Re: [Zope] CatalogAwareBase doesn't auto-reindex?

Hi Bryan, Please keep the mail on the maillist, thanks. This is a limitation when using prebuilt forms from the properties interface. The prebuilt propertysheet editing forms don't call reindex_object. You need to create a custom properties-editing form with a target that calls reindex_object as well as modifying the properties. You could make the target a Python Script or a DTML method, as long as it calls the right stuff (manage_changeProperties and reindex_object) on itself with the right values.

MailHost Question (multiple To addresses) from Python Script
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Does anyone know how use the MailHost object to send copies of the same message to multiple users from a python script? Using a semi-colon to separate users (e.g., "user1(a)host.com; user2(a)host.com") doesn't work, at least when using MS Exchange. Any hints would be appreciated. Best wishes everyone, Ron

Is this it?
by tom smith 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

I recently asked how to call a ZSQL method in a folder higher up the hierarchy. I can do it if I manually get the parent. This can't be right can it? ### parent = context.REQUEST.PARENTS[0] results = parent.test_sql() t = '' for n in results: t = t + n.project_name + '\n' return t ### Surely, there's a way to do it using acquisition so that it would recursively look higher up the folder structure to find the ZSQL method? Thanks Tom -- tom smith | tom(a)othermedia.com | http://www.othermedia.com/blog 0207 089 5959 | Floor 3, The Pavilion, Newhams Lane, London SE1 3UZ

RE: [Zope] Add more examples in Zope Book API reference
by hans 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Please, No. what i want, is a quick, concise reference. examples clutter essentials. Material w examples is better left to tutorials.. However, i would like to have indications about which feature works with which zope+python version. also, i would welcome a table of contents with url#section... im glad the Zope Book exits.

ZBabel - does it require an external database ?
by Gitte Wange 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hello, I have just been looking at the ZBabel product because I need to create a multilinugual CMF site. It looks very great but ... in the README file I read that you should setup a mysql database. Is this required or is it just if you are using a database to store your object datas in ..?

HTML validation failure with DTML-renders -- ends tag with />
by Trevor Toenjes 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

I tried validating Zope's HTML for the first time and I have come across something strange... Zope inserts '/>' as the close, instead of just '>' for the automatic '<img src...' created when calling an image with DTML. Here is my code just to make sure I am not doing something stupid. bullet is a .gif. <dtml-var bullet> renders... <img src="zope/bullet" alt="" height="14" width="13" border="0" /> It also seems to do this for SiteRoot's insertion into the header. <base href="http://www.myzope.com/folder/folder/" /> -Trevor

Dark or light voodoo with properties
by Ian J Cottee 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

The problem is simple - I have a website and at the top level there are some properties defined. I now want to use exactly the same code but allow the user to choose a different set of properties to use depending on the URL ... so given the following structure /folder1 /black/ /folder2 /web/folder3 /green/ /folder4 /folder5 /black/web/folder1 will give you folder1 with the black properties and /green/web/folder1 will give you folder1 with the green properties. I have a feeling this is so simple I'll kick myself when somebody tells me the answer but I can't for the life of me find it at the moment in the mailing lists. OK - listen - I'll kick myself now - just to get some credit rating >KICK< >KICK< Anybody out there who can help me? Ian

Using XEmacs with Zope
by Oliver Sturm 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi! I'm having some problems with that combination, it seems. I can open a DTML method from the Zope ftp server with XEmacs. Right after opening the DTML method, XEmacs logs the message "Unable to set umask to 22 on ffweb#8021" (ffweb is the server). Now, real problems come when I want to save the thing using C-x C-s: XEmacs renames the original DTML method as a backup copy (appending a ~) and creates a new object for the changed content, only this is a DTML document instead of a method. At the same time, it creates a log message saying "CHMOD 660 failed for /test/vtest on ffweb#8021". I have read lots of stuff about how to use different modes for editing and so on, but nobody seems to have these problems. Any ideas? Oliver -- Oliver Sturm / <sturm(a)oliver-sturm.de>
