One way to do it: Have the form call a python script that reads the database and populates the form during the form rendering. The action of the form could be another python script, which will update the database via a ZSQL method. At the end of the script, call the form again, which will then get updated with the new information. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: garry saddington [mailto:garry@joydiv.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 12:16 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Re:updating a form from itself I have a booking form whose contents are generated from a ZSQL method.

Re: stripping .html ending in an id

What I need to do is take the ID variable of a page in a dtml > method call and remove the .html suffix in order to use it as the title of > a page. I've seen several answers to your question and I think they are valid. I have a suggestion: Why don't you just write something in the field Title of your contents? I think it's easier and looks much better to do somethink like: <dtml-var title> instead of having to strip the id of your documents. Regards, Josef

LDAPUserFolder question.
by Braun Brelin 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

Hello, I have an LDAP question here. When configuring the LDAP User folder, The User Base DN looks something like this: ou=Administration,ou=Occupations,ou=Internal,ou=Personnel,dc=<MyClient>,dc=<Clients Domain> The <> are used by me in this e-mail to indicate the client and client's top level domain. I'm not using the real clientname, etc for privacy reasons. The problem I have is that the first ou, which I list as Administration, is really a variable, i.e. I could have ou=Administration, or ou=Finance, etc. etc. etc. depending on who logs in. How do I tell LDAPUserFolder (or LDAP itself) that the first ou is a variable field rather than a constant? I tried doing ou=*,ou=... but that doesn't work. Thanks, Braun Brelin ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

MySQL User Folder - adding additional user datafields.
by David Washburn 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

I am planning on using MySQL User Folder with a Plone member's only site. I have it working in ZOPE for user signin and that works. I want to add a number data fields for each user, typical fields like ADDRESS, PHONE, POSTAL CODE, TITLE... I need to be able to update and report the data from outside ZOPE, that's why I choose MySQL. While the documentation for MySQL User Folder goes into more depth than most ZOPE products, it is unclear how to best accomplish this task. I want to be able to load the basic user info (title, email, first name, last name) into the REQUEST object at login so I can display and use it throughout the site. There seem to be two methods (NOTE: This is a small site so volume of data is not an issue). 1) enhance the "User" table by adding needed data fields; 2) use the "MiscData" table to hold the data fields. I need the end-users to be able to update some of these fields, such as TELEPHONE. My questions: 1) Which is better storage approach - (1 or 2 from above)? 2) Where can I insert code to load the additional user data into the REQUEST object? It is unclear to me what modules are called when or after the user authenticates by either direct login/http or cookie login. 3) How does ZOPE know to map a user onto a user's folder. 4) I assume I can use any approach for SQL databases to allow the user to update selected user data fields (TELEPHONE, TITLE...). I am looking for a concrete example (ideally with some code to model my work after) or a HowTo to make this happen. Also -- is there some documentation on the USER object in ZOPE (and Plone). It looks like MySqUserFolder loads data into a USER object, but I am unclear how to use that to hold and get the information I am looking for. (I would be open to alternative approaches if the satisfied my requirements) Thanks, David ======================================= David T.

Re: [Zope] TTW + ZPT

It looks to me like you are leaving the 'id' form field blank, or, if this is a custom form, you do not have an 'id' field. If you created this html form, then add a text input field like this: <input type="text" name="id" id="id" /> This should allow you to submit the missing id.

Using external python functions from TAL
by Sean Hastings 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

I have been playing around with TAL, and external python products. I have no problem calling external python methods on an object using the root namespace variable "here". as in : <td tal:content="python:here.foo("></td> or on some other object that I find through that root. as in: <tr tal:repeat="object python:here.getObhectsList()"> <td tal:content="python:object.foo"></td> </tr> But I have no idea how to access a random function that is not an object method. For example, I would like to be able to have a module called MyProduct.Functions, containing a function foo(), and call it like this: <td tal:content="python:MyProduct.Functions.foo()"></td> How do I get access to this name space?

I created an addon Product that patches the prev and next methods and has another view. It works together with the OrderdObjectManager. So I can order the Photos.
