Has there been any work on a rich-gui editor and one that is more integrated with a HTML/XML/XHTML editor outside of just using WEBDAV with Dreamweaver or something. Something where its almost like your in the same IDE to do everything - build objects in Zope, edit web content, build html files etc.??? David Kovach dave(a)kovach.com Jon >> Has anyone else played with Boa Constructor - http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/ ? It's open-source, written in Python, and already has some built-in Zope-specific editing facilities (it's a Python IDE and wxPython builder). Also does some basic HTML editing functions. Seems like it has a lot of potential, specially if more Zopistas contributed their ideas? Maybe it could be combined with some of the XML-RPC editing ideas (such as http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/01/xmlrpc/index.html )? Just a newbie's two-pennorth! :-) Cheers, Jon

[ANN] ZShell 0.4 devel
by Jerome Alet 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi, for those of you who might be interested I've put a 0.4 developpment version of ZShell 0.4 online at: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ This is largely untested however, and is only for people who want to Zope (!) on the bleeding edge. It features a better look, some bug fixes, and a separation of the pseudo I/O channels stdin, stdout and stderr from the HTML output itself. It doesn't feature any new interesting command compared to 0.3 however, nor it does any security assertion, yet ! Please report any bug or comment to me, thanks in advance.

Passing variable to a python script
by Mehmet Yousouf 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi, I'm trying out python scripts and can't get the variables posted from a form accross. I'm calling the script from a dtml method via <dtml-var python-script-name> but keep getting "unknown variable" as the error .. it's a simple script that adds two numbers together (x = first_number + second_number) and first_number, second_number are from the form. The show answer method can display both variables (<dtml-var first_number>) I'm using python 2 (compiled zope from source) is this the problem? if it is, can I run python 2 with pyton 1.52? Regards, Mehmet

Re: [Zope] Sorting mod.time with dtml-in?

bak (kedai) writes: > > > > Assuming version 2.3, try: > > > > <dtml-in expr="subdir.objectValues()" > > sort_expr="bobo_modification_time()"> > > > > since it is a method. Do not believe this! The value of the "sort" attribute is a comma separated sequence of field names. A field name is either the name of a member or a parameterless function/method (maybe acquired). The sequence is lexicographically sorted with respect to the values of these fields. Thus, you have "sort=bobobase_modification_time". > what's the difference between using sort and sort_expr? the sort=something > has been there since forever :) and i have been using it in my codes. is it > something bad? "sort_expr" is nothing bad. With "sort" your sort specification is constant. You can say, sort first according to "time" then to "id". But you cannot say, sort according to the field name currently held in variable "sort_by". This is necessary for such nice "sort" features found wide spread: click on a column head and the content is sorted with respect to this column... You would use "sort_expr=sort_by" for this. The value of "sort_expr" must evaluate to a sort specification. The specification is interpreted in the same way as when given directly to sort. But it can be computed, it no longer is constant...

Problem migrating a producto to Zope 2.3
by Jorge Ferrer 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi all, I've developed a product for an Intranet using Zope 2.1 and I'm trying to migrate to Zope 2.3. Almost everything han gone fine as I haven't used any advanced feature, but I have some problems with the ZClasses which inherit from OFS:File. BTW, the product consists on a container ZClass and several other ZClasses which represent different types of documents. Here is what I've done: I installed Zope 2.3.1 on a new machine and installed my product through a distribution file placed on the products directory. When I make an instance of the Container ZClass everything goes well and I can even make instances of some of the other ZClasses. But everytime I try to make an instance of a ZClass which holds a file (by inheriting from OFS:File) I get the following error: =========================== Error Type: TypeError Error Value: unsliceable object Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: HtmlDocumentCreationPage) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: HtmlDocumentCreationPage) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 189, in __call__ (Object: HtmlDocumentCreationPage) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 538, in __call__ (Object: HtmlDocumentCreationPage) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 133, in render (Object: HtmlDocument.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)) File /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 334, in eval (Object: HtmlDocument.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)) (Info: HtmlDocument) File <string>, line 0, in ?

How could I solve it? Any help will be greatly appreciated :-) Jorge
