How to Use Javascript returns in DTML tags
by Scheck, Herman 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

I am trying to simply use the return (rfqNumber) from a Javascript script as a variable in a DTML tag (see code below). I've also tried placing the Javascript code in-line to the DTML, as well as trying to encapsulating the script in a DTML method. None of this seems to work. Yes, I am fairly new to DTML (and Zope, for that matter). I have seen articles on how to pass arguments from DTML to Javascript functions, but not on how to use Javascript returns in DTML. Can anyone point, push, or drag me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT>  </SCRIPT>  <H3> <dtml-with siteMethods> Quote: <dtml-let DNS=dbDNS UID=dbUID PWD=dbPWD> <SELECT NAME="selQuote" SIZE=1> <dtml-in expr="dataAccess(DNS, UID, PWD, 'SELECT quoteNumber FROM qt_quotes_t, qt_quoteReqs_t WHERE qt_quotes_t.quoteReqID = qt_quoteReqs_t.quoteReqID AND qt_quoteReqs_t.rfqNumber = ' + _.chr(39) + rfqNumber + _.chr(39) + ' ORDER BY quoteNumber')"> <dtml-in sequence-item> <OPTION VALUE='<dtml-var sequence-item>'><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> </SELECT> </dtml-let> </dtml-with> <BR><BR><INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" SRC="images/imgRetrieveButton" ALT="Retrieve Quote Request"> </H3>

Siteroot weirdness
by Sven Hohage 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Hello, my ISP has installed SiteRoot on my website. To work offline I imported website.zexp but the Siteroot, even after deleting the siteroot object on my localhost machine, wants me to authenticate and the Zclasses, like I can see in the statusbar, show the online -url. I've packed ZODB and also restarted ZServer and also my browsers. Thanks.

Zope, IIS, one designer and one admin
by Jeffrey Robinson 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Hello; Currently my workplace is experimenting with using Zope (on NT) to serve or corporate Intranet. For the last while we've been prototyping everything on a test-server for now in a self-contained way (using ZServer to dish up the pages). Now we are taking a second step and trying to test Zope using IIS (version 4, I believe) to act as the webserver using pcgi. This is where things begin to get a bit sticky as I've got a reasonable amount of familiarity with Zope now, but almost none with NTServer or IIS. Working with our Admin, we went through the instructions of configuring Zope/IIS though still seem to be running into problems. (The available document, the IIS How-To on Zope.org is a bit dated, perhaps? A few of the steps differ from the ones we had to perform on our server; such as the location of the registry key we had to edit, etc). One of the items that troubles me is that perhaps I've also complicated issues by using an external version of Python (we needed to install the win32 Python extensions for some of our Zope products, which in turn required an external version of python), so I don't absolutely know if our configuration is correct or not! The info in our Zope.pcgi file is as follows: PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_PORT=8090 #PCGI_MODULE_PATH=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\lib\python\Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\lib\python\Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=C:\Progra~1\python21\python.exe PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet (The change in the PCGI_MODULE_PATH was made after the test on Zope.pcgi failed, and other examples showed it pointing to Main.py instead... the python\Zope directory is empty in my installation). If we try to access Zope via http://webtest/cgi-bin/Zope.pcgi without Zope running we get an error from Zope.pcgi that indicates it is working correctly on that end. When we start Zope and try to access it we typically get an error message on the Zope console (CMD/DOS-Window). Then it usually starts a pcgi-wrapper.exe process which then sits around using 99% of the CPU and can't be killed by an 'End Task'. Unfortunately, this seems to be doing little to gain the confidence of the Admin I am working with (he distrusts the lack of "available documentation"). I'd like to be able to pinpoint where the problem is without having to constantly bother the admin over and over again to try different options, just to ease aggravation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jeff Robinson Graphic Designer Motor Coach Industries

Unit Testing
by Roch'e Compaan 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Has somebody successfully used ZUnit to test a TTW Zope Product and if you have can you give me some pointers. I thought if I could get a handle on Zope.app() in 'n TestSuite then one should be able to test methods in Zope quite easily. The only variable that seems to expose a bit of the zope context is ZopeContext but that points only to the TestFolderInstance and I can't get a handle on any other objects. Or should one stick with ZPublisher.Test? Roché

FileStorageFormatError
by a32955＠pop-server.nc.rr.com 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

I performed a normal shutdown of my Linux box (for reasons unrelated to Zope). When I rebooted the server, Zope could not start. The traceback is below. I can find no documentation of this error. Any ideas of what I can do? Or why this happened? Zope appeared to be running normally before I shutdown the server. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/src/Zope-2.3.0-src/z2.py", line 565, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ?

Yet another newbie question!
by Steve Crook 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

As a total newbie I'm struggling to get to grips with dtml etc. I'm really puzzled by that following: the following line works fine in my application: <dtml-with expr="French.Folder1"> and so does this: <dtml-let nodename="'French'"> <dtml-with expr="_.getitem(nodename,1)"> but if I try: nodename="'French.Folder1'" <dtml-with expr="_.getitem(nodename,1)"> it doesn't work! In the interests of my receding hairline, can anyone offer an explanation?

gvibDA problems
by Nuno Maltez 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Hi, Anyone here using Zope and interbase to access an ISO8859_1 database? I'm using RedHat 7.1, Zope 2.3.3 and InterBaseCS_LI-V6.0.1.tar OpenSource (that's the binary release), python 1.5.2 from the RedHar RPMS and gvibDA-0-9-6. The database I'm trying to access was created, on another machine, with the ISO8859_1 charcter set and it works fine there. If I add the option _default_dpb = { isc_dpb_lc_ctype : 'ISO8859_1' } to the adapter, whenever I try to connect I get the following error: >>> z=gvib.connect('/usr/local/var/som_db.gdb','sysdba','masterkey') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "gvib.py", line 130, in connect ib_connect = gvibBase.IBConnect(dsn, user, password, tpb, dpb) gvibExceptions.InternalError: - bad parameters on attach or create database -- CHARACTER SET ISO8859_1 is not defined If I do not add this option, I can connect but any query using accented charcters get the error: >>> z.execute("select * from table where field LIKE '%á%'") >>> z.fetchone() Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "gvibCursor.py", line 265, in fetchone gvibBase.IBSetException(cursor.status) gvibExceptions.DataError: - arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation -- Cannot transliterate character between character sets >>> I get this same error if I try this query on isql. Does anyone know how to get isql to work with the ISO8859_1 charset as well? Do I need to recompile interbase or something? Thanks in advnce, Nuno
