delete HTML Tags out of a form input
by Stefan Mallepell 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hi I would like to delete HTML tags which may have been entred in to a form, before I store the value into a ZClass Instance .. My Idea was just to replace the '<' '>' characters with something less dangerous .. My code is: <dtml-let transtab="_.string.maketrans('><','**')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Message',_.string.translate(Message,transtab,'><'))"> </dtml-let> The problem is now, that it deletes the >< but it don't replace them with the * ... what is it, what am I doing wrong? Thanks for help Regards Stefan Mallepell

Re: [Zope] [newbie] Property with <dtml-var> in it's value
by Stefan Mallepell 20 Apr '01

Hi Dieter Thank you for your answer. I think I haven't explained my problem so clear - sorry. Let's say "A" is the object-instance with a property "l" which contains 'http://www.externalserver.org' and the id 'externalserver' "B" is another object-instance with a property "c" which contains 'This is text with some links. The links to the *externalserver* can be in the middle of the text.' In my index_html I show "c" an would like to generate a proper "a href" around *externalserver* ... And it looks like the problem is that properties don't get rendered after they have been inserted with dtml-var ... Is it the problem, that I don't see the forrest cause of to many trees - or is it really a problem?

__basicnew__ errors
by seb bacon 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Whenever I try to import an object from one Zope (2.3.0) to another (2.3.1) I get a Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: __basicnew__ and the top of the stack is one of those indecipherable pickled things, which I have no idea how to read or how they might be useful, i.e. -- File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 166, in __getitem__ (Info: ('\000\000\000\000\000\0001\030', '((U\036Pro <lots of junk snipped> 0tr\211\001\000\000Qu.')) AttributeError: (see above) I also get this error when I try to fire up the 2.3.1 with a copy of the Data.fs from 2.3.0. Why might this be? Can anyone shed any light onto what __basicnew__ does? And has anyone any pointers to understanding these pickled traceback things? Whenever they occur, I find it's usually due to inconsistencies between the pickled product-related info and the products loaded from the filesystem, but I don't know how to go about debugging it.

GoLive and WebDAV?
by Chris Withers 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hi, I'm making my initial wanderings into using Adbove GoLive 5.0 to edit content in Zope and it's thrown up a few questions: 1. How do I persuade GoLive that it really can edit existing DTML Methods, etc that don't have names ending in .html? It seems that Zope very rarely sets an explicit content type on the WedDAV source port and so GoLive will only let you download the file... 2. How do I get GoLive to tell Zope to create the right kind of object? For example, I want to create file object with some lumps of text, python scripts with others, DTML methods with some and DTML documents with yet more? Has anyone tried ZPT over WebDAV yet? 3. [OT] How do I set up a Zope server as a 'Site' so that site menu has something not greyed out on it?! cheers, Chris

Re: Re: page templates!?
by Arian de Wit 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hi all, I had this same problem (ZPT wasn't processing things) using the example and had made a (presumably) silly mistake -- I had created the two objects in the example as DTML Document or DTML Method objects. Once I surmised that there was a new object available in the Add... list (Page Template) and used that for both objects, it worked (sort of). Problem I have now is that it gives a KeyError in response to "here/Title": exceptions.KeyError on Title in "<PathExpr standard:here/Title>" (BTW, the < and > should be html-quoted -- the browser displays just: exceptions.KeyError on Title in "" which is less useful and required me to look at the source -- not a great hardship, but still...) Both objects have a Title defined, so what might be causing this? And does "here" mean the master macro template (standard_lf.html in the example), or the "client" template (welcome.html)? Since they both have titles I figured trying it would let me know, but it's not working, so I have to ask. :-) Excuse me if I'm being thick -- entirely possible, I admit.

Re: [Zope] UPDATE: Problems calling directory

Root +- Portal (CMF Site) | +- Members (Folder) | | +- aem (Folder) | | +- ArticleX (CMF Article) | +- Publications (Folder) | | +- Review (Folder) | | | +- Vol22 (Folder) As you can see I working on a CMF site the is giving me headaches. ArticleX is a customized content that has a 'location' property with the directory where it should show up (ie. 'Publications/Review/Vol22'). In the standard_html_header I call a dtml method (breadcrumbs) where I want to get the fake PARENTS (the lineage of where it should show). Here follows some of the code I was working on: <dtml-if location> <p>Location: &dtml-location; <dtml-let transtab="_.string.maketrans('/', '.')" location2="'Portal.'+_.string.translate(location, transtab)"> <p>Location2: &dtml-location2; <p>Works:</p> <dtml-with "Portal.Publications.Review.Vol22"> <p>This is the <dtml-var document_id> Document in the <dtml-var title_and_id> Folder.</p> </dtml-with> <p>Does not:</p> <dtml-with "_.getitem(_.getitem('location2'))"> <p>This is the <dtml-var document_id> Document in the <dtml-var title_and_id> Folder.</p> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> I don't know if there is something in the CMF that breaks the logic and I will try that tomorrow. If you see anything that I can try, please let me know.

Re: CoreSessionTracking
by Chris McDonough 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hi Uwe, If possible, continue to cc the Zope list on this... thanks... You can explicitly cause a transaction to be committed, but not in DTML or in a Python Script. You'll need to use an external method... Here's an example of an function which does this: def commit_trans(): get_transaction().commit() Make an external method named commit_trans, reference this function from within the external method UI, and then from dtml, you can do this: <dtml-call commit_trans> ... right before the raise. This should save the session data, then it won't matter if you raise afterwards in the DTML. HTH, - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Uwe C.

No I don't think that there's another way to do handle loginmanager. Loginmanager gets called on an authorization exception. The LoginForm isn't called directly, but gets called on any object a user tries to view without proper authentication. I don't know much about ZODB transactions, but probably you know if there's a way to finish the old transaction and start a new one ? Thanks - I'll try to remove the raise. Regards Uwe C.

html version of zope site
by Mike Blake 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hi! First of all: We have a client that (because of lame internal policy) will not be able to install zope on the final server. However, they _do_ want zope as a publishing solution for a web that will be practically nothing but dtml docs, images, and folders. They're only intested in accessing the web interface to modify text in custom zclass product interfaces we will make for them. Provided that there are no complicated methods integrated into the zope structure, is it possible to generate a navegable static html version of a zope hierarchy? Our idea is to let them access our server to manage and edit content and to give them a publish option (written in python or perl) that generates the html and ftps the site to a remote, non-zope webserver. The day that the client wants a more dynamic site with searching and such, we would discuss installing zope again on the remote server. Please give me your thoughts on this workaround solution. thanks, -- [morcilla(a)ketden.com chikoon]$ whoami Mike Blake
