Thanks for the tips. Here's how I mapped a local folder in order to use the preview feature. I'm not talking about right click preview. Look under edit/preference/preview Server mappings Server Address c:\work http://www.myhost.com:8080 "c:\work" holds my dtml files like index_html and such. This little proggie for windows rocks! -jimbo

Newbie question, help with navigation method
by Richard Blumberg 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

I've a Zope newbie, trying to set up a Zope site at zope.org, and I'm running into problems with what seems like it should be a fairly simple navigation method. I've replaced the standard_html_header and footer methods with my own, which create a simple two column table; I'm trying to get the navigation information into the left column. I've established a nav_title property on the two pages that I want to show up in the navigation list, with the values "Home" and "Biography", and I've written a nav_vertical method to display the list: <dtml-in objectValues> <dtml-if nav_title> <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var nav_title></a><br> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> I've embedded a call to that method in the standard_html_header method: <html> <head> <title><dtml-var title_or_id></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="http://www.zope.org/Members/rblumberg/images/rbRight" width="50" height="60"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <h2><dtml-var title></h2> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><hr> <dtml-var nav_vertical> <hr></td> <td> (The table cells are closed in the standard_html_footer.) Now, the nav_vertical method works exactly as planned when I call it directly: http://www.zope.org/Members/rblumberg/nav_vertical The header method also displays correctly (even without the closing tags, at least in MSIE 5) when it is called directly: http://www.zope.org/Members/rblumberg/standard_html_header But the pages which call the new header don't display the navigation list: http://www.zope.org/Members/rblumberg/index_html Is this a bug in Zope, or am I doing something wrong?

I hit this problem on zope.org last week and searched the collector before going to report a bug. I found an entry that said something like "Catalog sort_on fails with Keyword index". Don't have the link, but I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere. Itai -- Itai Tavor "Je sautille, donc je suis."

[ot] python book
by Lee Reilly CS1997 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi, I'm going through the tutorials available on Python.org but can anyone recommend a good book? I've always been impressed by O'Reilly's books and I see that there are a number of them available: - Python Programming on Win32 - Learning Python - Programming Python Which one of the above (or indeed, any others) would be best for me? Me? I've got some C experience and will be using Python with Zope to create a portal, & some simple apps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. - Best regards, Lee

Zope Beginner
by Mark A. Pappas 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi All, I'm new to Zope. Just installed it a few minutes ago. Everything installed fine. Logged in http://localhost:8080/manage worked great. I'm trying to figure out the web server portion of zope. I was reading the docs the chart that talks about ZServer Command Line Switches. It tells me the default port is 8080. To change that do a -w 80 after the -D. In the start.bat. I tried all kinds of things and never was able to get zope up on port 80 as a web server (www.whatever.com_ or XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX). What am I missing? Thanks Mark A.

Re: [Zope] REQUEST.set('n', n+1) broken on zope.org

The > following DTML will raise an AttributeError on __add__: > > <dtml-call REQUEST.set('n', 1)> > <dtml-call REQUEST.set('n', n+1)> There may be a simple explanation (someone else already pointed out, that you need to use "..."; I expect, you did as otherwise, you would get a "KeyError"): There may be an object named "n" somewhere in the acquisition context. An object that does not define an "__add__" method. As you probably know (or can reread in the documentation), "REQUEST" has quite a low priority for lookups (in fact, it is at the bottom of the acquisition context). It is therefore easy to have a REQUEST definition overridden. Use "REQUEST['n']+1" instead of "n+1". Dieter
