DTML call to self
by michael.ta�ag 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hi! I'm making an form which asks a user for his user name, password and password confirmation. If one of the boxes is empty or he placed a wrong value the page should return an error message and the form again. So I guess it's going to be a call to itself. But, how do you do that in DTML? Also, how do you call a DTML page inside DTML and inside a Python script? THANKS!!! __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute

DCOracle compilation problem
by Tomasz Rutkowski 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hi, Recently i downloaded the sources of DCOracle2, and i cannot install (compile) it under my Linux. I use gcc ver. 2.96-98 compiler and python2.1 We would like to use it for Oracle 8.1.7 under Linux. But the compilation fails, and it seems, that there are some incompatibilities among the Oracle libraries and DCOracle2. I attached the error message output in the file (out.txt). Could anybody tell me what is wrong ? Have you ever compiled DCOracle2 for Oracle 8.1.7 under linux (may be it is only the compiler, libraries at my box problem)? I would be very appreciated for any help from your side. Regards Tomasz

I am interested in developing with Zope. Is there a distinct advantage as to using Windows or Linux as a desktop system for development. I am willing to use either system. Thank You.

Zope on local machine and ZSynched to a server - could it be like Radio Userland?
by Heimo Laukkanen 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Blob, I believe in throwing ideas and dreaming together. After seeing Andy's Plone windows installer I began to wonder, would it be possible in future to have content providers running local Zope instances and replicate with xml-rpc to the web server. And with possible I mean as easy to use as radio. First features would be. 1) Easy to setup on local machine, doubleclick to setup, click clickety click and local service is up and running 2) Person can start to create local content right away, wether it is a blog or articles or news items 3) When ready and connected to the net, user can upload and send selected files or changes to designated server either published right then or possibly to a person's own Inbox from which user can select to publish them This would make the authoring experience same also offline. It would be nice to be able to be offline with laptop, make the content and layouts ready and just send everything to the server when connected. Think about email, while offline you can do the emails ready and then just upload your 'outbox' to the email server. This would be enough for offline editing - either for people who depend on dialup connections afrom home or are doing reportage for example on the run via GSM or GPRS. ( For you americans GPRS is packet switched mobile phone network, which allows also higher bandwith than normal GSM data ). Why am I interested in this idea? Well first of all the authoring on the run. With same tools and interfaces as online. Otherwise the content creation tools would be - most likely MS Office or similar. For content creators I believe it would be best, if the processes and tools are same - no matter where you do your publishing, online or offline. In a year or two or three or whenever - it would be nice to have something like Lotus Notes' replication, meaning user could download snapshots / replicate parts from the server to local machine. Edited objects would be replicated back to the server and edit conflicts resolved. This kind of replicated storage would kick ass and would make possible to create applications that could be taken to field within laptops and then again replicated to main database when back at the office. Any thougths. -- Heimo Laukkanen Oy Fountain Park Ltd Hämeentie 153 B, 00560 Helsinki, Finland tel. +358 9 777 68 161, gsm +358 40 759 1110, fax +358 9 777 68 100 http://www.fountainpark.org

ZCGI errors Please help
by Mark Poole 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

