Okay, OS: FreeBSD 4.7 Stable I jsut installed the latest version of zope 2.6.0_1 from the /usr/ports/www/zope looks like my entire config and database got blasted. I didnt pay that much attention to the install messages. is there a good link I should be reading that is specific to FreeBSD'ers using zope? Thanks for your assistance. - noah -- Net Enabled (http://www.enabled.com)

Looking for variation of ExternalFile product
by Oliver Bleutgen 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

I'm looking for a product which allows me to manage files in zope which reside on the filesystem, and provide a natural way to be served from apache. As far as I see, none of LocalFS, ExternalFile, ExtFile provide a way to do that naturally - for instance by providing the 'precondition' property (to raise an appropriate redirect) or to allow an definable <a href="<something"> string to be rendered when called, analogous to the Image object. Is there something like that out there? thanks, oliver

How can I customize the propertysheet management interface?
by Fabio Rolando 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi everybody. I have a ZClass with a propertysheet with a number of properties. I have created my own MyZClass_addForm and MyZClass_add in order to give users an interface to handle the creation of instances of MyZClass and the definition of the properties in the way I want them to do it. Now I would like to use a similar interface when the user needs to modify the properties, but I can not figure out how I can modify the .../propertysheets/my_propertysheet/manage page. I hope you can help me. Than you in advance. Regards. Fabio

manage_addProperty(...) failure on DTMLDocuments
by Felipe Barousse Boué 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi all: This is all on Zope-2.6.1 binary install on Linux. It seems that manage_addProperty() is not working propperly when indirectly applied to an instance of a DTMLDocument (case "A" below) whilst it works fine when an explicit instance od the DTMLDocument is used (case "B"). Having the following structure: root- folderA Working Example "A": <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('item',REQUEST.field1)"> <dtml-with "folderA.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addDTMLDocument(item, nombre)"> <dtml-call "folderA[item].propertysheets.manage_addProperty('costo_frec', costo_frec, 'string', REQUEST=None)"> </dtml-with> Troubled Example "B": <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('item',REQUEST.field1)"> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addDTMLDocument(item, nombre)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.item.propertysheets.manage_addProperty('costo_frec', costo_frec, 'string', REQUEST=None)"> </dtml-with> Every time in case "A", the outcome is the same: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: propertysheets Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object * Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 126, in __call__ * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__ * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 76, in render * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 201, in eval __traceback_info__: None * Module <string>, line 2, in f AttributeError: propertysheets manage_addProperty works fine if a "File" is the object added instead of a DTMLDocument. Has anyone encountered this behavior. I believe it is referenced in the collector as issue # 444, (not sure tough). Comments are welcome, thanks in advance. Felipe Barousse

redirects & POST
by Dennis Allison 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

I have a form that uses POST to transfer it's output because there is a lot of text and because I don't want it exposed on the command line. The form gets processed and then wants to return the same material, slightly modified, to the original form to repopulate. To do this I generally redirect to the original form with the variables appened as quote_plus() quoted name/value pairs in the usual GET format. Is there some way to use POST in this context? If it's significant, the form is embeded in a frameset. -dra

User friendly templates
by Robert Jean 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

I am looking for a templating mechanism that would: 1) Separate the template (�class�) from the instances (�objects�) 2) Separate content from presentation 3) Separate locked and editable areas 4) Present a user-friendly (possibly WYSIWYG) interface to the author 5) Be simple enough so that designers can start being productive in 5 minutes (1) For example, the designer can create a �Job Posting� template with 3 editable areas �Job Title�, �Job Description� and �Requirements�. Then an HR person can use the template to create multiple instances of �Job Posting�: �Network Engineer�, �Receptionist�, and so on. (2) The designer can modify the presentation of multiple instances by modifying the template only (3) and (4) The author gets access to the editable areas �in context� (5) The designer can use something simpler than ZPT. It can be as simple as defining �editable areas� in a page. Dreamweaver templates are a good example of what I would like to achieve. Once we agree on markers for the editable areas, adding new templates should be very simple. I am new to Zope, so I may miss something. Does what I have described above already exist? If not, any suggestion on how to do that? Thanks, Robert __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

overwrite __getattr__
by Dragos Chirila 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi I have a class that extends 'Folder' and in this class i have a property of type dictionary. This dictionary has the following meaning: key = property id, value = a value (string or whatever). I want to use the catalog to index and search for this kind of objects. For each property I have an index in catalog. Let's say the dictionary is {'field1' : 'value of field 1', 'field2': 'value of field2'}. I also have 2 indexes named 'field1' and 'field2'. The problem is that when the catalog tries to catalog my object doesn't find the properties 'field1' and 'field2' for my object !!! So, I overwrite __getattr__ to tell it how to handle these properties def __getattr__(self, name): if name=='field1': return self.dict['field1'] elif name=='field2': return self.dict['field2'] else: -- How do I tell him to execute the default ????? I want to handle __getattr__ just for some special attributtes names 10x Dragos
