dtml problem
by Klaus Herrmann 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

Hi! I have a problem with dtml and the docs won't help me out: i want to call e.g. manage_edit on a dtml document. the document's id is stored in the variable doc_id (e.g.). how do i call the function? <dtml-call "_['doc_id'].manage_edit(_['doc_src'], _['doc_title'])"> doesn't work, as zope treats _['doc_id'] as a string and complains that it can't call manage_edit on a string. what's the correct code? thanks in advance! regards, Klaus -- Klaus Herrmann <klaus.herrmann(a)goelz.com> Goelz & Schwarz GmbH, Munich www.goelz.com phone:+49 - (0)89 - 544 67 0 22 fax: +49 - (0)89 - 544 67 0 10

Hi, I have following DTML method for a sidebar construction: <ul> <dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')" sort="_.[sort]"> <li><a class="sidemenu" href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a><br></li> </dtml-in> </ul> I set a property named 'sort' to every folder, but my code doesn't work. How can I achieve arbitrary sorting for the menu? Oliver

WG: [Zope] call by reference

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Arenz, Ralph Gesendet: Freitag, 23. Februar 2001 16:24 An: 'Daniel Rusch' Betreff: AW: [Zope] call by reference They are non object related methods and in the same file. I think i found a way to solve the problem. Do I have to work with the 'global' statement , like this ? e.g: modul_foo: def foo2(): x,y=2,3 foo(x,y) def foo(foo1,foo2): global x,y x=foo1+1 y=foo2+1 Result in foo2: x=3 , y=4 ? ralph -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Daniel Rusch [mailto:drusch@globalcrossing.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 23.

I hope this may work for others. If anyone finds the latest cvs version still giving problems with virtual hosting I'd be glad to hear about it. Thanks, -Simon

nope. i spoke too soon. in actual fact, ie 5.x performed ok. it looks like mozilla/4.7x, 6.x and opera also performed great. here's a the stats after sometime. if we could also compress gifs/jpgs, it'd be better.

Passing Namespace Arguments to ZSQL Methods
by Casey Duncan 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

The other day I learned a useful trick with ZSQL methods that I thought I would share. Normally ZSQL methods look only in the REQUEST object for their arguments. I have had an occasion though where it would be useful to pass arguments directly from the namespace just like other methods, without having to write nonsense like sqlMethod(arg1=arg1,arg2=arg2,...). I found that if you pass the ZSQL method the underscore variable (_) as an argument, it will pull its arguments from the namespace and not just REQUEST. example: <dtml-call expr="sqlMethod(_)"> I hope others of you out there find this trick beneficial as well. ===== | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan(a)kaivo.com `-----------------> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
