Sort problem
by Davis Mr MR 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, I'm trying to create a list of titles, sorted alphabetically, but want to sort ignoring initial stop words. I've set up an index for title_or_id, which works fine, but "The Resource" ends up listed under T. I've tried using a Lexicon, but these seem to only be able to be used for Text Fields, which can't be used in a sort. Is there another way to do this? Cheers Michael Davis

I think you are taking liberties with what I said. First, the server is not *THE* live webserver for Ford's corporate intranet, it is one among *many* and a rather minor one at that. If it were one of the main ones, there is no way they would let me run Zope one it (not an accepted "corporate standard"). In fact, the systems people here have been quite accommodating by even allowing me to run Zope. To answer your question, access to the machine *is* heavily restricted (I never indicated otherwise). That isn't the point. The point is that a (properly configured) named pipe *is* more secure than a port (even a localhost port) because the permissions can be controlled at the system level. So it seems reasonable (to me) for somebody to want to use a named pipe. In any case, I'm not looking to get into an argument about how well-reasoned our corporate security policies. I'm just trying to understand what the purported "more appropriate" alternatives are for PCGI. > Chris -- Mike

No module named GenericUserFolder
by Andreas Tille 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, I wanted to follow the hint about customizing the cache of an ZSQL method given in the Zope Book at chapter Relational Databases. When I try to press the Advanced tab of a ZSQL method I get: Error Type: ImportError Error Value: No module named GenericUserFolder Regarding to http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/GenericUserFolder it seems that this is a remainder from some previous code which should not really belong to Zope 2.6.1 which I'm using. Or is there any other problem? Kind regards Andreas.

Charset HTTP header switched to UTF-8. Bug or feature ?
by Gilles Lenfant 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, There's a strange thing in a iso-8859-1 (natural) charset site Zope 2.6.1 powered... A form is summitted (POST) to a TTW python script. At the end of the script, after form validation ... <sample> return context.sometemplate(param1=value1, ...) </sample> The "sometemplate" is published with this HTTP header : Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 When nowhere in my scripts/templates, I stated to use that charset. You can imagine the ugly things that are displayed :-/ I found a workaround: forcing the HTTP header of the response... <sample> REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1') return context.sometemplate(param1=value1, ...) </sample> Is this behavior a bug or a feature ? Note that with older versions of Zope (2.3.3) I didn't need to force the charset header like this. Thanks in advance --Gilles

Okey, I'll try to explain you. I have a combo box called "CboLocation" in my index_html page in the root folder of my proyect with some general information. I have a subfolder called "Add Data" where I have a page who add an entry to a database with some information. One of the fields that I need to add is the "Location" that I select in the first page, but when I try to load the "Add Data" page I got this error: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: KeyError Error Value: CboLocation --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Troubleshooting Suggestions This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or variable CboLocation.

wiki-how to add comments to top of page
by Joshua Newman 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi, On our wiki we have users entering comments with the comment box at the bottom of the page.. The wiki adds comments on the bottom after the last post. So the users have to scroll down to see the newest post. But with a long list this is annoying. Is there a way like squishdot, to locate the new posts to the top of the page? I haven't found the way to do it. Thanks. J

Session
by Dennis Allison 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I have a collection of session objects, each corresponding to an active users, each stored away in a session data container which is, itself, stored away in a transience object (aka temp_folder). For system monitoring purposes I want a privileged user to be able to look at the session data objects. The documentation (Zope Book, 2_6 Ed) is silent on this question. A first attempt at looking inside a session data container failed on security even at the highest privilege level. I'm assuming that access is only allowed from External Methods and Procducts, but thought I'd ask the group before reading the code and experimenting. -d

Hi, On http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/ZSyncer, the last version of Zsyncer is 0.4.6 and is 10 months old. Andym -the author?- also invites the visitor to pick the latest ZSyncer from CVS where there seems to have been changes committed less than 2 weeks ago. Which version should a newbie pick?

Highlighting bad data fields in Formulator
by Tom P. Allred 31 Aug '03

31 Aug '03

Hi, It seems like I've seen this question in the mailing list before but couldn't find it when I searched. I'm currently using code from a Formulator example to display input errors to the user. Here is the code from the python 'formaction' script. # Here we'll catch errors try: result = context.dataform.validate_all(context.REQUEST) except FormValidationError, errlist: print "I'm sorry. Some of the information you entered was either incorrect or incomplete. Please use the "back" button and fill it in correctly. Thank you! " for error in errlist.errors: print '' + error.field.get_value('title') + ': '+ error.error_text + ' ' print '' return printed What I'd like to do instead is re-display the input form with highlighted (say red) field labels and a message at the top asking the user to fix the highlighted fields and re-submit. Here is the code displaying the fields, again taken from an example. It is defined in a macro called by the folder's index_html.  <table tal:define="form here/dataform" align=left>  <tr tal:repeat="itemz here/dataform/get_field_ids">  <th align="left">  Field Display Label : </th> <td>  <input type="text" name="itemz" tal:replace="structure python:fieldobj.render()"> </td> </tr> It seems like the 'formaction' script will need to set some values for the error fields that the ZPT will use to set their label color. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks, Tom P. Allred Tom(a)AllredData.com
