Abarentos" <jiggs(a)mac.com> To: Zope <zope(a)zope.org> Subject: [Zope] MSWordDocument Hello Zopistas, I've been wrestling with Eric Barroca's MSWordDocument product for days now, trying to get the HTML version of a Word file to output on my DTML document. I've tried: <dtml-var name="MyWordDoc"> but it seem to only print "MSWordDocument instance at... ". I also went to the product's source and saw a method that looks like what I needed, getDocHTML. So I tried: <dtml-var expr="MyWordDoc.getDocHTML()"> but now it's giving me an "AttributeError". I'm relatively new to Zope and Python so I would really appreciate it if any of you more experienced Zope people could care to help. -- Angelo Abarentos, a Zope newbie -------------------------------- Angelo, I have also had problems with MSWordDocument, I get error messages saying that there is a missing file. I've done searches for the file with no sucess, so I gave up and looked specifically for something to do a MSWord2HTML, this is one I found. http://www.wvware.com/ I havn't tried it yet, and I will look to see what the error message was for MSWordDocument.

ZClasses and FTP/WebDAV
by Edward Pollard 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Can anyone bring me up to speed on why my ZClasses cannot be manipulated via FTP/WebDAV, and what I need to do to make them so they can? I was pleased to note that built in Zope objects perform admirably during FTP/WebDAV manipulation : I'd feared that changed files would revert to 'File' objects. (Irrational, I know). However, my lovely ZClass, that I've put so much time and energy into, does not work. In FTP - I just get an error when I try to replace it. (Downloading is fine) In WebDAV - it sees my ZClass as a Folder. Downloads it as a Folder. Wierd. I'll be happy as can be to get one of theses methods working. This is imperative as we use Dreamweaver as our site manager/editor. Now, I've found this: http://www.zope.org/Members/akendall/zclassftp Seems relevant, but old as can be. I'm going to compare the files it alters with the ones that come with Zope 2.6, and hopefully I can distill some wisdom as to what needs changing. But if anyone can shed some light to help guide my way, I'd appreciate it. Ed

getattr and acquisition
by Sylvain Thénault 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

hi, what's the way to know if an object has an attribute without acquisition? When I call getattr on a given object which has a parent with the desired attribute, it returns the parent attribute. Isn't there a way to give an additional argument to getattr which tell to use the acquisition mecanism ? -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB http://www.logilab.org

Re: [Zope] Getting a Mysqldb.Connection objetct form ZMySAQLDA
by Gilles Lenfant 16 Dec '02

Martin, Yes, it would be very useful to get a DB API compliant Connection object from a Zope DA. There are so many "goodies" for Python I can get from a MySQLdb.Connection object that are not available from a ZMySQLDA. The SQL query is built dynamically in a method of a Python product. I really need this to get from the cursor object some data I *cannot* get from ZSQL method (like the last autoincrement insert row). It's very shorter to write... cursor = dbconnect.cursor() cursor.execute("update mytable...", (data, data...)) Using the method you suggest is overkill. (why make it simple when you can have it complicated :-) Okay, I'm gonna parse the ZMySQLDA connection string to get my own DB API Connection object.

RE: [Zope] Exporting files form Zope into C: ? how

You can use FTP, by default on port 8021. Internet Explorer will work, and you can then drag and drop from there.
