found docs seem to stop at a certain point of the dtml-if description. e.g. the "startswith" stuff, Oleg posted yesterday, was very helpful for me. Where is this documented? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Re: [Zope] folder content (big post)

Ok, I was pointed to the right direction in this. The solution is to create a new portal_type and to create a new portal_type_view for this new portal_type. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Newbie - manage mode problem
by Dr. Ashok N. Ullal 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

I am a newbie. I have just installed Zope 2.4.1 under SuSE Linux 7.3 and have the system up and running. I was able to connect with the initial user id and password, create a new user in the root folder and connect as the new user in the manage mode. The strange problem that I am facing is that in some browsers I have the tabbed display in the workspace with the tabs "Contents", "View", .., "Ownership" but in other browsers I do not have any tabs and only the view of the index_html web page. I have tried this locally on the Linux system with two different browsers, Konquerer (work right) and Mozilla (does not work right), and across the net using MS Internet Explorer 5.0 (does not work right) and Mozilla (does not work right) under Win2000, and again across the net using MS Internet Explorer 5.0 (works right) and Mozilla (does not work right) under Win98. Works right means that I have a tabbed workspace so that I can manage the site. Does not work right means that I have no tabs visible and hence can't do anything by way of managing the site. Has anyone seen this effect before? Does anyone know what browser settings are needed for getting the tabbed workspace? Prof. Dr. Ashok N.

folder content (big post)
by Stephan Goeldi 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

In CMF, when I add a folder (not portal folder) via the ZMI, it is viewable in CMF. When I click on "folder content", it is not seen and not editable. When I add a portal folder (via the "folder content" functionality of CMF), it is seen by "folder content". But these folders behave different than standard folders: portal folders seem to include the functionality of standard_html_header and standard_html_footer. I do not have to include these two tags in an index_html. The standard zope folder needs these two tags. One level above resides an index_html, which includes these two tags. The index_html is needed, because the subfolders shall display some pre-formatted stuff. Now the standard Zope folders display everything correct, while the portal folders display the standard_html_headers twice. So the actions_box and the top of the CMF is displayed twice. So I need an answer on how I get these standard folders (not portal folders) seen, when I click on "folder content". I have to edit the folder itself (description etc.) AND the content (portal image etc.). Did I miss something essential? The other approach is, handling index_html on another way. Perhaps i missed a basic cmf philosophy? When I change index_html in the 'custom' folder, it is clear, that the top level appearance of cmf is changed. But what, if I want to change the appearance of a subfolder? Is it correct, to create a dtml method in this subfolder as index_html? The problem is, that the above mentioned functionality of headers and footers doesn't work anymore, when i create such a method outside of cmf. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

FreeBSD compile error 2.4.x to 2.4.3
by Gary & Karyn 30 Nov '01

I'm getting the following error trying to compile Zope 2.4.x to 2.4.3 upgrade on FreeBSD Compiling extensions in lib/python cp /usr/local/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in . cp: /usr/local/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/w_pcgi.py", line 109, in main import wo_pcgi; wo_pcgi.main(me) File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/wo_pcgi.py", line 105, in main import build_extensions File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/build_extensions.py", line 102, in ? make('lib','python') File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/do.py", line 133, in make do("cp %s ." % wheres_Makefile_pre_in()) File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/do.py", line 104, in do if i and picky: raise SystemError, i SystemError: 256 the python2.1 is a python that worked just fine for 2.4.2...However, unless I am being incredibly stupid, it doesn't have a config folder: Makefile.pre.in is in the top python2.1 folder. Has anyone else encountered this, or feel the need to fix it? If not, I guess I'll dig in a bit...look at "wheres_Makefile_pre_in", for instance... Thanks Gary

dtml-in for another folder
by Gabriel Genellina 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Hi This is a very basic question. I have FolderA inside the root folder, and an DTML Method in FolderA: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <ul> <dtml-in objectValues> <li><dtml-var title_or_id></li> </dtml-in> </ul> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> It generates a list of all objects in the folder, ok. Then, I have a FolderB inside FolderA. When I try to do the same thing on that folder (referencing FolderB from FolderA): <dtml-in FolderB/objectValues> that generates a KeyError. The same thing when I try to use a full path: <dtml-in /FolderA/objectValues> I'm sure I've missed something - I thought that I could call any method of any object just by referencing it, but I see that this is not the right way. Thanks, Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL
