combining all zope2 FAQs into one big one at wiki.zope., org/zope2

hi all it seems that there are scattered faqs or zope 2 abound (http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/FAQs) and combining them all in one site (wiki.zope.org/zope2) seems the best solution, imho. so, i'm trying to ask all site owners with zope2 faqs whether we can achieve this? help from the community is also welcome. a good place to start is to replace the current http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/FAQs with faqs collected from various sites and use a template such as zope3.wiki.org/FAQ However, since it's taken Ive created http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/Zope2FAQs to get the ball rolling. The stuff there are just place holders. But with the permission of site owners i'd like to start transfer stuff over. thoughts? comments? -- http://myzope.kedai.com.my - my-zope org

newbie -- creating a Product
by Aidan 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I'm a complete Zope novice. Forgive me if my question is inane. I need to be able to send an e-mail (following a form submit) with an attachment (and I prefer not to use DTML). I can send e-mails withOUT attachments, but according to this: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-May/159291.html I need to create "a simple product like this: EmailTools/__init__.py ------------------- contents --------------------------------- from AccessControl import allow_module, allow_class, allow_type from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.Header import Header from MailCrypt import signmail from email.Encoders import encode_base64 allow_class(BlockFormatter) allow_class(MIMEBase) allow_class(MIMEText) allow_class(MIMEMultipart) allow_class(Header) allow_class(signmail) allow_class(encode_base64) --------------------------------------------------------------- " This then will allow me to send attachments using from Products.EmailTools import MIMEText,MIMEBase,MIMEMultipart,Header,encode_base64 in the python script. (Without the EmailTools product Zope tells me I am not allowed to import MIME*) This is where my question comes in. I have tried to create the product both from the ZMI (which does not allow the creation of __init__.py's) and via command line (in ~/Products, in lib/Python, everywhere that the sparse and conflicting information I have been able to gather tells me). Doing the latter I can certainly create the __init__.py but the Product doesn't register with zope. Could someone give a quick walk-through (or point to an up-to-date source) on how to create this Product? (I am running Zope 2.8.6-final, python 2.4.3, linux2) Thanks.

How To Convert Files To Page Templates?
by Nancy Donnelly 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi; I'm redoing a bunch of documents on a Zope site on my PC and I realized it would be easier to simply delete all the old ones and upload all the new ones. But if I do that, they'll load as "files", not "page templates". I know there's a way to convert between the two, but I don't remember how. Can someone help? TIA, Nancy

Setting filename of files to be downloaded
by Ulla Theiss 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Dear Mailinglist-Members, we have a problem with the filename for files downloaded from our site. The files downloaded are dynamically generated. Therefore we have a product with a method "displayfile" which is called for each file to be downloaded. It is like that: def displayFile(self, ... some arguments ... , REQUEST, RESPONSE = None): content = # generate a file somehow fileType, enc = guess_content_type(filename, content, REQUEST) RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', fileType) return content The Problem is, that the file to be downloaded always is called displayFile. According the the content-type it is sometimes called displayFile.pdf, displayFile.txt, displayFile.tif, etc. But we need it to name according to the content some time hugo.pdf and another time Thomas.txt, .. How is it possible to change the filename? Do I perhaps have to set another header-entry in the response-object? Many thanks in advance, Ulla.

listing files in a LocalFS folder
by Alan 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi List! I am doing that: <ul> <li tal:repeat="item context/objectValues"> <a href="ABSOLUTE_URL" tal:attributes="href item/absolute_url" tal:content="item/title_or_id">SUB-OBJECT TITLE OR ID</a></li> </ul> And it works to list the content of my main folder. Within my main folder, there's a LocalFS folder (let's call LFSfolder). When using the code above and I can even click in LFSfolder and access its content. However, what I want is: <li tal:repeat="item context/LFSfolder/objectValues"> ^^^^^^^^^^ and link the content inside LFSfolder. But it does not work. Does anyone know a way of doing what I want? Many thinks in advance.

by zpforums.net Admin 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi all New website is up on the air and running at beta version for the next 2 months. The website is forums for Zope and Plone and will be the bridge between Zope/Plone users and developers and will close the gap between mailing lists, irc and internet search. In the next few days the home page will be Plone site with all information about the registration process, membership information and other general information. In order to prevent spam we may charge very very small amount of money in order to be able and make sure that all the users (Zope/Plone admins and developers) will use the website for that target it is. The forums will be very simple to use without any graphics or jumping ads. Direct links to the forums: http://forums.zpforums.net http://plone.zpforums.net http://zope.zpforums.net We open to any ideas for the website or new forums, so please feel free to contact me Ofer Weisglass

Re: [Plone-Users] Editing Tabs & Pull-downs...Second Reque

I fear you're right. And yes, this points to sloppiness on the developers' part.
