Creating files on server
by Gitte Wange 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hello, I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I am about to create some SMIL-files on my RealServer. We are using Zope as an interface to our Media Portal. We have a database with all attributes in needed to create a SMIL file. Now I would like to - when a submit button is hitted - that a DTML method is called. This method should create a new file with some specifik data in. Now how do I do this ? I have installed the LocalFS but I can't see how this products writes files, except that it uploads them. I don't need to display an upload form - just write a file directly. Regards, Gitte

structured text on win32
by zope-mailinglist 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

hi everybody i'm new to structured text so ... my zope runs on win32, i dont know if this matters if i write a text with a normal linefeed (this differs to unix linefeeds) there is now <br> tag in the resulting page rendered with structured text also a paragraph is only created if i type 2 linefeeds this is too a problem with lists if i write """ * item1 * item2 """ the second item is not a list item its printet like the source then i tried """ * item1 * item2 """ now i get 2 list items but each list item is rendered with a <p> tag around is this the normal behaviour of structured text ?? it tried already newline_to_br , but it seems that this is applied after the structured text is applied so there are a lot of <br>s afterwords thanks in advance

IMHO suggesting that the archive link is misplaced is silly. Consider the newbies posting questions to the list which they can find answers for easily by doing a search on zope.org. Would you say the Search field is too hard to find and needs to be moved? (Tim - don't be offended, this is not directed at you).

Re: [Zope-dev] how can I fill to frames in on dtml-call ??
by Tino Wildenhain 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hi Robert, this is not zope-dev related so I move it over to zope-list. However, filling two frames the same time is a faq. If you really need frames, you can update all at the same time if you have the target of links and forms to _top and send the frameset again. Alternatively you can break up your frameset into smaller parts, e.g. use a frameset which devides top and bottom and then another to devide the bottom frame into navigation and content. This way you only have to address the bottom-frameset to make the changes. window-target: - Header did never work so far as I tested years ago. HTH Tino Wildenhain --On Donnerstag, 26.

Question about logins?
by Steven Grimes 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

I have a situation where I need to be able to programmatically add users to the ACL_Users on three different Zope machines running three different apps. I don't think Zeo will work for this because they all run different apps. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here) Specifically what I'm trying to do is write a management interface on one of the Zope machines that will add permissions in certain databases(got this part working) and to add the user to ACL_USERS on the three different Zope machines. I have successfully written code to add a user to the current machine. What I need is a anyway to access the acl_users.manage_users() method on a different Zope machine. I've been reading the email archive for hours now and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
