string manipulation problem
by Greg 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

I simply need to remove the leading x amount of characters from a string. I have a username that looks like this: ADOMAIN\jsmith This is on my NT network of course. I would like to display only: jsmith I tried using string.split, but I keep receiving errors. This is the code I am trying now. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('authU', _.string.split(AUTHENTICATED_USER, '\\')[-1])"> <dtml-var authU> I'll be using that variable elseware too. Thanks for you help!

Xron ready for production? Anyone using it live?
by Johan Carlsson [Torped] 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

Hi All, I'm interested in starting to maintain Xron, if it has potential to be a stable products. From the code it doesn't seem to do any strange things, but I would like to know if anybody has experience of using it in a production environment, or any other experiences and that would recommend not using it in a production environment. The central feature I'm interested in is the ability to setup packing policies inside Zope. I know many people uses Cron or Scheduler but I like to have a platform independent solution and preferably one inside the Zope process.

dtml-if and checkboxes
by Hires, Russell (CAP, CARD) 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

Hey All, I'm experimenting with zope again, playing with the REQUEST object and form objects. In my latest delimma, I've got the following snippet: <dtml-if expr="check_box == ('on')"> The check box is checked! </dtml-if> What I don't get: if the checkbox is checked in the form, then this works, and I get the output. If it isn't checked, then I get an error saying that the checkbox ("check_box" in the form) isn't defined. This is borne out as well by <dtml-var expr="REQUEST.form">, which shows a text box's name and the value that it holds (whether it holds a value or not), and the checkbox's name and value ('on'), when it's checked. If it isn't checked, it isn't there at all. So, I guess I'm going to have to look to see whether it's there or not, right? How would I do that? Thanks for the help! Russell

newbie question:accessing a method of a Product
by Alexandre Gillet 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

Hi, I am a newbie in developping with zope. I am trying to set a webpage where I can upload a image by calling the EasyImage product. How can I call addEasyImage from a dtml document? I need to do something like: <dtml-var addEasyImage> but for that I need to be in the right namespace? I can't figure out how to do it! My webpage should display the upload form of an image object. Any hints welcome. Thanks Alex -- o Alexandre Gillet email: gillet(a)scripps.edu / The Scripps Research Institute, o Dept.

RE: [Zope] xron post install problem

I would change it so all of the files are readable by the user that runs zope - zope in your case.

[Charlie Reiman] > Actually, this will work although it is wordy. <dtml-if > somevar> is special and will evaluate to false if somevar is > not defined. Ah, I did not know that. Nice. Javascript is like that - undefined variables return "undefined" which (along with null, 0, and "") evaluates to false for logical tests, so using Javascript's short-circuit logical evaluation, you can do things like if (theVar && theVar.property){ // the variable and its property both exist } >This is very different from <dtml-if "somevar"> > which will throw and exception if somevar is not defined. > Right. > Having said that, using has_key is a lot cleaner. > Cheers, Tom P

Well, I got one better: ><dtml-if check_box> The check box is checked! </dtml-if> This works because if it's checked, then it's there. If it isn't checked, it isn't there, and it fails. So no output. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.

No, because if the checkbox is not checked then there will be no such variable in the REQUEST, so the if test will fail. This is how forms work, as Jim Penny just said. You have to check for the existence of the variable by name. Cheers, Tom P
