I remember beating my head against the wall on this one as well, but I don't remember the solution off the top of my head. Do you have MySQL and Python both installed via RPM? //glw

indirect method call
by Ulrich Wisser 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

Hello, would like to call a method which name I got stored in a variable, e.g: <dtml-let method='standard_html_header'> <dtml-var "method()"> </dtml-let> Which should evaluate to standard_html_header to be called. (Actually I got a table with a lot of method names in it and want to select one of them.)

Newbie question:Java and Zope
by Spinwing 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

Hello all I am approaching Zope and I am very convinced about its features. The only question that hits me is how to extend it outside Python and Perl. Not that I do not like the two languages, but I have already a good investment in Java classes and knowledge, and I was asking myself if it was possible to join the two. Therefore I ask if somebody can give me some idea if possible, how and so on... maybe it is already written somewhere and I'll get the usual RTFM :)))) but nevertheless I'd like to have an opinion. Thanks Stefano

FTP & Logging
by Kit O'Connell 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

I'm trying to convince my company to use Zope on a much larger scale than we have been -- we're using it for an internal dept. website, but I think we should use it for the external dept. website as well. One thing I am not sure of -- we would like the site to include an FTP capability. A customer would be assigned a username/password and would be able to FTP to this site to download patches to our software product. I think this can be set up with Filefolder, but I'm wondering if Zope does any logging on FTP accesses? If someone hit the FTP site, punched in a certain password, and downloaded certain files, would we be able to tell afterwards?

What should happen, when the user does not provide the float? * should the field be omitted? Then try the ":ignore_empty" suffix. * do you want a default value in this case? Then try the ":default" suffix in an additional (hidden) form control to provide this default! Dieter

The current version of the CMF is designed to allow through-the-web customization of the default "skin" (which is delivered from the filesystem). We are scheduled to release version 1.0 of the CMF this month; one of the TODO's before then is to move the last "hard-coded" UI into the skins, so that it can be customized / internationalized. > - the site will need a good search engine.

It is possible to store content outside the ZODB (typically storing or replicating the metadata in the catalog).

Enhydra is built around Java servlet technology; if your staff is already comfortable with servlets, then Enhydra might be a workable choice.

Re: [Zope] set listen ip addr

Hi On my server I have the same setup. To start Zope on a specific IP address I edit the start script in the zope directory and change the z2.py line so that it reads something like z2.py -a 192.168.0.15 -w 80 -f 8021 "$@" This takes only the 0.15 address and runs the web server on port 80 and the ftp server on port 8021 Ian
