RE: [Zope] Time Zone question

Thanks Florent. if this has puzzled anyone else.... We changed the zLOG.py script, and Lo! logging is now in localtime. A quick scan through various python script directories shows time functions are all hardcoded as "time.gmtime". Obviously to be consistent, all scripts would have to be modified to "time.localtime", else yur zope envt would be in a right mess. I think someone raised the request prior to 2.4.3 (ie, "Could it be included in 2.4.3?"). One solution of course is to set your machine's "GMT" as the actual local time, and then not need a timezone setting. In our case, all our machines are NTP sync'ed, so we're stuck with GMT. cheers Graham -----Original Message----- From: Florent Guillaume [mailto:fg@nuxeo.com] Sent: Wednesday, 19 December 2001 3:59 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Time Zone question If you really want to change this, change the log_time function in zLog.py to use localtime instead of gmtime.

Code style check

>From within a DTML page, I'm calling an external method 'EditEntry' like this: <a href="./Z200/EditEntry?entry=3" style="text-decoration: none;"><font color="green">e</font></a> Inside the external method, I'm extracting the name of the page and the 'entry' value like this: pageID = self.absolute_url().split('/')[-1] entryNumber = self.REQUEST['entry'] This works.

Zcatalog and getObject problem
by Geoff Horne 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

I'm getting weirdness with getObject() that i can't find an answer to: i want to troll my catalog to get objects, then interrogate the objects to call methods. In theory i /could/ just shove all the objects in as meta data, but getObject is meant to work me around that. SO here's the problem. <dtml-in db> <dtml-with getObject> <dtml-var id> <dtml-var foo> <dtml-var x_test_method> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> When i run this is get a 'KeyError' because x_test_method is not in the metadata. ('id' and 'foo' get returned just fine and i can call 'x_test_method' from the real object without error). It seems to me like getObject() just ain't working. Am i using getObject() incorrectly ?? or do i have a deeper problem like the fact that my zCatalog is inside a SiteRoot and this is munging the object path ?

unable to instanciate product instance
by Jerry McRae 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

Hi Zopeople, I did a silly thing. I was testing something in my product class, and I foolish put a lambda method in my class. Consequently, the class no longer works, AND I cannot display the containing folder because it breaks trying to restore the class. I could find no related items in the list. How do I delete items from my folder if I cannot display the folder? --Jerry /\_/\ Jerry McRae \|||/ mail safely: The Bat! 1.53d (~o o~) (stuck in win98) (. .)

ZClasses
by Stadtverwaltung Schwarzenberg 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

Hi there! I got a little, tiny Problem with ZClasses. I have 2 Classes, let's call them foo1 (folderish object) and foo2. They both reside inside a single Product - call it fooProduct. All I wanna do is to alter the (standard) constructor of foo1 so that once an instance of foo1 is created another instance of foo2 is created INSIDE foo1. Right now I have: contructor of foo1: <dtml-with "foo1.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "foo2_contrcutor('idoffoo2', REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> contructor of foo2: <dtml-with "foo2.createInObjectManager(id, REQUEST)"> </dtml-with> but once I try to add a new foo1 instance I get *global name 'foo2' is not defined*

Hi Casey, - re: what you <CD> wrote Jerry on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 at 11:48 AM: CD> Did you try using FTP or WebDAV? CD> ftp://myzope:8021/ Thanks. I never though of that, although... ftp://127.0.0.1:8021 in IE gives me error 530, Unauthorized. OK, but it never showed the login prompt. OK, so now I have a FTP question, since I don't know much about it. How do I pass it my name and password in a browser since it doesn't prompt for it? I have a windows ftp program (part of "Drag and File"), which I use for my web servers. I have tried hostnames 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1:8021, localhost, and localhost:8021. I always get "Unable to Connect", which is quite helpful :( Zope IS running, and the monitor shows ZServer successful login when I was trying from IE, although I couldn't connect. My broken instance is in the root folder. Could that cause a problem with ftp also? -- /\_/\ Jerry McRae \|||/ mail safely: The Bat! 1.53d (~o o~) (stuck in win98) (. .)
