Startup
by Jason Leach 12 Dec '04

12 Dec '04

hi Zope: Is it possible to have a 'startup script' type of mechanism for a virtual site? I think ASP has one, it allows some things to be setup the first time a site is accessed. For example I would like to create a transient object folder in my /temp_folder to hold session data for each particular site; this has to do with my custom session start/end scripts. Thanks, J.

Archetypes fields in an associative link?
by Bryan Simmons 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Suppose I want 2 fields of an Archetypes product to be read-only to users and populated based on the value of a 3rd field? I want users to choose a project and have the charge number for the project and project manager to be filled automagically. My problem is that I can't tell what Archetypes field/widget would be best for this job. I was thinking that the 2 dependant fields could be bound to a method to get their values, but what type of field will hold a key and a bunch of associated values that can be altered in a form via some sort of widget? I'm relatively new to Archetypes. From what I've seen, this functionality is sure to exist already. I'm perfectly willing to write a custom field or custom widget for this, I just want to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel. -- Regards, Bryan Simmons "All parts should go together without forcing.

Working with subdomains
by Ian Nunn 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Hi, I've been staring for 2 hours at both the Zope book and the notes "About" in VHM and still can't "get it". I wish to set up my domain with several subdomains: www.user1.mydomain.com, www.user2.mydomain.com, etc. I think I would want folders user1, user2, etc. in the root of Zope. These would be the top level of the subdomains. What would a VHM mapping look like to accomplish this? In particular, can I use a wildcard setup so that every time I add or delete a subdomain I don't have to go into VHM and code the change?

RE: [Zope] Creating an image map in Zope
by Guidry, Wayne 11 Dec '04

I had to use DTML to pass the usemap parameter to the html <IMG> tag generated by Zope (Image Objects appear to create this for you when you call <dtml-var imageObjectName>. I was having trouble doing that. I figured it out now though. I didn't realize there is a property for Image Objects called tag that allows you to set your own parameters with it. thanks anyway -----Original Message----- From: Jens Vagelpohl [mailto:jens@dataflake.org] Sent: Fri 12/10/2004 5:04 PM To: Zope List Mailing Cc: Subject: Re: [Zope] Creating an image map in Zope On Dec 10, 2004, at 20:37, Guidry, Wayne wrote: > I have an image object I created that I need to turn into an image map. > Right now, I have the object and I have a file of the location of the > points (on the image) that the information will be mapped with.

Thanks Image maps have nothing to do with Zope, it's simple HTML you put on your page that makes an image into an image map. Google for image map and I bet you will find resources. jens _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Creating an image map in Zope
by Guidry, Wayne 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

I have an image object I created that I need to turn into an image map. Right now, I have the object and I have a file of the location of the points (on the image) that the information will be mapped with. I'm basically attempting at this point to use the HTML Map tag to create the mapping, however I'm not having much luck. Has anyone tried this, or know of a resource that might help? Thanks Wayne

Obrigado Jose Henrique, still that's not exactly what I need. Both the Plone book and Dieter's page are always good reference, but unfortunately say nothing about cookie crumbler. Knowing the basics, my search is for specific CC documetation. In theory, it has to be documented somewhere, as many people seems to be using it... Anyone can help? TIA again, Pablo PS: please include my email address in the "To:" fields as I read the list in digest mode.

Session Data Manager
by Jason Leach 09 Dec '04

Does Zope use acquisition (sp?) with the Session Data Manager obj? I have a few virtual sites and would like to add one to each site so I can customize the script that runs when a new session is started. J.
