INSTANCE_HOME with CVS on win
by Projekt01, Roger Ineichen 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Hello together Can anybody send me a Zope 2.6 start.bat script on a Windows platform with Plone. I've troubles with INSTANCE_HOME, SOFTWARE_HOME, since PRODUCTS_PATH no more implemented on win. I use a different Products directory for my Products from CVS.

from Zope to filesystem
by Mark McEahern 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Filesystem Directory Views are used in CMF to enable you to manage stuff on the filesystem. Is there something that goes the other way? That is, how do you take a Zope folder and squirt all the objects into their filesystem representations (if the object has one)? Export doesn't fit the bill for hopefully obvious reasons. Thanks, // mark -

How to pass parameter to TALES function?
by Skip Montanaro 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Suppose I have a list of clients and a list of contacts. Each contact is associated with a single client. Both the clients list and the possible contacts lists can be long, though the contacts list will be longer. I want to create and edit projects for a user-selected client, so I have an initial selection form which displays all the possible clients. The user selects one client from the list. That information is then validated in the passed to the selection action. The overall structure of this part of my Zope tree looks like so: /project /add /select_form (Formulator /index_html (ZPT) /do_select (Python Script) /add_template (ZPT) /do_action (Python Script) /edit ... /form (Formulator) The edit functionality isn't yet done. It's there to show that there are two functions which will share information store in /project/form. Therein lies the rub. The process goes like this: 1. .../add/index_html displays the contents of .../add/select_form. 2. User selects a client and pokes the submit button. 3. .../add/do_select validates the choice and returns .../add/add_template, passing it the information it's calculated. 4. add_template displays the contents of .../form. 5. User enters other project information and pokes the submit button. 6. .../add/do_action validates request and creates the project. I figured out that in step 3 I could stuff the client's id back into the REQUEST with container.REQUEST.set("client_id", client_id) then in step 4 .../form can display a properly abbreviated list of contacts using something like: python:form.utils.get_contact_pairs(client=form.REQUEST['client_id']) This is fine as far as it goes, though it does seem like a kludge to me. (Is there a better way to pass that information?) If the user does everything correctly in step 5, we're golden, however, if he flubs I have a problem. The code to handle an error in step 6 looks like so: try: d = context.form.validate_all(request) except FormValidationError, errlist: return context.add.add_template(errlist=errlist.errors) This is in effect: try: validate inputs except: goto step 4 Unfortunately, when we get back to step 4 the new REQUEST object doesn't have a client_id field. At the point where I return in the except clause is is there a way to stuff the client_id into the new REQUEST object (which I assume has yet to be created)?

Error Value: sequence-var-get_size
by Zoper 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Hi All! How can I use the sequence-var-get_size variable? I have the following DTML Method: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr bgcolor="#CFCFCF"> <td>Type</td> <td>Name</td> <td>Size</td> <td>Last Modified</td> </tr> <dtml-in expr="objectValues()" sort="id" > <dtml-if sequence-even> <tr bgcolor="#DCDCDC"> <dtml-else> <tr> </dtml-if> <td><img src="<dtml-var sequence-var-icon>" border="0"></td> <td><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var sequence-var-id></td> <td> <dtml-var sequence-var-get_size> bytes</td> <td> <dtml-var sequence-var-bobobase_modification_time></td> </tr> </dtml-in> </table> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> but whenever I try to run it I get an ugly Zope message: "This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or variable sequence-var-get_size". What is the problem? Best Regards. Giuseppe.

Re: [Zope] ZEXP woes with INSTANCE_HOME'd sites
by GIMSPOP 20 Nov '02

Hi Chris, The traceback is for my productions site. Channel is a skin I have added. The exportation of this production site is what I want to accomplish in the end. However, as stated in one of the previous letters I have done the following test to ensure that there isn't something strange with one of my current Zope installations. The test I have done is to install two "fresh" Zopes (same Zope, same CMF, no other add-ons) on the same machine. Instance home the one Zope, leave the other one as is. Create a new CMF site from scratch in Zope1. Export it from Zope1, import it into Zope2. (I also did this the other way around). In both cases, the import shows broken Portal Folder icons and the site does not render. Only in my production site's case do I get the traceback. The fresh install test also does not work - it doesn't show a traceback, but just doesn't render - instead I get the standard Zope intro page. As if the portal does not have a default document. The above test shows me that either I am doing something wrong with the instance home setup, or there is a bug when exporting/importing CMF sites between instance home and non-instance home Zopes. It's a pain, but it would be great is someone else could test this (install two Zopes with CMF, make one instance home, create CMF site, export, import, see if it works) and see if they get the same problem.

Are you sure you're running the same versions of Zope/CMF/Plone on both servers? cheers, Chris PS: You're emitting HTML again, please stop ;-)

calling python from template
by David Bear 20 Nov '02

I want to call a python script from a page template but I don't know how to 'name' the script, ie I don't know how acquisition will find it. my script lives if /folderA/folderB by page templated list is /folderA/folderB/folderC I use content of listObjects to call the listObjects script in folderB -- but zope isn't finding it. what simple thing am I missing?

images
by D. Rick Anderson 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I can't find it and I'm stuck. What I need is an image 'server' of sorts. A single object that will render the contents of an image that is requested. I tried creating a document called imageServer.jpg that contained: <dtml-with images> <dtml-var "imageName.read()"> #also tried _[imageName].read() </dtml-with> I know that I've used that read() before somewhere and I'm thinking it was with a mime tag or something, but that should give you the gist of what I'm trying to do. An object, that I can pass an the name of an image that exists in a folder other than the current one, that will render the image in a format that the browser will accept. TIA Rick

StructuredText not doing punctuation properly
by Ramachandran Sreeram 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Hi, STX doesn't do punctuation properly. When given text like this: this is a "link":something. that STX is supposed to give: this is a <a href="something">link<a>. that But, I get: this is a <a href="something.">link</a> that This happens with all punctuation (period, comma, etc.) Mine is a stock Python 2.1 + Zope 2.6.0 installation (on Debian 3.0 tracking "testing"). I have checked the sources under lib/python/StructuredText and they seem to be using the correct regexes. I also ran the regression tests and they all passed. In particular, the "HTML regression test" passed without any problems. However, when I render a document on the actual Zope instance, I get the above problem. Any ideas on how to fix them? - Is it something to do with the regex libraries (either python libraries or system regex libraries)? - Is it something to do with what classes (or types) of the StructuredText module are being used in a "Document"? - Has anyone else experienced this? There are a couple of other problems also: - STX doesn't strip the indentation from code samples. I.e., after a paragraph which ends with "::", I have a code sample. The code sample has to be indented deeper than the preceding paragraph for it to be recognized. But, when rendering, the indentation is preserved, causing all the lines of the code to be deeply indented. I thought it was supposed to strip the leading whitespace (atleast upto the minimum indentation). - Tables are formed like so: |---| |a|b| ... Whereas, the documentation says, we must use "||" (which doesn't work). Thanks!

Hi, Try using : content of listObjects I'm not sure why the 'here.' part must be specified. Anyone ??
