Re: [Zope] Getting a date into an object title - DISREGARD

Therapy or not, I spoke too soon. I did manage to get a time in as part of the title. Unfortunately, the time that I got was ZopeTime(). What I want to get in is the time (really a date) set by the user. This date is taken in as input from the form page, it is then sent to a DTML Method that then calls the Python script. As I mentioned before, the parameter in question is "contact_date". If I try to set myTitle = '%d' % contact_date then I get an error. However, if I try to set myTitle = '%d' % report_title then I don't get an error. The report_title parameter was set in the DTML Method that was called by the HTML form. that code is <dtml-let report_title="ZopeTime()"> Unfortunately, if I set <dtml-let report_title=contact_date> I get an error. Note, the </dtml-let> is AFTER the call to the python script. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: [Zope] Add properties to ZClass instance?

I think, you need to use the PropertySheet interface (Zope Help->API Reference->PropertySheet) to add properties to a property sheet. Dieter

Otherwise, your statement is strange. What object type contains the "dtml-in" (a DTML Method or Document)? What happens precisely: you do not get any content? If you use the code above, then the "in" body is empty, thus, you won't see something. But I assume, this is just a typo and not your real problem. Try to add a "&dtml-parameter;" before the "in". It will show you the object type, "parameter" is bound to. Maybe, you get an unexpected "parameter". Dieter

RE: [Zope] LocalFS product

ASHISHRANJAN_V writes: > I tried mapping the share and then use the LocalFS . > The server is running on windows. > I get the error : > Error Type: OSError > Error Value: [Errno 5] Input/output error This problem has nothing to do with Zope. The code tries to read or write and gets an "input/output error" from the underlaying C library. This may happen, if a communication channel got closed, the file system is full or similar problems.

Re: [Zope] Can't open file via Python

I cannot believe that it happens in an External Method, too. They are completely unrestricted... Or, to say it differently: I use "open" in External Methods over and over again without any problem.

Zope Products and SQL
by Farrell, Troy 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

I haven't seen this mentioned and I didn't find it in the archive, so I feel inclined to ask: Is there any way (aside from importing database modules ie PoPy) to execute SQL from a Zope Product? Is it feasible to make the product inherit from ZSQL methods and have them that way, or it is just easiest to use ZClasses? I use SQL in almost everything, but I also like Products and want to know the best way to mix them. Thanks. Troy

searching a Z-Catalog for a range of values
by Tom Palermo 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Does anyone know how I can search a Z-Catalog for a using a time range. I tried to do the following but it doesn't seem to work: <dtml-in "catalog(bobobase_modification_time=_.ZopeTime( )-1, bobobase_modification_time_usage='range:max') I got this code snippet from the Advanced Z-Catalog Searching How To. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. email me at tom(a)bcswebservices.net

Getting a date into an object title
by complaw＠hal-pc.org 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

I want to put a date value into a DTML Document title so that when the DTML Documents are sorted by their title, they will automatically be sorted by date. (Incidentally, the title also has some other non-date information.) I've tried various schemes and they don't work. I'm using the Zope book template for creating the DTML Documents (which are loaded by the users who don't have manage access). This means that I have a form to gether information (including the contact date, which is transmitted from the form as "contact_date"). The form calls an DTML method that calls a Python script which creates the DTML Document. Any hints, either in DTML or for the Python script, would be most appreciated. Thanks, Ron

escaping single quotes in StructuredText?
by Bill Seitz 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

If I want to show single quotes around some text in a page coming from StructuredText, how do I escape them so that they don't get turned into 'example code'? I could do something ugly like put other punctuation around the single quotes, but that's pretty ugly. Tried using backslashes, but that didn't work: it just showed the backslashes and single quotes explicitly, which is \'pretty ugly\'. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
