File objects store in external file
by Rares Vernica 14 Nov '02

Hi, I know how to use Image objects stored in external files, misc_={ "new_gif": ImageFile("icons/new.gif",globals()),... but, how can I use a normal file (text file - a CSS file) like this (without storing it as an Image file or DTML file)?! Thanks in advance, Rares

Merging ZPT's
by Blurg 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi, In perl I was used to merge html templates by the decision of a script. Thus, for example, I have a script and a bunch of HTML templates. Now, the script can decide for some reason, to built the final HTML page in lots of ways when the final HTML page consists of 2 templates depending on how it's called, for example: First half of the page: Template A Second half of the page: Template B or Template C or ... So, how do I do this in a Zope python script? Can I just return 2 templates, so that it will merge the two page templates in one HTML page? I hope I made my point clear.

Confusion about an unreachable object
by Skip Montanaro 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

I have the following structure (in part) in my Zope server: /dcII /worker /edit /index_html /worker /add /index_html /sql /get_worker_names In /dcII/worker/edit/index_html I have this page template snippet: <span tal:repeat="item here/sql/get_worker_names"> <option tal:content="python: '%s %s' % (item['first_name'],item['last_name'])" tal:attributes="value python:item['id']">name</option> </span> /dcII/sql had previously been named /dcII/utils. At that time, the here/utils/get_worker_names reference worked. After renaming the folder and changing the folder reference from "utils" to "sql" I get a KeyError for here/sql/get_worker_names. If I change the reference to here/dcII/sql/get_worker_names, it works. If I copy /dcII/worker/edit/index_html to /dcII/worker/add/copy_of_index_html, it also works. As far as I've been able to tell, worker/add and worker/edit have the same security permissions. In fact, everything View-wise looks like the defaults. I'm logged in as the owner/manager. I've stopped and restarted both Zope and Internet Explorer. I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thx, -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/

version has tons of things locked
by Christopher N. Deckard 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

I was doing a bunch of changes in a version and saved the version without any problems. But now tons of things are claiming to be version locked. It seems that if I go into the version, make a change, save the version and the leave the version, that object won't be locked anymore. The problem here is that they may be about 1,000 objects that are version locked. How can I fix this? The objects that are locked should not have been locked, so if I can throw out all of the crud that's messing things up, then it should be fine. (Yes I'll make a backup of the db before I do anything.) What are my options here? At one point a new Python Script that was created in the version ended up not being able to be accessed outside of the version. I made a copy of it and then got POSkey error exceptions. I copied the contents locally, deleted the original, recreated it and pasted the old contents back into it. Everything is fine for that script now. What would have wigged out the version? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -Chris

That'll probabyl only put it in your system python install. What you need to do is copy anything that's been installed by PIL in, say, C:\Python21\lib into, for example, C:\Zope\lib\python cheers, Chris

I have a folder setup like the following top top\current top\past in the top folder I have a script that includes container.current.superValues('Structured Document') works okay except (thats the big word) that it is also lists structure documents in the top folder. is there some way to limit the scope that superValues looks? I thought buy putting it in current it would limit it's enumeration of structured documents to just that...

[GeneralDiscussion] Zwiki thanks you
by Simon Michael 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

All - Wow. I saw 49 messages from all over zwiki.org today, and they aren't just tests. GeneralDiscussion is nearing 50 subscribers. Docs and wiki organization are starting to coalesce, and useful DTML and javascript hacks are popping up. CMF & Plone support is just about here. Lots still to do but it looks to me as if this venture has reached critical mass and is now really beginning to cook. I want to thank each one of you who has put energy into Zwiki over the last couple of years, in a lot of different ways. Warm regards, -Simon

Hi, I would like to write the content of a cmf file object (or image) to a file to process it. how can I get at the content of the file in a script? I tried something like content = object.index_html(REQUEST, RESPONSE) but that tries to download the file from the server and does not return its content. thanks for your help Robert
