"dtml-var" would render it. This means call it, if it is callable and convert to a string. The "callTypes" above may need to be replaced by "self.callTypes" or "context.callTypes", if "callTypes" is not yet in the functions namespace. Dieter

Analysing Zope startup problems (was: [Zope] zope 2.24b1 upgrade on win98 crashing. errno 9?) upgrade on win98 crashing. errno 9?)

Start Zope. Of cause, it will crash again. Look into "zope.log". Maybe you have a change to see what went wrong. By the way, I saw a similar problem report in the list. I cannot remember the details. Search the searchable list archive for "Bad file descriptor". Dieter

It might be necessary to normalize the time tuple before 3. with an "time.localtime(time.mktime(tup))". Dieter

Free Zope Web space?
by Diarmaid Lynch 22 Nov '00

22 Nov '00

Hi, I'm creating an online newspaper for my school but unfortunately don't have Zope / Web server. Is there anywhere on the web that would serve this for free. Has "Zope-Geocities" been created yet?? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a round-up of "the Best Web Application Servers" in this month's Linux Magazine (Nov - 8 ball on cover). It includes Zope and WebSphere. Its not really a comparison though, but it might give you some ideas. You could also get some ideas from Kemalus' "Guide for Corporate Decision Makers" (http://www.zope.org/Members/Kemalus/make_zope_dec ision). I'm no marketer, but if you could find a similar document on WebSphere you might be able to do a 'real' comparison. HTH, Rob

You may try to compile DCOracle without the "-DCOracle8" (or similar) option. Our problems disappeared after we did this (even though, we connected to Oracle 8.1.6). Dieter

Hi, I have got a html form which accepts an input from the user. This input has to be passed to a Python script, as a parameter, which is added as an external method in zope. Is there any way to do this ? Regards, Kini. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. http://shopping.yahoo.com/
