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. Parameters: orgin Python Script: url = origin.split('/')[:-1] return '/'.join(url) Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson(a)indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678

converting unix time -> normal time
by BZ 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

I have a bunch of IDs that were created using unix time.. ie: "958560950" and would like to convert them back to normal (readable) time so I can figure out when they were published. Found a good JavaScript version, but cannot find anyway to do it in Zope/Python. http://dan.drydog.com/unixdatetime.html BZ

folder.objectValues() help
by BZ 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

I would like to get back a list of objects, from a folder that have a parameter checked off in them: So, I would like to get back a list of items "Item Name" that also have been approved (check box value) These do not work: <dtml-in "folder.objectValues('Item Name') and approved" size="3"> <dtml-in "folder.objectValues('Item Name' and approved)" size="3"> This works: <dtml-in "folder.objectValues('Item Name') reverse size="3"> <dtml-if approved> But would not show three, if one was not approved. I know it is some little snipped I am missing.. BZ

any cleaner or cleverer way of inclusion ?
by Can Burak Cilingir 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

hi from a newbie to zope. i read about zope for my problem but could not find any solution which seems logical to me. i have a folder hierarchy which has "index_html(dtml doc)", "left(dtml mtd)", "main(dtml mtd)" etc in the root folder, and "my_index(dtml method)" in all folders. (index_html has <dtml-var left><dtml-var main>) when i add "my_index" at the "main" (<dtml-var my_index>)and call say "http://xxx/Something/Otherthing", i saw "my_index" which is at the root, not the one inside "Something/Otherthing". but if i write <dtml-in expr="PARENTS[0].objectValues('DTML Method')" > <dtml-return my_index> </dtml-in> i got the expected result, Something/Otherthing/my_index is shown instead of the one at the root folder. there should be a cleaner way ! any idea? thanks ...

Drilling into second-level object properties
by Dan Shafer 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

This may just be a case of over-engineering. But I'd like to see if I can learn how to fix this anyway. I have a Zope application. When using it, people we call facilitators create a new folder for a particular client interaction. Then as they progress through the structured interaction, each phase creates a new document whose only contents are a call to a DTML method that displays objects' contents. Each of these documents has a set of properties associated with it. So the structure is: Folder Document (with properties) <dtml method call> Now, I need to write a routine that iterates over all the folders in a given directory, examines the document called [caseID]info to determine if one of its properties (coach_id) matches the name of the currently AUTHENTICATED_USER. If so, display the folder as an HREF (that I have working fine) and if not, skip it. I keep running into syntactical issues. Dylan Reinhardt has already switched me on to the nearly undocumented prefix attribute of the dtml-in construct, so I've at least gotten past that problem. But drilling down another level in the object hierarchy is proving syntactically...well...challenging. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Custom Memberdata - Birthdays and date format
by Jim Barbara 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

I added birthday (type=Date) to portal_memberdata in the ZMI for my Plone site. I edited the My Preferences form to include Birthday. I then created a custom python script called getMember: roster=[] for member in context.portal_membership.listMembers(): roster.append( { 'id':member.getUserName() , 'email':member.email , 'birthday':member.birthday , 'fullname': member.fullname }) return roster And then I use some of the output of that script in a page template using the following: <table> <tr tal:repeat="member here/getMembers"> <td tal:content="string:${member/fullname}">Column 1 dummy data</td> <td tal:content="string:${member/birthday}">Column 2 dummy data</td> </tr> </table> The problem is that I cannot get the birthday date string data formatted with just Month, Day and I have no idea as to how to sort this data my month. --Jim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Reading contents of a Page Template
by Anitha George 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi All, I have a requirement to create a SiteMap for my site. My site is dynamically built from the Zope tree structure. Folder and Sub Folders need to appear as a tree structure and need to be sorted by name and date. I have viewed the examples in the Examples folder in ZMI and gotten a general Idea of how to get the files within a specific folder. But I need to be able to go through the whole set of folders and sub Folders and create the SiteMap and not just for a single folder . Is there some While- Do Loop which I can use to Loop through till I reach the Lowest rung in a Tree for each and every Folder and create a Site Map. Also Each of these folders has an index_html page template which can be linked from the SiteMap that is created. Each of the index_html files has a number of anchor tags. These Tags are for moving within the Page. I need to be able to include these Tage as well in My SiteMap ... CAN I GET THESE ANCHOR TAG LINKS ON EACH PAGE BY READING THROUGH THE CONTENT OF EACH OF THESE PAGE TEMPLATES? IS THERE SOME OTHER WAY TO DO ALL THESE ??? So Totally I need a SiteMap with all Folders and SubFolders and Anchor Tags to be shown in the SiteMap from where I can click and view these Pages ALL help is appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Getting the filename from a file upload
by hpinson＠indepthl.com 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

I'm uploading a file to a LocalFS folder. The upload part is working, but I am trying to return the name of the uploaded file for inclusion into a MySQL database, and am getting a Zope reference string returned rather than the file name. My method is: An HTML form with a file field called 'my_attachment' calls this DTML method: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('my_attachment',my_attachment)"> <dtml-call "manage_upload(my_attachment, id='',action='manage_workspace')"> Which uploads a file and returns the value: 'ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0xaa04964' How might I return the filename of the uploaded file rather than, or in addition to, this string?

Object retrieval syntax
by Michael Long 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi, I noticed that if an object's id begins with a numeric character then the syntax to retrieve the object must be *container['1']* otherwise the syntax to retrive the item may be either *container['myID']* or *container.myID*. Why is this? Thanks, Mike
