Open an object
by G F 31 May '02

31 May '02

I am new to zope and although I have done some python programming over the past few years, I am having some trouble. I am trying to make a simple little web calendar. The first page that I of the calendar is a list of dates that come from a bunch of DTML Documents in a folder called 'events'. Each DTML Document is an event. To do this I use something like: <ul> <dtml-in expr="events.objectValues()"> <li><a href="calendarItem?cal_id=<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var date></a> </dtml-in> </ul> This makes a list of dates that are linked to a DTML Method 'calendarItem'. I pass the variable cal_id to 'calendarItem' so it can display more information about the date. How do i use the variable 'calendarItem' to open the DTML Document into an HTML page? I tried: <dtml-in expr="events.objectValues('DTML Document')"> <dtml-if expr="id == cal_id"> <dtml-var date><br> <dtml-var title><p> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> But for some reason that did not work. It seams that even if it did work there would be a better way. Thank you. Gary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

How to detect transaction abort to allow cleanup?
by Warnes, Gregory R 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi all, I have an object that uses SOAP to talk to an external server. The SOAP connection should last only the length of the transaction and the server needs to be notified that the transaction is complete. I've got things properly working when transactions are successfully completed by overriding __getstate__ to do the correct thing. Unfortunately, I can't see how to ensure that the proper message gets sent when the transaction is aborted.. Is there a method that I can define that will get called when the transaction is aborted? Other ideas? Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.

What is the Best Way to Include CSS Stylesheets in Zope
by zvi＠12thplanetcafe.com 31 May '02

31 May '02

I would like for all of my Zope pages to use a CSS stylesheet by default. Ideally I would be able to keep the reference to the stylesheet in only one place in Zope and have changes to the stylesheet filename propagate globally. The Beehive book does not mention anything about how to integrate CSS stylesheets into Zope. Does anyone what is the best way to do so?

standard_error_message strangeness ..
by Geir Bækholt 31 May '02

31 May '02

I just (after much frustration and fruitless searching..) discovered that standard_error_message wraps some default tables and errors around itself if it starts with : <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> instead of just <html> Is there any reason for this ? puzzled.. -- Geir Bækholt web-developer geirh(a)funcom.com funcom oslo | webdev-team

Re: I Zope 3 - TAL, DTML vs. Python
by Jan Smith 31 May '02

31 May '02

Thanks to everyone who added their thoughts about TAL, DTML and Python. You have given me renewed energy I'll try presevering with TAL and maybe try some tentative steps with python scripts. I wish there were more examples for newbies to ease the learning curve. Jan Smith webmster OzZope http://www.ozzope.org

Button defined actions in zpt
by Pablo Ziliani 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi all, I've noticed that both :method and :action do nothing when they are in a zpt. Is there any known workaround for this? Example: <input type="submit" name="admin_rename_form:method" value="Rename" /> <input type="submit" name="admin_duplicate:method" value="Duplicate" /> <input type="submit" name="admin_delete:method" value="Delete" />

More advanced features like >lambda >expressions and list comprehensions are harder to grasp, but you >don't have to use them yourself. Yep. My experiences are some sort of similar. I have played more than a year now with Zope and possibly half a year with Python. Python was never that much the problem -- it took some time to realise what is shared and when an object is actually copied etc. Zope itself standed a more mysterious piece of work for longer. Then suddenly the source code - or atleast parts of it - started to make sense. Python structures made sense, and after that things started to click into their places. There are still things that in Python bite into my anckle from time to time, but I feel that I am learning -- and for most of time my job is not to code that much in Python, but to do scripts that utilize the best parts of other peoples' great modules or products. And yes. I do love Zope. -huima

zope, swig and external files
by Mitscher Dubreus 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi, Is someone able to send me an example using external methods and files generated with swig. In fact, I have a C++ program, and I want to do the interface with Zope. So I used Swig to generate the file to make me able to use Python scripts with my C++ application. But now I can't make it run on Zope! I use an external method to put my main.py, but I don't know what to do with the xx-wrap.c, xx.py, xx.i, ... files used by swig Shall I put them in Zope? and If yes shall I put them in an external Method or in an other zope object?... Can someone help me? Thanks
