Cut, copy & paste
by Robert 15 Nov '00

15 Nov '00

I am returning to some Zope work after a long absence and I cannot get cut, copy & paste to work in the management screens. I have a brand new install of 2.2.2 on NT4/SP6, using IE5 (with cookies enabled) and if I cut/copy something in the management screens, the paste button appears as expected. If I go to another folder, no paste button. If I go back to the original folder the paste button has disappeared. This happens as the super-user or any other user I have defined. A quick search of the mailing list and Zope site failed to turn up anything. Can anyone shed some light on this, as it's a giant pain to have to export each time I want to move something. TIA Robert PS Please cc me directly on this as I am in digest mode. Thanks.

I use Zope 2.1.6 and ZODBCDA to access an Access database. I had only the usual Zope 2.1.6 Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA problems. Dieter

Problems with Zope 2.2.2 and MS SQL Server
by Pieter Claerhout 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

Hello all, I'm having some troubles connecting Zope 2.2.2 to Microsoft SQL Server. I downloaded and installed the product ZODBCDA, and I was able to connect to the SQL Server. I was able to define the SQL methods, and when I test them, everything is successful. The problem is that when I use for example the dtml-in tag to iterate over the results, and display them in a page, I am always prompted for a password, but I can enter whatever password I want, I can never get through. Does anybody has an idea of what I'm doing wrong and how I can solve it?? Thanks, Pieter

Re: [Zope] How to access column names in DTML Methods

Jose Soares writes: > I'm trying to display the column names of a Record object without success. > I'm able to access column data using sequence-item but I don't know > how to display column names. The "Results" object has a method "names()" returning the column names. A Record object hides the names in a private attribute that cannot be accessed from DTML (but it is possible from Python).

Sorry all, To answer my own question: /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope start Seems I need to read to the bottom of the documentation on the download page before asking questions.
