RE: [Zope] .tag method of image and class declarations ?

I expected reserved names to be the problem. i use the (style='float etc.. syntax right now , but with large sites , this can quickly get out of hand.. a patch with css_class as a parameter would be very welcome.. thanks :-) -- geir bækholt >> the .tag-method of images does not seem to accept 'class' as a >> parameter.. >> >Hmmm. This is actually a Python issue. Class is a reserved word and >therefore cannot be used as a parameter name. > >Other arbitrary arguments will work such as: > ><dtml-var expr="Image.tag(style='float:right')"> > >I will submit a patch to get around this to the collector. My thought is >to add an option argument css_class that will get around the naming >issue. I'm surprised this hasn't come up before!

Re: [Zope] PHP as a scripting language for Zope

There are many more important things that need to be done first, as have been discussed recently (documentation, product completion, XSLT finished, etc), than adding yet another interface to an "incomplete" system. I like Zope, it makes the critical tasks I need in a WebApp Server trivial, but really! However, it's all open source, I'm sure someone has free time or the money to remove free time from someone... :-). best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.

dtml-in patch
by Oleg Broytmann 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Hello! Can anyone (especially from DC) explain the lates patch to DT_In.py? < if index==first and index > 0: --- > if index==first or index==last: It seems there is an effort to allow next/prev batches to be used either in the beginnig or in the end of the loop (before, next batch can only be referenced in the end of the loop). If so, it still doesn't work. I have a test case. Or may be I just misunderstand the code? (or even worse - there is a bug in my test case :) Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd(a)phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

interactive linking
by paulousek 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Hello to all! thanks for the tips for chown/chmod! My Zope runs nicely now. I apologize for posting a maybe stupid newbie question, but: what I intend to realize is a CM-system where editors can interactively interlink documents (in the sense of creating HREFs). They must be able to indicate the link's target, which might be either internal (another Zope object/document), or external (a complete URL selected from a list) or even void. The interface should not be typing the target's data/address in, but selecting it from a form-element like a scrollable list. Can this be done easily with Zope or will I have to prepare myself for long Python-programming sessions? (BTW: the same procedure for selecting content should be available for images and downloadable files.) hope I haven't bothered the community... thanks in advance! -- PERCEPT : Paul Paulousek mailto:ppaul@percept.de http://www.percept.de

SQL methods
by Norman Khine 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Can any one help me understand the concept behind this example: In the How-To from http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/SelectionLists sub section Filling lists from SQL methods, we have a method <SELECT name="myList"> <dtml-in mySQLQuery> <OPTION VALUE='<dtml-var Field1 null="">'> <dtml-var Field2 null=""> </dtml-in> </SELECT> How can I create a second list so that when I select Field1, the list is updated from another SQL query using the value of Field1 as the variable. So for example, I have two tables: ProductGroups and Products ProductGroups has ProductGrpID, Description Product has ProductID, Description and FK_ProductGrpID Therefore if the user select ProductGrp =1 then the second drop-down menu will only select Products where FK_ProductGrp = 1. Thanks Norman

SQL results
by Alejandro Pancani 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Is there any way to use the results of a query in other SQL sentence (like INSERT) without to have to redefine the variables in the REQUEST. I tried this but didn´t work <dtml-in select_sql_sentence> <dtml-call insert_sql_sentence> </dtml-in> The only way that I found was that: <dtml-in select_sql_sentence> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('result_of_select', result_of_select)"> <dtml-call insert_sql_sentence> </dtml-in> Of course the SELECT sentence returns only 1 match Alejandro Pancani apancani(a)topgroup.com.ar

Can't pass 'class' as keyword to .tag()?
by Joel Burton 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

To pass extra parameters to an image, so you can create a customized IMG tag, the syntax is <dtml-var "my_pic.tag(alt='My alt', scale=1.5)"> which works fine. However, the parameter I want to pass is the CSS attribute for class. I want to create an IMG tag that looks like this: <img src="foo" height=xx weight=xx class="logo"> I could just type this in directly to the DTML source, but I'd like to have the ALT, HEIGHT, and WIDTH tags calculated by Zope from the image title, and the graphic height and width. However, I can't use the 'class' keyword in Zope, presumably because apparently there's some *other* use of the word class in Python ;-). Is there a way around this?
