upload multiple files
by John Hunter 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Is it possible to upload multiple files using a dialog box in zope, so that the user can select with a mouse several files at once and have them all uploaded into the zope file system. Alternatively, is there a way to have zope upload all the files located in a folder on the local file system? Thanks, John Hunter

dtml-let and Python Script
by Peter Bengtsson 26 Feb '02

Using DTML (This works for me but not what I want): --- DTML Method index_html --- <dtml-let age="50"> <dtml-var message> </dtml-let> ------------------------------ --- DTML Method message ------ You are <dtml-var age> years old ------------------------------ Using Python Script (this is what I want but doesn't work for me): [same index_html method as above] --- Python Script message ------ return "You are %s years old"%context.age ------------------------------ Basically, how do I within a Python Script use variables that are set in a containing DTML-Let?

Returning Image Data from a Product
by Terry Hancock 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi all, I'm getting very confused about a Zope product I'm working on, and I'm hoping somebody can share a clue on this. I've already figured out that I can load an image included with my product into PIL, with a line like this (which took a long time to figure out, any better solutions to this would be appreciated, too): im = PIL.Image.open( Globals.ImageFile('www/myimg.png', globals()).path) and then, I can load a PIL image into a contained Zope Image object (I was actually figuring that Globals.ImageFile would load a Zope image, but it seems not -- weird. Instead it's some kind of file access object, hence the "path" attribute used above). imf = StringIO() im.save(imf, "PNG") imf.seek(0) self.result_image.data = imf.read() self.result_image.width = 32 self.result_image.height = 32 self.result_image.content_type='image/png' self.result_image.size = len(self.result_image.data) ("im" is the PIL image, "self.result_image" is the Zope image, and "imf" is a StringIO object containing the image). Now the part that stumps me -- how do I return this image back to the caller? Specifically: * I want to return the PNG Image (i.e. a block of data * * with mime type 'image/png'), NOT an HTML image tag * * containing a reference to result_image . * I've tried: return self.result_image which returns a serialized image tag (i.e. just like return self.result_image.tag() which I've also tried). return self.result_image.data returns the PNG image alright, but the mime type is set to 'text/plain'! The kicker is, I have a related module which does do this successfully, by simply using: return self.result_image But I can't figure out why this one doesn't do it. So I need to have a better understanding of what makes this happen in order to figure out what the deal is. There are a lot of (apparently) trivial differences between the two, but each time I come across something that looks like the critical difference, it turns out not to change anything, so it's pretty darned tedious to do the experimental approach. So I figure I could use some theoretical predictions to guide me. :) Some of the differences I've already tried: Changing the base class from SimpleItem to Image (this is the class of the containing object, not the zope image object which is initialized within it -- i.e.: class myspecial_image_maker(Image): <-- this is the superclass that I changed from SimpleItem this class is not viewable as an image, so has no particular reason to be one. def __init__(self, id, title): self.id = id self.title = title self.result_image = OFS.Image.Image( 'result_image', 'Result Image', '', content_type='image/png') Also, on my earlier class, I want to use a URL interface for caching reasons, so I overloaded __getattr__, like this: def __getattr__(self, keystr): try: # omitted lengthy code to catch my coded URLs # code like that quoted above to load/make a PIL # image and pack into the Zope result_image image. return self.result_image except: Image.__getattr__(self, keystr) (So if anything goes wrong, or my code doesn't catch the attribute, it falls through to the superclass's __getattr__ -- this is pretty nice, but also tedious to debug, I have to warn you -- if you snare up standard attributes with your __getattr__, Zope gets very confused!). I remind you that this code does what I wanted -- i.e when you point your browser at the desired "coded" URL, you get the PNG image itself, with correct 'image/png' mime type. So you can do something like this: <img src="<dtml-var expr="Avatars.anonymous_png">/s32" width="32" height="32" border="0"/> where "anonymous_png" is an object of my earlier class. The coded URL "s32" asks for a version of the image resized to 32x32, which PIL takes care of. This code *works*. Now I'm trying to do it again, calling another function to generate an image from scratch (i.e. not contained in the class), based on some rules and PIL code, generated from the coded URL. But for some reason this *doesn't* work, and I'm trying to figure out what determines this, so I can see if I can find the difference (not to mention that this sounds like I will learn something significant about Zope). As you can see, I also changed the __getattr__ to use Image and not SimpleItem. Some of my test code, in order to avoid the complexity of interacting with the __getattr__ code, returns the image from a normal python method, like this: class ... def testimg(self): "Need this docstring or zope complains ;)" # omitted code (as above) to load a PIL image and convert # to a zope image return self.result_image This returns the image *tag* every time I've tried it. Is it possible that it matters whether I'm using __getattr__ or a python method to return this? Is there some hidden difference that I just haven't found yet (perhaps completely unrelated to what I've shown). The whole module is a bit long to post on the list, and it includes a lot of trivial details that would probably hinder more than help. I'm hoping I've already included the relevant parts above. I think I've tried returning the image from the __getattr__ method (to no avail), but I've been through so many variations, I really can't remember now! BTW, the actual module size is: % wc NaryaImage.py 385 1284 11050 NaryaImage.py Thanks for any ideas!

