Please see Ken's recent post to the CMF list in re CMFWiki: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2001-June/007424.html The gist is: we are making it available via CVS, but it isn't "supported".

You can get to the real folder with PARENTS[1], e.g.:: <h3> Siblings: </h3> <dtml-with expr="PARENTS[1]"> <dtml-in objectIds> <dtml-if sequence-start> <ul> </dtml-if> <li> <a href="&dtml-sequence-item;">&dtml-sequence-item;</a> </li> <dtml-if sequence-end> </ul> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> Hope that helps.

It's not so much a Users Group as an egroups account. No plans, no members yet, but it just seemed like a good idea in a conversation I was having today. Join and contribute and let's see if anything comes of it :-) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zuguk seb

Getting info about a newly created object
by Philippe Jadin 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

[newbie with a lot of questions - thanks] Hello, On a site I want to allow users to add files. I created a simple form that has <input type="file"> on it. This form calls a python script with : context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(file) This doesn't work : it needs two arguments instead of one. It works when I give an id. What I'd like is to have the id generated based on the given filename. This is how the file product works. How can I "generate" this id ? After this, how can I redirect the user to another form that would let him add some metadata to his file? I need to know the id of the object I just created (does manage_addFile() return something?), and append something like /MyEditForm to the url to be redirected. How can I do this in the python script? Another question : what would be the best option to choose wether to create an image or a file object? Based on content type submited by the browser, or file extensions? I feel a bit like reinventing the wheel, but I guess it's the only way to give the user customized management screens (or did I miss something?). Anyway thanks in advance ! Philippe Jadin

VirtualHostMonster
by Ricardo Newbery 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

I've read several different variations on how to set up an Apache/Zope virtual host and I'm still unsure about the advantages and disadvantages of each solution. Setting up VirtualHostMonster and an Apache ProxyPass or RewriteRule appears to be the latest (and greatest?) method. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of a ProxyPass vs. a RewriteRule? ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/hostname:80/ or RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/hostname:80/$1 [P,L] Ricardo Newbery newbery(a)dvgroup.com

Zwiki newbie Trying to build a Zwiki for Python and multimedia. Would be very helpful to have inline thumbnail images amiong the Zwiki text linking to larger images when clicked.
