editing zclass instance properties
by Olivier Laurent 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hello, I've created a zclass to manage a list of tasks to be done with some properties called todo_title, todo_priority, todo_expiry,... The propertysheet is called 'todo_info', the product 'ToDoProduct' and the zclass 'todo' Each instance is created in a folder called 'todos' with names like 'a982706331', 'a456812195',... I put the instance id in a variable called 'todo_id' I'm trying to change zclass instance properties. I followed the Zope Developer's Guide : <dtml-call "a982706331.manage_changeProperties({'todo_title':'Do this'})"> but nothing changes (no error messages). I tried a lot of different things like : <dtml-with "todo.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['todo_id'],REQUEST)"> <dtml-call expr="propertysheets.todo_info.manage_editProperties({'todo_title':'Do that'})"> </dtml-with> or <dtml-with todo_id> <dtml-call "manage_editProperties({'todo_title':'Do this'})"> </dtml-with> or <dtml-with todo_id> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties({'todo_title':'Do that'})"> </dtml-with> Could someone help me fix the problem ? Also : what's the difference between 'manage_editProperties' and 'manage_changeProperties' ? Thanks, Olivier Laurent.

Rendering Properties
by Bodo Bauer 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi, is there a way to render properties? I'd like to include dtml tags in properties. However if I try those won't be executed/rendered properly. i end up with the exact dtml tags send to the browser. Any ideas?

% in Z SQL Methods

Using the dtml-sqlvar syntax is it possible squeeze in a % sign in the expression? Today I use this syntax: WHERE firstname LIKE '<dtml-var firstname>%' Peter

Python Product variable problems
by kosh 25 Feb '01

25 Feb '01

I have a python product and all of the variables that define that object are in a dict as part of the class. My problem is that when I add new variables to that dict for new features the objects already in zope don't get them. I do need the objects to be persistant but was wondering if there is some method I can add which would auto update objects on view, edit, etc if a newer one existed. Thanks

How to create a folder for a given user ?
by Emmanuel Viennet 25 Feb '01

25 Feb '01

Apologies for these simples questions... What is the correct procedure to follow in order to create a Folder owned by a given user (ie I want to create the equivalent of a unix account with a home directory). By the way: in the (near) future I'd like to automate this task (using XML-RPC or some other scripting technique). Where can I find a documentation of the API (I didn't find informations about user creation, ownership change etc in the Zope Book nor in the QuickStart help). Thanks, Emmanuel -- Emmanuel Viennet Dpt GTR - IUT de Villetaneuse - Universite Paris-Nord 93430 Villetaneuse - France http://www-gtr.iutv.univ-paris13.fr/

Owner, or not owner ?
by Emmanuel Viennet 25 Feb '01

25 Feb '01

I'm playing for the first time with Zope 2.3.0 (I have an old site running happily since 18 months Zope 2.1.4:-) I try to setup a site with several authors, each owning its folder. The users are defined at the root (/acl_users). The folder "Team/foo" belongs to the user "foo". In this folder, I grant the permission "View management screens" to the role "Owner". Problem: user "foo" can't manage its folder. If I grant this permission to "Anonymous", it works... In the ZopeBook, we read "Owner: This role is assigned automatically to users in the context of objects they create.". What did I missed ? Thanks for your help or for pointers to relevant documentation. -- Emmanuel Viennet Dpt GTR - IUT de Villetaneuse - Universite Paris-Nord 93430 Villetaneuse - France http://www-gtr.iutv.univ-paris13.fr/
