Add property to DTML Document, not via a script?
by Roger Erens 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Hello all, I've got this: Root Folder --AddPlayer (DTML Method) --AddPlayerScript (Python Script) --Players (Folder) --Player1 (DTML Document) --Player2 (DTML Document) --... To add a player (DTMLDocument) in the Players folder and then add a property to the newly created DTMLDocument I needed to take refuge to calling the Python script (as is shown in chapter 5 of the Zope Book). Could someone give me the 'DTML translation' of the script so that I can keep the functionality together in the AddPlayer DTMLMethod? I think I would need something like <dtml-call expr="Player3.manage_addProperty('Score', 0.00, 'float')"> but with something instead of the hardcoded 'Player3'. This is the AddPlayer method: [snip] <dtml-with Players> <dtml-let NewPlayerID="'Player3'"> <dtml-call expr="manage_addDTMLDocument(id=NewPlayerID,title='nonsense')"> <dtml-call expr="AddPlayerScript(NewPlayerID)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-with> [snip] And this is the AddPlayerScript (called with the parameter playerID): [snip] doc=getattr(context,playerID) doc.manage_addProperty('Score', 0.00, 'float') [snip] PS: Yes, in the long run, I *will* put all the functionality in a Pythonscript and skip the DTMLmethod alltogether. First I want to understand this stuff.

Dtml-in start=CST object not working
by Paz 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Please, oh please can someone tell me why this doesn't seem to work? <dtml-in "getLG2(lg1=sData.get('key1'))" size=12 orphan=0 sort=value start=sData.get('tmStart'))> <dtml-if previous-sequence><dtml-call "sData.set('tmPrev', _['previous-sequence-start-number'])"></dtml-if> .. .. .. <dtml-if next-sequence><dtml-call "sData.set('tmNext', _['next-sequence-start-number'])"></dtml-if> </dtml-in> sData is a CST 0.9 integer object. I'm trying to assign the proper sequence-next/previous values to a URL In order to put the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons anywhere on the page (next to each other inside the interface instead of either side of the form) The tmNext/Prev variables are then set in a skin to set the sData.get('tmStart') value as an integer, then the next load should feed this into the start mechanism of the dtml-in. I'm able to see that an integer is set to sData at the right time, but the In loop doesn't use the value to start from. If I change it for a static number, then of course the whole thing works properly, but I'm lost why I cant take this from the request? I also tried setting these objects as normal REQUEST items, but it still doesn't work. please and thank you, Paul Zwarts

Hi Jens, I got the same result with your example ie. the test.svg can be "Viewed" but when it is included in index_html, only the text message is displayed.

Zope newbee fighting with manage_addNewFile
by HNBeck＠t-online.de 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Hi, I've build the Zoo Example form the Zope book, but instead of guest list I want to add documents (that means a document list instead of guest list) I done a context.manage_addFile(id, title="test", file=path), where "path" is given by a dtml form. But this only creates files containing one single string indentically to "path", nothing to see from the content of the file. What's going wrong ? Permissions are set correctly, I think. Thanks !

Python objects reference?
by Lars Heber 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

After receiving a snippet of python script, I finally decided to have a closer look at that language, and I was surprised how simple and comfortable it is. I think I'll like it! But: Where can I find a reference for the objects I can use in those scripts? I received the following snippet: try: my_index = context.dirIndex. except: my_index = 0 But I only want my_index to become 0 when the object and ONLY then object, i. e. without acquisition, has the prop dirIndex. s. th. like in DTML: <dtml-if "_.hasattr(aq_explicit,'dirIndex')"> Can anyone help me please? Where can I get information about python script? I looked at python.org, but didn't find what I was looking for...

Zip a file on the fly
by Tom Deprez 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Hi, I'm using LocalFS to show pushed jpeg files from a PACS system. These Jpeg files are all sorted in folders (each patient has a folder) etc. Now I would like the user to be able to download a complete folder, just by clicking it on the browser. The best way to let the user download the whole folder is (I think) to first zip the folder and then let the user download the zip file. (If there are ways to download a complete folder, that's even better). Now, are there people who know of a good python library for zipping a file (.zip format) Or do people know if it is possible to download a complete folder? Thanks in advance, Regards, Tom.
