AFAICT, the HTML elements which need to be removed together with their content are: style, script, noscript and noframes. At least those are the most common non-proprietary ones. My strategy was to transform the opening tag into '', and then get rid of '', but there must be a more clever way. I would love to have a fix for Dieter's CatalogSupport.py, since that module was intended for my first use case: to prevent indexing of irrelevant markup; it is already used by the DocumentLibrary product. My other use case, the display of a text-only version of a web page, also requires removal of all markup and markup-related content. Is there a reason for any of the HTML conversion modules *not* to incorporate this addition? I am just surprised that no one has reported it as a problem. Thanks to those who are contributing to this thread! Ken

tracker product with customizable report forms
by Marcus Bergmann 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello, in real life many users are not be able to give a report with all the information the handler needs to solve the problem. E.g. if there is a problem with the network connectivity, the handler needs other information from the reporter as there is a problem with installing software on a PC. I'm looking for a tracker product, where I can customize the report form depending on the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks, Marcus

cannot add STX Documents
by Marcus Bergmann 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello, I run a new 2.6.1 version and imported the user directories and the STX Document product from an old 2.5.0 version (via export/import not copying the data.fs). The existing STX and RSTX Documents are ok. I can view and edit them. But I can't add new STX or RSTX Documents. Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong? This is the traceback: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 126, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 61, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 201, in eval - __traceback_info__: REQUEST Module <string>, line 2, in f NameError: global name 'STX_Document' is not defined Thanks, Marcus!

Re: [Zope] Exporting Data to different Format

Hi, it is easy. Check object that you want to export, press import/Export button, and check "Export as XML" and "save to server" because browsers try to display that XX MB long page. Regards JL. ---------- Odesílatel: Yaser Ansari <yaser(a)lambenttek.com> Can anyone tell me whether its possible to export or convert the Objects stored in ZODB to another custom format like XML, NEWSML etc.

RE: [Zope] ZPT equivalent to the global HTML() ?
by Jean-Francois.Doyon＠CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca 07 Aug '03

Hello, This works great! Now I have a funny bit of a problem though, not a big deal , but a nice to have. I have a template like this: <html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master"> <p metal:fill-slot="main"> <span tal:replace="structure here/CookedBody" /> </p> </html> (CookedBody is extended to render ZPT, as suggested). The problem now is that the ZPT/TAL/TALES is evaluated in it's own world, seperatly from the main_template, which tal:define's variables I'd like to use inside CookedBody/EditableBody code (i.e. main_template has <html tal:define="variable expression">, but that variable isn't accessible when CookedBody is rendrered) Is this possible? Another way to put it: Would it be possible to get the tal:replace to actually pt() render the content of the returned structure ? This way I could skip making the Document ZPT aware altogether (One less Monkey Patch), AND I'd have access to my variables (less repeated method calls) ... Any insight on how to accomplish something like this would be greatly appreciated!

Its a bit more complex with ZPT than with DTML because a PageTemplate uses context from acquisition while all context must be explicitly passed in to DTML. It looks somehow like: from Products.PageTemplates.ZopePageTemplate import ZopePageTemplate pt= ZopePageTemplate('',template_source,content_type).__of__(context) rendered= pt() # render it Dieter

In my case, I am capturing/indexing from a finite set of web sites where these tags are never used correctly. Maybe it could be a configurable option for Strip-o-gram... Ken

Strip all HTML
by ken＠practical.org 07 Aug '03

Hi all, I want to display a text-only version of a web page captured with the DocumentLibrary product (no longer supported). This product uses the 'Catalog Support' HTML converter available here: http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CatalogSupport.html However this converter, like the others I have tried (Strip-o-Gram, as well as an external method based on striphtml.py), seem unable to remove the content of <style></style> or <script></script> tags. So I get plenty of hits with a search for 'children' or 'window' or 'background'... Has anyone else confronted this problem? I have also made feeble attempts such as the following Script (Python), without success: import string import re text = re.sub('<STYLE.*?>.*?</STYLE>', '', data) text = re.sub('<STYLE.*?>.*?</STYLE>', '', text) text = re.sub('<style.*?>.*?</style>', '', text) text = re.sub('<script.*?>.*?</script>', '', text) text = re.sub('', '', text) text = re.sub('<.*?>', ' ', text) return text I sure would appreciate some help on this... Thanks, Ken
