what is my realname?
by Greg Conway 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

Hi all, Sorry, this has got to be stupidly obvious, but I just can't seem to work it out... this is my first attempt at anything other than simple dtml scripting! I've set up exUserFolder so that I can log in and out, etc, and I've restricted access to the "add new record" page (all this is working off a MySQL Db). So, I want to store the username of the user in the Db. I have a user "greg", the user has a property "realname", surely I must simply be able to at least display this? (using I would presume the <dtml-var var> tag). I've tried the following syntax but had no luck so far! <tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var expr="acl_users.realname.values()"></td></tr> <tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var expr="realname.values()"></td></tr> <tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var expr="REQUEST.values('realname')"></td></tr> But none of it works. I'm very much a "learn from somebody else's example" kind of guy, but I've been searching for hours and cannot seem to find an example! Any kind soul out there fancy pointing me in the direction of the correct syntax? Many thanks!

Hi guys, short question. Is there a last login method/function already implemented in Zope or do I have to write it myself. I want to have something like "username last login 25.01.02". If I have to do it myself, can you give me some hints? kind regard Damir

Photo product old -> new
by Peter Bengtsson 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

I have lots of Photo objects using the old Photo product (v.0.4). Now I want to start to use the new one (v.1.2.3). Does anybody have a suitable script or something for converting them since the two products don't work together. My current standing solution is to convert the Photos to Images and then reinstall the Photo product and convert from Images to Photos again. Cheers, Peter

restart and shutdown button
by Terence Ng 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

Hi! When I click into Control Panel, and click restart or shutdown button, it doesn't work and post an error message. Why? I am using 2.4.3 from source release, python 2.1.1, and linux system. Is it because I remove the Zope Quickstart folder? Best regards, Terence Ng _________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Persistent DynPersist
by Ben Ocean 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

Hi; Okay, I exported everything out of my old Zope Data.fs, completely rebuilt Zope and imported everything back into Data.fs. Now, I have this amazing problem. Seems that Zope can't import EMarket because there's no module named DynPersist. But it *does* import ZPatterns (a la TransactionAgents), er, rather, it imports ZPatterns as_long_as EMarkets is in the mix. If I remove the EMarkets module from Products lo and behold ZPatterns can no longer be imported and breaks! It just gets weirder and weirder. Here's a couple of tracebacks. Gosh, I hope this problem dies soon. TIA, BenO 2001-11-18T10:47:28 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.EMarket Traceback (innermost last): File /apache/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 563, in import_product File /apache/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/EMarket/__init__.py, line 12, in ?

ConflictError (ID-Counter for all Documents)
by Thomas Guettler 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

I am developing a simple Document Management System with a python product. All documents are in one folder. If a new document gets created I do the following: root.last_id=root.last_id+1 If I stress test this with httperf I get ConflictErrors. I searched and found two solutions: Catch the Exception, and retry it. Use PCounter from ZODB/test/ConflictResolution.py Are there other, better solutions? Which one is better? thomas

RE: [Zope] Zope & OpenOffice

Why not consider ReportLab, a Python library for doing just this kind of thing? I have not used it, but if I understand correctly, tt has a chart-description XML language, and it can output PDF or (via PIL) a JPG... http://www.reportlab.com Sean -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Datzert [mailto:Dirk.Datzert@rasselstein-hoesch.de] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 10:20 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope & OpenOffice Hi, I'm looking around for Python-Code or Zope-Product which uses OpenOffice as a generator for Charts. The idea is to generate XML-OpenOffice-Code via Zope, transfer the dynamic document into OpenOffice and save it as HTML with JPGs. The JPGs should then be served via Zope as a chart-picture. Or the OpenOffice document could be converted into a MSOffice Document and downloaded via Zope.

by Trevor Toenjes 26 Jan '02

26 Jan '02

I am using Formulator(which requires a tuple) to create a list of objects and still learning python scripts. and stuck. I am trying to create a master script to exist in Root that will create a list of objects from a Folder with a given ObjectType. like zClasses, DTML_Methods, or DTML_Docs. script- tuple_of_items called in Override ##parameters=myFolder, myObjectType results=[] for object in container.myFolder.objectValues('myObjectType'): tuple = object.title, object.id results.append(tuple) return results in the Items Override I enter>> tuple_of_items('idofTargetFolder','DTML_Method') I get an attribute error. Please help me with what I have missed? If I dont pass the parameters and hardcode in the script: The form renders properly, but on Submit, I get the error>> unknown_selection You selected an item that was not in the list. What is causing this? Thank you, Trevor
