Reading parameter from DTML
by HT 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hi, I need help on why my dynamic page reading doesns't work. As an example below, I have a DTML-Method called dtml_action. this dtml_action will read the parameter from page (from the same directory) that invoked it. dtml_action document: -------------------------------------------------- <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var page> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ------------------------------------------------- As an example, my index_html need to diplay history_html document by using dtml_action. index_html document: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <dtml-if page> <dtml-var dtml_action?page=history_html> </dtml-if> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The code inside index_html definitely doesn't work because there isn't such variable like 'dtml_action?page=history_html' But I just don't know the syntax. Can anyone help?

CallProfiler and structured_text
by Peter Bengtsson 06 Aug '02

I installed CallProfiler and then structured_text from PythonScripts.standard stopped working. Removing the CallProfilder fixed things. The following traceback comes for this python script:: from Products.PythonScripts.standard import structured_text print structured_text("bla **bla** bla") return printed ImportError Sorry, a site error occurred.

Problem returning values from a catalog...
by Sebastian Sippl 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hi, I ve got a very strange problem: I want to return a catalog value named 'from'. The problem is that i cant change the name of the value because its part of the tracker-source code(Maybe I could, but thats the worst solution). When I access the catalog in the way, for brain in catalog: print brain.from i get a error because the name from is a python keyword !! If you know a solution please let me know !! Otherwise i have to edit the tracker-source(urgh!) Thanx, Sebastian

how to use setattr in __init__ method
by Nico de Boer 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hi all, I want to clean up my code by setting my arguments dynamically at initialization. I use the manage_afterAdd method for this, but isn't there an other way to do this? This is my code now: def __init__(self, id, title=''): """Initialization Product, a form is added at init""" self.form = self.init_form() self.Add_Form() def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container): """magical method""" for (name, value) in self.REQUEST.form.items(): setattr(self, name, value) This is my add Form ( in short ): <dtml-var manage_page_header> <dtml-var manage_tabs> <form action="addMail" method="post" enctype="text/html"> <input type="hidden" name="intro" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="subscription" value=""> Id <input type="text" name="id" size="40" /> Title <input type="text" name="title" size="40" /> <input class="form-element" type="submit" name="submit" value=" Add "> </form> <dtml-var manage_page_footer> Can't this also be done with: def __init__( self, id='', **kw ): """initialization simple object""" self.id = id for (key,value) in kw.items(): setattr(self, key, value) Greetz Nico

form/script problem
by Tom Germaine 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hi All: I am trying to upload a file as a DTML Document with a form that calls a python script which edits the filename and file ending and then calles a dtml method to show all DTML documents in the avc folder. The form is: ------- <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2>AVC Submit Form</h2> <p>Upload a file to AVC folder.</p> <form action="uploadActionScript" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <p><input type="file" name="myfile" size="85"></p> <p>Title:  <input type="text" name="mytitle" size="70"></p> <input type="submit"> </form> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ------- and the python script is: --------- import string fname=string.split(myfile,'\\')[-1] fname=string.split(fname,'.html')[0] context.avc.manage_addDTMLDocument(fname,mytitle) return context.avc.showFiles() ------- Everything resides in a subdirectory of avc When I test the script I get the error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'REQUEST' is not defined When I run the form I get the error: FileUpload instance has no attribute 'split' I have tried variations of the script but cannot get around the errors. Any advice would be appreciated. Tom Germaine

Re: [Zope] Can zope cope ?
by A M Thomas 06 Aug '02

If you only have FTP access, then you won't be able to set up Zope very easily. You really need either A) a server that's running Zope already, or B) a server where you have enough control to install Zope yourself _and_ permission from the server administrator (assuming that's not you). - Am >>This site must be able to run as a .com on a foreign server we dont >>have access to except via ftp. We as yet dont know what OS its running >>or what server software its running.

Re: Zope Examples - Shopping Cart
by Blaise Laflamme 06 Aug '02

Be sure to rewrite «standard_html_header» in DTML too. I don't think you can include a ZPT document this way.

main.dtml not used!?!
by Peter Bengtsson 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Dear all, I often change some things in to encompass the ZMI to my needs on newly installed instances in lib/python/OFS/dtml/main.dtml The strange thing is that this time the changes are not taking affect. I've turned off the document cache in Opera and restarted Zope many times. All I've done really is that I've added a direct like to adding a Z SQL method next to the drop down list to save a few clicks. Does anybody have any idea why this might happen? What products might cause this? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com) Version: 6.0.380 / Virus Database: 213 - Release Date: 2002-07-24

Zope Troubleshooting Tip (learn from my mistake)
by BZ 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

So I was trying to get ZUBB to work (yes, I am the person maintaining the code as well) and for some reason I could not post to this one board I had installed in a virtual host/cmf. I created another board and nothing would post. I checked permissions, locations, everything and it would not post. After hours of playing with it and getting quite frustrated I remembered a problem I once had with names so I searched my installation for "post" but got back nothing but the two post methods in my first and test boards. And then I saw it. Sitting right there in the root directory. A folder named "submit". I renamed it "submit_old" and lo and behold I could post again. The problem was that I was checking for "submit" in my post method and it was picking up on the directory name (OO and all that goodness). TIP: The lesson learned is: When troubleshooting something in Zope make sure you are not calling a method or variable that has the same name as another method / variable / object in your folder paths. Use the find feature and take a look around. Cheers, BZ
