Displaying text from one document inside another?
by Bruce Eckel 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

Is it possible with DTML to display a portion of one document inside of another one? In other words, inside the second document I would like to put something like: <dtml-var PortionOfTextFromFirstDoc> Thanks.

templates in instance and class?
by Peter Bengtsson 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

Suppose you have a ZClass which holds a couple of methods, scripts and templates. It is an advantage to keep the templates inside the ZClass if you upgrade the product and don't have to change the instance. Likewise it is also an advantage to "take control" over the templates for translations and branding etc unique to that instance. How can this be combined? Ultimatly I would like to be able to (from inside the instance) choose from available templates, methods or scripts and take control over them. Then one could (almost like versioning) check if there is a new version of the ZClass template and in that case perhaps "download" that and do the modifications you need to do again. I see this not as a modification to how Zope and ZClasses work but as a feature to my ZClass. The only problem is how to keep two objects of the same id. One "baseobject" in the ZClass and one in the instance. Following is a hack that could do; but it is a hack. -- in ZClass method template called 'index_html' (pseudo code) -- if hasattr(context,'index_html_instance'): return context.index_html_instance() else: return context.index_html_base() Any ideas or smart solutions to this?

Zope and vim 6.0: netrw, explorer etc.
by Gregor Hoffleit 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

I'm trying to set up an environment where I can comfortably edit my Zope sites using vim (6.0). I know about ftpExplorer, and it works, but it feels like a hack: It doesn't use the netrw.vim code, but uses its own Python code to read/write from the ftp server, and what's more important, you have to change ftpExplorer.py whenever you'd like to connect to another host. OTOH, the netrw.vim code in vim 6.0 looks quite strange: It has some limitations (e.g. regarding port numbers) and room for enhancements (webdav support). Furthermore, as a replacement for ftpExplorer, I would need some code to browse ftp (http/scp) sites. Is somebody else working on these things ? It looks like a nice project; I'm lacking the vim programming skills, but if nobody else is working on it, I might be forced to go on and try. OTOH, maybe it would really make sense to enhance explorer.vim to some kind of protocoll-independent browser for hierarchies of files. Gregor

Oh. I'm sorry I wasn't very clear. I currently have apache/mod_rewrite in front of zope/zeo. Thus, to lessen clutter on httpd.conf, I want to put all rewrites in a file and call it from there. My main problem comes when VirtualHostMonster is involved. rewritemap doesn't seem to work properly. If someone has implemented this, PLEASE help me.

Re: [Zope] DCOracle2/ZOracleDA - Unable to create a connection
by Todd Graham 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

I think I might see the problem, on my installation I moved the entire DCOracle2 directory to /lib/python/Products, in fact I think I compilied it in there, but that shouldn't matter. Try and remove the DCOracle2 directory from lib/python/Products and move the whole enchilata from tmp and restart your zope. I don't think there is anything specific that needs to have python 2.1 but I'm not 100% on that. If it doesn't work try to recompile it again and repeat the steps above. here is the ls-l from my DCOracle2 in /lib/python/Products total 176 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 binaries -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9784 Nov 5 08:17 CHANGELOG -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10126 Oct 24 14:41 DABase.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11048 Dec 16 09:51 DABase.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7005 Aug 10 10:14 DA.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4983 Dec 16 09:51 DA.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9454 Nov 5 08:15 db.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7499 Dec 16 09:51 db.pyc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 16 09:51 DCOracle2 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 DCOracleStorage drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 doc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 16 09:56 dtml drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 icons -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4113 Aug 10 10:14 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671 Dec 16 09:51 __init__.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 819 Aug 7 20:28 INSTALL -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5011 Aug 8 05:15 install.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1598 Jul 24 2000 LICENSE.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 885 Aug 27 12:12 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1688 Aug 7 20:36 MANIFEST drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 proof -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4480 Mar 26 2001 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1892 Mar 26 2001 setup.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7187 Oct 9 11:05 SP.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5268 Dec 16 09:51 SP.pyc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 16 09:50 src drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 test drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 tests Let me know if that helps.

Import/Export objects
by dnielca＠netscape.net 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

Hello there. I've being looking around documention trying to figure out if is there a way to import/export Zope Export Files (.zexp) throught a linux shell command, outside a browser or the Zope Manage Interface. I've found that functions in the /lib/python/OFS/ObjectManage.py module are used to import/export objects but I still don't know if this functions can be called throught the Linux Shell. If anyone could help me!? Thank's, Nielca -- __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
