Transparent Folders & Zope 2.5.0
by Ian J Cottee 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Does anyone have Transparent Folders working with Zope 2.5.0? I've installed the product, patched the OFS/__init__.py code and it claims it has loaded fine on startup. I can add a Transparent Folder to the root of my website, but it just doesn't seem to do anything. Specifically: / /web /web/globals /web/globals/test I'd expect /web/test to access the 'test' in globals but I just get a 'Cannot locate object' error. From reading the posts and comments others have made about this product it seems like it should just work.I want to do this to try and clean up the enormous number of methods that I usually carry in my site root. This is with Zope 2.5.0, source release and Transparent Folders 0.3.2 Any help gratefully received Ian

Upload photo DTML
by William Goedicke 16 Apr '02

Dear Y'all - I'm a newbie and am engaged in an exercise of setting up a photo album as a means of learning zope. Ron Bickers "Photo" product is working splendidly, but I'm stuck trying to creating a from that allows uploading photos to the current folder. The FAQ.txt file suggests: <dtml-call expr="manage_addProduct['Photo'].manage_addPhoto(id, title,file)"> I've got a form displaying no problem, but how do I utilize this line in the index.html to upload photos. The simplest possible example would be my preferred explanation format. Thanks in advance.

[snip] i have a way around this which will shortly be at the following url: http://www.zope.org/Members/careymatt/dreamweaver_dtml_objects basically its an extension for dreamweaver, which once loaded using the extension manager, will let the application understand (to some extent) dtml tags. some of the 'features' include: -- you can see your dtml page in the wysywig view (though if you have your body tags and any stylesheets in a common html header it won't pick them up). in most cases this will only cause problems with the look of the page -- it won't flash up dtml tags as unrecognised code and write them into the body of the page, thus ruining any page layouts -- common dtml tags represented by different icons -- a dtml pane in the objects palette from where you can insert a dtml tag i have a few things left to finish plus the installer file, which is taking a while as there are a lot of files to insert into dreamweaver. hopefully in about a week this will be available for everyone to use and give me feedback... cheers matt -------------------------------- Matt Carey Text Matters 37 Upper Redlands Road, Information design: Reading RG1 5JE, UK We help explain things using phone +44 (0)118 986 8313 .language fax +44 (0)118 931 3743 .design email matt(a)textmatters.com .systems web http://www.textmatters.com .process

Hello Roger. > open a index_html file in dreamwaver from Zope. I try to do > the same with ZPT Zope Page Templates. Whats the > solution for to run this on Dreamweaver? Dreamweaver 4 cannot open a file with no extension, like index_html, in WYSYWIG mode, though it can open it using the HTML inspector. My solution was to create a dtml method called index_html at the site root that looks like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var content_shell> <dtml-var standard_html_footerr> Into the dtml content_shell variable I load a ZPT document named content.htm. Dreamweaver will have no problem opening that since it has an extension. Each folder (section of your website) has a content.htm, and through the magic of acquisition, your standard header and footer will load too, and are sheilded to some extent, from inadvertant harm. Then simply change your Dreamweaver FTP port (in Preferences) to 8021 or whatever you set in your z2.py, go to Site Manager, connect, and edit normally. Dreamweaver MX should be out shortly. I hope it will support extensionless files. Another solution was to ditch Dreamweaver in favor of JASC Namo WebEditor, which has no problems opeing files without extensions in WYSiWIG mode, and is generally a good and affordable alternative to Dreamweaver. I hope that helps. Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson(a)indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678

When I have a file object that contains a word doc "viewing" it fires up word and displays the document. What I really want is that the save file dialog is presented. So how can I suppress the default behavior? Robert

Newbie Question - starting up Zope
by Roger Fisher 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hello - I have installed Zope on an older Win95 laptop with the hope of being able to do offline "in the field" demonstrations of some work. This installation will startup correctly if I have an active connection to the Internet, however the Zope server does not start properly if there is no active connection. I have disabled the firewall with same results. Any suggestions emailed directly are greatly appreciated.

ImageMagik with TexIndexNG
by Matt Gregory 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

I am trying to build DocumentLibrary with wvware, which requires ImageMagik for wmf support. I am having trouble getting ImageMagik to compile. Some of the problems include it's refusal to recognize the installation of the Open Jpeg Groups jpeg-6b library (even with the --with-jpeg=../jpeg-6b) configure option. That may or may not be the root problem because the make fails with the problems: "undefined reference to 'png_permit_mng_features'" ...ditto... "'png_create_write_struct_2'" ...ditto... "'png_create_read_struct_2'" I am using Zope 2.5, standard gnu libraries, I have installed zlib, pnglib, libpdf, tifflib, jpeglib wv - all the latest releases as of this post. Any clues?
