Products and vhm
by Steven Pokrandt 09 May '02

09 May '02

I'd like to host other zope based sites. I see the need to allow admins of the vhosted sites access to creating there own produces Isn't the Idea of a product to be able to create custom objects? I do NOT what them to be able to delete or install system wide products. just ones that would be available within the vhm directory. is this possible, am I missing something...

Has anyone done anything to connect to a Netscape Directory? I understand its LDAP also but I know next to nothing about it or LDAP in general for that matter. I have all the server, port, user, etc. info but just don't know how to go about getting data out of it.

odd iteration semantics in ZPT
by dman 09 May '02

09 May '02

I created a collection and iterator class in an External Method for use by my web app. I implmented the iterator protocol introduced by python 2.2, but also included a __getitem__ method to provide the "old" iteration mechanism. For various reasons, the client of my iterator needs to know some information regarding where in the iteration process the iterator is at. I had little trouble making the iterator itself, but I kept getting odd assertion errors and minor defects in the way data was retrieved from my iterator. I managed to track it down to the fact that __getitem__ is called twice with 0 as the index. The sequence of index values looks like : [0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] I can work around this anomaly by resetting my iterator every time the index is 0. Is this a bug in zope? (I expect that the bug is in ZTUtils/Iterator.py) I'm using zope 2.5.1, python 2.1.3, debian 3.0. -D -- The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

SQL to Excel
by Bruce Dykes 09 May '02

09 May '02

Okay, I'm trying to publish the data from an excel spreadsheet via an ODBC connection. The connection starts okay, and I found this SQL snippet from a Java site: select URL from [qas$] where Month='March' and Year=2000 Note that the table name is the name of the worksheet with a $ appended to the end. You have to append the $ in order for the query to work. Why? Because. The brackets are there because $ is a reserved character in SQL. Life is never easy. ----------------------- Now all I want to do is SELECT *...I don't need anything fancier than that, I'm just trying to publish the entire worksheet. No variation on the above code snippet seems to work. Has anybody gotten SQL queries into excel to work? And how did you do it? thanks in advance bkd As an aside, I'm currently publishing this document via Apache, with an excellent program, xlhtml set up as a handler....but that's proven less than useful as of late.

The best way would be to insert a new first row in your excel-sheet with the field names you want. Or: use the names which are shown when you test your ZSQL method. > > And as a more general question, in the ODBC connector docs, it says that not > all databases support browsing...what is the specific limitation?

If you really want to use the Browse tab, you have to use named ranges in your excel sheet (look in your excel manual how to name ranges); then you will see the named ranges just like 'normal' tables in a database. (and you can also do something like "select * from nameOfRange " as ZSQL method ...) chris

Possible error in Sams Publishing Zope book?
by Michael Kleymann 09 May '02

09 May '02

Hey, y'all... New to the list, new to ZOPE, trying to learn. As the subject line implies, I have a book from Sams Publishing, titled "Zope," subtitled "web application construction kit" which has examples in it. I love examples... Most of the first 3 chapters revolve around setting up, making database connections and what not. Chapter 4 starts an example for a type of discussion board. The security that they ask you to set is no view for anonymous access, basically requiring a login before you can see the page. They give the following section of code for the index_html: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <center> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Anonymous')"> <h3>Welcome to your Message Board</h3> <p> Please identify! <p> <a href="login_html">Login</a> </dtml-if> </center> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Using this code, exactly as-is, I receive the following error: Compilation failed TAL.HTMLParser.HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 3, column 10 The given location is the first " in the dtml-if statement. Now, I'll admit, I'm not a programmer, and I've never played one on TV, but there are other pages in the same site that use the dtml-if statement with a ", and none of them throw that same error. Can someone clue me in on this? It's been driving me nuts.... Michael Kleymann
