This problem troubled me for few weeks, i really dont know what and where is goin wrong below is my dtml to display the Previous record <dtml-in b previous size=5 start=query_start> <td ><font class="next25"> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query >query_start=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>" style="text-decoration:none"> Previous <dtml-var previous-sequence-size> record(s)<< </a> </font></td> </dtml-in> 'b' is my search sql method, because i got 2 searching key so i have to create 3 search sql method to search my record inorder to select one from these 3 sql methods i used dtml to select from 3 search sql methods, as follow: <dtml-with "Search"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('b','')"> *assign a variable 'b' <dtml-if "_['custname']!='' and _['custid']==''"> * if custname is not empty and custid is empty <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('b', sqlSearchcust3)"> * assign b as sql method named 'sqlSearchcust3' <dtml-elif "_['custid']!='' and _['custname']==''"> * if custid is not empty and custname is empty <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('b', sqlSearchcust2)"> * assign b as sql method named 'sqlSearchcust2' <dtml-elif "_['custid']!='' and _['custname']!=''"> * if custid is not empty and custname is not empty <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('b', sqlSearchcust)"> * assign b as sql method named 'sqlSearchcust' <dtml-elif "_['custid']=='' and _['custname']==''"> <dtml-var "searchallcust"> * call the sql method which select all records. </dtml-if> </dtml-with> so far it can return the correct result for me, but i'm not sure whether is this function affect my Previous record please let me know my problem as soon as possible.

Dimitris, <dtml-in "['Jim', 'Alan', 'Bob']"> hello <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> NOTE: the <dtml-in "PYTHON EXPRESSIONS ARE IN QUOTATIONS"> also note how sequence-item is NOT in quotes, the sequence-item variable is understood in the DTML namespace but not in the python namespace. if you tried <dtml-var "sequence-item">, your essentially saying, print sequence - item and you will get a NameError. try this: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sequence', 2)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('item', 1)"> <dtml-var "sequence-item"> sequence=2 item=1 print sequence - item <dtml-with friends>  <dtml-in ['Jim', 'Alan', 'Bob']>  <dtml-var sequence-item>  </dtml-in> please look at the <a href="http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/">ZOPE book</a>. its full of goodies. you kinda have to learn a little about python to be productive in ZOPE (dont worry Python is the easiest language I've encountered), but you will constantly trip over Python vs DTML (hurdle 1) and then mastering The Namespace (hurdle 2), then armed with that you can work on your Acquisition (hurdle 3, which cant be fully understood w/o the previous 2 steps, IMO). ~runyaga

Change logfile output?
by John Maxwell 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Hope this is a simple question... Is there a simple way to change what I'm getting in my webserver log (I'm just using Zope as http server). Specifically, I'd like to get the login IDs in the log entries. ----------------------------- - John Maxwell jmax(a)portal.ca

External program execution - simple solution?
by Danny William Adair 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

I want to execute my logfile analyzer from within Zope and then access the result files through LocalFS. The latter part is very easy, of course, and works fine, but is there a simple solution to executing an external program? (lying under INSTANCE_HOME) Thank you very much in advance, Danny

List of objects
by Dimitris Andrakakis 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Hi, I trying to make a list of objects in a method, to use in a dtml-in. Something simple like: <dtml-in ['Jim', 'Nick', 'John']> Hello <dtml-var id>, how are you ?<br> </dtml-in> but it won't work :-( a) Does this possibility exist ? Or do I have to use documents ? I know that, if I have documents with ids Jim, Nick & John in a folder (say "friends") this will work: <dtml-with friends> <dtml-in ['Jim', 'Nick', 'John']> Hello <dtml-var id>, how are you ? </dtml-in> </dtml-with> ...but its not what I want. I've been looking all over, but didn't find anything. Maybe its a Python syntax I need ? (I don't know python, but its on my plans). b) If such a syntax does exist, what's the var containing the list item ? id ? or sth else ? Thx, Dimitris @ Nuclear

Cast
by afterz＠zipmail.com 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hi. Do I need to cast or something like that to make this? Because the parameter is an object, but zope treats like a string. Ex.: <dtml-in "REQUEST['parametro'].objectValues()"> The REQUEST['parametro'] is a folder. Thank you.

