Question about <dtml-let ...>
by George M. Ellenburg 09 May '02

09 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okay... I have a DTML Document called show_tip. In it, it calls a DTML Method called STYLE_TIP which contains essentially the stylesheet for the tool-tip. In STYLE_TIP, I'm picking a random integer, to show a random background image, but am using <dtml-let ...> to create a new variable (called TD_WIDTH) which I actually need to use from within the main show_tip DTML Document. ,---------- | Reason being is because the random backgrounds have different sized images | embedded in them, and flushed right, so I need to adjust the width of the | table depending on which image is ultimately picked so the text doesn't | overwrite the image. `---------- Part of the code is as follows: <dtml-if "imgID==1"> <dtml-let TD_WIDTH=400></dtml-let> background-image: url('/img/TIP-bg-1.png'); </dtml-if> ,---------- | If I put quotes around the TD_WIDTH=400 above, I get an invalid paramete | error when I try to save the DTML method. `---------- But, when I go to view show_tip, I get the following: Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'TD_WIDTH' is not defined The line that's calling it is: <table border=0 width=<dtml-var TD_WIDTH> align="left"> (I've also tried <dtml-var "TD_WIDTH">, too, but with no luck.) Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Could the problem be that the variable assignation is in a different DTML method from the DTML document that's calling it? Should the "400" (in TD_WIDTH=400) be quoted? I didn't quote it because I didn't want 400 to be misconstrued as a string, when I want it to be an integer. Thanks in advance. - -- George M.

cookie scope?
by Mark A. Robinson 09 May '02

09 May '02

Hang on this is kinda confusing: I set a cookie in a script in the top-level folder. Then move to a sub-folder and change the cookie value. Then I go back to the top-level folder and change the cookie. Lastly, I go back to the sub-folder and it has kept the value from the previous sub-folder's change not the last top-level folder change. So it's acting like I have created 2 cookies: 1 at the top-level, and 1 at the sub-folder level. Anyone ideas? Thanks!

Products and vhm
by Steven Pokrandt 09 May '02

09 May '02

I'd like to host other zope based sites. I see the need to allow admins of the vhosted sites access to creating there own produces Isn't the Idea of a product to be able to create custom objects? I do NOT what them to be able to delete or install system wide products. just ones that would be available within the vhm directory. is this possible, am I missing something...

Has anyone done anything to connect to a Netscape Directory? I understand its LDAP also but I know next to nothing about it or LDAP in general for that matter. I have all the server, port, user, etc. info but just don't know how to go about getting data out of it.

odd iteration semantics in ZPT
by dman 09 May '02

09 May '02

I created a collection and iterator class in an External Method for use by my web app. I implmented the iterator protocol introduced by python 2.2, but also included a __getitem__ method to provide the "old" iteration mechanism. For various reasons, the client of my iterator needs to know some information regarding where in the iteration process the iterator is at. I had little trouble making the iterator itself, but I kept getting odd assertion errors and minor defects in the way data was retrieved from my iterator. I managed to track it down to the fact that __getitem__ is called twice with 0 as the index. The sequence of index values looks like : [0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] I can work around this anomaly by resetting my iterator every time the index is 0. Is this a bug in zope? (I expect that the bug is in ZTUtils/Iterator.py) I'm using zope 2.5.1, python 2.1.3, debian 3.0. -D -- The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

SQL to Excel
by Bruce Dykes 09 May '02

09 May '02

Okay, I'm trying to publish the data from an excel spreadsheet via an ODBC connection. The connection starts okay, and I found this SQL snippet from a Java site: select URL from [qas$] where Month='March' and Year=2000 Note that the table name is the name of the worksheet with a $ appended to the end. You have to append the $ in order for the query to work. Why? Because. The brackets are there because $ is a reserved character in SQL. Life is never easy. ----------------------- Now all I want to do is SELECT *...I don't need anything fancier than that, I'm just trying to publish the entire worksheet. No variation on the above code snippet seems to work. Has anybody gotten SQL queries into excel to work? And how did you do it? thanks in advance bkd As an aside, I'm currently publishing this document via Apache, with an excellent program, xlhtml set up as a handler....but that's proven less than useful as of late.

The best way would be to insert a new first row in your excel-sheet with the field names you want. Or: use the names which are shown when you test your ZSQL method. > > And as a more general question, in the ODBC connector docs, it says that not > all databases support browsing...what is the specific limitation?

If you really want to use the Browse tab, you have to use named ranges in your excel sheet (look in your excel manual how to name ranges); then you will see the named ranges just like 'normal' tables in a database. (and you can also do something like "select * from nameOfRange " as ZSQL method ...) chris
