Get file contents.
by Jason C. Leach 30 Oct '00

30 Oct '00

hi, I pass a zope file object (just plane text) to an external method. The file consists of a list of lines of text. I'd like to extract those lines from the file and put 'em in a list. Can anyone help with the extraction method? Thanks, j. ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ... University College of the Cariboo. ..

Have a look at "ZopeFind" (--> ZQR (Zope quick reference) at URL:http://zdp.zope.org) Dieter

ExtensionClass peculiarity (was: [Zope-PTK] Multiple Inheritance and the Portal Base classes.) (was: [Zope-PTK] Multiple Inheritance and the Portal Base classes.)

Steinar Rune Eriksen writes: > In other Python programs, calling Parent.__init__(self) works fine, but when > running through Zope in this context > > Error Type: TypeError > Error Value: unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument Have a look at the "ExtensionClass" documentation (-> zope.org) ExtensionClass is not completely compatible with Python: if a class "C" inherits from an extension class "E" and from a normal Python class "P", then Python does not recognize "C" as a subclass from "P". The mentioned documentation tells you, that there is a method "InheritedAttribute" to work around this problem. Dieter

Maybe, you must set the property "content_type" correctly (when Zope guessed wrong based on the filename extension). Dieter

Zope & Apache/ProxyPass : environment variables
by Aaron Straup Cope 30 Oct '00

30 Oct '00

Hi, Does anyone know if it is even *possible* to pass environment variables (specifically REMOTE_USER) to Zope when it is set up behind Apache/ProxyPass. I've looked around the list archives, and the Apache docs and tried a bunch of different configs but nothing works. I'm starting to wonder if it's all in vain. Thanks,

Re: [Zope] dtml-while

Diego Rodrigo Neufert writes: > Why there isnt a dtml-while function in Zope? > How to implement it with dtml? > how to do a simple while x != y in dtml? Because the Zope developers feared infinite loops created by dumb users or malicious hackers in "through the web" content. For the same reason, "_.range" has been cripled and the module "re" is not exposed. Dieter

My Items will not show themself in manage_main (objectItems)
by Max M 30 Oct '00

30 Oct '00

I have made a product that inherits: "OFS.ObjectManager.ObjectManager" and so should be able to contain other object. I have given the product a manage option: {'label':'Contents', 'action':'manage_main'} This is inherited from ObjectManager, To make it possible to add content to my product. But when I add ie. a dtml method to my folderish object, it does it allright, and the document gets added. I know because I can see it directly when going to it's url. And if I try to add another document with the same name I get an error saying that the id is allready used. But the Item doesn't show up in Itemlist on the "manage_main" page. So I cannot edit the items that I have added. I only get the: "There are currently no items in XXX" Why is this? is there any special methods or something that I need to create for the Items to show up in "objectItems". Max M. W.

Re: [Zope] normal result with acquisition?

This *IS* normal acquisition behaviour. I use the following rule of thumb: When Zope looks up a name "n" for object "o" in context "c", then Zope lools for "n" in "o". If this fails, Zope walks up from "o" towards the root in search for "n". Only, if it does not find "n" on this route, it looks in the context "c" for "n". In your case, the object is "sql" and the name is "show_abc". The context is "Folder1" in the first and "Folder2" in the second case. But "show_abc" is found in both cases in the parent of "sql" -- without looking at the context. Dieter
