REQUEST.URL and missing subfolders
by Peter Hernberg 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

I'm configuring standard_error_message to forward 404s to their new location. According to the Zope Book, REQUEST.URL is "The URL of the Request without query string". I think I'm getting nailed by that "without query string" part. If someone requests http://www.mysite.com/a/b and there is no 'a' object, REQUEST.URL (when accessed from standard_error_message) will be 'http://www.mysite.com/a'. I assume this is because Zope thinks 'b' is an argument being passed to 'a'. How can I get the *real* URL the client requested? ===== Peter Hernberg Digerati R Us "More love or more disdain I crave" --Charles Webbe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Help structuring site content.
by Jason C. Leach 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

hi, I need to both Zopify and Simplify our site. Right now we have: page.html: This generates a set of frames for a banner on the top (top.html) and a nav bar on the right (nav.html) and loads the page contents c_page.html in the right frame. I would like to just do: <dtml-var standard_html_header> Just put in all my content here for the right frame. <dtml-var standard_html_footer> And have the top, nav, and content all go where it should. Can anyone suggest a way to go about this, or point to some docs? Thanks, j. -- ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ..

zope2.4 Win32 product upgrades: DynPersist, ParsedXML
by Reini Urban 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

On linux upgrading was no problem at all. But windows causes headaches, cause I only have/(had) the ActiveState+Zope binary install. ActivePython is more complete than the python binaries which came with zope. MySQLdb for Win does fine. Anybody has the actual version for DynPersist.dll (for ZPatterns)? Anyhow, just grabbed the ActivePython src tree and I'll do it by myself now. ParsedXML also broke, though there's a good pyexpat.pyd in the PYTHONPATH. But I fixed that, plus a whole lotta different products also. I'll send a huge patch in another mail (PageTemplates, Xron, EMarket), mainly fixing from Globals import DateTime to from DateTime.DateTime import DateTime and getting rid of expr_globals in Eval. ParsedXML-1.1b1-win32-x86.zip was not updated for python 2.1. The whole Product loader seems to be very complicated. Even if the dynamic libs are in the path, it doesn't load. Now that karl doesn't work anymore for DC ... ------ 2001-07-24T17:26:16 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't install ParsedXML Traceback (innermost last): File R:\zope\lib\python\OFS\Application.py, line 657, in install_product (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) (Info: ParsedXML) File R:\zope\Products\ParsedXML\__init__.py, line 91, in initialize File R:\zope\Products\ParsedXML\ParsedXML.py, line 96, in ?

Zope product with folder as base class
by Peter Bengtsson 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

When creating a container product in Python one first use ObjectManager. One can also use OFS.Folder, ZCatalog, BTreeFolder. What's the difference between these and SimpleItem? Some friendly hints and advice on the best base classes anyone? ...for a product that will act as a container for quite a few prefferably searchable objects. What I care about the most is performance and scalability. Peter

HTML() and external methods
by Albert Ting 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

I'm creating some external methods and rather than having my python script call a dtml method, I'd prefer to have it call a HTML instance. So I've been doing something like: testHTML = HTML('''<dtml-var hello>''') def externalMethod(self): return testHTML(self,hello="albert") This seems to work as expected. However, if the externalMethod was called from a form action, and the "hello" variable was defined in the form, I'm unable to do something like: def externalMethod(self): return testHTML(self) or def externalMethod(self): return testHTML(self,REQUEST=self.REQUEST) Instead, I have to do def externalMethod(self): return testHTML(self,hello=self.REQUEST['hello']) What's the correct way to do this? Thanks, Albert

upgrading an old ZODB ...
by Darran Edmundson 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

Pardon the repost, I'm still struggling with the following: I have two old Data.fs files, circa November 1999 and April 2000. Perhaps not surprisingly, I can't seem to use them with Zope 2.1+. ZServer fires up but both the site and the ZMI of the site give the following traceback: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. AttributeError Traceback (innermost last): File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 162, in publish File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\ZPublisher\BaseRequest.py, line 444, in traverse File C:\ZOPE\OSCWEB\lib\python\ZPublisher\BaseRequest.py, line 520, in old_validation (Object: broken) AttributeError: __getitem__ I can imagine that some external products might be missing, but I wouldn't think this would stop the ZMI from displaying properly? The first four bytes of the file are FS21 - this wouldn't be a magic number by chance? Any advice on how to get this data into a modern ZODB? Cheers, Darran.
