Hi David, Kindly accept my sincere apology for not have gotten back to you on this issue. I have been so busy trying to implement the code you sent to me to meet my needs. I thank you so much bcos I am getting positive result. The only problem I have now that I have not been able to solve is this : Instead of using the hyperlink to point to mm, I want a situation where I will be able to use the Form Action bcos there are certain parameters that i want to pass with the form. With the code below this was impossible bcos it only displays the title as text for this first one with the submit button but display other titles as hyperlinks (surprising when i do not even use the anchor tags) without the submit buttons. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mm', ddmmyy)"> <dtml-with "_.getitem(mm,0)"> <h4><dtml-var title></h4> </li> <form action="&dtml-ngrHome;news/&dtml-path;" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="ddmmyy" value="&dtml-ddmmyy;"> <input type="hidden" name="day" value="&dtml-day;"> <input type="image" src="&dtml-ngrHome;images/go1.gif" value="submit"> </form> </dtml-with> I have been on it for a while and I don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your supports, I sincerely appreciate them. Regards. ===== Hamzat kamaldeen Ishola Dnet Systems Limited. 223 Ikorodu Road, Lagos.

Redefining variables
by McDonnell, Larry 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi, I have searching the Zope archives and I cannot found out how to do this. >From a form I have 4 variables so the user can wildcard any or all of them. In the form, I have set the value to display "%" and my sql calls works fine. I know the user will complain about the "%". So I blanked out the values. In the form that display the search results I added the following: <dtml-if "specification==''"> What is the statement to make specification ="%"? After these dtml-if statements I have the sql call (<dtml-in lookup_spec_query>). Most dtml-if statement I have seen refer to dtml-calls. Any examples would be great, thanks.

accessing an CMF-Collector-Item variable using a string
by Christoph Folberth 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hello !! Recently the following problem arised, and my unability to solve it, made me feel desperate and unworthy to live. Okay, enough with exaggerating, here comes the problem: I have a list of strings (it's called tokens isn't it ?) which contains the names of some CollectorItems. The list is called 'collectorItems' Let's assume there's a CMF-Collector installd under '/Coll' containing about 300items. Now i have to acces a variable of the given Items in CollectorItems called status: i tried the following: <dtml-in collectorItems> <dtml-with "Coll"> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-var status> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> it didn't work. i also tried: <dtml-in collectorItems> <dtml-with "Coll"> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].status"> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> again, it didn't work, so i tried (as my last rescue, even without really knowing what i tried to do): <dtml-in collectorItems> <dtml-with "Coll"> <dtml-with "_['sequence-item'].getObject()"> <dtml-var status> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> you guess it: again, IT DID NOT WORK !! hopefully, there is s.o. out there to help me, thanx in advance, Chris!

How to Learn ZPT or DTML??

31 May '02

Being new to Zope, I would like to minimize my learning curve to some extent. I guess I am a little confused between the uses of TAL, ZPT and Python. Where should one start to learn TAL? or ZPT?

ZPT url quote text
by Nico de Boer 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hello, I'm working on a News product that uses ZPTs for the rendering of the newsobjects. Only when the text of the objects is rendered, the &-sign is quoted into &. When I have a word like 'én' it is quoted into '&eacute;n'. This is a snipped from my repeat loop that iterates over my newsobjects: <p class="newsbody" tal:content="item/body">This is the bodyof the child object</p> How can I change this so that the body isn't quoted?

ZIPFolder Fix Ignore Files w/ spaces
by eric.n.dunn＠bankofamerica.com 31 May '02

31 May '02

This was it! Thankyou very much! Couldn't find the code in "ZipFile.py" since "ZipFolder 0.2.2" doesn't have that specific file by default. -rw-r--r-- 1 zwww zwww 6550 May 31 05:41 ZipFolder.py -rw-r--r-- 1 zwww zwww 24360 Apr 6 2001 zipfile152.py Looked for it in "ZipFolder.py" and found it. Code change to "ZipFolder.py": # check zip file names for: # filenamepattern=re.compile(r'[A-Za-z0-9][\w\_\-\.]*$') <--- OLD filenamepattern=re.compile(r'[A-Za-z0-9 ][\w\_\-\. ]*$') <--- NEW Tested and worked perfect the first time. Files w/ spaces not ignored anymore and rendered just fine in presentation layer. You the man!!! Thanks again Eric Jens Quade <jq(a)jquade.de> on 05/30/2002 03:25:14 PM To: Eric N.

Zipfile refuses to import files with strange filenames. The pattern is a bit strict... If you want to import files with spaces, find the following lines in ZipFile.py: # check zip file names for: filenamepattern=re.compile(r'[A-Za-z0-9][\w\_\-\.]*$') and change it to: # check zip file names for: filenamepattern=re.compile(r'[A-Za-z0-9 ][\w\_\-\. ]*$') (note the added blanks) jens
