Simple script to facilitate using Vim with Zope
by Jean Jordaan 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi all (Vim list: apologies if any interested parties are already on the Zope list .. ) Here's a reallllllly simple script to facilitate filesystem editing of Zope content with Vim. It uses python to cobble together ncftp and bash. Basically how it works is this: recursively checkout the whole toot using FTP or WebDAV or whatever works for you. This may require some bending over backwards as Specialists and Racks and so forth all have their little idiosyncrasies in how they come down to the filesystem (for example, some you can cd into, but they don't get picked up by an ftp 'get -R' command). Anyway, now edit with Vim. When you write, Vim leaves behind a '...~' backup file. Now run the below script from the root of your local dir. It puts only the changed files and renames the backups to '...#put'. Works for me :) Regards, jean #!/usr/bin/python # # Jean Jordaan # Modified: Fri 10 Aug 2001 03:24:47 PM SAST ''' ''' import os, sys args = os.popen(' find . -name "*~" ').readlines() error = 0 for arg in args: remote_path = os.path.dirname(arg[1:-2]) backup_file = arg[:-1] local_file = arg[:-2] moved_file = arg[:-2]+'#put' os.system('echo ncftpput -f ncftpput.cfg -P 9021 %s %s' % (remote_path, local_file) ) error = os.system('ncftpput -f ncftpput.cfg -P 9021 %s %s' % (remote_path, local_file) ) if error: break os.system('echo mv %s %s' % (backup_file, moved_file) ) error = os.system('mv %s %s' % (backup_file, moved_file) ) if error: break

Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem
by Schmidt, Allen J. 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hello All... Trying to use a RESPONSE.redirect('menu') on an intermediate page for handling logins. After userid and password and submit, the loginCheck page does its thing. If really a valid user, the code above redirects to the main menu page. Works great in IE but I get "Document contains no data" for Netscape. Has to be the redirect because if I comment it out, the other parts of the page display correctly. Any ideas?? Thanks Allen

I've run into something similar in a different context, which I documented here. http://instructionaltechnology.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$666 I'm hypothesizing that when the HTTP Header is something other than 200, and the end destination page is large, and the url has no file extension, Netscape 4.x chokes.

CalendarTag error
by Gitte Wange 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hello I have this calendar in my CMF site. And it has worked so far untill we upgraded our Zope. The error is this: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'expr_globals' is not defined Looking into the code for the CalendarTag I see there is a variable named expr_globals. It is passed as an argument to an Eval function. Now ... I guess it worked before because we were using and older python version. Anyone who knows how to get this to work with python 2.1 ?? Thanks, Gitte Wange

looping through
by Russell Hires 31 Aug '01

Hello everyone, I also sent this to the zope-db list, which I found from the Zope News...but I thought I'd go ahead and post this here as well, since the readership on that list is likely to be quite small since it's a new list, with only 6 messages on it... I'm working on a gradebook program for (using an SQL db adapter) teachers, and at this point I want a teacher to be able to add an assignment. I've got a basic table that has the student name, id, assignment, and grade, with a row for each assignment/grade for each student. I'm at the point now where the teacher adds a new assignment and I want <something> to go through the table, and create new rows for each student, but with a null value for the grade which will be entered later. How do I do that? I'm thinking of just going through the table with a SELECT DISTINCT student-id clause (that way I only create the rows once for each student assignment), but that seems like two steps, one for the SELECT DISTINCT, but then adding new rows based on that query is baffling me. Thanks for the help! Russell

RE: [Zope] Homesite Plugins for Zope
by Schmidt, Allen J. 31 Aug '01

One note on the file I just sent: It can be used for Homesite or for ColdFusion Studio. Tommy uses the Studio so all the path settings are set accordingly. They will need to be adjusted to be usable for HomeSite. Small issue but wanted it to be clear.

Damn... so all this time when I've been using it, I've just been hallucinating? ;-) Did you try the CMF-ised version (and change the values as appropriate) as I suggested when you contacted me? Cheers, Jon