SimpleItem objects behaving wierdly
by Nolan Darilek 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

I have a product which consists of 2 other objects which, though they are available via the management interface, can't be added unless they're added into a specific location. But I've noticed that, when examined within the specific location, the object type doesn't show up. And, when clicking on the object type to edit its properties, it seems to be treated like a folder and not as it is supposed to be. The product consists of 3 objects. WorkMarket is the object which stores all other objects, contains the site UI, etc. It is a folderish object with subfolders for jobs and projects. The subfolders aren't vanilla folders; they're folderish objects with a few extra methods. Despite the fact that their metatypes are different ('WorkRequestHolder' and 'ProjectHolder') they are still listed as Folder objects. Finally, there are WorkRequests and Projects. Despite the fact that these are descendants of SimpleItem, their types aren't even listed when the folder is viewed; the table cell is blank. I really didn't pay much attention to this until today, when trying to work on the management screens. Basically, I want the properties form to appear when the WorkRequest/Project is clicked on. Here is my manage_options and _properties from WorkRequest: manage_options = ( # what management options are there? {'label': 'Properties', 'action': 'manage_propertiesForm'}, {'label': 'View', 'action': ''}, # defaults to index_html {'label': 'Security', 'action': 'manage_access'}, ) _properties = ( {'id':'description', 'type':'lines', 'mode':'w'}, {'id':'classification', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'}, {'id':'projects', 'type':'list', 'mode':'w'}, {'id':'projects', 'type':'list', 'mode':'w'}, ) Clicking on the WorkRequest does the following: 1. Takes me to a properties display with only the title property. 2. Lists my WorkRequest as a folder object ('Folder at <url>'), and not as its metatype. 3. Produces a list of tabs identical to those for the folder object. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, or what additional information to provide. Is 'manage_propertiesForm' not the method to call to manage properties on SimpleItem objects? Or am I missing something else? What additional information can I offer to help resolve this?

RE: [Zope] what do you use to analyze z2.log files?
by Farrell, Troy 28 Mar '01

I have to use the following 4 lines with Analog: LOGFORMAT (%S: - %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j %r %j" %c %b "%f" "%B") LOGFORMAT (%*S:%j ==> %j) LOGFORMAT (%*S:%j <== %j) LOGFILE /home/zope/zope/var/Z2.log The middle two prevent FTP access lines from being logged or raising errors.

RE: DTML documents killing Zope (was RE: [Zope] ZServer dying)
by Mayers, Philip J 28 Mar '01

There's nothing in the logs, and no core dump - it never actually *dies*, either: 1) The child threads die, and on the following request they respawn 2) Only one child thread dies, the parents parent gets a SIGSTOP and the process becomes unresponsive. The application is... complex. I'll try to replicate it the behaviour as a smaller sample tomorrow...

Nothing shows up in the log? Is there a core dump? I can't replicate this using the latest from the 2.3 branch. Could you send me a .zexp? Cheers, Evan @ digicool

resolving between like-named parent folders?
by Brian Withun 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

How would one go about the following? I have a folder hierarchy represented as shown: A B index_html C D A B index_html I would like the C.D.A.B.index_html to redirect to A.B.index_html For this, I have tried the following in C.D.A.B.index_html: <dtml-var "RESPONSE.redirect(A.B.index_html.url())"> But this only succeeds in redirecting to itself due to acquisition first finding A.B.index_html within D. How can I address Root.A.B.index_html separately from Root.C.D.A.B.index_html ? FWIW, Root.A.B.index_html won't do it, Zope.A.B.index_html won't do it, .A.B.index_html won't do it... ------------ Brián Withun
