You could actually modify the "default_dm_html" attribute of the lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py module to something different than it is right now if you wanted.

Getting calling folder data into a ZClass addForm
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Is there any way for the addForm DTML Method for a ZClass to know what folder it was called from so that some DTML logic can be implemented to load certain data (for properties) into the input elements of the HTML form used to load the initial data into the soon-to-be created object instance? Is the context object available in the standard ZClass addForm? I want to make a generalized ZClass that references other class instances that exist within the calling folder (and no where else). The references, preferrably, would be stored in a list property of the object. The alternative is to make ZClasses for each specific folder (with boolean properties relating indicating relationship with the other object(s) in the folder). I would like to avoid the alternative because it is more maintenance. Does anyone use a mechanism for maintaining relationships between some (but not all) objects in a folder in some object for dynamic referencing? When you think about it, there is a lot of utility if someone can work out this trick. Thanks in advance, Ron

RE: [Zope] Help with LoginManager
by Farrell, Troy 08 Jun '01

Become familiar with the procedure for installing a product. You will do it many times when using zope. First, check for a folder in Program Files/Zopesite/lib/python/Products/LoginManager/. It should have been created by unpacking LM. You will also need ZPatterns which comes with LM IIRC. ZPatterns needs DynPersist.dll, which you can get pre compiled for win32 platforms here: http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/dev-archive.nsf/ByKey/CF999B6A9B3C5C68 If after you do this and restart Zope, you still have problems, let us know.

ZClass with binary fields
by Klaus Herrmann 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi! I want to have special folders and documents to which i can attach binary data, e.g. pdfs, wavs etc.. how can i create a ZClass with a field for binary data? the second problem ois more difficult: the zclass has to be capable of carrying an unlimited number of attachments. so either add_property for a new attachment has to be possible, or the data has to be stored in an array. any ideas how this could be done? thanks in advance!

processing checkbox parameters - browser differences
by Sandy Britain 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi all, My problem is this: I have a dtml method needs to pick up the values ONLY of checked checkboxes in an html form whose names are the ID's of objects users want to edit or delete. So the idea is that the object ids are passed to the method with the Request object and the appropriate objects can then be deleted or opened for editing in another html form. This works great in netscape 4.x but it doesn't work in IE 5 - it doesn't appear to be returning the checkboxes with the REQUEST - or perhaps not picking up that any are checked. Here is the code from the method that processes the form' action: <dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()"> <dtml-let request_item_id=sequence-key> <dtml-in "objectValues('myObjectType')"> <dtml-if expr="id == request_item_id"> Do some stuff to the object here </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> ------------------------------------------ Here is the code that instantiates the checkbox: <TD> <input type=checkbox name=<dtml-var id> value=1></TD> Anyone know how to deal with this?

return a value from python script
by S.Morris 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi, I have a master detail form which is sent to a python script. The detail part of the form uses the records converters. The python script works ok and the records are updated in a MySQL database. #contact ----- inserts master record ----- context.StaffInsertMethod() ----- inserts detail records ----- for x in contact: name = x['name'] job = x['job'] context.ContactInsertMethod(name=name, job=job) return 'ok' How can I respond to the 'ok' that is returned in a DTML document? Calling the script from a DTML document returns exactly the same thing as calling the script directly from the form. -- ------------ S.Morris

Salve, I just trying to figure out if PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) + Zope is working. I am especially interested in the combination with LDAP. Anybody tried this already? The only thing I could find is quite old: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-October/001831.html cheers Damir
