Comparing variables
by Beaudette, Sheree 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

I need some help!! I have a form that sets the variable copyitem, a number from 1 to ... (an integer) <input type="text" name="copyitem"> Once I submit the form I want copyitem to be compared with a sequence-number from a SQL query, code as follows <dtml-in clsqGetNotes> <dtml-let seqnum=sequence-number> <dtml-if "seqnum == copyitem"> do something true <dtml-else> do something false </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> Since I've written these variables to the screen I know that they're equal, yet they still do the 'do something false' . I hope it's something easy I've overlooked. I didn't know if there were type differences that I need to convert. How do I convert these? Do I need a python script? I'm new to Python so can you help??? Thanks in advance!

ExtImage madness - upload fails from script (python)
by Tim Hicks 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

I'm running zope 2.3.3 on redhat 6.x with ExtFile 1.1.3 (no patches) installed and working with PIL. Extfile appears correctly installed in the Control_Panel/Products list, and I can successfully add an instance from the ZMI - including creating the thumbnail. So now, I'm trying to upload from an image (actually, potentially several) from a form of my own. The form POSTs to a script (python) which does numerous other things, and then tries to do a manage_addExtImage(). Here is the relevant code... ---- request = context.REQUEST f_request = context.REQUEST.form photos = ['photoUpload1', 'photoUpload2', 'photoUpload3'] try: prop_id = str(f_request['PROPERTY_ID']) if hasattr(getattr(context, context.root()).photos, prop_id): #The folder already exists, so we don't need to do anything pass else: #We need to add a folder to hold all photos for this property getattr(context, context.root()).photos.manage_addFolder(prop_id) photo_folder = getattr(getattr(context, context.root()).photos, prop_id) #Need to iterate over 'photos' and to add them all for photo in photos: if len(request.form[photo].read()) == 0: #The form was submitted without a file for this field pass else: #They all need unique id's... I'm going with integers intid = 1 while 1: if hasattr(photo_folder, str(intid)): intid = intid + 1 else: photo_folder.manage_addProduct['ExtFile'].manage_addExtImage(file=request.fo rm[photo], create_prev=1, maxx=50, maxy=50, ratio=1) break -------- Obviously, this is an abridged version of a much longer script. Anyway, the upshot of submitting my form is that an ExtImage instance is added in the correct place but of zero size (in bytes) - i.e. none of the data actually gets added. However, to prove that I'm almost there, the instance does actually have an ID = filename_from_client_machine and title = path_from_client_machine. The infuriating thing is that I've had this working before, but broke it somewhere along the way and don't know when or how. Please... I'm tearing my hair out over this one. cheers tim

[Bug] Formulator 1.0 modifies ZODB on startup
by Dieter Maurer 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

Formulator 1.0 writes its help pages to the ZODB during each startup. This makes it impossible to use Zope in "read-only" mode when "Formulator" is installed. Patches (working for Python 2.1 and above) available on demand. Dieter

When I try to access the portal with user that is not authenticated somewhere I get an error. Traceback below. CMF-version 1.2 Zope 2.4.3 Python Version 2.1.1 If I authenticate with a user in the root folder outside the cmf-portal, everything works. Any ideas?

MailHost Question
by Michael 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

I'm trying to set up a mail form that has file upload capabilities. I'm using the code below and it works, but one has to enter the filename manually to get it to show up by the attachment icon. Is there any way to have the file name automagically entered? <dtml-boundary type="application/octet-stream" disposition="attachment" encode="base64" filename_expr="doc_name"> <dtml-var expr="resume_file.read()"></dtml-mime> I know I can use filename_expr="resume_file.getId() if I'm using a document from Zope, but I would like an anonymous user to be able to use this as well. -- Michael Lewis

using aq vs. REQUEST to get an object
by Trevor Toenjes 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

I used REQUEST as a brute force method to solve my problem, but figure there is a "better way." How do I gracefully call myDoc, from method1, without forcing into REQUEST? I have unsuccessfully tried aq_parent and aq_explicit, to get past the myMethods namespace. request path... Root.com/myFolder/myDoc/myEdit_script ROOT | myFolder | myDoc myMethods |method1 |method2 myEdit_script 'myEdit_script' includes <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id',id)"> to force 'id' into REQUEST. and <dtml-with myMethods><dtml-var method1></dtml-with> 'method1' calls myDoc with <dtml-with REQUEST><dtml-var "_.getitem(_['id'],1)" html_quote></dtml-with> This was to avoid inheriting the 'id' of myMethods(Folder). myDoc could be anywhere in many subfolders. TFTH, Trevor

hide ":8080"
by Terence Ng 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

Hi!I am a newbie in Zope and web server. Is Zserver reliable or prefer to use Apache as front end? Now I am using Dynamic DNS (www.dyndns.org) because of dynamic IP, and my ISP has blocked the port 80. My Zope default is port 8080. If people visit my web site, is it compulsory to type ":8080" after my domain name? Is there any way that can visit my site without mentioning port 8080?Sincerly,Terence --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? 曬 4R 數碼相，每張只需 $2.5！ Print 4R Digital photo for $2.5 only!.
