Silly question about the help system
by Jérôme Loisel 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Hi! I recently downloaded and installed the latest CMF release to take it for a spin. It seemed fun enough, but I did not truly "get" it, so I uninstalled it eventually. The annoying thing is, the documentation still appears in the help menus. What puzzles me is that I really did delete the full CMF folder, so there should be nothing left. That leads me to wonder whether Zope could have copied the help files to Data.fs, where it does have write access... Which is something I never really wanted it to do. That being said, this is no major problem to me and I fully recognize that this is no major issue. But I would still really appreciate it if Zope just deleted cached copies of deleted documentation. It's not like I want my help menu to permanently grow every time I try out a new, documented product. Or am I missing something?

How to pass values from python script back to calling dtml-method ???
by Anton A. Zotov 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Greeting, people ! I may seem completely ignorant, but Zope namespaces are driving me wild for the last couple of days :-( I need to solve a pretty simple task: I have a dtml-method which calls a Python script. When that python script is through, it has a variable (say, returnValue="return value"). How can I access this variable in calling dtml method ? Please help !!!!!

As soon as the "open" is executed, you should > have a file under "G:\zope\test.txt". That's what I thought. Thanks to Peter B, I eventually traced the file down to a different disk...in the Windows/sytem32 directory. I've no idea why the file should get written there. Anyway, this *may* be why the problem arose... I edit my python files in the Extensions folder using the LocalFS product. I think when I update files I suspect something is not happening that should. Are the Extensions only loaded at startup, because I only got this working after a restart? Thanks all tom

Re: ZCatalog page...

Please continue to cc the Zope list... other folks may be able to jump in. Consider using CatalogAware objects. Search Zope.org for CatalogAware. Alternately, manipulate the catalogObject and uncatalogObject methods of the catalog manually as objects are added and deleted. ----- Original Message ----- From: <afterz(a)zipmail.com> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism(a)digicool.com> Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 1:12 PM Subject: Re: ZCatalog page... > > Since the begging of the project I`m having a problem with the reindex > of ZCatalog.

<input type=hidden value='<dtml-var x>' name=x> and LOOP
by servel yannick 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

I would like to use 12 files and I would like to use a loop to create an output similar to: <input type=hidden value='D:\TEMP\DEFAULT.PR~' name='filename1'> <input type=hidden value='' name='filename2'> <input type=hidden value='D:\pagefile.sys' name='filename3'> ... <input type=hidden value='C:\pagefile.sys' name='filename12'> To reach this result, I would like to use something similar to the following code: def SaveMenu(self, REQUEST=None): s="" i = 1 while i <= 12: s = s + "<input type=hidden value='%s' name='filename%s'>" % ((REQUEST.filename + i), i) i = i + 1 return s Indeed the statement REQUEST.filename + i is illegal. Is there any alternative to provide a similar result? Thanks in advance Yannick

You cannot test if a special document exists but you can test, if a name is defined in a namespace (this may be a document, property or just a name bound to a volatile object): <dtml-if "_.has_key(name_of_your_object)"> .... </dtml-if> Dieter
