From Zope point of view your javascript is just a text ! It is the browser that does the window.open. Just insert your script in your page where it should be!

Document Library 0.5 with 2.4.0b2?
by Lars von Wedel 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hi folks, I like the idea of the document library a lot and tried to install it yesterday. However, trying to create a document library object in a folder gave me an error message, saying I'd have to create/call some index first!? Is the product (v0.5) compatible with the latest Zope beta? Lars

Document Library in Win2K
by Ryan Winfield Woodings 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

I have been using zope on a Linux box for a month or two and am quite fascinated with it. But I recently installed Zope on a Win2K machine and am having some trouble getting DocumentLibrary to work. It installed just fine, but every time I try to submit a document I get an error about: ErrorType: NameError ErrorValue: Except Does anyone know how to fix this?

Re: [Zope] Very long URLs

Nothing renders. > > Did you mean something else? Thanks again Hmm, it should work, and I can do this using Cold Fusion (I haven't tried it without a form in Zope yet, though). When a form is submitted using GET, the form variables are appended to the url exactly as you have shown, and they should be available. I suggest this: try something ***simple*** first. So create a page that has a form, and use dtml instructions to look at the url so you can verify that the variables were passed to the page. Make some dtml page or method that gives you a visible response to the form, showing the value of the variable that you sent (I like to have the response open another window so I can tell just what happened). Then paste that url into your browser so as to ask for the response without actually having any form on a page. You should see the same response. If this works, append another variable to the url and see if you get both of them. If this works, then check the exact syntax of your long url. This will be hard because it is so complex. Compare each part to the short url example that works. Also, have Zope display the entire form (<dtml "REQUEST.form">) - every dtml page has a REQUEST object and see if any part of you data gets into the form. At this point, you should have a good idea where something is not working. If you haven't seen an approach to solving the problem, then post to the list again. Seems to me that there are two main possibilities: 1) Your computer-generated long url has some syntax error in it. 2) The url is too long for some buffer. 2) seems unlikely, but you never know. Good luck, Tom P

version control on projects that include Zope and other stuff
by Reinoud van Leeuwen 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hi, I am working on my first serious Zope application a stumbled accross something that I cannot imagine other people have solved in the past :-) My project roughly has two sides: 1: a zope tree (DMTL documents, methods, pyhon scripts, sql methods etc.) 2: a filesystem tree (sql 'create table' scripts, Docbook source code, etc.) currently, I keep my filetree in CVS and the Zope tree in ZDB version control. It is however hard to keep that in good sync. It might be possible to export the zope tree to a .zexp file and put that in the tree, but that is not a very clean solution IMHO... I would like to have all the zope tree documents in my file tree so I can use cvs on them (and work with things like sourceforge in a normal way). I would like to keep the normal Zope management screens on DTML documents if possible.... Is there a way (a python commandline script maybe?) to extract a zope site to different files? (and vice versa). Has anybody thought up other solutions? TIA, Reinoud -- please respond to the mailinglist. since I am on the list, you do not have to CC me to reach me.

A new sequel to the minimal product how-to
by Max Møller Rasmussen 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

After a round of correcting errors on the first minimal product How-To, that tells how to make a VERY simple Python Product for Zope:: http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/HowTo/minimal_01 I have created a sequel How-To that goes further in depth with the topic, and actually makes it a rather complete product. Ending up with making a very minimal news article product. http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/HowTo/minimal_02/ Please report if you find any errors, misunderstandings on my part or hard to understand information.

viewing newsgroups
by Joe Gaffey 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hi, Apologies to anyone who may be receiving this a second time ;( I am trying to use a web front end to view already existing newsgroups on an nntp server. I was wondering if there are any zope products out there that will do this for me. I do not need it to act as a mail server or anything like this. I had a quick look at zopeGUM but this seems to be saying that it *will* provide something that may do this for me. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. PS - is this the correct/best place to ask this question? Thanks, Joe.
