Continuing Woe with Win98 (but Zope V1.10.3 works!)
by Paul Browning 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

A while back I reported a problem with Zope under Win98. The symptoms are that everything looks OK in the MS-DOS command window but that when you try and browse to http://localhost:8080 then nothing happens. A number of people made useful suggestions including making sure the was an entry in the Windoze LMHOSTS file but to no avail. As Zope did _once_ work on this particular PC I went back to Zope 2.1.6 as I had a hunch that this was version I had originally tried (the problems on started when I upgraded to a later version). However, no luck. Then, just for the hell of it, I installed Zope 1.10.3. IT WORKS (over port 9673)! Zope V1 isn't alot of use to me, but I thought I'd report my findings in case it causes any flashes of deduction amongst Windows gurus out there which might lead to a resolution of the problem. For the record, the M$ Personal Web Server (or whatever it's called), works just fine - browsing to http://localhost does what you'd expect. Cheers.

Why SELECT * from query where field like "100*"; doesn't work in Z SQL Method? It works in Access. Mariusz

calling a method
by Ulrike Ainser 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

Hello eveybody, maybe someone on this maillinglist can help me?! I have got a method 'attribute_index' in the folder 'attribute' of the path '/sap_root/leaves/attributes' defined, that displays a tree as it is given in the Quick Start Tutorial of Zope . I'd like to call this method out of the DTML file 'index_html' in the folder 'attribute' of the path '/sap_root/documentation/attribute'. How can I do that? I already tried: ***index_html*** <html> <dtml-var "sap_root.leaves.merkmale.merkmale_index()"> </html> and <html> <dtml-var sap_root.leaves.merkmale.merkmale_index> </html> ****** what did I do wrong? Uli e im Folder 'merkmale' des Pfades '/sap_root/leaves/merkmale' eine Methode 'merkmale_index' definiert, die mir nach dem Vorbild der QickStart-Anleitung einen Baum generiert. Diese Methode (merkmale_index) will ich aus der DTML-Datei 'index_html' im Ordner 'merkmal' des Pfades '/sap_root/documentation/merkmal' aufrufen. Wie kann ich das tun?

RE: [Zope] Passing a list through a url
by Menard.Jean-Francois＠hydro.qc.ca 18 Apr '01

You can pass each item in the Querystring like (untested): <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('redirectURL', 'Destination?')"> <dtml-in myListe> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('redirectURL', redirectURL + "myList=" + _['sequence-item'] + '&')"> </dtml-in> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(redirectURL)"> Hope this help!

Is there anyway to do it? I receive a list from a DTML document and I need to pass it again to a method. I have verified that the intermediate document receives a list but when the last method retrieves it the type is string. I can cast it to be a list by : <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('Destination?myList:list'+`myList`)"> but <dtml-var mylist> renders ["[x]"] where I have a list containing a string. Any ideas?

How to obtain an instance of a subobject ?
by kal lee 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

Hi, I m totally new to Zope, and would be grateful for some answers. I have created a new product with the following structure : ProductX ZClass Y ZClass Z I have successfully added an instance of the ProductX, so I have ProductX at Tests. Now I wanted to add an object of Y in my Tests, how do I do it ? I thought that I should be able to add it by using the "add" button, but I don't see Y or Z in the list of stuff that i can add ?! I saw something in the mails about a tab for adding subobjects to the list, but i couldn't locate it. Thanks in advance for help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello, did anybody succeed to run gvIB v. 0.96 an win2k yet? In runs well for me on win98, but I didn't get it going with win2k. >From the python command line everything works well, but if I try to connect to the database from zope I get the message "Invalid connection string". I tried to debug the python code, and the system creates this exception when calling the gvibBase.dll. I did try: - Zope 2.30 - Zope 2.31 - Interbase 6.01 on Win2k with servicepack. Thanks in advance. Best regards: Uwe Fechner ufechner(a)4commerce.de

laction-bar with absolute url's
by Tapio Hüffner 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

hello ng, I want to implement a location bar on my webpage like zope has implemented (not at the webpage but at application). It should look like: root / folder / subfolder / ... and you should be able to navigate with this location-bar, so that "folder" is a link to root/folder and "subfolder" is a link to root/folder/subfolder. And then "folder should not be a link to root/folder/subfolder/folder just because of acqusition. The sructure of my webpage is a folder system, so that naerly every site is a folder. My resolution for this problem is: <dtml-in getPhysicalPath> <a href="&dtml-sequence-item"> <dtml-var sequence-item></a> / </dtml-in> This works good, but I have of course a problem with the acquisition. The links are only relative and it could look like root/folder/subfolder/folder/folder/folder/... in the location-bar of my browser when you click on folder a few times. The "folder"-page is shown correctly because of the acquisition, but I don't want this strange path-behaviour in my browser. For that I want to create absolute links to "folder" or "subfolder". The links should be absolute links to the folders URL, separeted by /. Can somenone explain to me how I could implement this? Thank you very much, Tapio