problem with quoted-printable mine encoded text/html attachments in Zope 2.3
by Clint Brubakken 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I am sending an email via zope, that consists of a plain text message, followed by an html attachment in quoted-printable encoding. The problem is that it splits the message into line of 72 chars, and it does that in the middle of a url, so in both evolution and communicator images don't show up and links are wrong, but it appear correct in outlook express. I've gotten it to work with 7bit encoding and a content-type of text/html, but from what I've seen html attachment should be in quoted-printable encoding.

Arguments to callbacks?
by Jan Johansson 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I have the below code, which doesnt work as expected. Everythime i execute it, "sortid" seems to be turned into an array with another elemet tacked on every iteration? What i want to do is use URL which performs a callback, and then passes the var "sortid" to the getCSBans method... sortid on first attempt is "timestamp" if i then click "wonid" i get ['timestamp', 'wonid'] What am i not understanding? <dtml-var standard_html_header> <small>För att uttföra en operation, klicka i rutan brevid knappen och klicka på respektive knapp. </small><br><br><br> '<dtml-var URL>' <br> <dtml-var REQUEST> <dtml-if sortid> <dtml-var sortid> </dtml-if> <dtml-in expr="getCsbans(sort='<dtml-var sortid>')" size=100 start=query_start> <dtml-if sequence-start> <dtml-if previous-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>query_start=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>"> (Previous <dtml-var previous-sequence-size> results) </a> </dtml-if previous-sequence> <table border> <tr> <th><a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>sortid=wonid">Wonid</a></th> <th><a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>sortid=timestamp">Tidpunkt för ban</a></th> [snip]

illegal characters in url error
by Paul Rudin 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I'm new to both zope and python, so I hope you'll forgive my ignorance. I'm writing a simple file upload web page. I've got it working most of the time; however when file names have certain characters in them I get errors like this: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: The id "[X=X].foo" contains characters illegal in URLs. The code generating this error is as follows: origfilename=file.filename id=origfilename[max(string.rfind(origfilename, '/'), string.rfind(origfilename, '\\'), string.rfind(origfilename, ':'), )+1:] context.DemoArchive.manage_addFile(id,file, demo_title) I thought that using quote_url_plus would solve this, so I changed to: origfilename=file.filename id=origfilename[max(string.rfind(origfilename, '/'), string.rfind(origfilename, '\\'), string.rfind(origfilename, ':'), )+1:] id=url_quote_plus(id) context.DemoArchive.manage_addFile(id,file, demo_title) However I get the same error with the new string: The id "%5BX%3DX%5D.foo" contains characters illegal in URLs Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? TIA.

Hi, Has anyone try the ExtDocument Product? I'm having troubles with it. Ones I'm on Zope, I try to upload external document to the Zope file System and it asks me for user and password. I tryed the network password, the local password and Zope (mannager) password, and didn't work. So I'm lost in there. Any idea about what the problem is? Thanks Andrés Sánchez Gómez EcMess.com
