Calling Objects
by Jason C. Leach 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

hi, I have x.html Folder Object (in Folder) from x.html, I would like to <dtml-var Object>, but I don't know how to access the folder Obj first to get at it's internal objects. Folder.Object and PARENTS[0].Folder.Object don't seem to work. A tip or direction to a HOWTO would be appreciated. Thanks, j. ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ..

Re: [Zope] Mass update of a ZClass property?

Just go to the "Find" tab of the folder where the instances of your zclasses are and go to advanced search. Select your zclass type for search and put manage_editProperties(Category=['Music','CD','Book']) into "expr:". Zope will find nothing, but the instances' properties are updated after that. cheers, oliver

SiteRule
by Paul Zwarts 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Greetings, 1) How can I use SiteRules to redirect a page access? Scenario /download SiteRule LocalFSObject getInfo - DMTL doc A user goes to LocalFSObject and the SiteRule will check REQUEST for something, if it is present it will allow access of LocalFSOBject otherwise send the user to getInfo.... Is this possible and is there a URL to some example code? 2) It seems to me that SiteRules are some magic outside of influencing the page that was actually called in the SiteRule's folder. For instance, text is not returned to the page (which is expected as a pre-process rule), but much to my chagrin I cannot set Session variables, which would be a totally logical place to do so. Why is this? Thanks very much, Paz

Migrate from Yihaw to CMF?
by Dunigan, Craig 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

When my zope site was first conceived, the guy who put it together used Yihaw. Not that I'm knocking Yihaw, but it's beginning to look like CMF might be a better choice for us. Can anyone give me a rough comparison of the two products, in terms of features and functionality, which would be better for what use, and so on? And if I do decide to switch, does anyone have any experience migrating from one to the other? Thanks.
