Add PageTemplate: Undefined
by Bryan C. Andregg 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

[ I searched the archives and found some stuff replated to this but no answers. ] I have the PageTemplate product successfully installed. It works fine inside of a CMF site that I'm creating. I'd like to migrate to the use of PageTemplates for the rest of my site as well. When I select PageTemplate from the pulldown add box I get an error site which says the error, the entire error is "Undefined". Has anyone seen this before and solved it, and is willing to share the solution? mystified, -- Bryan C.

Viewing SQL code being run
by Ed Leafe 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

I'm learning to use sqlgroup to eliminate a lot of nearly identical queries, and so far have been happy with the results. But every so often I get a result that doesn't jibe with what should be returned, and I'm having a hard time figuring out where my mistake is. Is there any way to view the actual SQL that gets sent to the server after all the sqlgroup and sqltest tags are evaluated? That would be a really big help in debugging complex expressions. ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://foxcentral.net

External CSS via ZPTs
by Shane McChesney 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

I'd like to use a CSS stylesheet editable within the Zope Management Interface, and refer to it from a LINK tag in the HEAD of each page. I'm just learning Zope, and trying to stick to ZPTs over DTML wherever possible. I searched Zope.org, and found mindlace's post of a "CSS & Zope howto" in 1999. It talks about using the LINK tag to incorporate external CSS that is still an editable Zope object, exactly what I want, but it's a DTML object, and I'm not sure how to replicate this line in a ZPT: From: http://www.zope.org/Members/mindlace/css_zope ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: You must have the following line as the first line of your method: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/css')"> ---------------------------------------------- How can I have a ZPT act as my external stylesheet and set that response header? That is, how do I emulate the dtml-call above in a ZPT? Thanks, Shane McChesney http://www.skippingdot.net

Re: [Zope] Install Help
by Dennis Allison 30 Jun '02

Todd, Looks like you are trying to use Python 2.2 with Zope-2.5.1. i believe that that leads to problems as there are significant differences between Python 2.2 and 2.1.*. You probably need to install python 2.1.3+ for Zope.

sorting SQL results with dtml-in - not working
by Kelley, Sean 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

Hi, I am trying to provide a way to re-sort sql results in the form of a table by column name. I have the column headings set as links which pass the sort order via the query string (<a href="http://ut-web/applications/iw/plancheck/show_all_html2?order=Company"> Company</a> ) On the called page, I have the following line to sort the sql results but it seems to sort by something else and seems to be different each time. <dtml-in list_all_records sort="<dtml-var order> reverse" size=10 start=query_start> Order is the name of the variable for each database field. For example, sort could equal "Company" For whatever reason, I am getting weird results. I am still pretty weak at dtml so I am not seeing why. Sean

Copy/Paste Fails in some Folders
by Chris Gray 29 Jun '02

29 Jun '02

Are there any reasons why a copy and paste would fail on a particular DTML document? I have objects that I can copy and paste into some folders but not others. Any idea why?

SQLFile??
by Terry Hancock 29 Jun '02

29 Jun '02

You've probably already heard this by now, but there's an API way to create a ZSQLMethod. I don't know why, but the Zope book calls this "ZSQLMethod", while it appears to be called SQL in the actual Zope Source. Here's an example snipped out of my current project. I know the "import SQL as ZSQLMethod" is kind of weird -- I did that because I had already typed ZSQLMethod a whole bunch of times, and wasn't sure which was the "right" name. This code works, though. dbc = 'NaryaDB' # from Products.ZSQLMethods.SQL import SQL as ZSQLMethod #--------------------------------------------------------------------- getPostByNum = ZSQLMethod('addThreadStatus', 'Get a particular post', dbc, "number", """ SELECT post.username, post.post_time, post.postnum, post.body, user.tagline, user.avatar, user.nrecent, user.nposts, user.signature, user.www FROM post, user WHERE post.postnum = <dtml-sqlvar number type="int"> """ ) That's: <method-object> = ZSQLMethod(<method-id>, <method-title>, <DB-connection>, <method-arguments (no commas!)>, <method-ZSQL code>) Note that this creates the object -- I have this assigned as a class method in a Zope Product. I.e. it is assigned here in a module "ZSQLRead", then I assign from the module to the class method: import ZSQLRead class my_folderish_product(Folder): # ... lots of other stuff ... getPostByNum = ZSQLRead.getPostByNum' # ... lots more stuff ... You can call this from the web or from other Zope objects, just as if it were contained in the folder, but it doesn't appear in the mgmt interface and is not alterable. It also will automatically be updated when the product is changed, and it will exist for any number of actual instances of the product. If you want to see it in the management interface, you'll want to use "manage_addZSQLMethod(...)" instead. (But I don't explain that because I didn't do it that way -- it is mentioned in the Zope book as something like: object.manage_addZSQLMethod(<id>,<title>,<connection>,<args>,<ZSQL>) analogous to the above). The book calls this the "ZSQLMethod" class, so I had assumed the constructor would be invoked by "ZSQLMethod()", but I couldn't get that to work without the weird import ... as (This is Zope 2.5.1). Sorry if this is redundant, but I wanted to reply before I lost this message and forgot about it. :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------ Terry Hancock hancock(a)anansispaceworks.com Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com P.O.

Re: [Image-SIG] Installing PIL on Windows
by Eric Woudenberg 29 Jun '02

Hi Gary, I haven't been following this thread closely, so I don't know if this helps, but if you install the PY21 (Python 2.1) binary package from Python labs that has a working PIL included in it. Installation executable is here: http://www.pythonware.com/downloads/py21-20010906.exe Executable Python binary ends up in /py21/python.exe The py21 installation doesn't effect any other Python installations you may have on your machine.
