DTML error...
by Hostway Generic 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

First of all, I can't stand how Zope acutally runs inputted dtml through its parser to check for errors or whatever, when you 'Save changes' on a website... and then looses the changes...sigh. :) I'm having a problem with the following script, it gives me an error when I save, that its missing a closing <dtml-sendmail> tag. -------- start --------- <table width="100%" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td width="150" valign="top"><dtml-var standard_menubar></td> <td align="middle" valign="top"> <dtml-try> <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> To: <dtml-if expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() != 'Anonymous User'"> <dtml-var Message_To> <dtml-else> metatron(a)myseraph.org </dtml-if> From: <dtml-var expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> (mySeraph.org User) Subject: <dtml-var Message_Subject> You have been sent a message from the mySeraph.org website. The message is from: <dtml-var expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> Please note that you can not respond to this message in email. <dtml-if expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() != 'Anonymous User'> You may reply to the sender by entering a message into the following site: http://www.mySeraph.org/Contact/?Message_To=<dtml-var expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> Message as follows: ---------------------------------------------------- <dtml-var Message_Text> ---------------------------------------------------- Message end. </dtml-sendmail> <dtml-except> <h2>Ack! An error has occured in the processing of your mail!</h2> Information: <code> <br> <dtml-var error_type> <br> <dtml-var error_value> <br> <dtml-var error_tb> </code> <dtml-else> <P> </P><IMG alt="" border="2" height="237" src="MessageSent.jpg" width="350"> <P> <IMG align=baseline alt ="" border=0 height=128 src="CongratsSmiley.jpg" width=400 > </P> <P>Your message has been sent.</P> </dtml-try> </td> </tr> </table> ------- end -------- What am I doing wrong?

Images and dtml-var?
by Chris Muldrow 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

OK, hopefully a simple question: I have an image object called BlueDot. We're running Zope behind Apache proxy pass. What takes more system resources to display the image, <dtml-var BlueDot> or <img src="BlueDot>? Or is it the same? Thanks! - Chris -- Chris Muldrow, muldrow(a)mac.com

Format problem in Squishdot 1.0.0
by F. Zorge 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hi, I am using Squishdot 1.0.0. I have translated all of the content to Dutch, and I have two questions/problems: 1. I want the data format to be European like 31-12-2001 in stead of 12-31-2001.But it seems not possible to format the standard variable <dtml-var date_created> in European style. I tried <dtml-var date_created frm="%d/%m/%Y"> and several other compositions but I keep getting error messages, like "not alle converted" or key-error. Does anyone know how to format this Squishdot date? 2. When a message has been posted the user gets a message in English (You article has been posted). I like to translate this message to, but I don't know where to find it. Thanks Frank

Re: Zope digest, Vol 1 #1305 - 49 msgs

There is no method to get the users' password by default for security reasons. If you do need to get it, you can do so with wither an External method or a base-class method. The basic syntax is: user = self.acl_users.getUser(user_id) password = user.__ It's stored that way because things beginning with an underscore can't be accessed directly from DTML. If you DO have a method such as this one, be careful to require that the user calling it is the one whose password is requested. zope-request(a)zope.org said: > Thanks but this did not work either - is GetPassword a built in Zope method > or one that your have created yourself?? > > >> From: Daniel Rusch <drusch(a)globalcrossing.com> >> To: Samantha Stansbie <s_stansbie(a)hotmail.com> >> CC: zope(a)zope.org >> Subject: Re: [Zope] ---> CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??

Cascading Style Sheets in Netscape 6
by Craig Stoddart 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

I have been using CSS in both IE5 and Netscape 4.75 without any problems at all, however parts of the CSS do not work in Netscape 6. This part of my CSS still works: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('site_fonts', 'Comic Sans MS')"> However, variables that I have set myself do not work in Netscape 6, such as: .OAAmenuhead { background-color: blue; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Comic Sans MS; } The above works perfectly in both Netscape 4.75 and IE5 though. Is there some piece of code that needs to be changed for it to work in Netscape 6? Has anyone else encountered this problem? ------------------------------------------------- Craig Stoddart IT Software Development Officer Dundee City Council IT Division Northern College Technical Block Gardyne Road Dundee DD5 1NY Phone: 01382 438170 Fax: 01382 438002 E-mail: craig.stoddart(a)dundeecity.gov.uk -------------------------------------------------
