How do I get the value of an object in python???
by Bill Hewitt 25 Aug '03

How do I get the value of an object in python and then pass it's attributes to a DTML method???? I run the following: > ## Look for Day Year (ie - Monday 2003) > for i in container.StyleBook.objectValues('Style Sheet') : > print container.StyleBook.loadStyle(title=i.title, > styletype=i.styletype, > bodycolor=i.bodycolor > ) > return printed and it runs fine against loadStyle - a DTML method I wrote to return a formatted CSS stylesheet..... But what I would like to do is use loadStyle in the context of i - in other words, use i's attributes as properties to loadStyle WITHOUT having to declare them all as arguments to loadStyle. What I cant figure out is, how do I get i's id and then pass it to container.StyleBook.loadStyle (python doesnt seem to like container.StyleBook.i.loadStyle) How does one do this? TIA WPH

Getting data from object inside ZClass
by Davis Marques 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

I'm developing a product using ZClasses, and I'm having some problems. When I make an instance of my ZClass, I want to copy a number of DTMLDocuments that are contained inside the ZClass to the inside of the new ZClass instance. Here's what I've got: # add a new instance of the ZClass, initialize properties instance = container.DPPortal.createInObjectManager(request['id'], request) instance.propertysheets.Basic.manage_editProperties(request) # the ZClass producthome = getattr(container,'DPPortal') # make a new DTMLDocument with data from default_css source = getattr(producthome,'default_css') instance.manage_addDTMLMethod(id='designportal.css',title='Default Design Portal stylesheet',file=source.data)

Python Script HowTo (WAS: How do I get the value of an object with python?)
by Bill Hewitt 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

Hi First it's great to be back on the list..... Had some problems for a few days. As Dieter pointed out I was not very clear in what I was trying to accomplish. (All my posts to this point have been related - as well as the post by davis(a)mccalldesign.com - which seems very similar...) Heres what I have: 2 ZClasses StyleBook (Inherits from Folder) | | | |---StyleSheet (Inherits from DTML Document) Unique title Property specifying when to use styletype Property specifying where to use At this point I can successfully create the StyleBook instance and add StyleSheet instances with the correct properties and through the ZMI, reset and/or view the results of those properties at will..... Now, I am trying to: * Via Python, collect all instances of StyleSheet that exist in StyleBook (via unique object ID) * Via Python, look at the title and styletype properties of each StyleSheet instance and compare them against my query arguments * If I find a match, return all the Property values(potentially 47+) of the particular StyleSheet instance (that are not empty strings) in a CSS Format. I cannot find any good *simple* howto examples of doing this with python. (With DTML I can do it, but it is very messy... Though I'm just learning Python, I would like to do it with python) Hope this makes sense......and Thanks for listening WPH

Shouldn't it automatically assume I'm an Anonymous User with the >Anonymous role? Yes, you *are* the anonymous user (see last sentence in error value). But something needs the "View" role (you created it, I guess, since it's not a default one). Do you have an index_html inside your folder, or is it acquired? Try to figure out what is "0" (item 0).

For some reason, there are no errors for many, but some people experience errors. I couldn't imagine Zope being browser or OS dependent, but that is what appears to be happening! beno

Integrating an SQL Database into ZCatalog
by martin f krafft 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

A lot of our data are stored in an SQL database, so they are not indexed by ZCatalog. Has anyone encountered this and knows a good way to deal with it? E.g. it would be nice to be able to say: include the data from table papers in ZCatalog, and use the template http://www.host.ch/publications/paper/<%id> when a match is selected. Suggestions? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver!

Wrong MD5 sum for Zope-2.7.0-b1-win32.exe?
by Tobias Herp 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

Hi, I just downloaded Zope-2.7.0-b1-win32.exe (which worked fine) and checked the md5 sum; unfortunately it didn't match. I repeated the download and got the same file; I repeated it with another browser and got the same again. My md5 sum: ab07f4a679cf9323a5620f3003937d20 The documented, obviously wrong md5 sum: ab7f4a679cf9323a562f303937d20 How can this happen? Isn't the checksum automatically updated when the file is uploaded? By the way, it would be nice if the viewMD5 method would yield a correct line like generated by md5sum (e.g. ab07f4a679cf9323a5620f3003937d20 *Zope-2.7.0-b1-win32.exe ) instead of the leading 0, and even better if the Software Release would provide a list, containing all the md5sums of all its files. Cheers, Tobias

[Resolved] Zope on SuSE 8.2 -- What initial user name and passworddo I use?
by paulporter＠buffalotalks.com 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

Thank you to everyone that offered suggestions and tried to help me with this problem. A very special thank you goes to Anthony Tarlano who was kind enough to detail what he had to do to resolve this same problem in Mandrake. Though SuSE's directory structure is different from Mandrake's the information that Tony provided gave me the clues to solve this problem. THANK YOU TONY! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for the archives: Solution for initial log-in to Zope on SuSE 8.2 Linux Distro: SuSE 8.2 Zope Version: 2.6.1 Problem: Zope starts but does not see the 'access' file to verify superuser logon Solution: Logged into Linux as root, save the 'access' file in the /opt/zope/ directory. This file should contain "UserName:PassWord" minus the quotation marks. Log out and log back in to Linux as a user (Not root). Bring Zope up in your browser and enter the superuser information that you saved in the 'access' file, and hit enter. This should allow you into Zope. Now that you have successfully gotten into Zope add a new manager under the acl_user folder. Close out of Zope completely and then log back in under the new user you just created under acl_user. This should allow you into the Control_Panel and your ready to enjoy Zope. Note that you can not do anything accept add or modify a user when logged in as the superuser. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again my thanks to everyone who helped me resolve this problem.

PTC and EXIF reading support for Photo product
by Andreas Tille 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

Hi, I found a product to support PTC and EXIF tags at http://zope.org/Members/ausum/Iptc_Exif_reading_support and I would like to package this for Debian GNU/Linux. Unfortunately there is no license available and so I tried to ask the author Augusto Cabrera <ausum_studio at hotmail dot com> but his e-mail account seems to be full and the mail bounced. Because the product is more than one year old it might be possible that Augusto does not use this account any more and I would like to ask, whether somebody knows a more up to date address. Kind regards Andreas.

RE: [Zope] How the heck do I do this Python for Loop?
by Samir Mishra 25 Aug '03

Use something along the lines of - obj = getattr(container.stylebook, i) return obj.loadStyle() -----Original Message----- From: Bill Hewitt [mailto:wphewitt@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 10:07 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] How the heck do I do this Python for Loop? This has been driving me crazy for the last week...... I wrote a python script that loops through a directory called StyleBook and selects a particular stylesheet based on the Day of the week, the year and a parameter..... --------- example: --------- ## Look for Day Year (ie - Monday 2003) in the StyleBook Directory for i in container.StyleBook.objectValues('Style Sheet'): ## Check the TITLE of "i" against a preset variable and aparameter if i.title = DAYYEAR and i.stylesheetrequest == stylesheetrequest: ### At this point I have all the variables (47 total) except the ID :( This works - I get the proper Style Sheet.... I would *like* to then call a DTML Method against the values in the NAMESPACE of the object I found in the code above..... something like return container.StyleBook.i.loadStyle() but every variation I have tried doesnt work - I get an error telling me that "i" is not in the global NameSpace.... Could someone PLEASE help me through this one? I know it is probably very simple, but it is evading me...
