Reference to Local Context of a Macro
by Edward Pollard 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

I have a page. It includes a macro (some HTML) that is in a subfolder. This html needs to refer to an image file in the local context of the macro file (in the same subfolder). Is this possible? I cannot determine the correct path notation for it (template and here refer to the context of the main page template calling the macro). Edward

VirtualHostMonster and Realm
by Ulrich Wisser 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

Hello, on my Zope (2.5.1) I try to run several virtual host with the help of VirtualHostMonster. That works just fine, but with basic authentication all hosts will show the same realm. How can I define one realm per virtual host?

Try tightvnc. It is derivate from vnc. Search google for that. Regards JL. ---------- Odes�latel: Renier Leenders <rf.leenders(a)planet.nl> As far as I know is Zope not capable as a terminal server.

RE: [Zope] Re: Odd problem updating a PostgreSQL DB

[ Tim Wilson] > > <dtml-if our_score>our_score = <dtml-sqlvar our_score > type="int" optional="true">,</dtml-if> There is your problem, as Evan predicted. When our_score is zero, the test fails, since 0 is the value for a logical "false". Besides Evan's suggestion, you could convert to a string for the test - <dtml-if "_.str(our_score)"> But this would fail if the variable "our_score" did not exist. Really, I think you want to test for its existence, not its value, do you not? Cheers, Tom P

Look for "range" queries... Thanks, Dieter. I have read book, but nothing func OK. At your earlier response to someone you reccomens to search google for dieter bobobase... string. IT IS THE BEST THING to search archive for your name! So I today make 3 new catalogs + have one from last week with different settings and try many methods found in first half of 200MB mailinglist archive (If I will have spare time, I will search the second half :). www.zope.org\Members\Zen\howto\AdvZCatalogSearching So that code with little debug and tweak works. Maybe this will help to somebody: <dtml-in "zaprdek3(bobobase_modification_time=_.DateTime() -60, bobobase_modification_time_usage='range:max')">60 days old item: <dtml-var "zaprdek3.getpath(data_record_id_)"><br> </dtml-in> And third version zaprdek3 (in english fouled egg) :o) of catalog works: Add ZCatalog, go into, klick Indexes, select&delete Principia..., go back, klick FondObjects, select DTML Documents and Files, at last field select View (dont touch anything else fileds!!!) and submit. After Total CPU time: 21.467491912368132 (2002-09-16 13:39) zaprdek3 contains 176 record(s). If you dont delete Principia, CPU time will be taken 15x more. Many thanks for your helps and kicks to someone, in past and future. BTW, does somebody know syntax of "Expr" field? I do not index files in "some" folder? Best Regards J. Lukesh

You also want to remember that you cannot control the screen resolution, and a lot of people still use 800X600. So it does not pay to get to precise in screen design, I think, and you should spend the time getting something acceptable on a wide range of systems. If you use this approach, accessibility issues will be much easier to deal with. Cheers, Tom P

ZClass question - array of arrays
by Dianne Van Dulken 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

Hi, I'm having a little bit of a problem working out what ZClass property I should be setting. I want to record an array that can either contain strings or more arrays. eg: It can be ['a', 'b', 'c'] or ['a', ['b', 'c'], 'd'] or [['a','b'], ['c','d'], ['e','f']] The problem is that I can't work out what property type I should be setting this to be. I tried tokens, but tokens won't allow arrays to be saved, and both lines and strings assume that there will be a string (obviously), which means that I have to do a lot of splitting on [ and , before I can work with the data. The whole idea of the property is that if there is a scalar in position X, it shows the scalar, otherwise with an array, it shows a random value from that array. Is there an obvious type that I am missing? Thanks Dianne
