DateTime() BUG!
by Kai Hofmann 07 May '01

07 May '01

I am still a stupid beginner to Zope, but when I am not completly wrong, then I have found another BUG within ZOPE's DateTime(): (pseudo syntax): enddate=2001/05/04 DateTime().lessThanEqualTo(enddate) results for today (2001/05/04) into FALSE !!! I can only assume that this happens, because the DateTime() returns a date and a time - where enddate is only a date .... Can someone verify this and report the bug to the developers??? Its really important for me!! Thanks Kai -- Institut für Seeverkehrswirtschaft und Logistik http://www.isl.org/ Dipl.-Inform.

Properties and naming...
by Magnus Heino (Rivermen) 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi. How come a ZClass can have PropertySheet with properties named like 'Måndag', but if you create a python product and inherit from PropertyManager and add 'Måndag' to _properties, you get an syntax error on the 'å'? You get the same error in you try to do something with the variable in a Python Script. The ZCatalog on the other hand, deals with the propertie just fine. So, the question is, is 'Måndag' a valid propertie name? /Magnus

Proper Case function
by Tommy Johnson 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hello all, I'm looking for a proper case function --> something that will return the string "Category" from the string "category". It doesn't have to worry about if the string is a proper name, but that would be nice. I'm just trying to figure out if a function exists that will capitalize the first letter of a string (or if I have to script something). Thanks in advance, Tommy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I select and copy/cut in the source, move to destination and click "paste". For me, at least, it would be much more helpful, if the controlling buttons would be both at top and bottom. Dieter

broken root security tab
by Dave Ahn 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hello, I recently upgraded to Zope 2.3.2 and added several new products. Sometime during that process, my root security tab stopped working with: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: string member test needs char left operand A quick mailing list search indicates that it is probably related to a missing ',' in one of the products, but I am just guessing. How can I track down the source of this error? I tried to run the python debugger, but trying to access Zpublish.Zope('/manage_access') simply denies access. I'm rather new to Zope debugging, so any help would be appreciated.

I did not spend much time in that part of the translation because there is a comment on the listActions method saying that it will be configurable through the portal_actions UI. BTW: Erich Seifert has found some typo and made some other suggestions. A new version of the translation and a small how-to will be available soon.

I did something earlier that lead me to assume that this was not the case, but I went back to verify it and I see that what you say is correct. My day is really looking up. If I had been right about that, I would have been in a world of hurt. >(Hence, why the >superuser can't own objects.) Of course. That makes perfect sense. Thank you for the correction! I'm sorry that I didn't check more today. I'll try to investigate my sleep-time conclusions a bit before I panic next time. --kyler
