FTDraw
by Paz 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hi, As per Jim's non-related email regarding Zope installs, I class myself as uber-idiot... Im trying to get FTDraw running, and YES, I can read... I obtained all of the dependant modules.... Fine. Put them all in the /bin/something directory. Start Zope in debug mode. Get: ERROR: Cannot find Image module... Hmm... I thought I covered that. Okay, maybe it cant find it... Lets try moving it to the /lib/python/products directory... ERROR: Cannot find PIL.Image module Grrr.... Fine... At least the error message is different... Progress by Old Bell's standard. Lets check it out.. Um.... /lib/python/Products/PIL/Image.py.... Duh... can the compiler read or has the third bottle of wine FUBAR'd me? Guess its time to goto bed. Perhaps while Im sleeping in the rainy Netherlands, some of my hardowrking American compatriots still at their desks can tell me how stupid I am that I missed one small factor like 'the documentation doesnt account that you are on 2.3.0 Zope and you need to do.....' KONK! ZzzzZZZzzzzzzz, Paz

changing object properties
by Ruberl Michele 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hi all, I created my first ZClass: ok Now I'd like to create a method for editing my class instances' properties, just for not using propertysheets/MyProperties/manage which is not the nicest to see. Ok, I created a DTML method with the front-end which calls a Script (Python) which should actually update the properties' values. I tried two ways of writing such a script: 1. context._updateProperty(name_property, value_from_form) It gives me an "IOError" while saving script changes (I suppose because it is an internal python method, it would works only if external, am I right?) 2. context.name_property=value_from_form It gives me an "Error Type: TypeError - Error Value: attribute-less object (assign or del)" when executed Now, probably it is a stupid Python question.. could you help me anyway? (I'd prefer to stay with just internal ppython methods) Thanks a lot Michele

Problem refreshing a python product
by Farrell, Troy 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

I'm back :) I'm having a problem with Zope not refreshing my python products. I have a broken product that I'm writing and I can't convince zope to refresh and reread the product code. I've tried restarting, shutting down and starting again, and the Refresh product. I've deleted .pyc files and it still shows the same traceback. The traceback still shows a line of code that I've removed from the product. At this point, I'll try almost anything. TIA, Troy

RE: [Zope] Question about python binary with zope install
by Andy Gimblett 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

If (like me) you _want_ Zope to use an already-installed Python, you'll need to install from Zope source. I chose to do this to get the MySQL DA working, since I already had that mysqldb module installed in Python. :-) Cheers, -Andy -- Andy Gimblett <andy.gimblett(a)ftech.net> Programmer Frontier Internet Services Limited <www.frontier-internet.ltd.uk> Tel: 029 20 820 044 Fax: 029 20 820 035 Statements made are at all times subject to Frontier's Terms and Conditions of Business, which are available upon request.

[DC]Updating DTML and HTML in Products
by Farrell, Troy 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hey Guys: I am using the Tracker (from CVS) and I noted the high content of DTML in the older format:  and some HTML that *could* be updated to XHTML. I have been tweaking my Tracker ZClass and I want to know if DC is interested in files that *only* have DTML updated to the new format (no site specific changes) or updated HTML. Troy

Doing something to all objects of a given Meta Type
by Chris Withers 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hi, I ended up doing this today and thought others might find it useful: Say you want to do something to all objects of a given metatype, like update them for example, you can do this in a Python Script (I used an External Method, but they should be the same): stuff = context.ZopeFind(self,obj_metatypes=['Squishdot Site']) Stuff is now a list of tuples. Each tuple is of the form (object_id,actual_object) If this is useful to enough people, I'll stick it in a how-to cheers, Chris

addUser
by Paz 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hi all, I've been surfing around the .py's trying to find a way to add a user via dtml... Am I barking up a non-existant tree? I see alot of _addUser, doAddUser, manage_users.addUser, but nothing seems to work. Is there a method I can call? Thanks for input as always, I hold my wine glass up to you... Paz

I just found that the NISUserFolder at: http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/NISUserFolder/ appears to install and work. What is the difference between the two. ?

dtml-tree recursion
by nuno 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hi there ! I trying to work with dtml-tree tag to show my site contents. I have a dtml-method that does that. Still, the calling Dtml Document passes to the method that shows the tree, a variable (kind of a parameter) that i need to access in the method. All goes OK : ) both the tree and the variable are displayed ! The problem is when i click the +/- icon Zope gives me an error that couldn't access the variable passed as argument. I think that it might be a problem with recursion of the tree. does anyone have an ideia how to solve this recursion problem ? thanks in advance and best regards, Nuno
