But then, you must omit the '...'! Believe me: "_.getitem('parameter')" is equivalent to "parameter". Thus, you should use: "_.getitem(parameter).objectValues()" > >Otherwise, your statement is strange. > > > > What object type contains the "dtml-in" (a DTML Method > >or Document)? > > Dtml Document. That may explain why you get a wrong object: A DTML Document brings with it its own context and this context is stronger than that of the call. If you have /parameter /document /subfolder /parameter and you use the URL "/subfolder/document", you will get "/parameter" and not "/subfolder/parameter". A DTML Method, on the other hand, does not bring its own context. I only uses that of the call. Check out URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html for details. Dieter

FYI about Zope 2.3.x and FreeBSD
by R. David Murray 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

A couple of us on the IRC channel were trying to get Zope 2.3 running on FreeBSD. 2.2.x works fine. 2.3.x sometimes seems to fail to run. Both of us got an error importing module 'new', but for one of us zope 2.3.0a2 still ran, while for the other it wouldn't start. 2.3.1b3 failed to start for the one 2.3.0a2 ran for. Installing python2.0 from ports and either 2.3.1b3 from source or 2.3.0a2 from the FreeBSD port works fine. --RDM

Re: [Zope] Getting a date into an object title - DISREGARD

Why is it that within 5 minutes after posting a notice on this list that I figure out a solution to the problem? Is there something therapeutic/magical about this list?

Form processing in Zope
by Gitte Wange 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

Hello, I have now found out that my problem isn't just a select box in Zope, but it is all form processing. I am mostly a PHP programmer so I am used to when you make a text field in a form named e.g. Name it will (when you have hit the submit button and the script you have set as actionscript receives the form) be declared as a variable named Name. But I guess Zope doesn't work this way. So how does a dtml document recieve the fields in a form ?

Re: [Zope] zopesh

I now my poor english is not enough good to explain my problem this is the reason why I sent you the example below. I think this problem is connected with the new zope release (2.3.0) because zopesh works perfectly with the previous release. Is there somebody who has experienced the same problem using zopesh with zope 2.3.0 ? If so, please help me!!!

Opinions sought on acquisition issue
by The Famous Brett Watson 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Hello folks. I encountered an issue whilst site-tweaking last night and solved it immediately, but it has me intrigued as to how more experienced Zopists than I might approach it. Any wisdom you'd care to share on the matter would be appreciated. I have a site which includes a "weblog" type arrangement, and I keep the log entries in a folder called "log". There's a subfolder called "images" for pictures that I might want to include in log entries. There's also an "images" folder in the root directory for site-wide graphics such as the site logo. Thus, in the context of the "log" folder, "images" means the log-specific images only. This means I can't address the site-wide image objects in this context without reference to PARENTS[-1] or similar. {Side issue: wouldn't it make sense to have "ROOT" or similar as an alias for PARENTS[-1]?} Specifically, I can't say "images['site-logo.jpg']" in a Python expression, since it will look in the wrong "images" container. I resolved this issue by renaming "images" in the "log" directory to "log_images", thus ensuring that they have distinct names. I was planning on making this distinct-naming my general approach in future. The "images" name makes more sense from a URL perspective, but the "log_images" name makes more sense from an acquisition perspective. The reason that this is an issue at all, however, is because identically-named container objects to not acquire the contents of the containers they mask, if any. The "images" folder in the "log" folder masks the "images" folder at the root, thus *hiding* the contents of that folder rather than *acquiring* the contents of that folder. What would the implications be for Zope if acquisition meant that a failed method invocation resulted in further traversal of the namespace stack instead of immediate failure? Thus, if I try to reference "images['site-logo.jpg']", and the first "images" object found does not contain 'site-logo.jpg', would it be a good, bad, or ugly thing for Zope to *continue* the search for "images" objects containing a 'site-logo.jpg'? A container's contents might not be the only thing one could acquire in this manner: perhaps other methods could also perform some kind of continued search for success if they encounter an exception early on? This might get very confusing. I await with interest your pontifications on this matter. Regards, TFBW

Re: [Zope] Getting a date into an object title - DON'T Disregard
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Therapy or not, I spoke too soon. I did manage to get a time in as part of the title. Unfortunately, the time that I got was ZopeTime(). What I want to get in is the time (really a date) set by the user. This date is taken in as input from the form page, it is then sent to a DTML Method that then calls the Python script. As I mentioned before, the parameter in question is "contact_date". If I try to set myTitle = '%d' % contact_date then I get an error. However, if I try to set myTitle = '%d' % report_title then I don't get an error. The report_title parameter was set in the DTML Method that was called by the HTML form. that code is <dtml-let report_title="ZopeTime()"> Unfortunately, if I set <dtml-let report_title=contact_date> I get an error. Note, the </dtml-let> is AFTER the call to the python script. Is there something I'm missing?

When I try this I get the same error as before. it still tries to access the site root in http://www.whatever.com/www/www.whatever.com/ Is there a configuration file I could delete? I have tried uninstalling both the zserver and zope packages and removing the /var/zope directory, but to no avail.
