multi-language apps
by A. Giacomelli 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

hi, i would appreciate feedback from the list on the implementation of multilanguage applications in zope. my experience is in php, where i have been working wih 'dictionaries' based on associative arrays, e.g. key_water-> 'it' -> 'acqua', 'en' -> 'water', ... and then retrieving definitions via something like getdef($selected_language,key_water) other localization issues (e.g. changing international phone prefixes, currency etc.) are then dealt with by checking the $selected_language variable (typically associated to a cookie). i have read about the dtml-vary tag, but i would not see it impractical to implement database-based dictionaries close to the associative array thing. TIA for any comments, and regards -- ========================================= Andrea Giacomelli Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia Environment Group http://www.crs4.it/~andreag =========================================

Difference between zope and apache
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hi, I've just noticed an annoying difference in the handling of directories in zope. If I create an directory /myDirectory, put an index_html file there, and a my.css file the index_html should use in the same directory refering to it with <link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="my.css"> in the head of my document I get a structure that would work perfectly fine in apache, but not in zope. /myDirectory /myDirectory/index_html /myDirectory/my.css Accessing http://example.com/myDirectory in zope would give me the files http://example.com/myDirectory/index_html and http://example.com/my.css In apache the server would return a location header like: Location: http://example.com/myDirectory/ and then my browser would know it should ask for http://example.com/myDirectory/my.css Zope doesn't seem to set the location header, so asking for http://example.com/myDirectory/ http://example.com/myDirectory returns different results if the index_html contains relative URLs below /myDirectory/. Bug or feature? -jf

Underscore in Python Modules
by P B 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hello, I have a number of python modules I would like to run from ZOPE. The problem is that they contain many underscores and double underscores. So when I try to import them as Python Scripts, Zope gives me an error that "attributes beginning with _ are not allowed" Is there a way around this? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

this() permission problem
by seb bacon 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

I'm getting an Unauthorised exception from my DTML Method, for anything which refers to this(). I find this a bit bemusing since this() just returns self. So, for example, I *can* do: <dtml-var getId> But I can't do: <dtml-var "this().getId()"> Any ideas? Cheers, seb -- [] j a m k i t seb bacon T: 020 7749 7218 F: 020 7739 8683 M: 07968 301 336 W: www.jamkit.com

You can't use dtml inside dtml. You probably mean: <td> <select name="Type"> <option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Call'">selected</dtml-if>> Call </option> <option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Meeting'">selected</dtml-if>> Meeting </option> <option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Letter'">selected</dtml-if>> Letter </option></select> </td> Troy -----Original Message----- From: Tim Considine [mailto:timc@bizdev.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 12:55 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] HTML Selected not working I am trying to make a value from an SQL query the selected one from an HTML option list.

I'm trying to produce the following results in an HTML form list/menu where: <dtml-var name> - <dtml-var descirption> gives me something like: [ http://www.zope.org - the official Zope homepage ] I only want the first few characters of the description though i.e. [ http://www.zope.org - the official... ] I'm having a little problem getting the desired results though as I get an *Error Type: KeyError* *Error Value: description[0]* <dtml-in expr="getLinks(category=_['name'])"> <option value="<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var name> - <dtml-var expr="_['description[0]']"> <-- problem here obviously <dtml-var expr="_['description[1]']"> | | <dtml-var expr="_['description[9]']">... </option> </dtml-in> Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance :) Lee

Re: [Zope] Parents id of a specific object

But be careful... you'll get an error when you bump up against the root. You need to test for it... something like <dtml-if expr="_.hasattr(this(), 'aq_parent')"> <dtml-if expr="_.hasattr(this().aq_parent, 'aq_parent')"> > From: "Benoit Dominiak" <benoit.dominiak(a)makinacorpus.com> > Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 14:39:48 +0100 > To: "marc lindahl" <marc(a)bowery.com> > Subject: RE: [Zope] Parents id of a specific object > > > Yes, it works !!
