newbie question about aquisition
by Tomas Mortensen 05 May '01

05 May '01

hi, consider the folowing scenario: an index_html dtml document is located in the root folder. this document includes another dtml document, includefile, with the dtml-var tag. /index_html /includefile /myfolder/includefile /myfolder/mysubfolder/ if i access the URL http://myhost/myfolder/mysubfolder, i get the index_html file from the root folder, by aquisition. the problem is that the included dtml file _also_ comes from the root. what i want is that the includefile in myfolder will override the one in the root folder. is this posible? -Tomas

Also, Another way to think of this is using ZOPE as an integration layer between many different enterprise applications via the web. Its great at Content Management (a Portal of sorts) and other intended uses - seems like its functionality could be geared around the above too. You then have total control of an enterprises web-offerings to public, employees, vendors all in one place too. Thoughts?

Sorry, that's what I meant.

Don't know anything about iPlanet, but I think this would be pretty straightforward with Zope. NPS does a lot more however, it allows the administrator to customize what the user can see/select. There's a hierarchy of settings/authority/views etc that is tightly integrated with NDS (eDirectory). You could model this on LDAP. > what does your gadget for NPS interface with? or is it a generic interface > to anything? It's a daily fortune, like the Unix fortune program.

getPropertyType
by Tim Hicks 05 May '01

05 May '01

I have a zclass that has a property sheet called 'details' and I am trying to create a form for editing this that goes through the property sheet (using dtml-in) and creates the correct input box. Everything works, except the getPropertyType part, which always returns 'None'. The ZQR says that it will do this when the property doesn't exist, but the property clearly does exist as propertyIds() finds it, a getProperty() does actually return the value of the property. I just want to see what sort of property it is so that I can present the correct type of input box. Here's the code snippet. <dtml-in "propertysheets.details.propertyIds()"> <dtml-let pid="_['sequence-item']"> <tr> <th align="left"><dtml-var pid></th> <td><dtml-if "propertysheets.details.getPropertyType(pid) == 'text'"><textarea name="<dtml-var pid>"><dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getProperty(pid)"></textarea><dtml-else><input type=text name="<dtml-var pid>" value="<dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getProperty(pid)">"></dtml-if></td> <td><dtml-var "propertysheets.details.getPropertyType(pid)"></td> </tr> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> And here is a sample of what it generates. <tr> <th align="left">name</th> <td><input type=text name="name" value="Tim Hicks"></td> <td>None</td> </tr> <tr> <th align="left">email</th> <td><input type=text name="email" value="tim(a)sitefusion.co.uk"></td> <td>None</td> </tr> Any ideas? tim

Hi Brad - Thats exactly what I am speaking of - I havent read on Novell's work, but so many players are entering the mini-application and gadget arena in terms of portals.. its either gonna be a really big thing or something that goes bust in the conceptual stage first. Need to build these "gadgets" in Python/xml and open up the Zope system to interface with any system on the planet... to view/process/edit/manipulate its data...

Steve - Please go back and read other messages in this thread. As, CMF is not the same thing as I am talking about. I am talking about having CONNECTORS into different enterprise applications that then use ZOPE to handle security, state, other informational content etc. As far as I can see... CMF is very content-portal driven... Its original name Portal Toolkit was more appropriate for what I am talking about - obviously thats why its now called CMF (?!?). The CONNECTORS create a "user cockpit" of mini-applications to do specific tasks from one interface rather than having 4 or 5 applications open at the same time - creates a more productive enterprise work environment thats focused on what the users need to get done. It isnt about managing NEWS content (though, portals of today take in any content/application data)... so, they steal alot of the premise behind a corporate intranet too. Of course, this discertation is way off my point which was to discuss ZOPE as an application server with extensions that provide data connection into different corporate applications...
