error_type in Python Script?
by Kyler Laird 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Within an except: block, how do I find the type of exception that was raised? In plain Python, it is sys.exc_type. In DTML, it's error_type. I do not see how to get it in a Python Script. I looked for the answer on the Web with no joy. A pointer to where I should have looked will be appreciated. Thank you. --kyler

Hi! Is it possible to reload __init__.py (Python Product)? Up to now I restart zope if I make changes in initialize(registrar). Normal refreshing does not seem to work. thomas

Good id, but... > For example I suppose it would be possible, if every webmaster > agrees, to use the very same LDAP directory, which might be > replicated for redundancy reasons, to check username+pw when > an user tries to authenticate. ...I do not agree on the replication part. I think a new user shouldn't be replicated to the Central Authentication server. A new user should be created directly on this server. Because: What would you do when the user already exists, but had a different password or mail address? Not allow this user to be created? Change his/her password or mail address? Create a second user? According to me each community member should have 1 user with 1 password (name it account if you'd like). Maybe it would be nice to have the possibility to have 1 mail adress for each mailing list. Just for those who want to keep these mails strictly separated. --Yvon Breuer

RE: [Zope] flexible linking...
by Breuer, Yvon 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

The link_MailtoSomeone is not a DTML document but a DTML method. Is a method not ok for this? Further: ad 1) I'll change it. Seems plausible. ad 2) You're right, but... I haven't learned Python yet. (Guess it's worth a try. I've already got so much to learn! :-) ) Yvon Breuer -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Reiman Your link_MailtoSomeone is not expanding. Are you sure it's a DTML document? FWIW, this seems really complicated and probably will bite you later on. I see a couple of big problems. 1) Intrasite links in Zope are best left up to zope itself. You don't want this in your DTML: <A href="/orderform">Order now</A> You want this instead <dtml-var expr="orderform.absolute_url()">Order now</A> The reason is that the first can't be relocated, won't work when you move the site, won't work behind VirtualHostMonster, and can't take advantage of Zope's intrinsic HTML savvy object rendering. The same argument applies to image references. It's not clear from your example but it looks like you'd be forcing text links. 2) You've got everything all split up in little bits. To change a link, it looks like someone will need to edit three (?) objects, all in different folders. Think about how much clicking the poor fellow is in for. If you need to make links editable by others, it doesn't seem to me like this is going to make things easier. If you must do something like this, consider using object properties to store information, using TinyTables plus python, or writing your own 'Link' product. > -----Original Message----- > From: Breuer, Yvon > > Hi, > > new(bie) question... > > > What I want: > ------------ > - I'm trying to make my links as flexible as possible. > - I'd like to have all links together in one folder. > - I'd like to have all texts together in one folder. > > > Reasons: > -------- > - Later I want to impliment multi-languages (for everything, so > for links too). > - I don't want to change every link implemented in my pages when > some mailto- or http-address changes. > - I'm lazy.

LocalFS guidance
by Jeff Nielsen / UgoFast 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

I'm puzzled again. I'm using the manage_uploadForm to allow users to upload new files to my web site. The upload works fine, but after the upload, I want the user to be directed back to a page of the web site (/Maintain/Edit/Company/) instead of the default behaivor of putting the user at the manage_main page of the LocalFS directory where the file was uploaded to (which also prompts for a login, not good.). I'm using the following line to call the upload form: <form action="/images/<dtml-var "FSSession['LoginCompanyImagesPath']">/manage_uploadForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> /images is the LocalFS directory and FSSession['LoginCompanyImagesPath'] holds the subdirectory path where the files should be put. I see the following bit in the LocalFS changes files, but I can't seem to get a clue about how to implement a different "action" "Added optional 'action' parameter to manage_upload to allow redirecting somewhere other than the default 'manage_workspace'." Any help is appreciated. Jeff

change textfile
by Bjørge Solli 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

I am trying to make and change a textfile. I'm trying to do it this way: context.manage_addFile(id) getattr(context,id).manage_edit(title,data) This sets content_type(Property) to the value of data. I want to put the contents of data INTO the file, and have content_type to be text/html. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. regards Bjorge -- http://www.lstud.ii.uib.no/~s0182/smile/Smiles -- Bjørge Solli - Universitas Bergensis, Norway mailto:Bjorge@Kvarteret.no icq#29210281 MSN:bobelloco@hotmail.com Møllendalsv.19, 5009 Bergen, Norway tel:55202853/91614343

still problem with dtml-with
by Jerome Alet 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hi, some days ago I've posted a message asking for help wrt a Python product : dtml-with didn't work with instances of this product. Toby Dickenson answered and gave me what I thought to be the solution : rename the "__call__" method I had defined to "index_html" Now dtml-with works, but dtml-var doesn't (it worked before). In other terms : if I put this in my product class definition : def __call__(self) : ... index_html = None this gives me : <dtml-var MyInstance> ==> renders correctly <dtml-in "objectValues(['MyClass'])"> <dtml-var oneMethod> ==> works correctly </dtml-in> <dtml-with MyInstance> <dtml-var oneMethod> ==> searches oneMethod in the container </dtml-with> and doesn't find it so doesn't work and if I put this instead : def index_html(self) : ... it gives me : <dtml-var MyInstance> ==> renders incorrectly as <MyClass instance at ffeeddcc> <dtml-in "objectValues(['MyClass'])"> <dtml-var oneMethod> ==> works correctly </dtml-in> <dtml-with MyInstance> <dtml-var oneMethod> ==> works correctly </dtml-with> So my question is : is it possible to have the best of both worlds ? I want <dtml-var MyInstance> to render it as HTML, and I want to be able to call some instances methods inside a <dtml-with>. Toby also told me to double quote my instance's id, which works but how can I delete these double quotes and make it still work ? Thanks in advance for any help or pointer. Jerome Alet

calling external script from index_html
by Christopher Quinn 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hello list, just getting going and already belly-flopped at the first hurdle. In a folder holding the external method object, an index_html referencing it via <dtml-val myscript_func> does not appear to run the script, while a dtml method created in the same folder and making the same reference does run ok. I tried moving the external method object into a higher level folder in case it somehow was not in scope, but to no avail. What is the correct way to make external scripts available to index_html's? Cheers, Chris Quinn
