Zope 2.4.3 & PDFs = BUG?
by B Griggs 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

I have created a simple page in zope that references 2 PDF files for user viewing. Whenever I choose to view the PDFs I get a corrupted PDF that is unviewable. I added the PDFs to the current directory as file objects and when zipped they come down fine. Code follows: --- HTML snippet --- Check out this college research paper produced by several students at MIT.  Down from the Top of Its Game: The Story of Infocom, Inc. (<a href=infocom_paper.pdf>PDF</a>: 9.261MB, slides only, <a href=infocom_presentation.pdf>PDF</a>: 5.2MB)  Very well done! --- end HTML snippet --- Ideas? regards, B Griggs I think there is a world market for maybe 5 computers. -- Thomas Watson, IBM boss, 1943

Hey Peter, > > - Not sure what you mean about "last post" > > When listing all there is a date for when the post was first entered and one > for when the last subpost was entered. I think this is a feature too many. The reason for the last post is to let you know if there is activity on a board. Actually, this is probably the feature that I use the most. I can scan down that list to see if anyone has posted today (of course I can also use new_posts). > > > - I used to do the NT in text but I like the graphic as it stands out a > > bit. > > Just remember, not everyone understands what it means.

Well, it's nifty, but I'm having difficulty constructing a correct re to handle this sort of expression: <TR VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="left"><TD>1072  </TD><TD> 1:16PM  </TD><TD NOWRAP><A HREF=./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1072D0107 TARGET="ii">Traffic Collision - Property Damage</A>  </FONT</TD><TD>SR1 JNO TAM JUNCTION  </TD><TD NOWRAP>Marin  </TD></TR> I want the text (minus the tags and entities), and I want the url from the <a> tag. Technically, I want the data from all the cells, but since I've had difficulty, I'm attempting to do it by parts. The following doesn't quite do it at the <td> level: <TD[^>]*>(?:<[^>]*>)*<A HREF=(\S+).*?>([^<>]*?)(?:<[^>]*>)*</TD> The source URL is: http://cad.chp.ca.gov/sa_stcc.asp?centerin=GGCC&style=l I get the following data: Data: [('./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1477D0107', '  '), ('./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1463D0107', '  '), ('./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1460D0107', '  '), ('./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1457D0107', '  '), ('./ii.asp?Center=GGCC&LogNumber=1447D0107', '  '), ('./ii.asp? .. etc ---------- Keith J.

RE: [Zope] FW: Comparing variables

My guess is one of your variables is a string, the other an int. Do something like: <dtml-if "_.string.atoi(seqnum) == copyitem"> to convert your sequence item or copyitem, which ever is the string, to an int.

using zExtraExAuths w/ exUserFolder for IMAP auth
by Shawn Grant 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

I'm using zope 2.4.2, python 2.1. Trying to setup IMAP authentication using zExtraExAuths. exUserFolder seems to working properly on its own for me with the Authentication sources it comes with. When I choose IMAP Authentication source I get the following error. Anyone using this product? Any ideas? *Error Type: NameError* *Error Value: name 'currentAuthSource' is not defined* Traceback (innermost last): File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 226, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Zope) File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_addexUserFolderForm) File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_addexUserFolderForm) File /var/lib/kb/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: manage_addexUserFolderForm) File /var/lib/kb/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 354, in _bindAndExec (Object: manage_addexUserFolderForm) File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/App/special_dtml.py, line 244, in _exec (Object: manage_addexUserFolderForm) File /var/lib/kb/./zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 231, in eval (Object: authForm(mapping=_)) (Info: authForm) File <string>, line 0, in ?

xmDateTime Substitute for Zope?
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

An application has need for the RelativeDateTime() feature of mxDateTime. However, if one tries (in a python script)... from mx.DateTime import * .. Zope returns an error message indicating that the attempted import was unauthorized. Does anyone know of a substitute? Or how the problem could be circumvented? What I'm really looking for is a way to calculate the date 20 months from now(). mxDateTime has a handy feature for that, which would simply be: LaterDate = now() + RelativeDateTime(months=+20) Would this be possible via an External Method or is there a way for Zope to do the arithmatic without needing mxDateTime? Thanks in advance, Ron

Mystified by failed variable lookups
by Andrew J. Templin 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

I have some DTML code that looks like this: ----- <dtml-let version="'2.0'"> version: <dtml-var version> <tr> <td width="100%" class="displayinfo"><dtml-in list_Dependencies><dtml-var sso_data></dtml-in></td> </tr> </dtml-let> ----- "list_Dependencies" is a SQL Method that calls a MySQL database. The query for list_Dependencies is: ----- SELECT sso_data FROM SSOData,ProjectNames WHERE proj_name='<dtml-var description sql_quote>' AND proj_id=sso_id AND sso_field="Dependencies" AND sso_version='<dtml-var version sql_quote>' ----- Ugly, eh? You'll note that I'm using the dtml-var "description" in the query; this is a defined property of the containing Folder object. If I do a lookup only using the 'description' property all is well; however, the SQL Method can NEVER find the 'version' variable if it is defined by FORM data (or even using dtml-let, as above). I get a KeyError. What am I not understanding here? Is there some difference between explicit properties (like those declared in the Properties page of a folder) versus FORM data or a variable declared using dtml-let? If so, why can the SQL Method see one but not the other? Awaiting enlightenment and many thanks, Andrew -- Andrew J.
