New Zope site... maybe
by Paul Winkler 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

I stumbled on this page today: www.desktoplinux.com A pretty nice-looking portal. I can't find any mention of what they're running, but something about it said "zope" to me... but netcraft says it's running apache. Well, OK, we know that doesn't necessarily mean it's not zope. Curious, I played around and discovered something: Take any page on their site. These, for example: http://www.desktoplinux.com/products/index.html http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT9545254683.html Chop off .html, and replace it with /index_html: http://www.desktoplinux.com/products/index/index_html http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT9545254683/index_html No matter what, you get the same thing as if you went to: http://www.desktoplinux.com/index_html Smells like Acquisition! -- paul winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com music: http://www.reacharms.com calendars: http://www.calendargalaxy.com

Removing " 's from strings
by Peter Armstrong 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

I'm trying to make an id from a string, but the string has " on each end of it, and I can't find a way to get rid of them in Zope. I thought of something like: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('thing', _.string.translate(thestring, _.string.maketrans('',''), '"'))"> But that seems to treat it as the start of a piece of text, and so then thinks that the dtml-let I have just before that line doesn't have a closing tag! A way to use the url_quote parameter at the same time as setting it's value in the REQUEST thingy would be good, but I don't how to work it. Can anyone help?

ZPT: space in string
by kent sin 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

I got compile time error with <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" tal:attributes="content string:text/html; charset=$encoding"> I think that space is used to identify a new attribute here, so zpt take charset as a new attribute. How can the space inserted? Rgs, Kent Sin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I wrote a sample product that addresses some of these issues. If you want to migrate from "foobar.html" type URLS to Zopified "/foo/bar/" URLS, it works like a champ. It's far from industrial strength, so use at your own risk. http://www.zope.org/Members/abgillette/EZ404 > -----Original Message----- > From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of > Oliver Bleutgen > Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 6:13 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope] New Zope site... maybe > > > Markus Schaber wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Lennart Regebro wrote: > > > > > >>>A pretty nice-looking portal.

The full featured python ?
by Gilles Lenfant 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

Hi, Is there somewhere a product or patch that gives a FULL FEATURED python for Zope scripts and DTML . Lots of python packages are more useful than "math" (cosinus and logarithm are well known essential Web resources ;-) In addition, "map", "filter" and "reduce" are useful shortcuts for dealing with lists. As myself and people who work with me are the only ones who may write DTML and python scripts, there is no secutity issue with a full featured Python on my server. Thanks in advance --Gilles

How do I use dtml-var image tag with a string
by Jacob Singh 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

So this is the deal, I have a URL stored in a database. This url is to an image on the site and when it gets returned I want to Do something like: <dtml-var myURL> except if I do this I just end up displaying the string instead of getting a dynamically generated image tag. So I tried <dtml-var <dtml-var myURL> > this of course errored. NE ideas? Thank you J
