sort with external comparison function
by Dennis Allison 01 Sep '02

I have a problem with sorting in a <dtml-in> which may be a bug or just a conctptual error. Suppose foo is a simple sequence and myCompare is a two-parameter Python script returning -1, 0, 1. The the dtml snippet <dtml-in foo sort="sequence-item/myCompoare"> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> should render the sequence in my sort order but does not. It does call the myCompare routine (a Python Script in the Zope space). The problem seems to be with the parameterization. The version of myCompare I am trying to use generates an error because the parametrs seem not to be set. If I change myCompare to be def myCompare( a,b): return cmp( a, b ) it should be the equivalent of the default sort--but it's not.

Newbie CMF question

I've created a CMFDefault object of type "Document" within my CMF site. I'm now attempting to use that Document object as I would a DTML document, with no success -- the content of the Document appears to be parsed as HTML and the DTML tags are ignored. Since I'm obviously going about this the wrong way, what's the best way to access DTML content from within a CMFDefault Document? Is there a way to create a separate DTML object or method and then embed this within the Document's HTML? Thanks in advance, -Eric

xmlrpc redirect response

Hello, When I try to adding an DTML Document by xmlrpc call the following error appear: xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for localhost:8080/RPC2: 302 Moved Temporarily> The 302 error code is about redirect response. I think there is no make sense redirect in xmlrpc call, so change zope source. I put the following method at Response class in xmlrpc.py file: def redirect(self, location, status=302, lock=0): pass What do you think about it? Is there any problem? -- Marco Catunda

Not a clue....

I am building/(cobbling together in Python) a Product called "DraftFolder" that holds Draft Documents.... These draft documents are catalog aware and I am trying to programmitcally add a Custom Catalog called "Draft Catalog" that will catalog them inside DraftFolder.... The Draft Catalog has a bunch of static attributes (I havent been able to make a ZClass successfully....) and I have an instance of it in the regular file hierarchy..... What I need to do is get that static instance of the Draft Catalog to automatically install inside of DraftFolder whenever I create an instance of DraftFolder.... I have been trying for about three days now - but to no avail Is there a simple way of adding static Files to an instance programatically? IF it's there and obvious, I am not seeing it.... WPH
