escaping html tags during method calls
by Dan Meszaros 07 May '02

Hi, i'm very confused by zope's behaviour when calling dtml methods. let's have method m1 that returns hello when i do <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "m1"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> i get: ... hello ... when i do <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var m1> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> i get ... hello ... which is ok. unfortunatelly i need to call method, that is not in the same directory, parser forces me to use double-quotes. being not satisfied with the result mentioned above (first example) i tried <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-let a="subdir.m1"> <dtml-var a> </dtml-let> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> can someone explain, why does it work that way? regards -dan

calling DTMLFile from an External Method
by Tim Lynch 07 May '02

07 May '02

How do I make use of DTMLFile from an External Method? No matter what I try, I can't get it to work. I think I'm now close, but can't get past this latest problem: Here's my External Method: ---- from Globals import InitializeClass, DTMLFile, package_home from Acquisition import Implicit from Globals import Persistent from DocumentTemplate import HTML def tst1(): stuff = DTMLFile('Extensions/sample', globals()) results = stuff() return results ---- Here's the snippet of a DTML Method that invokes it: <dtml-let ans="tst1()"> <dtml-var ans> </dtml-let> ---- But when I 'View' or otherwise invoke the DTML Method, I get Error Type: KeyError Error Value: __name__ I've looked back through the archives, but can't find an answer to this problem. What's wrong with my External Method and what do I need to add to get the DTMLFile call to work? -- Tim Lynch tim.lynch(a)cornell.edu Information Technology Section 607.255.9570 Albert R.

Default sort order for objects in objectManagers ??
by Max M 07 May '02

07 May '02

What decides the default sort order for the values returned when I do a "objectIds()" etc? I cannot find it on either Google or in the source. It seems that it's sorted in creation order. Is that correct and guaranteed? regards Max M

Re: [Zope] Searching Developer: Mapping WebDAV to Drive Letter

Thomas Guettler wrote: I thought about an open source alternative. BTW, I am testing a demo version of teamdrive right now. MSWord (2002) crashes sometimes if it tries to save a document. Has someone experience with webdrive vs. teamdrive on zope? Hi Thomas, I have tried the trial versions of both Webdrive and Teamdrive on a NT 4.0 SP 6 workstation. Webdrive seemed to work with no problems, but Teamdrive caused frequent bluescreens, which stopped after I deinstalled it. This probably says more about NT than Teamdrive however, as I have to reinstall NT about every 3 or 4 months to keep everthing else working. Bob Corriher P-Wave Inc.

javascript parsing error
by Mark A. Lilly 07 May '02

07 May '02

Hello, There is a line of Javascript i have which i am including in a page template (i get the same error using it via DTML) which is this: for (var y=0; y < 12; y++) <--this is correct--> for (var y=0; y < 12; y++) <--this is what the script debugger shows--> ^^^^ i get an error which says i need a parenthesis before '12'. It is saying this, i believe, because the parser is translating the '<' from the original Javascript to '<' and then the browser is not reinterpreting that as '<' The exact same code works fine when i run it straight from Apache. Something in the Zope HTMLParser seems to change the Javascript so that it doesn't work. Is there a way to leave the original code alone? Thanks, mark

Any apache Rewrite experts out there?
by Jokke Heikkilä 07 May '02

07 May '02

I just added zope to my site and have it serve all the public stuff. I want the apache still to serve all the user directories on our server, but I'm having real troubles to set up my httpd.conf to steer www.domain.com/~user to where it belongs while www.domain.com/ is taken to the zope. Currently the public www stuff resides in a folder WWW which is on the zope root. There's one VHM on the zope root also Below is the httpd.conf file as it is now, but it won't rewrite /~user requests right. Any help very much appreciated. jokke h. ---- <VirtualHost my.domain.com> ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.domain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot /WWW/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.domain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot /WWW/ RewriteEngine On Rewriterule /~(.+) http://users.domain.com/~$1 [R,L] RewriteRule /WWW/.* http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.domain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot /WWW/ [R] RewriteRule /index.html http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.domain.com:80/VirtualHostRoot /WWW/ [R] ServerName www.domain.com </VirtualHost>

How do I get rid of this message

How do I get rid of this message: .\lib\python\SearchIndex\__init__.py:19: DeprecationWarning: The usage of the Se archIndex package is deprecated since Zope 2.4. This package is only kept for backwards compatibility for a while and will go away in a future release. Please use instead the re-factored modules in Products/PluginIndexes. warnings.warn("The usage of the SearchIndex package is deprecated since \ I upgraded a server from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1, by installing a new 2.5.1 instance, and copying the Data.fs. I don't use any SearchIndex any more, all the ZCatalogs have been recreated using PluginIndexes. I have removed the references to all old products (I think). What more can I do? //Lennart
