Then give him a local role (of manager or whatever) in each folder, he should be able to manage. Dieter

Bug in Zope 2.3.1b3 PythonScripts (I think)
by Mayers, Philip J 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

My earlier mail about the PythonScript calling DTML method appears to have been confirmed, at least on the RedHat 6.2 sparc platform. I just downloaded a clean installation of 2.3.1b3 onto another machine and did a clean build - no extra products, no imports, and the following PythonScript in the root: print context.standard_html_header(context,context.REQUEST) print context.standard_html_footer(context,context.REQUEST) return printed Gives this traceback: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type list) Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 353, in _bindAndExec (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 336, in _exec (Object: test_html) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at 689a30>, 'context': <Application instance at 7399e0>, 'container': <Application instance at 7399e0>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 2, in test_html (Object: <lambda>) TypeError: (see above) Identical code functions as expected under Zope 2.3.0 release code on the same machine. I can't see any obvious differences in either Products/PythonScripts or DocumentTemplate/ but I'm hardly a Zope core hacker... I guess it must be in the acquisition code. Suggestions welcome - I tried to put this into the Collector but got various combinations of unhelpful error messages (Pricipia Unavailable being the principle one) - oh well <grin> Suggestions welcome...

How can I use 'sequence-item' in <dtml-if> tag ?
by Anton A. Zotov 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

Hello again, How can I permit such an operation in DTML-method: (see pseudo-code): <dtml-in...> IF sequence-item EQUALS something then bla-bla-bla </dtml-in> I tried <dtml-if "sequence-item=='bla-bla'"> It won't work. Zope thinks sequence is a different variable. Thanks in advance Anton

simple DTML-VAR question for Images
by Jaymer 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

I'm having a brain fart... So, if I'm in my standard footer, for example, and I want to display an image, but the image is located in a SUBDIRECTORY, then how can I reference that Image Object since it is "below" my current path and the <DTML-var> acquisition stuff won't work? It makes sense to place all images in a common subdir, and I obviously don't want to hardcode the path into the footer. I've seen the way squishdot uses their advertising method, for example, to place a banner add and link at the top... but I don't want to do through all that. I'm sure I'm just missing a piece of syntax. tia, jaymer...

copying Data.fs
by Donald Braman 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

I'm trying to move a site from Linux to Win2000. Zope is installed and running on both. I shut down both zope servers. I copy the Data.fs file. I start up the Win2000 Zope server. It give me an error. Are there special tricks involved here? I haven't found documentation on platform migration...is there any? I'll send back more detailed error messages/logs if I'm following correct procedure. Don

How to pass values from python script back to calling dtml-method ???
by Anton A. Zotov 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

Greeting, people ! I may seem completely ignorant, but Zope namespaces are driving me wild for the last couple of days :-( I need to solve a pretty simple task: I have a dtml-method which calls a Python script. When that python script is through, it has a variable (say, returnValue="return value"). How can I access this variable in calling dtml method ? Please help !!!!
