If this is so bad, good indication you need a worthy cause in your life. Let me suggest the fight against prohibition, the amerikan gulag. Surveys are valid, proven method of gathering information. In a growing open source community it is an obvious tool.

DateTime and mxDateTime confusion
by Alex 18 May '01

18 May '01

I've got some big confusion about DateTime objects on zope: in short: - zope has a built-in object called DateTime available in 'script (python)' - python has a 3rd party module mxDateTime which is called the same: "DateTime" question is: why did zope developers choose an existing name for that ?! a more detailed description: I was trying PsycopgDA (postgresql database adaptor) which converts sql timestamp fields to DateTime objects and I wanted the floating point number in UTC of it, so I called it's method timeTime() , but that method didn't exist. I wanted to be sure the object I was using was really a DateTime object so I've tried type(myObject) and it did return "DateTime" (note: type is an external method which returns the python's function type()). I created a DateTime object doing x = DateTime() and when I call x.timeTime() it worked, so I've tried type(x) and it also return "DateTime". Both objects were "DateTime" objects, but one was a zope built-in object called DateTime and the other was the python's 3rd party module mxDateTime also called "DateTime" Using the same object type name on different object types is not what I call a very intuitive idea. Why did zope go that way? any comments? thanks for your [Date] Time =) Alex Verstraeten

Heh - I did the exact same thing (filled it in, thinking "Cool, they're asking me good stuff"). In retrospect, a post to the mailing lists, and a URL on zope.org would have been more appropriate.

Zope problems with IE5
by Jon Edwards 18 May '01

18 May '01

Lots of people seem to have recently reported a problem with IE5 and the ZMI, where whatever you click on in the lefthand frame, it gives you the "View" version of the object in the righthand frame. Well I'd never had that problem, but today I did, so here's what caused it... might be unique to me, but might be what has caused the problem for a few people? Check under Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab - mine usually has "Never dial a connection" selected. For some reason IE had gone and set itself to "Always dial my default connection"! once I set it back to "Never dial..." the ZMI worked fine again! It could be that when people have been told to update IE, it has reset this option, and that's why updating has worked?? Hope that helps someone! :-) Cheers, Jon

New LoginMethod for LoginManager
by Michal Bukovjan 18 May '01

18 May '01

Hello, we need to write a custom LoginMethod for LoginManager (0.8.8b1). From the list I read it is quite simple, but we do not know where to start: - do we have to write a Python Product based on PlugIn? - is it possible to create a folder-like object directly in Zope and create a set of methods inside that implement the API? - maybe a ZClass? In LoginManager, there is a HOWTO promised for about a year, but still nothing. Basically, we would like to avoid going into the Python and write a product. Any hints? Thanks, Michal Bukovjan

Re: [Zope] Z SQL method results from a python script

I need the >entire result set. My eurocents: return stops the current script and returns immediately. The for loop loops over all records. Att the first record it sees a return and the script stops. I am not a python expert and i didn't test it, but may be you could try something like this: To make it work you need to change your SQL method, returning only the columns you need. To be honest i couldn't make i working the way you want it. I would say this should work (but it wasn't): newresults=[] for object in context.employ_data(month=month, year=year): result=[object.sum_hour, object.sum_total, object.division] newresults.append(result) return newresults That was the best i have for you, sorry Met vriendelijke groeten, Hans de Wit Stichting Farmaceutische Kengetallen Postbus 30460 2500 GL DEN HAAG Tel. 070-3737448 Fax 070-3737445 daniel.a.fulton@delp hiauto.com To: zope(a)zope.org Sent by: cc: zope-admin(a)zope.org Fax to: Subject: [Zope] Z SQL method results from a python script 05/18/01 02:44 AM I have a Z SQL method named "employ_data" as below: SELECT SUM(employ_hour) AS sum_hour, SUM(employ_salary+employ_hour) AS sum_total, division WHERE employ_record.month=<dtml-sqlvar month type=string> AND employ_record.year=<dtml-sqlvar year type=int> GROUP BY division This method has been tested and returns multiple rows in the result set correctly with input for month, year.

A corker
by Bruce Eckel 18 May '01

18 May '01

OK, I've figured this much out so far. I've created one DTML document for each registration. I'm using acquisition to pass that document to a DTML method that displays the document. The URL looks like: ".../Yourfullname3b01efcd/DisplayFullRegInfo" where Yourfullname3b01efcd is the document name, and DisplayFullRegInfo is the DTML method. Now I want to get the information in the document (which is a python dictionary in text form) and use eval() (which I've put in an external method) to parse it back into a python dictionary. To get the data in the document, it turns out all I have to do is say "PARENTS[0]". Now the fun starts. This is in DisplayFullRegInfo: <dtml-let data="PARENTS[0]"> <dtml-var data><hr> <dtml-var expr="parseSeminarRegistration(data)"> </dtml-let> I keep getting weird error messages for parseSeminarRegistration(), which worked in a different DTML method just fine. The messages complain about the argument, so I decide to examine the argument type. Here's the external method, parseSeminarRegistration(): import types def parseSeminarRegistration(code): return 'your type is: ' + str(type(code)) #return eval(code) Normally I just use eval(), but this should indicate the type. Here's the output: ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- {'homephone': 'Your home phone (for emergencies)', 'email': 'Your email address', 'admin_email': 'Their email address', 'price_dates': '(("2001-5-15", 1700), ("2001-7-4", 1800))', 'semnumber': '1', 'busphone': 'Your business phone number', 'admin_contact': "Person we should contact about payment, if it's not you", 'admin_phone': 'Their phone number', 'bill_to': 'Person or company paying for the seminar', 'payment_date': '', 'admin_fax': 'Their fax number', 'country': 'USA or your country', 'state': 'State or province', 'required_forms': '(("Limited Liability Form", "N", "http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/regFormParts/LimitedLiabil ity"), ("Activity Release Form", "N", "http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/regFormParts/ActivityRelea seForm.html"))', 'name': 'Your full name', 'zip': 'Zip or postal code', 'city': 'City', 'invoice_number': '', 'current_price': '', 'seminar_id': 'Design-A-Day Patterns Practicum July 30-August 3 ', 'paid': 'N', 'purchase_order_id': '', 'registration_date': '2001/05/15 20:11:07.26156 GMT-7', 'completed': 'N', 'address1': 'Street address', 'address2': 'Second address line, if needed', 'fax': 'Your fax number, if you have one'} ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- your type is: The external method is clearly called, but it simply gives a blank. No 'None', even, as if *no* argument is being passed (which I didn't think was possible). I'm clearly missing something here.
