Zope documentation and HOWTOs
by Richard Jones 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

A while ago, I wrote an index to the HOWTOs - it's not automated, so it hasn't been updated for a while. It is much more accessible than the One Big List though (well, it is for me :) http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/howto_index I'm going to see about updating it Real Soon. Richard

RE: [Zope] Data-Aware Folder
by Elbert, Igor 13 Aug '02

Dieter, Thanks for your reply. Direct Traversal is very limited - it works only for ZSQL method that returns one record. It is just a hack It returns a Record object, not even a Results: query/1 and query?ID=1 return diffent things. I could probably attach a Brain to a ZSQL method to merge data but I think that would be solving th problem from the wrong angle. The solution I am looking for would make data in the Zope Folder and data in the database (or other source) appear in the same way to ZMI and to scripts.

If not, look at the "Advanced" tab of ZSQL methods. Dieter

Zope object Property name
by Jason Wertz 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

I'm a new at this so please bear with me... I'm using a dtml-in tag to iterate through a list returned by objectValues. I want to look at each item and determine if it is a folder or a dtml-file and execute a certain action based on that information. Only problem is, I don't know what property holds that info and I've looked all over. Can anybody help? Sorry if this is a dumb question but this is driving me nuts.

CMF Install on Windows
by Learned 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

I am trying to install CMF on Windows. I copied the three folders, to the lib/python/products directory, however CMF_Core and CMF_default both show up on the control panel as broken products. Here is the traceback from CMF_Core Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\BIN\xp\TLP\lib\python\OFS\Application.py", line 531, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "E:\BIN\xp\TLP\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\__init__.py", line 93, in ? import DirectoryView, FSDTMLMethod, FSImage, FSPropertiesObject, FSPythonScript File "E:\BIN\xp\TLP\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py", line 105, in ? class FSPythonScript (Script, Acquisition.Implicit, Item): File "E:\BIN\xp\TLP\lib\python\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py", line 223, in FSPythonScript _checkCBlock = PythonScript._checkCBlock AttributeError: _checkCBlock This was on a fresh install of Zope. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? -- 220, 221 ... whatever it takes learned(a)talentsinc.net on 08/13/2002

Question regarding exposing Zope on port 80
by Sean Bossinger 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Good morning: I'm a Zope Newbie, and have read most of The Zope Book. The functionality of this application is incredible, and it looks promising for what I want to do; however, I'm having some issues figuring one small thing out. Once I create the application framework, I don't want to have to tell my users to append ":8080" to the end of the web address that they'll be coming in to. Is there a redirector that I'm missing? Or is there a switch that makes Zope's webserver listen on 8080? I know I'm probably just missing something in the documentation; however, if someone could help me out, I'd be extremely grateful. Thank you, Sean Bossinger

Zope Book 2.6 edition progress
by Chris McDonough 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hi, I have placed a development version of a new Zope Book edition (covering Zope 2.6) up for perusal at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition . It is not yet finished, but it's getting there. 10 new chapters have been added, and many others have been rewritten. The way you can tell if a chapter has been rewritten is that it will typically have no inline comments, because they've all been addressed in the body of the chapter. Chapters *with* comments are typically the ones that have not yet been rewritten or otherwise meaningfully changed. You may not use inline commenting on this version of the book as you can with the "current" Zope book online version as don't want to gather inline comments just yet. However, if you notice something really desperately wrong (NOT spelling, NOT chapter numbering, NOT figure numbering, NOT grammar, NOT license or "hair splitting" terminology nits) in the content of the document, feel free to let me know via email. Thanks! - C PS - Anyone who is willing to help edit and extend the following chapters would get fame and glory via a mention in the Preface: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/Maintain ingZope.stx http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/CustomZo peObjects.stx http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/Relation alDatabases.stx http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/Security .stx The rest of the chapters I've got pretty much under control (or at least I think I can finish them soon). "Editing and extending" these chapters means: - Downloading the source version of the chapter via the "STX source" link at the top of the page. - Addressing all the comments in the section (either by ignoring them or weaving a solution to the complaint represented by the comment into the document). - Extending the chapter based on the comments or your own personal experience. - Sending the edited source back to me for inclusion into the Book.

Sending HTML emails with images
by vsbabu＠vsbabu.org 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hello, I'm asked to make a spam product :-( This gets data from some people, makes it into an HTML page and then emails it. Now, if the HTML page has to have images too, one way I can think of is by putting absolute URLs to the images. But, that will not work if the email is read outside the internal network. Here's how I'm sending my html encoded mail - how do I add image attachments that are referred in the html? <dtml-mime type="text/html" encode="7bit"> <dtml-var index_html_email> </dtml-mime> Thanks in advance Satheesh Babu http://vsbabu.org

Quoting quotes
by Charlie Reiman 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

I have a little dtml and python and I'd like to call the python with a string containing a double quote: <dtml-var expr="pything('she said "Yes."')"> Obviously, this doesn't work. Not so obviously, these don't work either. <dtml-var expr="pything('''She said "Yes."''')"> <dtml-var expr="pything('She said \"Yes.\"')"> The only solution I've found is the icky: <dtml-var expr="pything('She said \x22Yes.\x22')"> or <dtml-var expr="pything('She said \042Yes.\042')"> Is that the only way? Does dtml lack any kind of escape sequence? I can understand why there wouldn't be one but I'd like to be sure before I go
