Implementing page comments?
by Marcin Kasperski 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

I would like to implement page comments on my website (something similar to the comments on the end of http://www.photo.net/samantha/samantha-I and other cities based on ArsDigita, although probably a bit differently presented). Currently I consider hacking squishdot a bit so it can be used as part of the page, but maybe I am wrong and there is some better way? What zopist use in the similar context?

ReportLab + Zope : here's a working example
by Jerome Alet 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

Hi, some time ago I've put some sample scripts for people who didn't know how to use ReportLab from within Zope, at : http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/RLfromZope unfortunately, because of lack of time those scripts were just made for people to look at, but people couldn't make them run, because I hadn't stripped all our particularities : some methods and images were missing. so I'm please to announce the availability of rlzope, available from the very same url as mentionned above, but which is a completely self contained and working example (tested under Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.7 under Debian GNU/Linux) which you can play with. See the README for installation instructions. Hoping this helps. Jerome Alet

Where should I go?
by Lennart Regebro 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

Internet Explorer 6.0 implements the p3p privacy standard. But I can't get IE6 to accept my cokkies even though I have a privacy statement. I've looked all over the web but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Does anybody know of any mailing lists or websites that concern this so I can figure out why it isn't working? The p3p validator at w3.org sais that everything is fine. I've used IBM's p3p generator do create the statement and it sais everything is fine. IE6 doesn't complain, it just rejects my cookies, even at the next lowest setting, which should mean that I either have no compact policy (which I do) or that I collect information without the users implicit concent (which I don't). I'm stumped. Where do I find help?

displaying a DTML Method from a Python Script
by Doyon, Jean-Francois 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

Hello, I just worte a Python Script that I want to act as a page, so I need it to "include" the standard_html_header and standard_html_footer contents. I tried things like: print context.standard_html_header() and varieties thereof, but the closest I get is an error about "this" not being defined, which is funny since "this" does not appear anywhere in my script. Thanks in advance for the help!

No, I didn't use image.data. I used index_html() after reading the documentation on the ExtFile/ExtImage product page on zope.org. I see you have been pointed to a much fuller response, but here is the external method that worked for me: ------------ from StringIO import StringIO def resizer(self): for old_folder in self.photos.objectValues(['Folder']): self.photos2.manage_addFolder(old_folder.getId()) new_folder = getattr(self.photos2, old_folder.getId()) for extimage in old_folder.objectValues(['ExtImage']): file = StringIO(extimage.index_html()) new_folder.manage_addProduct['ExtFile'].manage_addExtImage(id=extimage.getId (), title=extimage.title, file=file, create_prev=1, maxx=400, maxy=400, ratio=1) ----------- hth tim

Zope scope (namespace ?) question
by Charles Morrison 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

I'm wondering if anyone can give me a clue on using or parsing scope issues in zope. I'm working on a zope + database application where I need to edit existing database records. What I'm doing works very well up to a point. I've created a dtml method which is a cgi form. It send's it's value to another dtml method which uses a <dtml-in > (to a zmysql method)to grab the record data and fill it into another cgi form. That form send's the revised data to another zmysql method. This all works fine when running the original dtml method as itself or imbedded in a dtml document. What I'm running into is that if I embed the first dtml method into the result of another query - like showing all records from a particular date - I run into a format change for the passed form element I don't know how to deal with. Specifically: Normally if I enter the value 109 into the form, the value passed to the next method is 106. It works fine, I expect it and use it that way. When I go out of scope (apparently), the passed value is ['106','']. This messes up the query and I get no matches. I had originally thought that the problem was related to having the calling form in a directory above the called method. This turned out to not be the case as it happens when they are in the same directory. I also copied the content of the cgi form method into the results page directly (not using the <dtml-var> tag to call it. This didn't make any difference. I've tried using <dtml-with REQUEST> when looking up the passed value, but the result is the same. Any hints on how I can get a clean value or parse the value so I could use it without resorting to a python script to pull the number out of the brackets and quotes ?

Newbie; management interface
by wilco van erven 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

I am studying the ZopeBook: Right now I am reading page 12: Controlling Zope with Management Interface I know how to login: http://localhost:8080/manage The book says: After you successfully login you see a web page of the Zope management interface, as shown in Figure 2-1. But I do not get Figure 2-1 (that is a page with the product add list, the CONTENTS tab, the VIEW tab, the PROPERTIES tab, etc) Instead I get Zope QuickStart: (Start Welcome to Zope, a high-performance object-oriented platform for building dynamic Web applications. Here are some quick pointers to get you started) I would like to see a page like figure 2-1, so I can ADD a folder, make my own pages etc. What do I do wrong? Wilco van Erven
