manage_workspace in doubt
by Edwin Martin 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hello, We have a strange problem which only occurs on certain PC's/browsers. In the Zope management screen, the left menu lists all folders. Each folder points to /folder/manage_workspace (as can be seen in the status bar). Normally, /folder/manage_workspace is redirected to /folder/manage_main, so you see the contents of the folder on the right. On some PC's, instead of /folder/manage_workspace /folder/index_html appears, the page as seen by a visitor, which is not wat we want. It has nothing to do with rights. When I log in at my own PC, everything works fine, but logged in on this "problem PC", I have the mentioned problem. How is this possilble? Or better: how can I solve this? Zope Version Zope 2.3.0 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) Python Version 1.5.2 (#0, Dec 27 2000, 13:59:38) [GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] uname -a Linux northshore 2.2.19 #1 Thu Nov 1 19:52:06 EST 2001 i686 unknown Thanks a lot, Edwin.

Dynamic Menus
by Fearless Froggie 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Sorry here's yet another newbie question . . . I'm looking for the best way to set up dynamic menus for my zope sites. With PHP and Mysql, I set up a table for categories and a table for articles. In the categories table, a field specified whether a particular category should be added to the menu or not. In rendering the menu, I checked which category the user was in, and highlighted that entry in the menu. Each category could have one or more articles, and one article could be set as the "default" article for that category and therefore automatically displayed. If there was no default article, a list of links to all the articles in that category was displayed. I'm wondering whether I'll need to create a "product" to come up with something in zope that has the same functionality. The only built-in option I've found so far is the "dtml-tree" tag, which I guess will do until I've figured out the ins and outs of zope well enough to program stuff for it. What do other people do for programming dynamic menus in zope? Thanks! Rita Mikusch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Changing document type how-to: another idea
by Jaroslav Lukesh 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hi, It exist a mini-how-to (I loose URL) about changing document type via ZMI. But it is not useable for many documents. After I was uninstall "HTML Document" product, I have lot of files that have "HTML Document" type instead of File or "DTML Document". I have try another method via FTP to change into "DTML Document". 1. copy files from Zope via FTP to local filesystem 2. delete files in Zope (via FTP) 3. and copy files from local back to Zope via FTP But these throw away all properties (same as method in mini-how-to) and does not allow to change into another than "DTML Document". Regards J. Lukesh

Re: [Zope] How to reload two frames?

Hello Dieter, > myzope(a)softhome.net writes: >>[How to let a frame reload both another frame and itself with new values] > Either you use Javascript or you must reload the complete frameset. Ah. And would you say that the following from http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/ByKey/3AB4B23B4DF7606E applies (except that the session product is incorporated in Zope 2.5.x)? You have two options: * a session product (there are some around on zope.org) it allows you to save information across web requests * passing the additional information through a query string key=value pair (do not forget to "url_quote_plus") > XXX - If this method is called from the top level FrameSet method, > how to I access dir and file from the original request? see above.

Hi, I am looking for a zope hosting provider and can use recommendations. I currently have 4 virtual domains and use mysql. I am having some concern about stability of my provider relating to backups and uptime. I want to expand my web offerings to include sql data and ecommerce and need to count on good backups of my user directory and sql database.

I have tried this several times with diferrent username password cobinations(real simple ones) so no fingertrouble. After using zpasswd.py I verify that it actually did change the inituser wich it has, but no entry allowed. -------------------------------------------------------
