Using Zope for Document Collaboration
by Mark Langkau 24 May '01

24 May '01

Hi, Forgive me if this isn't the correct list for this question. I need some design help - and suggestions of tools to use would be great. I'll take further discussions of "design" issues off line, and stick to specific Zope/tool questions here. Quick Summary: I need to take an incoming MS-Word file and break it up into sections, and post them on our Zope intranet for various employees to edit and contribute to. When completed, the sections need to be rolled back up into a single file that can be converted back to MS-Word. Users will not have access to the Zope Management Interface. Details: We have several people in multiple locations that need to edit different parts of the same document - anytime - online. My first thought is ZWiki, but I'm not sure if other options (if any) are better. (I'm a wiki newbie). We get several Request For Proposal (RFP) docs that require several departments to contribute information and answer questions. I'd like to convert the client's original file (MS-Word) into something that Zope can publish and allow edits. The users in our departments will not have access to the Zope Management Interface, and the goal is to use just a browser to call up an RFP and answer questions in sections pertaining to their own department. Anyone working on the RFP can see the entire document (no dept. restrictions). The final format back to the client is usually very specific, and again in MS-Word format, so I'm not looking to produce a "final" presentation document directly from the Zope site. However, we will need to "roll-up" all of the parts of the RFP back into a single doc for manual reformatting as required by the client. If I save the Word doc into html format, can I convert that to Structured Text and paste that into Wiki pages? Does anyone have a script that could automate this - breaking sections (based on html heading tags perhaps) into separate wiki pages? (Or even just to convert html to stx?) I'm thinking that breaking the RFP up into separate pages may minimize the chance for 2 people to save changes to the same page at the same time - or lock one page and not save all day, etc. (It'll still happen, but perhaps not as often ;-) Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks, Mark

Re: [Zope] Zope and Dreamweaver WebDAV
by dave＠kovach.com 24 May '01

I too use Dreamweaver as an editor (its gotten alot better really!) and want to try and assist making it a great frontend to Zope. Though, as Jason noted - it is a total memory hog. But, lots of proven features. Thing is - when using it - you still need to use the ZMI to add and maintain objects correct? What about an ext. to be able to add objects from Dreamweaver? Thoughts...

How to get raw upload data from POST?
by Brad Clements 24 May '01

24 May '01

I'm working to upload ADO recordsets in XML format. I use the XMLHTTP object to POST raw <?xml> text as the "body" of the post. Content-Type isn't set in the POST request. I'm trying to figure out how to read() the body of the post. Seems the FieldStorage is doing something I can't figure out. REQUEST.read() doesn't work REQUEST.stdin.read() doesn't work (from an external method) REQUEST._file is None I don't want to fake up a form post.. How do I get at the body of the post through REQUEST?

converting from XMLdocument to parsedXML
by ed colmar 24 May '01

24 May '01

Hey Friends! I'm in the process of converting to parsedXML, and after browsing the zope-xml archives, I'm still stumped... Maybe it's too early in the morning to think about this... =) Can anyone that's using the parsedXML product, offer me a few hints? I don't think I'm too far off. Here's what I'm trying to achieve: def update(self, client_url): """ Fetch the content from a remote url and rebuild the client. """ import urllib # URL tools from Products.ParsedXML import ParsedXML, Printer, ExtraDOM, DOM import DateTime # date calculations globalURL=client_url # retreive XML file resourceURL=globalURL + "localResources.xml" f=urllib.urlopen(resourceURL) # parse RSS file to DOM using parsedXML d=ParsedXML.parseXML(f) # get node attributes c=d.getElementsByTagName('StarRaveData')[0] self.link=c.text_content('localSRSiteURL') srversion=c.text_content('CurrentSRVersion') # get djs djlist=d.getElementsByTagName('StarRaveDJ') for StarRaveDJ in djlist: # get information about the item djid=StarRaveDJ.text_content('SRDJID') djname=StarRaveDJ.text_content('SRDJName') city=StarRaveDJ.text_content('SRDJCity') state=StarRaveDJ.text_content('SRDJState') country=StarRaveDJ.text_content('SRDJCountry') # add the DJ self.addDj(djid, djname, city, state, country) return 1

Passing namespace from DTML to Python Script
by Chris Withers 24 May '01

24 May '01

Hi, I want to call a python script from DTML and pass the namespace, the trouble is, the PS needs to be called from a python expression in DTML. So, taking the simple DTML method: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-let test_thang="'Test Thang'"> <dtml-var "test_ps" html_quote> </dtml-let> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ...and a simple python script (with namespace bound to _): return _['test_thang'] ..which of coruse, doesn't work, it gives me: <PythonScript instance at 01B17ED0> ..so change <dtml-var "test_ps" html_quote> to <dtml-var "test_ps()" html_quote> and now I get: Error type: KeyError Error value: test_thang ...fair enough thinks me, I need to do the old dtml trick and so change to: <dtml-var "test_ps(_.None,_)" html_quote> ...and now I get: Error type: TypeError Error value: no arguments expected ...OK, irritating, but lets try changing the parameter list to 'context, _': Finally I get what I want: Test Thang However, now I want to call it somewhere else as just <dtml-var test_ps>, I get: Error type: TypeError Error value: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 0 ...at this point my head exploded and I thought I'd mail the list. Can anyone explain how Ishould eb doing this? cheers, Chris

Vote for Windowing Toolkit to use for Fat Client
by Jeff Sasmor 24 May '01

24 May '01

Chris, If you are going to use wxPython, check out wxDesigner. (http://www.roebling.de) It's not free and it's not Open Source, but it's only $US89 and it can act as a decent RAD tool. It can build a lot of your app's GUI framework. I have not used wxDesigner a lot yet, but I bought the BlackAdder personal use (beta) package. Largely a waste of money. It's debugger is nearly useless and BA crashes constantly. It's aspect as an extension of QT designer is interesting, and it bears watching to see if it improves when they bring out the real thing. Wing IDE is nice for debugging. Wing comes with source, it's just not Open Source. I think a combo of wxDesigner and Wing would be nice (and it's what I am planning to use myself till something better comes along.)
