He folks, I need a solution to format a title in lowercase all the time. I have an object with a title <a class="navigation" target="main" tal:attributes="href url" tal:content="r/object/title_or_id">ID</a> What would be the right way of converting the title to lowercase ? Thanks, Volker

RE: [Zope] Help Needed - Case for Zope

Thanks everyone. Any Project managers out there with something to add with regard to comparison between speed of implementation for Zove vs. other products? Personally, I place maintainability and transitioning skills as my top priority, and elegance of code comes last. Speed (e.g., of the server) is a non-issue because one can always allocate better hardware for this since it's a mere commodity now, intellectual capital is always at a premium. And that's why I like Zope :) But I still have to sell the concept to managers who only hear "Java" & "JSP" from software vendors and so are most familiar with these technologies.

If you're starting from a clean sheet it's probably best to avoid Solaris.

Help Needed - Case for Zope
by Samir Mishra 02 Mar '03

Hello all, My manager has requested comments on whether Zope "performs like a dog". I'm doing some digging around at the moment, but, in the meantime, if anyone has any links to recommend, benchmarks, experiences to share, that I can use to counter his 'assertion', it would be much appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Samir.

Returning a random image from a folder
by David Mitchell 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

Going mad with this one... I'm trying to write a Python script to return a random image from a specified folder. For example, here's how I may want to call it from a ZPT page: <span tal:replace="randomImage('Advertisements/BannerAds') / > My randomImage Python script is as follows (where 'directory' is the parameter being passed to the script): import string import random directory_context = string.replace("/", ".", directory) return directory + "/" + random.choice(context.directory_context.objectValues('Image')) Some of you may recognize this as being almost an exact copy of the script on p151 of "The Zope Book", with the only difference being that I'm trying to pass a folder name as a parameter. I'm pretty sure I need to do the directory_context step, but I can't get it to work either with or without it. Where I'm really struggling is in getting my head around the context stuff. Can anyone offer me some assistance? Thanks in advance Dave Mitchell

Hi, What are the acceptable values for management_page_charset ? Where should this property be placed, so that it applies for the whole site ? -- Milos Prudek

RE: [Zope] List subfolders within any folder
by Samir Mishra 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

I had a similar problem. The tree does not seem to work if called from a DTML document, but is OK when called from a DTML Method. Try calling the original __DTML Method__ from another __DTML Method__. Dieter Maurer pointed me in the right direction. There are more details on this in the original mail. Also, another recent thread recommends using "ZUtils" for site trees.

I have a DTML Method which contains: <dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')" sort="title" skip_unauthorized> <li><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a></li> </dtml-in> Which when I "view" on it's own happily lists the folders within my root folder. Yet somehow when I reference this object with another DTML Document, it list nothing?! Any help appreciated.
