Upload to a subfolder using an External Method
by Adam Warner 05 Nov '01

05 Nov '01

Hi all, This is the relevant part of my Python External Method that uploads an HTML file called output.xhtml to the current folder (and is given the name id). newfile=open('output.xhtml','r') newfile.seek(0) self.manage_addFile(id,newfile,content_type='text/html') newfile.close() I would instead like to upload to a pre-existing subfolder called 'cached' (although creating a folder would be no big deal: self.manage_addFolder(...)). I haven't found an applicable command in the Zope Quick Reference to change the current Zope directory: http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR/zqr/printable I imagine the command would look something like self.manage_changeFolder('cached') I know it sounds easy but I'm stumped. Perhaps this has to be done in a Python Script after the file has been uploaded to the Zope database? Many thanks, Adam PS: I'm really happy because Debian Unstable now contains the latest versions of Zope and Python. Thanks Gregor Hoffleit :-)

Pls, wait to understand what I want: Firstly, I need this sortID because my users want to sort/index the rest of items using the FIRST, UP, DOWN & LAST BUTTONS (it was done by javascript with DTML on single folder and worked and I want to apply it on multiple folders). The what I want is a coding that stores all sortIDs values from all subfolders to be stored in another field of the main folder called mainNavigationLinks - (lines and no string in order to store all sortIDs values there) situated in the properties of the main folder. Therefore I will able to use the first, up, down, last buttons coding to manipulate the stored values. If sth is unclear or it seems complicate to you pls let me know. Love from Elena. ps. I see all sortIDs and their description on the output-VIEW of my DTML-doc situated in main folder but I want to store/capture them!!!

Mailing Lists
by Mr Paul Ashley Merrill 05 Nov '01

05 Nov '01

Dear All, I'm building an intranet site for my company based on Zope and am looking for some mailing list software like Majordomo or Mailman. I basically want a mechanism where people subscribe to lists and are mailed messages when people mail the list. I also want the ability to archive all the messages, search through them, etc. I've looked at Squish Dot and it has most of what I need except you don't subscribe and it does not mail everyone on receipt. Has anyone integrated Zope and Mailman or Zope and Majordomo? If there is sample code or documentation, then please let me know. Right now I need all the help I can get. Thanks, Paul http://briefcase.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Briefcase - Manage your files online.

Re: SVG and smart images
by Ayhan Ergul 05 Nov '01

05 Nov '01

Adobe has a script on their SVG site that detects if a client has the viewer installed and if not takes it to the download site. Perhaps, you can start with that and based on the existence of viewer you can force (in javascript) loading of the svg image or the png/jpeg rendering of it. Obviously, if you want on-the-fly generation of png/jpeg version then you need either something that can do the conversion from svg or you need to generate png/jpeg rendering yourself.

Developing application in Zope: From ZClass to Python based Product
by Heimo Laukkanen 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

Hi all, I've been using Zope in a couple of projects now for a couple of months. I started developing a product as a ZClass - creating it in Zope Management Interface. It is a product similar to STX_Document, but has more fetures and uses a Java-based editor as an editor. Now my question is: can my change my product from ZClass to a python based product, and how can I do it? There are now many instances of this ZClass, and possibly in the future it would be easier if the product is written totally in Python. If there is no other way I could write a script, that goes through the whole structure of the service and copy the information from the Zclass instance and creates a new instance of this python based product and inserts the information into it. But any ideas? -huima

Redirect after login...
by Rob Foster 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

Here's what I've been trying to figure out: When of my site's users authenticates, I'd like to immediately redirect them to their own home page in the system... In other words, upon becoming a member of the system, each user will have their own instance of a "member" class and upon authenticating, I want to forward them to the "View" view of their class. Now, I know that CMF does this (sort of) but I haven't found enough documentation on CMF so I'm trying to do this with regular old zclasses, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob

garbage characters on zope.org homepage?
by marc lindahl 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

I've been getting garbage characters for some of the text on the zope.org homepage under certain circumstances: Mac IE5, with stylesheets enabled. Looking at the zope.org stylesheet (using http://www.zope.org/zope_css?pp=1) I see the <P> font is "Omni". I suspect this is my problem.... I don't have the Omni font in my system... other browsers seem to substitute, but IE5 actually shows an Omni in the font list (I have no idea where it's finding it) which shows up as a bunch of blocks on the screen, and other stuff. Is this Omni font really necessary? Is anyone else having these problems, or could this be a local configuration issue?

can I change directory of a product?
by Robert Rottermann 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

Hi, I created a couple of products. Now I think things are scattered to much, so I would like to pack several of them into one directory. My question: Does an instance of a product know anything of the directory structure that was in effect when it was created. If yes, can I tell it to adapt itself to the new structure? Thanks for any information. Robert
