saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
by Allen Huang 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

This is a problem a got a lot and I never able to seem to solve it. I want save or create a object to a specific folder or other folderish object, I ask the user for the id of that folder or folderish object I store the id name in a variable 'name' the problem is I know the type of the folder or folderish object but 'name' is a str object and I can't use command like name.manage_addFile(). The server just tells me that name is a str which contains no function manage_addFile(). I always end up doing a <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "getId() == name"> do something.... </dtml-if> </dtml-in> this is very ineffecient when you have a lot of data. Is there a ways I could do something like "getFolder( name ).doSomething()". Is there anything like that in dtml? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: [Zope] problem with createing a product object using dtml

Thanks for Replying Andreas.. but I found the problem... it was at the <dtml-call "manage_addShpTypePoint"> I forget that I was calling a python method that required 4 argument in the parenthesis. If I were to do it using python scripting (do you mean internal or external methods or python scripting) what would it look like? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0(a)yahoo.com>; Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 9:52:36 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] problem with createing a product object using dtml --On 6.

Use a PythonScript instead. There is no need to use DTML at this point. -aj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

problem with createing a product object using dtml
by Allen Huang 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I created a product using python scripting and worked fine when I create it from the pulldown add menu. But when I try to use <dtml-let number=sequence-index> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ShpType']"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[0])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('x',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[1])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('y',readShpPoint(shpPath,number)[2])"> <dtml-call "manage_addShpTypePoint"> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> it didn't create an product object. what am I missing here?? ShpType - the product name readShpPoint - external method manage_adShpTypePoint - constructor method in the product. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

LDAPUserFolder Question
by Sean Duffy 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hi, I have LDAPUserFolder 2.6 on Zope 2.9.5-Final. Everything is working as expected, but there is one thing I'm not clear on. I've added uid as User ID to the LDAP Schema, and am using it as the Login Name Attribute. The authentication works flawlessly. Under User ID Attribute I have Canonical Name (cn). That should be returning the full name of the user. However when I use something like: <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set( 'User_Name',REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())"> I get the uid and not the cn. Any idea how I can get the cn? Thanks, Sean

Make folder's default view the contents of an item based on latest date
by Praful Kapadia 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hi I'm using Plone 2.5.1 on Mac OSX 10.4 and Win XP. I have the following folder structure: Daily News All Archive 2006 Jan Feb ... Jan, Feb, etc are smart folder that select items based on their effective date. This allows news items to be automatically classified. I'd like users to add items to folder All. When users click Daily News, I'd like the most recent item to be shown. I don't want a link to the most recent item but its contents so Daily News always shows the contents of the most recent news item. Someone suggested adding a smart folder (say, Latest) under Daily News and letting it pick items. Then make Latest the default content item for Daily News. This however results in the items being shown as a list of links in Daily News. I want the content of the latest always visible under Daily News. Any suggests? If I have to code something, please provide clues. I've developed in many languages but not Python (I'm going through Python in a Nutshell, at the moment). Thanks Praful

Limit size download file in Zope wih LocalFS
by Alan 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi List! I got a problem. I found out that any file located in a LocalFS folder bigger than 128 Kb (precisely 131071 bytes) cannot be download from zope portal since the administrator move it over apache. I mean, I can download a pdf file of 8 Mb from Plone, but I cannot download any file from a LocalFS area bigger than the value above. This issue sounds very unusual to me and I am not completely sure if I am reporting fine, specially because I am not the zope server administrator, I just have a plone account to develop a product. I hope someone else can help me here, any hint would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance. Cheers and Happy New Year 2007.

resolved: acl_users
by Sean Duffy 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, Andreas has pointed out that my personal os.bias module has prevented me from producing pythonically correct code. Please note the replacement of z1[:-1] with z1.strip() below. Then an external method (LoadUsers) to read it: def LoadUsers(self): f=open('/var/lib/zope/Extensions/usr_pwd.txt', 'r') y=f.readlines() return y And a script (user_load): ## Script (Python) "user_load" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace=_ ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## y=context.LoadUsers() p=[] for x in y: z=x.split(' ') z0=z[0] z1=z[1] z1=z1.strip() acl = container.restrictedTraverse( '/foobar/acl_users' ) acl.userFolderAddUser( z1, z0, p, '' ) return 0 Sean

solved: acl_users
by Sean Duffy 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, Thanks to Robert & Alexis I have a working solution: First I made a text file (usr_pwd.txt) in the form of password space username, and placed it (temporarily) in the Extensions directory. Then an external method (LoadUsers) to read it: def LoadUsers(self): f=open('/var/lib/zope/Extensions/usr_pwd.txt', 'r') y=f.readlines() return y And a script (user_load): ## Script (Python) "user_load" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace=_ ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## y=context.LoadUsers() p=[] for x in y: z=x.split(' ') z0=z[0] z1=z[1] z1=z1[:-1] acl = container.restrictedTraverse( '/foobar/acl_users' ) acl.userFolderAddUser( z1, z0, p, '' ) return 0 Sean

attribute-less object(assign or del)
by Kate Legere 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Module None, line 45, in copy_of_stats_output_branch <PythonScript at copy_of_stats_output_branch> Line 45 for j in self.sql.sqlGetStatDetailsSum(date1=i.date, branch1=i.branch, category1=i.category, timeCheck1=k): if str(j.sum_renewals)== 'None': line 45 --> j.sum_renewals = 0 elif str(j.sum_registrations)== 'None': j.sum_renewals = 0 elif str(j.sum_hours)== 'None': j.sum_renewals = 0 elif str(j.sum_reference)== 'None': j.sum_renewals = 0 When I have values returned by the sql call it works fine but as soon as I get to a field that has a 0 in it then I get an error... As far as I can tell I'm doing the assignment correctly ... what's wrong here? Kate
