ExternalEditor has problems with editors that detach from their parent process. I think the only way around this is to have an editor-specific plugin to deal with this. I think there is one for Word, but not for notepad. Try MSWord or gvim instead, or consider figuring out how to make a plugin work for the editor of your choice. I haven't done this, but I think there is info you can either google for or search list archives.

Re: [Zope] NuxUserGroups: workaround, anyone?

But how can I do this at the root level? Once I erase my acl_users folder, won't I lose access to my entire site?

ZODB: Are all handles closed?
by Ulla Theiss 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hello list, in our product (and additionally in an other process) we use separate ZODB-Storages. Opening and closing the ZODB several times the number of file-handles increases. We have separated the multiple openings and closings to the following code. It shows the increasing of the handles clearly. Have we forgotten to clear anything or made anything wrong? If not, has anybody an idea, how to fix or work around the problem. ----------------------------------snip------snap--------------------- from ZODB import FileStorage, DB for i in range (1,100): storage=FileStorage.FileStorage("TestZODB.fs") db = DB(storage) db.open() print "Open" db.close() print "Close" storage.close() ----------------------------------snip------snap--------------------- Enother nice behaviour we can achieve with the following code: ----------------------------------snip------snap--------------------- from ZODB import FileStorage, DB storage=FileStorage.FileStorage("TestZODB.fs") db = DB(storage) for i in range (1,100): db.open() print "Open" db.close() print "Close" storage.close() ----------------------------------snip------snap--------------------- It works about seven times. Then the programm hangs completely. Much thanks in advance, Ulla.

Zope 2.6.1 changed default number format
by Ed Crewe 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi, Rather than do uneccesary work can I just enquire about whether recent numeric handling changes in Zope 2.6.1 are intentional or might they be reversed? Zope 2.6.1 has changed the default dtml number display format from integer to one decimal place floating point. This breaks any sites that use dtml integer display. Was this a deliberate change? If so what is the recommended solution for replacing dtml such as <dtml-var link_id missing="0"> Should all dtml integer rendering be replaced with <dtml-if "_.has_key('link_id')"><dtml-var link_id fmt="%i"><dtml-else>0</dtml-if> or is there an economical way of displaying an integer in dtml?

RE: [Zope] XML
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Download and use ParsedXML product (v. 1.3+), which created persistent DOM documents; use standard DOM API to access, traverse, read, and write data from these documents. This will require that you have the PyXML package installed for the version of python you are using to run Zope in your linux distro (http://pyxml.sf.net) Note: PyXML is used to provide the pyexpat parser interface to the expat parser, included. You might also be able to parse your document without storing it in Zope without even using ParsedXML (it sounds like this is what you want to do?). If this is what you are looking to do, use the PyDOM dom implementation that comes with PyXML, and write a parsing script in a Python module; then write an external method that uses that module. This should be pretty easy. Get a copy of the book Python & XML by Jones and Drake (O'Reilly, 2002). Also, there is a Parsed-XML-Dev mailing list and a zope-xml list, both on zope.org.

I've been digging all over the site, and the docs there keep talking about adding an XML Document, but that option doesn't exist on my Zope server (2.6.0 on RH 8.0) and I can't find anything indicating that there needs to be a product installed. Simply put, I want to be able to grab an XML document with webclient() and be able to parse the contents of the XML using DTML.

Is there an easy way to tell if a Page Template is valid/invalid? (Meaning the same check that gets done to see if the red exclaimation mark should show up in the ZMI) Ed

Zope vs Twiki - Can someone provide a comparison
by Nesbitt, Steve 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

All: I'm expecting a showdown between those who want to standardize on Twiki and me, who doesn't mind Twiki, but doesn't want to move away from Zope/Plone. Can anyone provide a quick overview between the two systems. In particular: 1) What problem space do the two systems address? Are they the same space or different space? 2) Where does Twiki shine in comparison to Zope (with Plone) 3) What things are hard to do in Twiki that are easy to do in Zope and vice versa? I need a compelling argument for not converting my existing site to Twiki. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! -steve Steve Nesbitt Configuration Manager The Cobalt Group, Inc. 2200 First Avenue South Seattle, WA 98134 snesbitt(a)cobaltgroup.com www.cobaltgroup.com If it's automotive and it's Internet, it's Cobalt.

context of a for loop
by Fearless Froggie 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi, When you are going through a for loop, are you in the context of that for loop variable? Can you drop out of that for loop context and into the context of the script? Example: If I loop through a list of id's with a for loop and do something to each of these objects, I get a "You are not allowed to access editMetadata in this context". Here's the code (here I'm just changing the title of each of my items in my list 'id' to 'bob'): for item in id: item_object = getattr(context, item) item_object.editMetadata(title='bob') But if I do these changes directly, it works fine: item_object = getattr(context, id[0]) item_object.editMetadata(title='bob') So I'm guessing that the for loops puts me into another context. How do I get into the context of the object I want to edit? I've tried "context.item_object.editMetadata(title='bob')" and "container.item_object.editMetadata(title='bob')", but they didn't work either. My script in all these cases is my custom skins directory. Many thanks for any ideas on this. (And thank you once again for all the great ideas I've received for my past emails :) Rita. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
