Templates

How can I find out what the name is of a template thats being used? I'm using a basic starter account at zettai.net and I've over-ridden the standard_error_template with my own. I created a form page that uses the :required attribute on the form names--when I submit the form without filling in one or more of the fields I get back a plain white error page with my hosts link/name on the bottom, and the message "No input for required field". For other types of errors my standard_error_template pops up as expected; I would like to use my template for this message as well. I'm assuming there is another template that I can over-ride. Thanks, Jay Dorsey

Proposal: Organizing objects in ZMI via transparent folders.
by Martin Diers 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

In any comlpex Zope app, you end up with quite a number of SQL methods/scripts/objects littering your application's root folder. This is of course because t is convenient to place all those objects which you need easy access to in all your sub-folders, to take advantage of acquisition. My point is, the number of objects in your application's main folder can quickly start to get hairy. Is there any way to categorize them into groups? I envision something which I call a "transparent folder". The idea of a transparent folder is that it is a ghost container of sorts. You can place anything inside of it, but whatever you place there remains an object of the transparent folder's "real" container. This would allow you to organize your objects into some meaningful structure, without having to change rewrite all your pathing statements. Objects in transparent folders could be acquired just as if they are in the parent folder. Transparent folders should be nestable, but still have all objects inside the nested folders belong to the first "real" container up the chain. Is there any such solution like this available now?

Assistance Needed For New Website
by kittonian 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

I'm looking for someone who knows zope/python/linux/postgresql to help me do a little project for this new website I'm working on that helps mac/linux/zope/programming/etc. consultants find work. If anyone would be willing to assist I'd sure appreciate it. It's going to benefit us all in a big way (hopefully) so I'd like to get it launched asap. The idea here is that all of us need to find more work and make more money. The plan is to put together such a solution and everything is already in place (including the front end design and the marketing structure). All I need is for a couple of people to code up the administration and registration portion of things so that we can all start getting more consulting gigs. If you are interested in helping out and have these skills please send an e-mail to kittonian(a)macgenius.net.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! Using an <dtml-if x>=y> statement with dates
by info＠grabthebasics.com 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

I am trying to include only those dates that are before a certain date. However, if the first one is before, all of the dates are included which is not correct. I will then build this on, so that only dates that are between a certain range are included. The code that i am using, is: (obviously StartingDate is a variable that is being defined each time in DZEvent) <dtml-with ItineraryEvents> <dtml-in expr="objectValues('DZEvent')" sort=StartingDate> <dtml-let divider="'2004/01/12'" start=StartingDate> <dtml-if " divider>start"> <dtml-let start=StartingDate> The Date is: <dtml-var StartingDate> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> Any help on or off list greatly appreciated, Tom

Number of Simultaneous Users
by Samir Mishra 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

Hello All, I know there's probably a simple answer to this, just can't find it (tried google too)... How do I tell how many users are concurrently logged on to a Zope server? I'd like to be able to store/show statistics. Thanks. Regards, Samir

Do that a few times and your whole site is down. Not sure if a try: would work here but that might be worth a shot. But I guess if the urlopen never comes back then the try: would just try forever. Am I right here or is there a better way to handle this? Allen

Zope URL/Page Retrieval with Python
by Samir Mishra 15 Nov '03

15 Nov '03

Hello All, I guess this is more of a Python question. I'm trying to access a page being generated by Zope using Python's urllib2 module. The page requires a username/password be entered before it can be accessed/rendered. I'm stuck on how I can provide user credentials to a website requiring authentication through a Python script. Could someone help me out? Thanks. Regards, Samir
