RE: [Zope] Getting an object from id

I have used the following method successfully: parameter passed: objectId folder where I must retrieve the object with the name id from: fooFolder I use the following code: o = self.fooFolder.restrictedTraverse(objectId) This works in a Python Method (the one where you type the Python code in the browser) and is probably a valid way to do it. If there are still better ways, let me know!

Getting an object from id
by Etienne Labuschagne 04 May '01

04 May '01

Hi there If I have the id of an object, how can I get the actual object in a Python Method? I have tried the following: o = getattr(self, "FooImage") This causes an AttributeError type with value validate. This probably mean that this way of aquiring an object is not available in Python Methods, but only in external Python Methods. I would prefer to use a Python Method and not an external method. B.T.W. I know that o=self.FooImage will work, but I want to use a parameter containing the id to get the object, eg. o = getattr(self, id). Thanks Etienne

[ANN] zshell: The Zope Shell
by Jerome Alet 04 May '01

04 May '01

Hi there, I'm pleased to announce you the Zope Shell version 0.001. The Zope shell is a GPLed Python Script which makes some of the most commonly used unix shell commands available from within Zope, to manage the ZODB contents. You'll find this 155 lines script attached to this message. As for the 0.001 version which is attached to this message, the following commands are recognized: cd, cp, mv, rm, ls there are some restrictions however, and it doesn't seem to work with absolute paths, read the source for details and the future commands. zshell accepts an unlimited number of commands to launch in a single Zope transaction, so feel free to combine these five commands to do some very complicated stuff. Despite its current limitations it works fine here on Zope 2.3.2+Hotfix0501. Please feel free to send me any comment about this software. Such similar functionnality included in Zope's core would make me VERY happy. hoping this helps.

Upgrade path from 2.2.2 and PTK
by Paul Winkler 04 May '01

04 May '01

Hi, OK, I have a site I've been working on for months that's based on Zope 2.2.2 and PTK 0.8.2. That's what was current when I got started. Now I want to update things a bit before I put this on a production server. My site is a heavily-customized version of the DemoPortal from PTK 0.8.2. Well, now you guys are up to Zope 2.3.2 and CMF 1.0. Can anyone recommend the safest, least painful procedure for upgrading my stuff? Once I get Zope upgraded, can I just install CMF alongside PTK and migrate things over piecemeal? (I'll probably have to do it a bit at a time, as I've customized quite a lot of PTK...) -- ................... paul winkler .................... custom calendars & printing: http://www.calendargalaxy.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com home page: http://www.slinkp.com

#include with DocumentTemplate?
by Lance E Sloan 04 May '01

04 May '01

I'm fairly new to Python and when I asked this question on a couple of the python.org mailing lists, I was told I should probably ask here instead. I'm writing some CGIs in Python and I borrowed the DocumentTemplate module from Zope because it does most of what I need. However, there's one thing that it apparently doesn't do that I would really like. And that would be to use "#include" tags to read in other DTML documents and parse them. That is, tags like this:  Does DocumentTemplate already handle that? I couldn't find it in the documentation. If it's not already built-in, is it possible to add such a tag? I've seen the examples on zope.org for adding tags to DocumentTemplate's parser, but I don't know if its possible to get it to read a new file and parse it in the middle of parsing another template. Has anybody already implemented this? Thanks in advance. -- Lance E Sloan Web Services, Univ. of Michigan: Full-service Web and database design, development, and hosting.
