How to use conditional statements
by McDonnell, Larry 13 May '02

13 May '02

Hi, As part of my process, I need to have authorized users approval document in the system I am building. I have setup a username/password call and ZSQL. But my problem is error checking. This is how I input the information <form name="form1" method="post" action="password_lookup"> <table width="75%" border="1"> <tr> <td width="27%">Last Name:</td> <td width="30%"> <input name="lastname" size="30" value=""> <td width="27%">Password:</td> <td width="30%"> <input name="password" size="20" value=""> <td width=27%"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> On password_lookup I call <dtml-in check_password>. If this information is wrong the process continues and I want this to stop. How do I check if there is an error? Also, using <dtml-if> statements , how do I check if the field is empty? The reason is I need to let the user use the next empty approval block. Thanks. Larry McDonnell Proton Energy Systems 50 Inwood Rd.

by Richard McKinley 13 May '02

I recently managed to lock myself out of zope. Is there a way to recover/copy the database containing the DTML documents/ZSQL methods etc. to a new installation? I have had no success in logging into zope with the new superuser I created..

You can change this line: manage = manage_main = HTMLFile('www/UserCounterStats', globals()) to: manage_main = HTMLFile('www/UserCounterStats', globals()) HTH, Sean On Monday 13 May 2002 15:19, you wrote: > I like your UserCounter and it works great, but I'm getting an error on the > ZServer startup > > 2002-05-13T13:03:50 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of > Products.User > Counter.Counter.UserCounter: "manage" != "manage_main" > > How can I fix this? > > Thanks > Eric Dunn

objects not updated after restart of Zope
by Michal Bencur 13 May '02

13 May '02

Hi, I have a product, and I make a change of it's attributes. Bellow's a method & DTML snippet, how I do this. Object is updated, everything works fine until I restart Zope - changes are lost afterwords, and objects get previous content of "title" and "text" attributes. it seems to me that object is changed, cached in memory, but not stored into Data.fs. any idea what could be wrong ? regards, Michal my product: def editData(self, title, text, category = 1, REQUEST=None): """Edit""" self.title = title self.text = text self.category = category self._p_changed = 1 dtml/edit.dtml: <dtml-call "editData(atitle, atext, REQUEST=REQUEST)">

Assign a value to a variable for use in different object
by Leo 13 May '02

13 May '02

Hello, One question I have during I'm creating my Zope pages. That's how can I use a value within the other object. I can assign a value to a variable within one object by using dtml-let. But how can I do that when use it in other object. For example, I assign a value in a dtml method page and want to use the value in ZSQL method. Any way to do that? Thanks in advance. Leo

Re: [Zope] OpenOffice, Webdav question

No - but you can set it in z2.py # Port for the special "WebDAV source view" HTTP handler. There is no # standard port for this handler, which is disabled by default. WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT=[] so do something like WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT=8088 Paul P.S. On a different tack, whilst I haven't looked at OpenOffice recently, I did note from a recent thread on the python-win32 list that OpenOffice supports COM. Tim Hicks and I have developed something called "zlave" <http://www.zope.org/Members/tuppence/zlave/> that allows Microsoft Office docs (via XML-RPC - if you need to have a Unix box in the mix - and COM) to be automatically converted to HTML, in the manner of MSWord Munger <http://www.zope.org/Members/Kaivo/MSWordMunger> but using kosher Word (say, rather than wvWare, which in our experience tends to fail as the uploaded Word doc gets more complicated). Thought: if OpenOffice supports COM, perhaps one might be able to remove Microsoft Office from the architecture? (see <http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/zlave.gif> for the latter) Comments? IHMO this is a killer application for any intranet and indeed Zope in general ....... moreover post-processing of the so-called HTML that Word produces (dunno about Open Office) allows such converted documents to be used in contexts of wider visibility (so due regard can be paid to accessibility issues, etc). -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning(a)bristol.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/
