Thank you Phillip. I modified the zope.conf file as you suggested and did sudo ./zope stop ... usual msg sudo ./zope start ... usual msg Then generated the error. The error log shows the same output as before. Not only should the line number be one higher, I also put a dummy variable name on that line to generate a stupid error msg. How can it not be getting to that code? I've searched for another Zope instance, but found none. Also, you are saying that I probably will never get the Control Panel back on this site with Product Management tools; no Product refresh then, I suppose. I'll have to thank the previous developer, as you suggest! (of course there is no documentation either, arrgh!) If you can think of anything else, I'd appreciated it. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I really needed another brain to bounce things off of so I can get out of the rut I'm in. You've given me some fresh ideas to try. Thanks.

surprising interaction between Javascript and Zope
by Dennis Allison 24 May '05

24 May '05

We have a need to set a session variable concurrently with a user submitting a form on a mouse click. I accomplish this with a bit of JavaScript associated with the OnClick attribute of the form: location.replace('/setSesVar?var=nams&val=xxx;frm.submit(); which does the job except that the setSesVar script is executed twice, a fact we discovered by monitoring calls to the setSesVar script. Once with an incorrect parameter, and secondly with a correct parameter. There is probably some obvious explanation, but I am stumped. Setting invalid values into session variables, even transient invalid values, can cause problems.

Managing Users with Postgresql.
by Fernando Lujan 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, First let me describe my environment. I have a Postgresql database that stores all users, and booleans which describe permissions. The users log on in my application using a WebForm, I run a ZSQL Method and set all permissions in the Session. I manage the security using Session calls, checking each permission and then allow or deny access to the object. I know that it isn't the best solution, and now I want to change it! :) Which is the best solution to solve my problem? I found pgUserFolder. But I'm not so sure if this will be the best solution. Thanks... Fernando Lujan

strftime
by Luiz Fernando B. Ribeiro 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hello, I'm displaying dates retrieved from a MySQL database using: <span tal:content="python: news['Date'].strftime('%d/%m/%Y')">Date</span> In a strange behaviour using strftime is displaying dates with 1 day past, example 10/05/2005 is being show as 09/05/2005. If i change the code to show the date as it comes from MySQL it is correct and if I change the code to not use strftime and manually retrieve .month() .day() .year() it is also correct. My locale in Zope is set to BRT and in console everything works. Zope 2.7 and Pthin 2.3 from debian sarge. Thanks, -- Luiz Fernando B. Ribeiro Engenho Soluções para a Internet +55 11 6959-7610

Create a list using DTML.
by Fernando Lujan 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, I have a array data type in my DB wich have the following format : {1,2,3} ( ids_test ). Now in my web application, I have a multiple select wich options must be marked as selected if the number is in the array described above. How can I make the above format be converted to a list of elements? For instance: <html> <body> <dtml-in searchIdsTest> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ids_test', '['+ids_test[1:-1]+']')"> </dtml-in> <form> <select name="id_test" multiple="true"> <dtml-in serch_id_test> <option value="&dtml-id_test;" <dtml-if id_test in ids_test> selected="true"</dtml-if>></option> </dtml-in> </select> </form> </body> </html> Thanks.
