RE: Formulator--pre-selecting a line in a multiline field - still unsolved.
by David Washburn 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

I am using a multiline Formulator widget and I want to preset the line in a list using a value from the record in the database which I read in my DTML document, and which is going to be updated. I read the record and I can display all the "fixed" fields with no problems. I am still not clear on how to specify the default value, which is gotten from the database record, when I display the form using Formulator. I have successfully created a Python/Script & ZSQL Method (it is in the TALES Item field) to read a code table from a MySQL database and display it in the Formulator form when it is rendered. This list has two values per line, the text displayed and the numeric code that is to be returned when the user make a choice from the list. Dieter made a suggestion that I place the value of the data item that I want to use to point to the correct line in the multiline widget, in a hidden field so that it will be accessible when Formulator renders the field. The document that displays the Formulator widgets is a DTML document that I coded to display the data fields using calls to the Formulator API. The lines look like this: ..... <tr> <td> <input type="HIDDEN" name="company_contact_id_selected:int" value="<dtml-var company_contact_id null="">"> <dtml-var "profile_form.company_contact_id.get_value('title')"></td> <td><dtml-var "profile_form.company_contact_id.render(_['company_contact_id'])"></td> </tr> ..... Which is rendered like this: <tr> <td> <input type="HIDDEN" name="company_contact_id_selected:int" value="6"> ADVANCE Contact ID</td> <td><select size="1" name="field_company_contact_id" ><option value="0" >Unknown </option> <option value="22" >Sam (from: UK)</option> <option value="26" >Bill (from: VN)</option> <option value="6" >Bruce (from: SG)</option> <option value="24" >Seth (from: US)</option> </select> </td> </tr> What I want to be able to do is have the line that displays "Bruce (from: SG)" selected when the form is displayed since he is ID # 6. It should have looked like this: <option value="6" selected>Bruce (from: SG)</option> The question is, what is the syntax I need to use in the Formulator/TALES management screen for a multiline widget to reference the data in the hidden field called "company_contact_id_selected". I think I need to place a reference to the variable "company_contact_id_selected" in the TALES default field, but I can't seem to find the correct syntax to reference it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Zope-2.6.1 + boa-constructor
by Thierry Florac 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, I'd like to use boa-constructor (release 0.2.3 with Python-2.2.2 on Linux) to access my Zope servers (release 2.6.1 with Python-2.1.3, on Linux and Solaris). I can access Zope products (python scripts and DTML files) throught SSH without any problem, but I have a lot of problems when trying to use the Zope transport to access scripts (Python or DTML) stored into the ZODB. Actually, for many files, I receive an error message : xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line x, column y Actually, these scripts are OK and can be executed or edited throught ZMI without a problem. Any help or idea will be welcome... Thanks, Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.sourceforge.net -- http://www.ulthar.net

by Gilles Lenfant 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, This is not strictly speaking a Zope problem, but certainly lots amond you faced and fixed this. I made a i18n site with Localizer that runs fairly good, including its i18n search engine. But what about external searche engine robots (google, infossek...) How to "tell" them that they may browse and index the pages in french, english, spanish (...), changing their http header "Accept-Language" ? Many thanks in advance --Gilles

javascript / python /populate fields from db
by Exteam 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi all, This list is really wonderful, as I can solve most of my issues so fast, that I am amazed. Well I need more help... My requirement is to populate three fields (coming from formulator) in a ZPT file. The first field has a drop down and should get data from db using pyhton. The next 2 fields should populate themselves with the corresponding columns from the database. It seems to me that javascript is the only choice? Am I correct in this assumption? If yes, are there any options on how to use it in this scenario? Does python (server side) "talk" directly to javascript(client side)? Maybe python generates the javascript on the fly? Are you aware of any examples using this approach on the web? Any comments would be helpful...

Zope 2.7.0 - WIN32
by subspace 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, Zope 2.7.0 does not work with my win98. When I tried to start the ZServer, I got several memory-errors, no RAM or DISC memory, but environment-memory, don't know what it means. A friend, who uses 98ME had the same problem. Is this an error only with win98 or are there parameters to patch in the instance.bat file? -- Best regards Werner mailto:info@subspace-media.de

RE: [Zope] stuck with Zope version lock !!!
by Smith, Neil (Worcester) 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

I've had that problem too. When you go back in to the version and try to save it I bet it now says no changes to commit. It's very very annoying. You will have to go be working in the version and make dummy changes to all of the unsaved objects so that the version thinks it has to save them again. Then try committing the version again. Keep doing this until all your changes are saved. Neil -----Original Message----- From: Gilles Lenfant [mailto:gilles@pilotsystems.net] Sent: 22 July 2003 15:34 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] stuck with Zope version lock !!! Hi, I'm stuck committing work I made using a "version" object on a production site. I created a "version" object at the root of a Folder (site) and started creating new objects and changing others. After a satisfying result (working in context of that version), I saved the work done with that version. Strange results : * Modified objects still are locked on that version, and when leaving the version context, the old content replaced the modified one. * New objects created in the context of the version have disappeared when leaving the version (after saving changes !!). Those objects appear again when I join the version. As a result, the (public) site is buggy as all changes have not been committed. And I must "enter" that version as manager to see the (supposed to be commited) changes. Heeelp please (emergency) Many thanks in advance.

Re: [Zope] How does GroupUserFolder work ?
by Pierre-Julien Grizel 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, GroupUserFolder is a generic groups management for Zope. It does provide groups management inside the ZMI but doesn't provide any kind of delegation or such. What you seem to want is a content-management platform. You may want to have a look at Plone which is currently integrating strongly GroupUserFolder to implement some of the features you are looking for. For more information about GRUF, see http://ingeniweb.sf.net/Products/GroupUserFolder.

How does GroupUserFolder work ?
by Gelin Patrick 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Hi, I would like to understand what exactly GroupUserFolder is. What I want to do is that each group is independent, with its own private forum, documents, members, calendar, etc. I would like a user have the ability to belong one or more groups. I would like some users have the ability to register others inside groups. Finally, I would like a user log in and after he has the ability to choose a group to work with. (In fact I would like something like groove) Is GroupUSerFolder my solution? Thanks.

Re: [Zope] Zope hangs with no visible reason

One small gotcha: be careful you don't leave any text highlighted in the DOS box where Zope is running (if it's running in a visible DOS box), as that suspend application execution (and so hangs Zope) until you hit return in that DOS box... So, Windows is a server application? riiiiight ;-) Chris
