Multiple values
by Norlin Abd Rahim 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Hi, I'm trying to update multiple values in one form at one time. In the first form i've put something like this: <dtml-in sqlquery> <input type=text name=ab:list value=<dtml-var x>> <inpu type=text name=cd:list value=<dtml-var y>> </dtml-in> and I've sent the lists to another page that contains something like this: <dtml-in "map(None,ab,cd)"> <dtml-call "sqlUpdate(i=sequence_item[0],j=sequence_item[1])"> </dtml-in> but its not working....

Synchronising user-folders on 2 installations
by Marc Burgauer 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Hi Is there a way that I can automatically synchronise 2 user folders on 2 separate installations? I am looking for something easy. I know I could go through LDAP or an external SQL database. I haven't looked at these options now. I played with OpenLDAP about a year ago and got frustrated. (Loads of crashes.) I do not want to learn (yet) how to use an external SQL database with Zope. (Although I have loads of experience with PostgreSQL, I am new to Zope and I try to minimise my learning curve for now.) Basically Site A is owned by customer A. on site B, I run sort of a service, which is tied into the machine and used by many customers. Because of my "sloppy" code the product/service is tied to its installation and for now I can not copy the product across. On site B, I want to have a "local" user folder, which is always updated, when the root-level user folder of site A is changed. Any ideas? Cheers Marc

RE: [Zope] Superfast PageTemplates: Call for expertise
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

In know this is purely speculation, but what about caching page-templates in some intermediate format like ESIS, and writing a lexical scanner for the TALES structure in C/Flex with callbacks to Python for code evaluation and object traversal? Obviously, this isn't trivial, but I imagine it would be interesting...

I do not think so. > (I've heard that METAL is "slow" but they're difficult to avoid because of > their great functionality) I cannot confirm this. Someone started to code PageTemplates in C. I think, I read something about this in the "xml-sig" mailing list. A little less drastic would be to replace the "HTMLParser" and use, e.g. "sgmlop".

Yes, I know how it works. The problem is that I have lots of folders and selecting/discarting the objects on each one would take a long time. It would be easier if I could just say that I don't want to scan one or more subfolders, but I want to go through the rest.

Options for Server Side Includes
by Edward Pollard 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

As part of the process of migrating content from other web servers to Zope I'm faced with a bit of a puzzle in regards to handling the server side includes used on the old system. I've found some comprehensive discussion on SSI with DTML, but we're only using Page Templates. I, of course, understand that tal:replace can be used, but I'm wondering if there are any other options. (Can't DTML be used in a Page Template? I thought I read that somewhere but it doesn't work...) The DTML examples are at least similar to our current usage. I'm concerned with the vast majority of our userbase who use server side includes, and if I can find a way to ease transition, well that would be spectacular. Anyone ever work on a problem like this? (We are running a Netscape server at present, so the SSI is of the format . I wonder if there was some way to get Zope to recognize this format...)

How to get image from DTML Method - alias RAM Cache idea for ImageTag Hotfix
by Jaroslav Lukesh 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Hi all, I want to create DTML method to make RAM-caching of ImageTag Hotfix. I was try to define cache engine into hotfix sources, but no success. But I think that it could be possible to cache via DTML Document, because here I could define properties which tell cache engine to cache object (image object does not have this possibility at least at Zope 2.5.1/Win32). So if I put binary result, not image name (=picture.jpg/thumb?width=300&height=180) of that mkthumb DTML Method: <dtml-var mkthumbpicid>/thumb?width=300&height=180 called as http://localhost:8080/mkthumb?mkthumbpicid=picture.jpg and if mkthumb method is RAM-Cached, then image tag hotfix is cached via this Names from the DTML namespace to use as cache keys: id width height option at cache tab. So all that missing me for hapinness is to know what to get binary (if content type will does not problem for Zope) from DTML Method. If I am wrong and RAM caching of ImageTag Hotfix is simpler than I imagine, I am sorry. Would you like to point me, please? Many thanks, J. Lukesh

by kevin bailey 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

hi there, i have posted this on the zope-db list - but was hoping i'd get more response on this (much busier) list... i'm new to zope and having real difficulties getting sql-forms to work. i'm trying to get up to speed with a new copy of the zope bible. however, what i need for now is a quick and easy way to add/edit/delete/list records in a table on a postgresql DB. is sql-forms the best product to use for this - or are there any alternatives? thanks, kev bailey _______________________________________________ Zope-DB mailing list Zope-DB(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-db

If you are trying logging in from another machine. Might be you need to check firewall permissions on port 8080.

Can't update properties of a custom product
by Thierry FLORAC 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Hi, I'm using Zope-2.6.1 with Python-2.1.3 on Debian GNU/Linux. I've created a custom "folder based" Zope product with several custom properties of several types : string, date, text, selection, boolean and tokens. When I try to update these properties from the common "Properties" page, I can read properties values but when I try to submit the form, Zope raises an exception : "String error: string index out of range". But everything is OK if I update the same properties from a custom form available to my site users !! This exception is not logged to the site error log, so I can't get any traceback. Thanks for any help. Thierry -- Linux every day, keeps Dr Watson away... http://gpc.sourceforge.net -- http://www.ulthar.net
