What should I do? Perhaps <dtml-var "folder.filename()"> will do? It executes the method "filname()" and returns the result. Regards Max M

Zope loses by not >having a decent external storage mechanism for its programming. Whoa there ... I didn't say anything you could disagree with. I just stated facts. But I do agree that writing software in Zope is a problem for me too. I would also like a flat text storage system, but I also see why it is difficult considdering the design choices made in Zope. I believe that my problems stems from the fact that code, content and presentation is to strongly interwoven. zClasses are nice and simple but difficult to edit, as it has to be done in the browser. Or at least pasted into it. You also get yourself painted into a corner pretty quickly. Subclassing a Pyhton class as a base for a zClass is kind of nice. But currently I am having problems using that method as it seems that "helper classes" cannot be adressed from dtml methods in the zClass. (Se my acessing parameters in a "helper class" posting). Products are difficult to make, and all the tutorials are rather bad. Business logic and presentation is mixed together. (Business logic should not use any code or libraries from Zope at all.) A nice way to work would be to make a Python class that is completely independent of Zope. Test and debug it. Then make a thin Zope wrapper that adds just enough functionality to make it work in Zope, and so that it can be accessed nicely via dtml. I am trying this approach currently, but it gets ugly real fast. It will probably be nicer when I understand it fully. I Will post a How-to then. Regards Max M

RE: [Zope] XMLRPC accessing Zope DTML/SQL methods

Ok, so this works: def extmethod(self, REQUEST): return str(REQUEST) >From the web that prints the string Representation of REQUEST. But, over XMLRPC, this: s=xmlrpblib.Server("http://server.name/Zope/path/") s.path.extmethod() Returns the string representation of REQUEST, but *this* s.path.extmethod('rrr') return 'rrr'. What's happening?

newbie: comparing dates?
by Georg Rellensmann 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

Hi all, another newbie-question: - I created a zclass with three date properties. - Now I´d like to display the most recent of these dates in directory-listings etc. QUESTION 1: How do I compare dates in dtml code? QUESTION 2: How do I exclude empty values from processing? (I installed rapto´s null date-patch, seemed to work fine; for that patch see: http://www.zope.org/Members/rapto/nullDate?pp=1) regards, -georg.rellensmann-

How to access control panel debug information as normal user??
by Gilles Lavaux 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

Hello, I want to give to my normal users (non manager) the possibility to access some debug informations like: - the number of currently open connections + the date of the openning. (This mainly to track the hanged request...) I am not able to retrive this information, except as manager. Whatever security or role I set on my 'status' method: <dtml-var standard_html_header>  Status:<br>     <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Thanks for any help Gilles Lavaux

Okay, I got the <dtml-var filename> to work right assuming that that files are arranged properly according to aquistion, but then when I try to get the file from another folder like <dtml-var "folder.filename"> It displays the code of that page rather thatn recognizing that it is content. What should I do? Thanks; Chris

From: Alex Khan [mailto:Alex.Khan@gov.ab.ca] >I can probably learn more from reading other people's code than by reading >the fragmented documentation. >I can do this easily with products but not zexp's. Thanks in advance... zClasses are not written in Python so there is no code to see. Except fot the dtml code and you can see that when you have imported a zClass product. Regards Max M

re: uploading to Zope with Mac Browser

But from a Mac (netscape And IE) it does not work. > Netscape doesn't work? That's odd. IE had some problems before 5.0, some of which could be fixed in the Internet control panel (in recent Mac OS versions) or in Internet Config (I'm not sure how deeply Netscape uses these). Since the Mac OS has the benefit\curse of the forked file system, almost any file on the system has extra data about it stuffed in the Resource Fork (ie - information about which app to designate as 'creator', allowing you to have JPEGs that open in different applications for example). Most of the universe operates on a single forked system, which contains just the data. So there are sometimes problems sharing Mac files with the rest of the world. Usually it works fine as only the Data fork is used, but some programs tend to botch the handling of this. IE was one of them. The settings to try to fix this are usually found in the preferences that handle File Mappings (or File Helpers) (which lets the OS know how to deal with incoming data). It's a preference panel in both browsers, and can be found on the Advanced tab of the Internet control panel. Find the mapping for .gif and other extensions or mime types you're interested in and look at the settings for handling it. There should be an option for how to treat the data, with at least the two options of "Text" and "Binary". There should also be an option to specify whether it's Macintosh data. **Turn this option off**. Make sure that the "Map Outgoing" option is checked if it's available. If the browser is working properly, it should only send the data fork at that point. This is broken in MacIE 4.x for images and text, but works for other file types (like mp3). I've had no problems with IE 5 that weren't fixable by checking on my settings. For file uploads, Netscape has never been a problem for me since the file upload option showed up (1.x?). But again, I practically never use Navigator anymore. This was the critical issue keeping me away from MacIE, and MS finally fixed it in 5.
