Re: [Zope] How to assign a value to a dtml variable after it has been created with the let dtml tag ?
by Shai Berger 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Hi Philippe, General advice: Your code is getting too complicated for dtml. You will do much better by calculating your list of options in a Python Script. For your first problem: The only way to specify constants in dtml is as python expressions. So you would need <dtml-let isSelected="'false'"> (A python expression for a string). For what you really need: The only way you can change a variable in dtml-let is if you can do it with an expression. An assignment is a statement, so you can't use it in dtml. You need something along the lines of <dtml-let isSelected="[]"> (an empty list is false) <dtml-if ...> <dtml-call "isSelected.append(1)"> (a non-empty list is true) </dtml-if> ... But you can do everything with <select multiple name="categories:list" size=10> <dtml-let selectedcats="getCategories()"> <dtml-in expr="getAllPortalCategories()"> <dtml-let aPortalCategory=sequence-item> <dtml-if "aPortalCategory in selectedcats"> <option selected> <dtml-var aPortalCategory> </option> <dtml-else> <option> <dtml-var aPortalCategory> </option> </dtml-if> ... HTH, Shai.

Zope questions
by Dave Swegen 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Hi! I'm currently looking at the possibility of using zope for our new intranet. However, I unsurprisingly have a few questions with regards to its capabilities. Zope seems great as far as creating original content, and managing users. However, from what I've seen, using external tools seems trickier. For instance, we have a lot of tools which generate plain HTML pages (using everything from cron driven shell scripts to handwritten HTML). We obviously don't wish to reinvent all these tools (or give up the flexibility). How much would we lose switching to zope? Also, we are going to be switching from using Notes (hack, spit) to web based software covering everything from bugtracking (possibly Bugzilla) through calendering to project mangement. Since there doesn't seem to be a single product that does all this we are probably going to take a mix and match approach, using whatever we can find. What would be great is if all these various apps could be placed under zope's access management system. Would this be possible? Or would we have to duplicate access management for these external applications? Also, does anyone have experience of intergrating bugzilla and zope? So, that's my first salvo of questions. Any information would be much appreciated. Cheers Dave

It sounds to me like you want something like nortel has on their page at http://www.nortelnetworks.com/ with the link to the various countries. They use javascript to go to the various pages. I've included some of the source from that page below. <select NAME="DROPGO" onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')"> <option value="#" selected>Countries/Regions</option> <option value="/corporate/global/asia/taiwan/">Taiwan</option> <option value="/corporate/global/emea/uk/index.html">United Kingdom</option> <option value="/corporate/global/namerica/usa/">United States</option> <option value="/corporate/global/asia/vietnam/">Vietnam</option> </select> That is all client side.

Naive Q - 1 Apache Virtual Host serving Zope content
by Jock Coats 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

I've read and re-read at various places on the web site like HOW-TOs and configured and reconfigures my httpd.conf from apache but cannot seem to get this right: I have an Apache server (RH 7.1 - Apache built by hand, Zope built by hand) running lots of virtual hosts. I want one of those virtual hosts to serve Zope content from its root URL: Main Server: www.123.com -> apache content Virtserv1: www.234.com -> apache content Virtserv2: www.345.com -> zope content Now I'm using FastCGI, and I can get it working if I put my <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> and so on in the main server conf... But what do I do if I only want to serve one virtual server from Zope? Where do I put the <If Module... stuff? Where do I put the <Location...FastCGIExternalServer directive? And are all paths relative to the document root of the server or of the virtual server? At the moment I have tried something like: <VirtualHost zope.abc.com> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/abc/zope <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCGIIpcDir /tmp (relative to Linux root, yes?) FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/html/abc/zope -socket zope.soc -pass-header Authorisation </IfModule> <Location> SetHandler fast-cgiscript </Location> </VirtualHost> ...but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
