Re: [Zope] How to Add a File Dynamically??---manage_clone-ERROR

Hi all, Could someone please help me out here. I am trying to use manage_clone to clone python scripts and Page Templates into a newly added folder into the Zope Directory Structure everytime I add a folder into the Zope Directory Structure If not manage_clone what other function can i use to dynamically add Python Scripts and Page Templtes to my newly created folder , like creating a microsite for registered members. For every registered member I want to create a microsite with his own set of file in it. But I am not being able to do it Using manage_clone in a Python file and adding it as an external method does not work as it is asking the user to Login to the ZMI.Then the whole point of my site is gone. I wanted to add a new folder for a registered memebr when he registers and create a minumum number of files in the folder which will give him functionality. This is excactly similar to what Zope does when adding a Folder Object.You can also dynamically add an index_html Page into it. Exactly simliar is my need..to add a folder for a new user and then add 2 python scripts and two page templates into the newly added folder. The maange_clone function requires a user to be logged in to the ZMI. Please help me out here. Thanks once again and Best regards John : Hi Phil , : : Thanks for yopur prompt reply .

To all, thanks again for your help, suggestions, advice... Haven't had a chance to try things out, but I believe 1-2 of them are what I was looking for. And a correction/addition: for DocFinder, Dieter, thanks. For DocFinderEverywhere, my thanks to Stefan. It's been a big help in speeding up my learning curve.

The best way to get around this is to create an external method that calls dir() with a given parameter. Troy Samir Mishra wrote: > Thanks Troy.

New to Zope needs some help
by A E Senior 20 May '03

20 May '03

I am VERY new with Zope and am trying to understand how it all works. My question: once I have developed something in Zope, how do I "upload it" -using the normal methaphor for web sites- to a hosting server/site? Help is appreciated! Antonio E.

I've installed Plone and feel the usual mixture of excitement and dread. Would someone please suggest the best ways of getting up to speed with Plone? (In addition to the tutorial documentation on the plone site.) Thanks again.

python functions and ZPT
by Andreas Pakulat 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi, got a small question here using the following ZPT: | <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> |  | <html metal:use-macro="here/std_template/macros/template"> | | <span metal:fill-slot="body"> | <span tal:condition="python: not here.is_logged_on()"> | <h3>Sie sind nun Ausgeloggt</h3> | <a href="index_html" tal:attributes="href request/came_from">Zurück</a> | </span> | <span tal:condition="python:here.is_logged_on()"> | Sie sind noch mittels HTTP-Authentication eingelogged. Sie sich müssen | eventuell <a href="/manage_zmi_logout">aus dem Zope Managment Interface | ausloggen</a>. | </span> | </span> | </html> I get an attribute error about request when opening this ZPT with the following link logout_form?came_from=http://localhost:9673/index_html How can this happen? I have not "request" within the macro, the only request/ object is up there in the ZPT. Another question: Is it possible to call python methods from ZPT, which are defined in a python script? I have several scripts and would like to hold them in 1 script-Object in Zope, as they all belong to the login-process. Andreas -- Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are wrong.

tal tutorial/cookbook
by John Kipling Lewis 20 May '03

20 May '03

I'm looking for a decent guide to ZPT, in particular TAL statements. I learn best from examples, so a cookbook might be ideal. Everything I've seen in the stores appears to add this on to the end of a DTML explanation, perhaps because that was established first? Any help would be appreciated. John -

Newbie: ODBC problems
by Linn, Daniel B - CIEP-3 20 May '03

20 May '03

Feeling pretty silly here...Searched everything I could before I posted this, but... I am unable to create a ODBC Connection. I fill out the id, the title, and the connection string, but if I have the box checked that says to open connection immediately, I get a 400 Page not found error. It does create the object. I can go to it and it will say the connection is closed. I can go to the properties and change the settings, but whenever I try to open the connection I get the 400 error. Am I missing something? If my connection string is the problem, is this the error I'm supposed to see? Thanks in advance, Dan Linn 503.230.3753 work 503.515.3593 cell Bonneville Power Administration US Department of Energy

I need help with site planning
by Ulrich Wisser 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hello, my new project will be a site for real time reports. Data from a database needs to be displayed on the fly. So far I have no problem, but the data can be accessed through several domains, and each one should have it's own design. We have a role based login system, but the access rights for every role need to be diffrent depending on the domain. (Role A from domain1 can see the report, role A from domain2 can't.) Which Zope modules would you use to build the site? CMF, Plone, ... How would you realize the AccessRights system? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks Ulrich

Hello, I have two folders /sub1 /sub2 and three dtml-methods /msg (prints "msg in root folder") /sub1/msg (prints "msg in sub1 folder") /sub2/test (&dtml-msg;) when I access my test method it prints "msg in root folder" when I use these URLs http://domain/sub2/test http://domain/sub1/sub2/test why isn't the msg method from sub1 called when using the second URL?

Thanks! I actually have the Zope book right in front of me but that didn't pop out. Now that I created it as a text index it seems to work fine.

A keyword is as the name says a keyword. Means: you can only search for existing keywords and you *can not* use partial words. That's what fulltext indexes are for.
