html_quote problem
by Kevin Carlson 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Hi everyone, I am retrieving some text from an RDB to display on a page. My problem, a browser error, occurs when there is an apostrophe ['] character in the text returned from the database. My first instinct was to use the html_quote attribute for the var tag, but that does not work for an apostrophe character. Here is an example: text returned from database = "Test' test test" <dtml-var dbText html_quote> This still produces the ' character in the html. Am I missing something? Does html_quote handle this character? Using Zope 2.5.1, MySQL 3.23.51 Thanks, Kevin

RE: [Zope] DateTime DST query

That would be a nice option however I occasionally deal in fractions of a day so 31.5416666667 would round up to 32 days and not 31.5 days as I would require. >From what I can gather the Zope DateTime object is derived from the python mxDateTime module. mxDatetime instances appear to have a 'dst' variable which tells you whether DST is active or not.

Httplib and Python version of Zope 2.5.1
by Igor Leturia 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Hi! I need to use httplib library in Zope, but I need the http protocol to be HTTP 1.1. I've searched in www.python.org and I think that the httplib in Python 2.1 uses HTTP 1.0 and the httplib in Python 2.2 uses HTTP 1.1. Is that right? If it is right, then I would need Zope to use Python 2.2. I'm using Zope 2.5.1, but I think it doesn't use Python 2.2. Is that right? If it is right, then does Zope 2.6.0 use Python 2.2? If not, can I just change the httplib.py file in the Zope installation and use Python 2.2's version? I mean, are there changes in the API interface? Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

RE: [Zope] Zope on OpenBSD

Chris, Your script worked, but Zope does not allow someone to login at the console (as the output and process take up the screen). I tried modifying it to: su - zope -c "/home/zope/start &" But the process immediately dies. I thought Zope was supposed to start in daemon mode?

image thumbnails, etc
by AM 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Hi, I have a repository of images and videos. Does anybody know of any product/PyScript that allows me to create thumbnail of images on the fly?? I also wanted to take a snapshot of the videos and present them as thumbnails or maybe present the first frame of the video as a thumbnail. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [Zope] Virtual hosting with VHM

All, Okay I see that VirtualHostBase doesn't work unless it is seen as an incoming URL. Since I want to process incoming requests from one site to go to a specific folder, I tried the example rule: ucdra.ucdavis.edu:80/ucdra Which, according to the documentation, should publish /ucdra when ucdra.ucdavis.edu:8080 is visited. Unfortunately, it does not. Suggestions?

Joseph, At this point, I'm most interested in creating buttons, banners, and other graphic elements for some web-creating tools we're developing. From what I can see from the documentation for PIL and DevIL, it's possible to do some of this, but they don't seem to have the scope of features that the world of Gimp/Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro offer. I could be wrong, though. If anyone has examples on their website of using PIL or DevIL for sophisticated web graphic work that involves creating new images, I'd love to check it out. For ex, the simplest thing I want to do is to let a user type in text & choose between several colors and styles and then generate a bunch of buttons, which might be bevelled, plus a page banner graphic. Can I do this in PIL w/o driving myself nuts? If so, do you have any exs of what the code to do so looks like? I've seen posts where someone claimed that you can do this in PIL but I've never seen any examples & didn't see a relatively painless way to do it explained in the (very brief) documentation.
