Zope 2.3 plan updated...
by Brian Lloyd 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi all - We're gearing up for getting a new feature release out so for those interested I've updated the Zope 2.3 plan at: http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_230_plan.html The main changes from the prior version are that it is much more detailed, some items have been added and the item for updating ZDOM to DOM level 2 has been dropped (until there is a clearer justification for it). I hope to make an alpha 1 release on Monday the 11th with the new Python Scripts and fixed user bootstrapping, among other things (see the plan for details).

Re: [Zope] FTP in HTML-Kit? (Or other editor on MS-Windows)

Absolutely not a competitor for GNU Emacs. > Or did I miss something? Maybe the newest built of html-kit (from 29. Nov). The changes file suggests that ftp-support is now very good. (save/load/update ... everything you can do with a local file seems now to work with remote-files too). Look at http://www.chami.com/html-kit/news/ A very interesting feature for zope seems to be the following: " Ability to map local folders to remote servers, for the purpose of previewing files with server-side scripting through the server ("Edit | Preferences... | Preview | Edit Preview Rules..."). The user interface for this option has not been finalized." HTML-Kit is free and very customizable, I really like it. The developer is very responsive and there's a load of plugins available - chances are that any modifications to make it play better with zope can be incorporated. And it's free (as in beer). cheers, oliver

Link counter
by Brendon Grunewald 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

I have recently been asked by a partner site to provide them with a count of how many times someone links from my site to theirs. Since there are many ways they could hyperlink to that site (Squishdot articles, normal links, banner ads etc), is there a way in zope to keep track or to extract that info? OR am I stuck with the server logs? Regards, Brendon ------------------ 70South: the No.1 source for Antarcticles. For the latest news and views on Antarctica visit : http://www.70south.com

Does 2.2.4 solve Proxy+ZCatalog bugs?
by Marcin Kasperski 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

The question as in the title. In changes for 2.2.3 I found: - Resolved known condition in the Catalog where objects are not guaranteed to be unindexed before indexing happens again. Now objects are guaranteed to be unindexed correctly first. This should resolve all outstanding KeyErrors with Catalog, although currently broken Catalogs will require a reindex to resolve them. Has anyone verified whether this in fact corrects the infamous ZCatalog key errors when one tried to reindex site proxied with Apache?

string splitting in dtml

Mike asked: > I have a date string (ie dd/mm/yy) which I'm drawing out of a database > (ODBC connection to Access) with a Z SQL method and I need to use that > data to set the initial condition of a set of 3 select items (ie day, > month and year). Is there a way to split this date (it'll come out > looking like dd/mm/yy) to get the components of it You could use the Python "string slice" syntax, like so: <dtml-let day_of_month="_['start_date'][:2]" month_of_year="_['start_date'][3:5]" year_of_century="_['start_date'][6:8]"> The <dtml-var day_of_month> day,<br> of the <dtml-var month_of_year> month,<br> of the year 20<dtml-var month_of_century><br> </dtml-let> Later, Jerry S.

The only way I see to do this with plain html is to just make 2 forms, the second is served depending on the users input on the first and has hidden input fields. But if you decide to go with javascript, you might as well do the whole logic in one page. See for instance http://www.acenetglobal.com/JSMulti.asp or just enter some of the right words into google, there are a lot of sites about that stuff. cheers, oliver

HTML - ZOPE?
by Tom Deprez 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a strictly zope question, but I hope some people can give me an idea on how to solve this problem. I'm creating a form which has amonng it's input tags 2 comboboxes. Now, the content of one combobox, depends on the selection of the first combobox. How can I handle this in Zope, Html? Is this even possible in html? I assume, yes if you refresh the page each time the user makes a selection in the first combobox, but how? Thanks, Tom.
