Our host uses nginx, not apache. We can still do this w/ nginx configuration, but it means maintaining a configuration file rather than application code (which in my experience is more flexible/maintainable). Right now I'm just exploring options, so I'd still like to know how I can do this with Zope. Thanks, David > > -aj > >

For release files, change logs, installation instructions and more please visit http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-2.1.1. Roadmap and release information can be found at http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/docs/roadmap.

Defining a Variable
by Victor Subervi 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi; I have this in a page template: <html> <body> <table> <tr> <td tal:define="num python:here.scripts.getQuote"> <span metal:use-macro="here/en-us/quotes/?num/macros/quote" /><br /> <div align="center"> <span class="text"> <a href="quotes.pt" target="_top"><b>The quotes</b></a> </span> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </body> <html> Now, I thought that was the correct way to call the variable "num" (that is, with the question mark: "?num"). Apparently, I'm mistaken. I've even tried defining it this way: <td tal:define="num python:str(11)"> to make sure that num was properly assigned. What am I missing? Also, if I have a dir called "scripts" in which "getQuote" exists, and "scirpts" is in the path, shouldn't that notation work okay? TIA, Victor

Best Practice for including Javascript in Zope Applications
by Matt Hollingsworth 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hello, I'm new to developing for zope, and I have a quick question regarding some best practices when using Javascript in zope applications. I would like to use Ext JS (http://www.extjs.com/ ) in an application that I am writing. It is a fairly extensive library, so I didn't really want to copy/paste every single file into a dtml method. I looked all over the place for some discussion on this subject, but only found things relating to plone (which apparently has a javascript registry); however, I wish to stay away from plone for this particular application. What should I do to use these libraries? Is there a canned solution for this sort of thing? Thank you much! -Matt

looking for an easier way
by David Bear 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I'm writing an exteranl method to store data into a sql data base. In my first attempts to do this I just had an external method dump whatever zope gave it to a text file, then looked. I came up with the following to split up the data the zope handed the external method and store it an sql. This works. However, I'm thinking there must be an easier way to capture what zope hands and external method. Here's what I'm using now: def ddmapper(data): ''' maps dictionary keys and vals handed from zope to dictionary keys and vals which are attribute names of the table use to store the data puts a pickle of all data into a zo -- zopeobject nonce is a uniquifier ''' now = DT.now() pbuf = sio.StringIO() pickle.dump(data, pbuf) nonce = '%s:%s:%s:%s' % (now.year, now.month, now.day, now.second) attribs = dict(fname=data['first-name'], lname=data['last-name'], email=data['email-address'], studentid=data['student-id-number'], accomodations=data['will-special-assistance-be-required'], describe=data['describe-special-accomodations-needed'], degree=data['degree'][0], number=data['number-attending'], key=nonce, zo=pbuf.getvalue() ) del(pbuf) del(now) return attribs There must be an easier way to 'know' what zope is giving me and grab the correct dictionary that has the form data in it. anyone have any pointers? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
