dtml-in format
by Ben Bush 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

I would like to use dtml-in to iterate through some results in a python script. I am not sure what format I need to put the results into in my python script to be able to reference them in the <dtml-in> tags. I am currently trying to return a dictionary but that does not seem to work. Here is how I have it setup. I have a DTML-method with a DTML-IN block that trys to printout the <dtml-var name> variable. <dtml-in currentItems> <dtml-var name> </dtml-in> The object currentItems is a python script. Here is a copy of it. I print out the return results and it goes back as a list with a dictionary per item. ## Script (Python) "current_items" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## # Get a list of the current items in the cart and return it back in a table format # Provide access to session data session=context.REQUEST.SESSION # Only get items if the cart has been established if session.has_key('cart'): cart=session.get('cart', {}) cart_items=[] # Lets loop through our cart and get each item for product_id, quantity in cart.items(): item=context.get_item(product_id=product_id).dictionaries() for record in item: record['quantity']=quantity #print record, "<br>" cart_items.append(record) print cart_items return printed #return cart_items else: # No Cart established, no need to return anything return Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using ZPT with options/radio/checkboxes
by Chris Bruce 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Is there an easy way to use TAL/TALES to set the checked values of radios and checkboxes and the selected attribute of options? I am trying to find a clean example. For Instance: <select name="question_type" id="question_type"> <option value="Text" selected="selected">Text</option> <option value="TextArea">TextArea</option> <option value="ListSingle">ListSingle</option> <option value="ListMulti">ListMulti</option> <option value="ComboSingle">ComboSingle</option> <option value="Option">Option</option> <option value="Checkbox">Checkbox</option> </select> If the question_type was in the REQUEST object, how would I evaluate which one was selected? Same goes for radio buttons: <input type="radio" name="required" value="1" /> Yes <input name="required" type="radio" value="0" checked="checked" /> No and the 'required' was in the REQUEST object. I am trying to do this using TAL/TALES only. Thanks for any suggestions/code samples. Chris Chris Bruce Bionic Pixels LLC www.bionicpixels.com 323-660-8444 323-650-9926 fax 964 1/2 N.

Newbie question about zodb and script (python)
by Daniel Tartaglia 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

I'm pretty raw with zope so far but I'm trying to save information that is entered in a form, into a file. I tried pickling the object from in a scrip (python) and when that didn't work (because the shelf module was restricted) I tried using zodb instead but that module is restricted as well. I seem to remember reading something about these restrictions and how to get around them (something about calling actual python code?) but I can't find the reference any more. I have an zpt form to allow a person to enter his first and last name, how do I save the first and last name in a database file? The below doesn't work because I can't import FileStorage... from ZODB import FileStorage, DB class Person: pass storage = FileStorage( 'allDentest.fs' ) dbase = DB( storage ) connection = dbase.open() root = connection.root() # create a unique entry id id = '%d' % len(entries_folder.objectIds()) newDentist = Person() newDentist.id = len( dbase ) newDentist.firstName = first newDentist.lastName = last root[newDentist.id] = newDentist connection.get_transaction().commit() connection.close()

Re: [Zope] From FTP to FTP copy support?

Sory, server. > Can you try asking again, 'cos I couldn't quite parse what you're after... OK, I have FTP client with two FTP sessions at the same zope FTP server, but with different folders. One server client opens in active mode transfer, second in passive mode transfer. Data channell is not going into FTP client, only control channell. I was test it with sample files, this is OK, but folder and some files that I want to remote copy have error in creation via FTP (I must make it via ZMI). Result: Zope FTP server is able to serve that mode of access, but here are some known problems with objects creation. So I need to use ZMI :( Regards, JL.

Zope 2.7.0b1 - No New Product in Control_Panel/Products and other questions
by andre 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

I installed Zope 2.7.0b1 on Win XP Pro No problems occured during installation of Zope and Instance Home. I'm able to run both Zope 2.6 and 2.7 on the same machine using two different port numbers. I tried to test a 2.6's product of my own on 2.7. I copied the product in instancehome/Products and after having restarted the server, nothing happened. The product doesn't appear in Product list; no error messages, no special logs, I added a __init__.py module to the product directory. Same behaviour I copied the product in ZopeHome product directory I was unable to connect to the server. When i write a products directive in zconf : products $INSTANCE/Products i'm to connect to the server. When i uncomment the line, no problem. Finally i'm actually limited to products delivered with Zope2.7.0 Great but not enough :) I have no problem to run the product on Zope 2.6. Is there something special to do to install a product on Zope 2.7.0 Does Z2.7 use new style classes of Python 2.2.3 ? Is using interfaces with Zope 2.7 a good way to prepare a product to be ported to Z3. Is there another particular interest in using interfaces in Z2.7 except the above one and for documentation purpose ? Thanks, Andre

zope, curious http requests, apache
by Stuart Robinson 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello all, I'm having my second 'play' with zope, this time round however I've go it exposed to the world through port 80 (running on port 80), firewalled etc. I notices in Zope's output stream in the terminal window this evening a curious "ZServer Bad HTTP request: 'GET /default.ida?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%u9090% u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090% u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0'" ... which if I'm not mistaken is a deliberate or scripted attack? 1st question: This is nothing to worry about with zope, right? 2nd question: is runing zope behind Apache any help?, and if so (while I appreciate it is not trivial), what sort of things should I look out for? Does anyone know of an 'everymans[!] guide to setting up apache and not doing it the WRONG way'? (sorry that's probably my quota of questions tonight I know!) :-) Thanks in advance for any advice.

using "sequence-even" in nested "dtml-in" loops?
by Sajec, Mike TQO 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello, If someone can help with this, I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to setup alternating colors in a query built table. I'm attempting to key off the sequence-even variable to set the row colors. The problem that I'm seeing is that sequence-index always equals zero, which makes sequence-even always true, and every row grey. It appears that sequence-index is looking at the outer loop. Any hints? Thanks in advance, Mike <p> <table class="listing" id="contact_list"> <thead> <th>Name</th> <th>Position</th> <th>Phone</th> <th>Pager</th> <th>Cell</th> <th>Email</th> </thead> <tbody> <dtml-in sql_get_pe_ids> <dtml-in sql_get_pe_contact_info> <dtml-if sequence-even> #*******************HERE <tr bgcolor="gray"> #*******************HERE <dtml-else> #*******************HERE <tr> #*******************HERE </dtml-if> #*******************HERE <td><dtml-var last_name>, <dtml-var first_name></td> <td><dtml-var job_title></td> <td><dtml-var ext></td> <td><dtml-var pager></td> <td><dtml-var cellphone></td> <td><dtml-var email></td> </tr> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> </tbody> </table> </p>