Hello, I have configured my zope site according to this doc: http://www.zope.org/Members/Mamey/PHP Which is a doc on how to run cgi¹s within the zope site to maintain consistency across my site. ³Serve PHP/Perl within Zope² I have the scripts running called ³DirectToCGIContent² and ³ServeCGIContent² similar to what the scripts recommend (my cgi¹s are perl). I have installed a siteroot at the local directory ( user home dir) because I am only running Zope on port 80 and apache running on port 8080. My ultimate goal is to be able to run perl/cgi scripts inside zope with one look and feel across the site no matter if I am running cgi¹s or zope. I am running the latest ver of Plone , CMF 1.3 If it matters I am running zope on Solaris 9. Here are my scripts: DirectToCGIContent script: from string import join def DirectToCGIContent ( self ): if self.REQUEST.path: # Build up a list of what is contained in self.REQUEST.path since # you are going to redirect the user to /CGIContent/index_html. Start # by adding the way you can access the CGI tree outside of Zope originalRequestPath = ['http://24.x.x.x:8080/cgi-bin/'] # is the user asking for a cgi script? if self.REQUEST.path[0][-5:] == '.cgi': # pop paths of REQUEST.path until its empty while self.REQUEST.path: # Remember the path components before you pop them originalRequestPath.append( self.REQUEST.path[-1] ) self.REQUEST.path.pop() # Is there a query string being passed to the script also? if self.REQUEST.environ['QUERY_STRING']: originalRequestPath[ -1 ] = originalRequestPath[ -1 ] + '?' \ + self.REQUEST.environ['QUERY_STRING'] # Create a full url to pass to index_html cgiScript = join( originalRequestPath, '/' ) # self.REQUEST.path is now empty so the user is going to be # directed to /CGIContent/index_html. That method needs to # know what the original request is, so pass it a REQUEST # variable self.REQUEST.set('cgiScript', cgiScript) # you also may want to redirect image requests to the CGI tree elif self.REQUEST.path[0][-3:] in ['gif', 'png']: while self.REQUEST.path: originalRequestPath.append(self.REQUEST.path[-1]) self.REQUEST.path.pop() # This is an image, so give it to a DTMLMethod that will # just serve up images self.REQUEST.path.append('ServeImageInCGITree') self.REQUEST.set('imagePath', join(originalRequestPath, '/')) ServeCGIContent script: def ServeCGIContent(url="http://24.x.x.x:8080/cgi-bin/" , username=None , Passwor d=None): return Client.call (url,username,password)[1] INDEX_HTML <standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has.key('cgiScript')"> < dtml-var "ServeCGIContent(REQUEST['cgiScript'])"> </dtml-if> <standard_html_footer> TRACEBACK ERROR section: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 114, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 159, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: CGIContent) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 127, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 473, in __call__ (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 159, in eval (Object: REQUEST.has.key('cgiScript')) (Info: REQUEST) File <string>, line 2, in f File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/DTML.py, line 29, in guarded_getattr (Object: index_html) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/ZopeGuards.py, line 47, in guarded_getattr File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py, line 853, in __getattr__ AttributeError: (see above) Z2.log output: HTTP/1.1" 200 369 "http://24.x.x.x/custb/CGIContent/index_html" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;

File uploading
by Pawel Lewicki 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

Hallo, I have 2 forms in my CMF site (but I suppose that is not a problem). Both of them have <input name="image_file" type="file" > field. I try to get the file name to add a file(image) with proper id. When I access str(REQUEST.image_file) in my python script one time I get the full path to the file and the second time: <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 020CF314> The first one is better for me for explained reason but the files seem not to be uploading. So it is probably just a name not a file. The first question is where is the difference? It's probably in the code but I can't find it. I don't know much about HTTP protocol but the first thing to check was the type of forms - both are "POST" type. And the second - how to extract the name of the file and have it uploaded in the same time? Pawel Lewicki

Although this does work using the .deb zope package I have not being able to get it to work on a install of the .tgz binary and I gave up trying to run multiple instances in different /instance-?/var/ directories with the .deb package when I tried due to this problem. Currently I need a /usr/local/zope/2.5.1/var directory for my zope instance to start so zope has somewhere to put pcgi.pid and pcgi.soc, with out this otherwise empty "var" directory I get the "ZServer Cannot write PID file" error. I have looked into this more and found that the Zope.cgi has all the paths hard coded in it, I assume this is form the install.sh when first run. I have deleted Zope.cgi since I'm not using cgi and it has solved my problems. It would be useful for this to be noted somewhere so newbies (and not so newbies) get a warning about it. thanks and have a great day. Steve Your Solutions Ltd.
