What happened to random?
by Bill Anderson 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

OK, got a problem with 2.3.0 and Python Script; one that breaks Membership :( In Python Methods, I can do this choose=random.choice And it works. However, in a Python Script in 2.3.0, it barfs, complaining about random not being a variable. I've tried self.rhandom, context.rhandom, and _.rhandom, and none work. Any help would be very much appreciated. Bill Anderson

You can also do the following: <dtml-var "RandomGretting.Greet(_.None, _)"> Jamey > -----Original Message----- > From: Prateep Siamwalla [SMTP:teep@inet.co.th] > Sent: Friday, January 26, 2001 6:20 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Re: Lost in name Space... > > Ok, found the answer: > > <dtml-with RandomGreeting> > <dtml-var Greet> > </dtml-with> > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Prateep Siamwalla <teep(a)inet.co.th> > To: <zope(a)zope.org> > Sent: Friday, January 26, 2001 5:55 PM > Subject: Lost in name Space... > > > > <<Sorry if you happen to see this for the third time, I have been trying > > to post this on egroups, but have failed on several occasions.>> > > > > Hi, > > Zope newbie here, a bit lost on namespaces... > > > > I have created a folder in the zope root called "RandomGreeting". > > Inside this folder, there is one DTML METHOD called "Greet".

Priya, First, the PTK has its own mailing list, zope-ptk(a)zope.org; you are much likelier to get useful and timely advice there about PTK-specific issues. Second, I don't think the region of code in which you have injected that line needs it; it exists solely to provide backward-compatibility with portals created before version 0.8 of the PTK. Third, I can't see anything about your code which woudl trigger a syntax error; typically, in this case, the real error would be a line or two ahead (opening but not closing a parenthesis, omitting a comma, etc. Fourth, you would typically add a new content class in a separate product, either on the filesystem or in a "through-the-web" ZClass product; mixing your stuff with PTKBase/PTKDemo means you will be forced to deal with lots of merge conflicts (and these days, I mean *LOTS*). I would recommend creating a new CVS sandbox, as described in my "State of the PTK" message today: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2001-January/002258.html Then, move your 'Userdocument' module into a new Product, a "sibling" of PTKBase and PTKDemo. Register it just as 'PTKDemo.Document' is registered, and create a Wizard for it by cloning the Document wizard and "filing off the serial numbers". Hope that helps, Tres. -- =============================================================== Tres Seaver tseaver(a)digicool.com Digital Creations "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.org

DTML namespace puzzle
by Ron Bickers 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Just when I thought I was catching on to everything, I ran into this. I'm using Zope 2.3.0 (final). I don't know if this worked the same with 2.2 because I didn't try this until today. SQLSession is handling the SESSION stuff, and I haven't had any problems with it. I have a Python Script (sendOrder) that calls a DTML method (orderMessage) as follows: container.orderMessage(num=num, SESSION=SESSION) orderMessage contains the following: <dtml-with "SESSION['info']" mapping> Order Number: <dtml-var num> Blah blah other session variables that work fine. </dtml-with> I get a KeyError on num. If I modify orderMessage to contain the following, it works: <dtml-let num=num> <dtml-with "SESSION['info']" mapping> Order Number: <dtml-var num> Blah blah other session variables that work fine. </dtml-with> </dtml-let> This seems strange to me. What am I missing? _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc. rbickers(a)logicetc.com

PythonScripts documentation
by Gerald Gutierrez 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Where is the latest documentation for PythonScripts located? The closest I found is http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod but it is dated and contains minimal information. I'm specifically interested in what I can do with them and what I cannot do with them. Thanks.

You will see there, that "FileUpload" objects have attributes 'filename' and 'headers'. In headers, you will find the "Content-Type", provided that your browser has send this information (as it should). Then, you need to know, that "dtml-boundary" has "*_expr" argument variants that allow to provide expressions as values rather than fixed constants. That's all you should need. Dieter

Re: [Zope] SQL-based LoginManager and subtransactions

Correct? No, but I'm really not familiar enough with the ZODB machinery and zope internals to tell do much more than wild guesses. The problem seems to be that the ZODB and things like Zcatalog know about subtransactions (you can disable them with the latter one), but some (the most) zope db-adapters don't. Now zope seems to use subtransactions internally and to expect the DAs to provide them also (commit_sub), but for now it seems to not completly clear when and why - see the thread "subtransactions". For file-uploads the threshold may be <~ 120kb, that is which bites people with loginmanager/postgres. The workaround from I cited should at least solve the zope-error, but I have no idea if it can hurt. The best thing would be to properly implement the missing methods in the DAs, I guess, unfortunately this is above my head for now. PS: the sybase DA seems to know about commit_sub cheers, oliver

Re: [Zope] "Hiding" a Zope object from URL accesses

26 Jan '01

Rik Hoekstra writes: > AFAIK there is no way of hiding an object in Zope In Zope 2.3, there is a way, at least for all forms of scripts: The REQUEST object has a new key "PUBLISHED". It contains the published object. A script can check whether it itself was the published object and raise an exception in this case. Dieter

It is strange that you apparently see it looking at the end as Splitter("abcd/bcde/cdef") = ["abcd/bcde/cdef"] i.e. it should only look at the complete URL. Probably, you should not use a textindex for your purpose, as it does not split at '/'. You should go for a keyword index. It expects a sequence of keywords rather than a string. Thus, you should replace "absolute_url" by "getPhysicalPath". This will probably work nice, unless you use virtual hosts. Dieter
