There is the "branches_expr" attribute to "dtml-tree". You can use it like this: <dtml-tree ... branches_expr="yourDTMLmethod(_vars.None,_vars)"> .... </dtml-tree> > Or do I necessarily have to use Python?

Re: [Zope] *not newbie* How do you interact with your RDMS?

One colleague of mine uses DTML, because of the TTW editing capabilities. Another used External Methods (in the time, as PythonScript has not yet been around), because they allow to express complex generation rules more clearly. Dieter

Hi Zope and Python Fans, So far there have been two topics proposed for Zope "Birds of a Feather" gatherings: Content Management Framework (CMF, aka PTK) ZEO and Mission Critical Zope Can anyone hazard a guess as to when these might take place, for those of us who just can't manage a four day trip this time? Thanks, Jerry S.

Wrapping zope header/footer around LocalFS html objects
by Pieter Biemond 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello, Today I installed the LocalFS-product and would really like to use it to wrap/zopify (local) html-files on a Zope-site. That is: see a HTML-file with the Zope standard_html_header and standard_html_footer attached. I read the LocalFS-FAQ at http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/HowTo/DTML_with_LocalFS and tried the following dtml-document: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var "localfsdir['somefile.html'].data"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Unfortuately it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? Furthermore, I really would like to be able to render a lot of HTML-files this way (and extract the TITLE and BODY tags if possible). Did anybody do this before? I found a bit of Python code that should be able to extract the body-tag, but I am clueless how to get it to work using LocalFS. page = <<somehowreferencethelocalfsobject>>.data regex = re.compile(r'<body.*?>(.*?)</body>', re.I | re.M | re.S) result = regex.search(page) if result: return result.group(1) else return "no body tag found" Any help would be appreciated, Pieter Biemond PS I also tried using DocBrowser, but can't get it do to what I want either.

Virtual Host Monster question
by spinwing＠inwind.it 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hello I was playing around with SiteAccess and VirtualHostMonster to get aquainted to it. My simulation is: I have a Zope folder called http://host:8080/virtual. My goal is to have Apache on top of Zope running at http://host and hiding the zope by translating all requests from http://host/virtual into http://host:8080/virtual, thus shielding the 8080 port. I found a lot of documents about that, so I managed a way out doing the following: Apache httpd.conf ProxyPass /virtual/ http://host:8080/virtual/VirtualHostBase/http/host/VirtualHostRoot/ ProxyPassReverse /virtual/ http://host:8080/virtual/VirtualHostBase/http/host/VirtualHostRoot/ ProxyPass /misc_ http://host/misc_ ProxyPass /p_ http://host/p_ Now my virtual directory works. Now comes the problem. I have a method called index_html. If I call http://host/virtual the methed gets displayed but no pictures and all the links are pointing to the Zope 8080 port. However, if I call the method directly http://host/virtual/index_html, everything is perfect..... Then I said, ok I try SiteRoot, but whenever I add it to the folder, setting the base path to http://host/virtual/, then I cannot manage it anymore from the management console.....however, if I browse it at http://host/virtual/manage I can see only the subfolders, not the root folder..... Can somebody help me with this? Thank you Regards Stefano

TextImage , PIL installation troubles
by walter＠pleyer.com 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hi folks! I've been trying to install TextImage for a while now, but apparently my PIL setup is wrong. I can see TextImage in my Products-list, but it only displays the following error-message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 397, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/TextImage/__init__.py", line 5, in ? import TextImage File "/var/zope/lib/python/Products/TextImage/TextImage.py", line 12, in ? import PIL.Image ImportError: No module named PIL.Image Can anyone help me with some advice on setting up PIL properly? Thanx Walter
