How do I eval a variable within the acquisition path?
by Tim Nash 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

I apologize for the question (the zope area of my brain must need coffee) but I can't find the answer in the zope book or in any of the scripts posted to the zope cookbook. I want to use a variable in a acquisition path. So for example, from the zope book on scripts, imagine that vaccinateplan() printed out a specific animals vaccination plan. Now instead of saying 'LargeAnimals' and 'hippo' like so: print context.Vet.LargeAnimals.hippo.vaccinateplan() I want to do like this: category = REQUEST.form['category'] animal = REQUEST.form['animal'] print context.Vet.category.animal.vaccinateplan() but I get an Attribute Error. How do I eval a variable within the acquisition path? Thanks, Tim

asynchronous MailHost

I just read about the latest changes to MailHost: http://blog.zopyx.com/blog_ajung/archive/2007/08/19/zopes-mailhost-overhaul… I'm currently using MaildropHost to do async delivery and would like to streamline that setup if possible. Can the latest MailHost be dropped into Zope 2.9.8? -- Sean Fulmer wsfulmer(a)gmail.com

cannot access POST content in Zope
by Manuel Spuhler 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hello, I am trying to record the result of a POST request sent to Plone. I can get the content of the POST when I send the file post.xml (valid xml) curl http://elevator.sytes.net/RSR/setSMS -d @post.xml In this case, CONTENT_TYPE headers is set to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' by curl. but the content of the POST is empty when I do curl http://elevator.sytes.net/RSR/setSMS -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @post.xml I'm working on integrating SMS on Plone, and the external system sends me a text/xml header, text/xml is the right type, I think, according rfc 3023 I have been tracking the frames through tcpdump and the request looks good before zope. I have then parsed the code of Zope to find where I could change this, but I can't figure it out for the moment, and maybe it's something which need to be changed. Could you help me to fix this please? Best regards Manuel Spuhler www.rsr.ch Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, Plone 2.5.3

URL_Rewrite

I have this line of code: <a tal:define="std modules/Products.PythonScripts.standard; url_quote nocall: std/url_quote; x python:url_quote(here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)" tal:attributes="href string:${here/renumberTheCart/absolute_url}?doc=${x}">test</a> but I get this error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: name 'CheckOutAfterEditStuff' is not defined So I tried this: <a tal:define="std modules/Products.PythonScripts.standard; url_quote nocall: std/url_quote; x python:url_quote(here/Our_Store/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)" tal:attributes="href string:${here/renumberLarimanCart/absolute_url}?doc=${x}">test</a> and I got the same error, although now it can't find "Our_Store". Now, "Our_Store" is the container for this PT and "CheckOutAfterEditStuff" is in the same container. What am I doing wrong?

Zope 3 Foliage Sprint
by Stephan Richter 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi everyone, it has been over a year, since we had a conference-independent fully Zope 3 focused sprint. And I think it is time to have one! :-) Thanks to JSA Tech, there will be a sprint between September 24-28, 2007 right in the center of historical Concord, Massachusetts. We have reserved a big room where we can easily fit 35 people. For details, go to the link below: http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/FoliageSprint Now that some fairly large Zope 3 projects are in production, this will be a great opportunity to share our experiences, to learn from each other and discuss new directions that we would like to go. Upon request, I will also give some of my Zope 3 training sessions during the sprint. So I envision the sprint to be interesting for any level of Zope 3 developer, from the beginner to the expert. So sign up now! Just add yourself to the list of participants in the Wiki or send me an E-mail, if you can't. Regards, Stephan

This is another problem. You need to import url_quote in order to use it But my help was about the error you send See u 2007/8/16, tonylabarbara(a)aol.com <tonylabarbara(a)aol.com>: > > Your solution didn't work.

Another "Structure" Problem
by tonylabarbara＠aol.com 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi; I can work around this one, but it's not as elegant and will waste an hour or so. Here's the problem I'd like to resolve. I have this line of code: <a tal:attributes="href string:${here/renumberTheCart/absolute_url}?doc=${here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff}">test</a> The problem is that "doc" comes back with all the special characters in ASCII: <a href="http://203.223.152.46:8080/lariman.com/s/renumberTheCart?doc=<div>&lt… type="hidden" name="redirect_cmd" value="_cart"> etc. Is there a way to work around this?

ExternalFile can't read mapped network drive
by Ken Ara 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hi, In a Windows2003 Server environment, we have been unable to get ExternalFile to read a mapped network drive that is otherwise visible from this machine. We have given admin rights to the Zope service, "Zope instance at C:\Zope\Instance\2.10.4" (uses "C:\Zope\2.10.4\Python\PythonService.exe"). Have we missed something? Attempting to add an ExternalFile batch (manage_addBatchViaGui) fails with the error: /// ERROR: directory ''Z:'' does not exist or is not readable. No action taken. /// This error is not logged in error_log, so there's no better traceback. Can this be made to work? Thanks!
