RE: [Zope] ZPT equivalent to the global HTML() ?

Hello, This works great! Now I have a funny bit of a problem though, not a big deal , but a nice to have. I have a template like this: <html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master"> <p metal:fill-slot="main"> <span tal:replace="structure here/CookedBody" /> </p> </html> (CookedBody is extended to render ZPT, as suggested). The problem now is that the ZPT/TAL/TALES is evaluated in it's own world, seperatly from the main_template, which tal:define's variables I'd like to use inside CookedBody/EditableBody code (i.e. main_template has <html tal:define="variable expression">, but that variable isn't accessible when CookedBody is rendrered) Is this possible? Another way to put it: Would it be possible to get the tal:replace to actually pt() render the content of the returned structure ? This way I could skip making the Document ZPT aware altogether (One less Monkey Patch), AND I'd have access to my variables (less repeated method calls) ... Any insight on how to accomplish something like this would be greatly appreciated!

Its a bit more complex with ZPT than with DTML because a PageTemplate uses context from acquisition while all context must be explicitly passed in to DTML. It looks somehow like: from Products.PageTemplates.ZopePageTemplate import ZopePageTemplate pt= ZopePageTemplate('',template_source,content_type).__of__(context) rendered= pt() # render it Dieter

In my case, I am capturing/indexing from a finite set of web sites where these tags are never used correctly. Maybe it could be a configurable option for Strip-o-gram... Ken

Strip all HTML
by ken＠practical.org 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi all, I want to display a text-only version of a web page captured with the DocumentLibrary product (no longer supported). This product uses the 'Catalog Support' HTML converter available here: http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CatalogSupport.html However this converter, like the others I have tried (Strip-o-Gram, as well as an external method based on striphtml.py), seem unable to remove the content of <style></style> or <script></script> tags. So I get plenty of hits with a search for 'children' or 'window' or 'background'... Has anyone else confronted this problem? I have also made feeble attempts such as the following Script (Python), without success: import string import re text = re.sub('<STYLE.*?>.*?</STYLE>', '', data) text = re.sub('<STYLE.*?>.*?</STYLE>', '', text) text = re.sub('<style.*?>.*?</style>', '', text) text = re.sub('<script.*?>.*?</script>', '', text) text = re.sub('', '', text) text = re.sub('<.*?>', ' ', text) return text I sure would appreciate some help on this... Thanks, Ken

how to generically get a list of tables and columns from a db connector
by Elena Schulz 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, the browse-tab of db connectors offer a listing of tables and columns. How can I access this in python script independent of the db connection(without a sql-query or zsql_method). In the class db.py under class db there is a tables() and columns() method but I didn't find a way of accessing them in a script yet. Also a query() method should be possible to circumvent zsql-Methods more flexibly? Does anybody know the how to? -- Elena

Using ZReST in page templates or python scripts
by Alec Munro 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi List, I'm wondering if there's a way to use restructuredText functionality from within a page template or python script? For example, I am storing information in a mysql database. A fair amount of this information could do with the ability to be formatted. I am hoping I can utilize restructuredText for this. I provide a through-the-web interface for editing this content, and I would like to teach my boss + coworkers simple ReST syntax, so they can edit it themselves. I would then like the either store it as is, and transform it when accessed, or transform it immeadiatly after editing, and store it that way. So a function from python that would convert ReST to HTML would really do the trick. Thanks, Alec Munro

Batch Update/Insert Problem
by Chan YH 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

I phrased my question wrongly in my previous email and wished to thanks those who replied. I am trying to insert/update a table in a batch mode. The coding below is a simplified version. What I wanted to do is to INSERT/UPDATE a table (contact ) in a BATCH mode. The user will see a form listing (company) and select the option from table (person). Upon completion, the user a submit the matched listing to be inserted in another table (contact). I need some help in doing this in a BATCH mode. For e.g. if I have 10 companies with the selected persons in a batch to be inserted into contact table. Company name Person (company table) (person table) ---------------- -------- 1. company A Chan 2. company B Henry ... 10. company X Robert insert/update batch to contact table. Could someone give me some guidance?
