Adding many users
by Ragnar Beer 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Howdy Zopistas and happy new year! I need to add about 150 users to an acl_users folder and I wouldn't like to do it manually since the data already exists in a python list. What would be an elegant way to add them all with a python script? Ragnar

I think (this implies, I am not sure), that ZPublisher translates exceptions into HTTP response codes. This would mean, you could try: In your "privacy" method: .... <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(...)"> <dtml-raise type="Redirect"></dtml-raise> .... in your other objects: <dtml-call privacy> ...header... .... ...footer...

Re: [Zope] get property of type 'list'

If it were, it would be really strange, unbelievable. ['1', '2', '3', '4'] would be normal, when you use a list (it definitely is one!) in e.g.: <dtml-var "_.getitem('toks')"> as a list (of cause) can not be part of a generated HTML page. It must be converted into a string. And the above it the string representation of a list. To get the representation, you seem to favour (though I do not understand why), you could use: <dtml-var "_.str(_.getitem('toks'))[1:-1]"> This make the string conversion explicitly ("_.str") and then keeps the slice "[1:-1]" which means everything beside the first and last character, i.e. you chop the '[]'.

Re: [Zope] REPOST: dtml-with doesn't work
by Dieter Maurer 10 Jan '01

Usually, I complain that problem reports are too terse. But, your's was very big, such that I did not read it carefully. It is very difficult to get it right for everyone. Just a remark: SQL methods do *NOT* look at the DTML namespace *AT ALL*, just at REQUEST (or the expliciitly passed keyword arguments). Thus, "dtml-with", "dtml-let" and friends are all ineffective with respect to ZSQL methods. May be, that explains your problem. May be not, as I am not sure, that you need the values indeed inside a ZSQL method. I can assure you: "dtml-with" does work. Dieter

The data displayed can be anywhere, for example in a database. If you have a small database with your holidays or other relevant events, then such a calendar should be easy to realize. Dieter

And what error do you get? I tried: from DateTime import DateTime def f(): return DateTime('2001/01/09') and there was no problem. Dieter

Storing and Using Object references
by Tom Jenkins 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Hello all, i have a question and I hope someone can point me in the right direction to solve it. I need one zope object to hold a reference to another zope object so the first object can call methods of the second object. oh, these are python classes. Example: object 1 is : /container1/container1a/item1 object 2 is : /container2/container2a/item1 object1 needs to hold a reference to object2. I'm really stuck on how to store and access object2 from object1. any pointers? Tom Jenkins devis - Development InfoStructure http://www.devis.com
