quote escaping in DTML
by Milos Prudek 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Is it possible to escape quotes in DTML? There are situations where single and double quotes pile up in a manner that makes expressions invalid. Example: I need to generate the following programatically: <img src="/images/on/usability" width="82" height="20" border="0" name="usability" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('usability','','/images/on/usability',0)"> First try is working but not very readable: <img src=<dtml-var "images.on.usability" url> <dtml-with "images.on.usability"> height=<dtml-var height> width=<dtml-var width> border=0 name=<dtml-var title_or_id> alt=<dtml-var title_or_id> onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('usability','','/images/off/usability',0)" </dtml-with>> Second try, using image tag tag: <dtml-with "images.on.usability"> <dtml-let name=title_or_id> <dtml-var "tag(name=name, alt=name, onMouseOut='MM_swapImgRestore()', onMouseOver='MM_swapImage('usability','','/images/off/usability',0)')"> </dtml-let> </dtml-with> This does not work, because single quote levels fight each other. I tried to substitute value of onMouseOver using dtml-let="MM_swapImage('usability','','/images/off/usability',0)", but that's not working either, because Zope tries to evaluate MM_swapImage which is impossible to do because it's JavaScript code :-) So elegance goes overboard and I stick with the first try. Is there a cleaner way to do this? -- Milos Prudek

How to convert structured text into plain text
by Nuno Maltez 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hi, I know that <dtml-var xxx fmt="structured-text"> converts structured text into HTML, and I know how to call this from a python script/external method. Now, is there a method somewhere in Zope's classes that return a plain text version of the stx string? With all the special characters and sequences stripped off. Thanks in advance, Nuno

Anthony Baxtor has the answer: In addition, note that the original number is a unix timestamp - seconds since 01/01/1970. So to add two weeks to it, you'd do: t + ( 2 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 ) Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson(a)indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678

Bug in Owned/changeOwnership method ?
by Gilles Lenfant 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hi, When trying to give (with an externat method) an authentified user the ownership of a folder and - recursively - its content, I noticed that when that folder is already owned by that user, the somefolder.changeOwnership(someuser, recursive=1) did not work on objects contained in that folder (always owned by the former owner). When reading the source (lib/python/AccessControl/Owned.py), I noticed this (lines 106...108) in changeOwnership(): old=aq_get(self, '_owner', None, 1) if old==new: return if old is UnownableOwner: return Means that if the new owner is the former owner, changeOwnership stops immediately, even if recursive=1. So I commented out line 107 (# if old==new: return) and it works. I mean the owner of the folder is changed as well as the contained objects, like stated in the method's docstring, whatever's the current folder owner. Any comment ? Is this a bug or did I miss something ? Ah yes, I run Zope 2.5.0 --Gilles

I think, the IE 5.0 problem affects basic authentication (and the Zope Management Interface). At least my problem is a cookie problem. IE (5.5) seems to ignore "path=" arguments sometimes. Dieter

another simple one
by D. Rick Anderson 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

I need to split a variable out into two parts. The variable looks like this: 108243-132 and I need to split it where the - is. I can do this easy enough in Perl but this Zope server happens to be on a Wintendo 2000 box and I haven't been able to get perl working correctly with Zope. Is there an easy way to split a variable with dtml? "The Zope Book" that I bought doesn't seem to cover any of this, or it does in such an obscure way that I can't find what I'm looking for. It's been a great book to start with, but I need something that's a little more in depth. I've seen a few more books on Amazon and I'm thinking about buying the Zope Bible to keep me busy until Dieter's book comes out. Does anybody have any suggestions? Rick

Form Help
by Todd Loomis 20 Feb '02

20 Feb '02

Hi all: Problem: When a user submits a form I look in my database to if the email they enter has already been recorded. If so I want to redirect the back to the form with a inputs filled in informing them about the error. If the email has been added before recorded the data and show conformation. I can get the error to go back to the form and place inputs back in the form, however the form want submit if all is well: This is the basic code: <dtml-if submit> <dtml-in duplicate> ##CHECK FOR DUP### <dtml-if "email1==EMail"> <SCRIPT FOR=window EVENT=onload LANGUAGE="JScript"> alert("The E-Mail address you entered is already in use, please provide another."); </SCRIPT> <dtml-var form>##PULL IN FORM FILL IN INPUTS WITH IF STATMENTS## <dtml-else"> <dtml-call add> <dtml-in userid> <dtml-call status> <p>Your registration request has been submitted for review.</p> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-else> <dtml-var form>##PULL IN BLANK FORM## </dtml-if> Can this be fixed or a different way. Thanks, Todd
