You don't need PyXML for the current beta, but you do need to compile Expat, which is included with the Parsed XML distribution. -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

throwing exceptions when <img src=...> does not exist
by Lee 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

hi, i have a little problem re: img and dtml-try tags: there are images stored on an external server - these are named after student's universtity usernames e.g. lreilly.gif. represents moi, lee reilly. the problem is that it is not guaranteed that such an image is stored for *every* student so i want to do something like... <dtml-try> <img src="d:\<dtml-var uname>.gif" width="240" height="180"> <dtml-except> <img src="d:\dilbert.gif" width="240" height="180"> </dtml-try> i.e. if the student gif exists display it otherwise display the file dilbert.gif. if the files were stored on zope then modifying the <img> tags to plain <dtml-var uname> would work fine except that (i) they're not stored on my server (ii) <dtml-var uname> would display the username and not the image (id=username) - i think this can be overcome though. is there anyway to adapt the above code to actually *throw* an exception when the image is not located. the results of the above code are as follows: if the files exist => it is displayed if the file doesn't exist => nothing is displayed anybody have any thoughts / advice? cheers, lee -- Lee Reilly mailto:lee.reilly@ntlworld.com http://www.footkick.co.uk

Two of my most beloved and heavily used books are from New Riders, Paul DuBois' "MySQL" and Dave Beazley's "Python Essential Reference".

I'm normally a Gnome sort of person, so I haven't touched Konq for a LONG time. Last I played with it, it felt pretty raw, but I've heard all sorts of nice things about it lately. Mozilla is also (finally) starting to shape up. I've have really good luck with the 0.7 release. One it's up, it renders nicely and seems to interact with Zope well. It is a pig, though. I have LinuxPPC running on a G4 450, and it does really well there. But my primary development box at work is a PII 350, and Mozilla on that box is frustratingly slow to start. Galeon (http://galeon.sourceforge.net) is nice, and zipper than Mozilla. But it has some occasional strange issues with the Zope management interface. I was using it as my regular browser, but (happily) I've been doing so much Zope development recently that I've switched back to strait mozilla. I do like Mozilla a lot better than NS for Zope development, if only for the fact that it gives me a much better idea of how things are going to render on IE than NS4.5.x does... > Saying that, I have not tried Opera in some time... perhaps they've > addresses some of THEIR issuse... it could be worth a > try...http://www.opera.com Would be interested to hear how well it interacts w/Zope... > Have a better one, > Curtis Maloney. //glw

SV: [Zope] Matching a date that's in a Zcatalog field index

you could always try something like <untested> <dtml-in "NewsCatalog(_.DateTime.isCurrentDay(CreateDate))"> </untested> hope it works.. :-) Geir Bækholt geirh(a)funcom.com >I've set a CreateDate property on a bunch of files--basically, i grab the >ZopeTime at the time of the DTML Document's creation and write it to a >CreateDate property of type date.

Making backups
by Spinwing 19 Feb '01

19 Feb '01

Hello maybe mine is a stupid question, but I haven't figure out how to do it properly. Say I have some folders I want to backup automatically. Normally I would export them and then make a bacup of the export directory, but how can I do it in a way that at a specific time cron will export them ? Thanks for the answer Stefano
