DateTime inside an in loop
by Neil Burnett 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

I want to use DateTime on a date value returned in a ZSQLMethod. E.g. Say the SQL for get_records() ZSQLMethod is SELECT ID, adate FROM DateValues I want to do something like this: <dtml-in expr="get_records()"> <dtml-var ID> <dtml-var expr="_.DateTime(adate).strftime('%d-%b')"> </dtml-in> I have tried all sorts of syntax to get a result, with no result. Question 1: Can someone tell me the correct syntax please? Question 2: Can someone 'teach me to fish' by showing me the path to some documentation on namespaces? I have searched and read a fair amount today without actually getting enlightenment:-( Thanks a lot Neil

More Calling Dtml-Methods with variable names
by Jeremiah White 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

OK, I have a small problem now. This is my main DTML document1: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var expr="_.getitem(someMethod,1)"> <p> That's all. </p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Let's say the variable someMethod holds the string 'Method1'. The DTML Method 'Method1' holds this: <h1> HELLO </h1> This actually outputs what you would expect: 'header stuff' HELLO (bold) That's all. 'footer stuff' But what if Method1 is not in the same folder? For example, if it's in the folder 'Methods' which is in the folder that the main document is in. I can't seem to get that to work. I've tried this: <dtml-var expr="_.getitem('Methods.'+someMethod,1)"> and I've tried changing the variable name to 'Methods.Method1', but each of these gives me an error: This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or variable Methods.Method1. Using Methods.Method1() does not make a difference. If I just put in <dtml-var expr="Methods.Method1()"> it works. Not what I want though. Thanks for you time reading through this message. I'm really just experimenting with Zope right now, trying to learn what it can do and how it accomplishes those things. I have a feeling some experienced Zope users are laughing hysterically at some of the things I'm doing! -JeremiahGet more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Behaviour of ZCatalog changed?
by Alexander Limi 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

Hi, Just a quick question that has been bothering me for a while now: Has the behaviour of ZCatalog changed recently? In earlier versions I did a query like this: <dtml-in "Catalog(meta_type='Track', track_active='')"> This query gave me all objects of type 'Track', which had a blank track_active property. The ones which had 'on' in track_active were not displayed. When I do this query now, it gives me both the tracks that has 'on' in the track_active property, and those that don't. I've tried track_active='None' and various other ways, but I can't get it working. What I need is a way to display only the ones with an empty value in track_active. Could someone enlighten me? -- Alexander (I'm running Zope 2.3.2, by the way)

RFC:Simple Calendar of events
by Bak ＠ kedai 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

hi all riding on Calendar tag, and borrowing some codes from Udell's calendar example, i came out with a simple calendar of events product. events are stored in an RDB. simple table and queries used, therefore no dependency on special RDB features. give it a go. this is an exercise in product making, and comments, pointers, bugs, etc welcome. http://www.zope.org/Members/kedai/SempoiCalendar thanks

How Configure Server for Subdirectory Only?
by Ben Ocean 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

Hey; I've configured my Apache/RH6.2 server to serve Zope on one of my (currently inactive) URLs with this VirtualHost tag in the httpd.conf file: >>> VirtualHost 216.145.1.127> ServerAdmin webmaster(a)allmyjokes.com ServerName www.allmyjokes.com ServerAlias allmyjokes.com *.allmyjokes.com ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html Alias /icons/ /apache/vhosts/icons/ ProxyPass / http://thewebsons.com:8080/allmyjokes/ ProxyPassReverse / http://thewebsons.com:8080/allmyjokes/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://thewebsons.com:8080/allmyjokes/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://thewebsons.com:8080/p_ </VirtualHost> <<< It works fine. Now, I want to configure something similar for another URL but_I_only_want_it_for_a_subdirectory, like this: http://thewebsons.com/WebEKG I want to keep the main Web site in regular HTML and served from my Apache server, not through Zope. How do I configure it so that just_this_subdirectory is served through Zope? TIA, BenO

Installing both 2.3.3 and 2.4b1 on one win2k machine?
by Jeff Kowalczyk 23 Jun '01

23 Jun '01

I would like to add an instance of Zope 2.4b1 to my development machine running Zope 2.3.3 under Windows 2000. The 2.3.3 installation directory is "C:\program files\Zope1", I'd like 2.4b1 to be "Zope2" Zope 2.3.3 is set to start as a service, so I presume the 2.4 Win32 auto-installer will cause a conflict or overwrite the 2.3.3 service if I chose it to be a service. I would prefer that the 2.4b1 ran on demand (non-service) for at least the beta releases; then when 2.4rc1 arrives, I'd revert to 2.3.3 as the on-demand copy for working with modules that haven't been upgraded to work with 2.4 yet. Again, this is very much a non-production machine, I'm just playing around with Zope at this point. What difficulties am I going to run into to get this set up?
