Can't Track Simple Bug
by Nancy Donnelly 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

7474Hi; I have two Zope instances. On one of them, I have a boilerplate script that I use for all my clients' Web sites. Works fine. Has for years. I decided to copy it over to my other instance and I get an error. Here's the line in question: <p tal:on-error="string: mailScript() isn't defined! This should be in your *s* dir with the default installation." tal:replace="structure python:here.mailScript()" /> When the page that has this code in it is called by a form (that has the *s* directory in the URL), it throws the tal:on-error message. Even if I surf directly to that page and put the *s* dir in the URL, it still throws the error! Even if I rewrite the tal:replace to accommodate the dir: here.s.mailScript() How in the world is it doing that? The script also lives in that dir. Strange... TIA, Nancy

Silly me! I got so caught up in that error that I didn't think to check the error log! It said it couldn't find a Mail Host. Now, on the first instance, I just added the regular plain vanilla mail host, but on this instance, I got fancy with a Maildrop Host. Well, it didn't like that. It took the regular mail host just fine. But why didn't it like maildrop? Thanks, Nancy

Extra Fancy Template Manipulation
by Edward Pollard 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hi all, I've got three subsites that formerly used three different templates. I'd like for them now to use the same template, but I'd prefer not to have to touch the thousands of pages of content that currently point in three different places for their template. The easy solution is to copy/paste the template to three different places. But I don't like that solution. It will be obnoxious in the long run. I've never tried to manipulate templates and the execution of said templates with Python. Is there something I can do here to pass calls for the templates back to one place rather than actually duplicating my template? Cheers, Ed

I yahoo'd (can't google any more since they've sold out to the interests gathering our personal data for Homeland Security) "put_factory" and got this code snippet: if ext == 'dtml': from OFS.DTMLDocument import DTMLDocument return DTMLDocument( '', __name__=name ) So...how would I rewrite that to change it into a page template? And, more importantly, where is the documentation to do so? Yahooing didn't help on this. I went to my Zope installation to: {INSTALLATION}/lib/python/OFS to hunt around, but no script pointing to some "PTDocument" like there is with DTML. TIA, Nancy

Looking in that I find these two files that *might* be appropriate: PageTemplates.py ZopePageTemplates.py The latter is a wrapper for the former. The former defines the following class: class PageTemplate(Base): If this is the class I want to use, why only one argument? My example above cites exactly two arguments. And it is not a "base" I need to pass, is it? The latter defines the following class: class ZopePageTemplate(Script, PageTemplate, Historical, Cacheable, Traversable, PropertyManager): Why so many arguments? It doesn't look like those are any of the arguments I need to pass. None of the other files in that folder appeared to make sense, either. I confess I'm still quite green at programming, so if I'm wrong, please don't be too harsh ;) Any direction would be appreciated. TIA, Nancy

combining all zope2 FAQs into one big one at wiki.zope., org/zope2
by Bakhtiar A Hamid 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

hi all it seems that there are scattered faqs or zope 2 abound (http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/FAQs) and combining them all in one site (wiki.zope.org/zope2) seems the best solution, imho. so, i'm trying to ask all site owners with zope2 faqs whether we can achieve this? help from the community is also welcome. a good place to start is to replace the current http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/FAQs with faqs collected from various sites and use a template such as zope3.wiki.org/FAQ However, since it's taken Ive created http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/Zope2FAQs to get the ball rolling. The stuff there are just place holders. But with the permission of site owners i'd like to start transfer stuff over. thoughts? comments? -- http://myzope.kedai.com.my - my-zope org

newbie -- creating a Product
by Aidan 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I'm a complete Zope novice. Forgive me if my question is inane. I need to be able to send an e-mail (following a form submit) with an attachment (and I prefer not to use DTML). I can send e-mails withOUT attachments, but according to this: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-May/159291.html I need to create "a simple product like this: EmailTools/__init__.py ------------------- contents --------------------------------- from AccessControl import allow_module, allow_class, allow_type from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.Header import Header from MailCrypt import signmail from email.Encoders import encode_base64 allow_class(BlockFormatter) allow_class(MIMEBase) allow_class(MIMEText) allow_class(MIMEMultipart) allow_class(Header) allow_class(signmail) allow_class(encode_base64) --------------------------------------------------------------- " This then will allow me to send attachments using from Products.EmailTools import MIMEText,MIMEBase,MIMEMultipart,Header,encode_base64 in the python script. (Without the EmailTools product Zope tells me I am not allowed to import MIME*) This is where my question comes in. I have tried to create the product both from the ZMI (which does not allow the creation of __init__.py's) and via command line (in ~/Products, in lib/Python, everywhere that the sparse and conflicting information I have been able to gather tells me). Doing the latter I can certainly create the __init__.py but the Product doesn't register with zope. Could someone give a quick walk-through (or point to an up-to-date source) on how to create this Product? (I am running Zope 2.8.6-final, python 2.4.3, linux2) Thanks.
