Hi Børge, I'm new to Zope myself, but I have had some experience of this with a custom application that I wrote. The users are able to customise certain aspects of my application then the preferences are stored in a MySql database. When the user logs in, the application checks their user id and password but also reads in their preferences. These are used to apply style sheets and other various bits of customisation. If Zope supports cascading style sheets this may be the way to go.

Hello! I want to personalize a website. That is; I have a welcome page with some links on, say link A, B and C. If a guest presses link B I want that to affect the design of all the later pages that this guest sees. However, if the guest returns to the welcome page and presses link C, I want all the following pages that this guest sees, to have some other look (the "C look"). I am not so good at programming in python so I guess my easiest shot will be to use cookies (please correct me if I am wrong:-)). Now, I found some example in the Zope book. If the guest chooses link B I could set a cookie using the following statement: <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setCookie('guest_B')"> and then later for the page design, use some "if" statement like this: <if request.cookies.has_key('guest_B'> (Please correct me if the program lines here are wrong:-), I am really not sure about how to use the apostrophe ' sign in these statements) But if the guest now goes back to the welcome page and chooses link C he or she will still have the "guest_B" cookie. My question is then: How do I erase the "guest_B" cookie? Now, I am also slightly aware of that there is some parameter option in the "setCookie" statement. That is: I could maybe have a setCookie statement that went like this: <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setCookie('guest', 'B')"> and then use or change the parameter to the cookie "guest" My second question is hence; if this would be a better solution than trying to erase the cookie as previously described. Thank you very much! Børge Kjeldstad

Formulator acts funny for 2-character options
by Jean Jordaan 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hi Martijn & all This code, context.REQUEST.SESSION.set('state_evaluate_items', ['yes', 'no']) in a state helper for this field:: evaluate = fields.RadioField('evaluate', title='Please contact me for a full evaluation') evaluate.tales['default'] = "form/REQUEST/SESSION/state_evaluate" evaluate.tales['items'] = "form/REQUEST/SESSION/state_evaluate_items" causes this HTML to be rendered:: <input value="yes" name="field_evaluate" type="radio" />yes<br /><input value="o" name="field_evaluate" type="radio" />n This is also the case for MultiCheckBoxFields and other fields with items. I'm assuming it has to do with this behaviour:: A list item can also be a tuple consisting " "of two elements. The first element of the tuple should be a string " "that is name of the item that should be displayed. The second " "element of the tuple should be the value that will be submitted. and that a 2-char string is misrecognized as a 2-item tuple, but I can't figure out where in the code it occurs. Where should I start looking? I'm using Formulator-1.4.1, but I did a diff with CVS HEAD and didn't notice anything that looked like it addresses this issue. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za

I see what you are saying. But we read..... **** MD5 Sums are 32 byte character strings that are the result of running the MD5 sum program against a particular file. Since any difference between two files results in two different strings, MD5's can be used to determine that the file or iso you downloaded is a bit-for-bit copy of the remote file or iso. **** So we both get the same md5sum for the image.... cd2ca5eb1c9c014844895b93339c0291 But the published string is.. 0cd2ca5eb1c9c14844895b93339c291 which has 31 characters (30 without the leaded zero). So........ can this be corrected? Gordo. -- Linux User No. 256022/// http://pobox.com/~gordo/ gordon.joly(a)pobox.com///

passing parameter to dTML-method from a dtml-method
by Paul-Andre.Duchesne＠sciencesnaturelles.be 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hello, I've created a dtml-method that do different things based on the value of a parameter passed. So, for example, my method is called test and when i try to invoke through my browser the method with the parameter and a value it works fine this way: http://www.test.com/test?parameter=value What I would like to do now is to call this method from an other method and to pass the parameter and the value programatically, so for example something like: <dtml-var test?parameter=value> how can I do that... ? I've tried different things like <dtml-var "test(_.None, _, parameter=value)"> but it seems it's not taking the parameter at all. How can I pass this parameter ? Thanks in advance for answers, Paul -- +---------------------------------------------+ | This email was sent using Frederick Webmail | | http://www.phpguru.org/frederick/ | +---------------------------------------------+

Yes-- that does the trick. Thanks!. I did not give enough information in the first post. Sorry about that -- so here is what I ended up with for my search results output: <div tal:repeat="result batch" > <ul> <li><p> Title: <strong tal:define="obj python:here.getobject(result.data_record_id_)"> <span tal:content="obj/../title">title of parent of record returned</span> </strong><br> Link: <a href="#" tal:attributes="href python:here.goUp(result.getURL())" tal:content="python:here.goUp(result.getURL())">Item Title</a><br> </p></li> </ul> </div> The goUp method is a python script that returns the parent container URL.
