display owner [repost]
by Patrick Koetter 26 Oct '00

Hi all, I posted this the last days, but didn't get quite what I needed. I'm looking for a way to get the Owners Name of an object (e.g. DTML-Method or -Document etc.) in order to display this to the surfers when they drop by. I've searched through zope.org code, took a look at the Owned.py etc. I just can't figure it out. Somebody help me? Thanks, p@

Hi, we have had a similar problem with ODBC adapter under Zope 2.2.0 and we couldn't fix it. But under 2.2.2 we didn't have that problem again.

Z SQL Objects (Newbie)
by Yvonne Totty 26 Oct '00

26 Oct '00

I have the O'Reilly book, but can't seem to find more complete information on how to do 'if's' in a SQL thing. Here's the scenario: I have three different 'teams' and want to run a call specific to each team. I am passing in three parameters, two of which go in the sql statement, the other goes in the if statement: <:if "team='S"'> sql statement <:elif "team='C'"> blah, blah </:if> It tells me it doesn't like the syntax of the 'if' (I have stuff in the python file that lets me use ':' in place of 'dtml-'). I have tried all the flavors: "team=='S'", "team=S", "team==S", etc. and it doesn't like any of them. If you guys know of another reference, please let me know!

Jim, Nah, I thought of that, too and it didn't work 8(. I have been using <:sqlvar ...> inside my statements and those seem to be doing just fine.

Does anybody know of a bug tracking product for Zope which is free to try out? I found <URL: http://www.zope.org/Members/klm/Tracker/>, which seemed to be nice, but I didn't see where to get it. -- Jørn Helge B. Dahl http://falch.net

How to render a HTMLFile in a method in a product
by Max Møller Rasmussen 26 Oct '00

26 Oct '00

I would have thought that the two examples below where equivalent but only the top one works like expected. (It renders the page.) The second one just shows the source of the vanilla dtml page. -- test = HTMLFile('vanilla', globals()) -- def test(self): "A simpe test method" return HTMLFile('vanilla', globals()) -- How do I execute the dtml file in a method. I have searched the documentation, but it is sketchy to say the least. I cannot use the first approach as I need to define the filename on the fly in my method. def test(self): "A simpe test method" return HTMLFile('skins/' + self.skin, globals()) self.skin is only available in my object, so naturally if I try to say: test = HTMLFile('skins/' + self.skin, globals()) I get an error.

Cleaner stylr
by Matt 26 Oct '00

26 Oct '00

Hi I have the following in a method <dtml-with text_repository> <dtml-with "_['text_container_' + new_id]"> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['MyTextClasses']"> <dtml-call "my_text_add(_.None, _, NoRedir=1)"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> The idea here is that a few levels back I have a folder called text_repository. The method that the obove comes from is called by a form that sets the variable new_id. I have already created another folder in text_repository called text_container_new_id .... where new_id is variable, and there are many of them. The method above starts throwing namespaces on the stack and then creates an instance of a text ZClass that I have made. It all works nicely, but seems an rather nasty way to do it. What are preferred ways of doing this ? and is this really something that people feel is better in an external method as opposed to a dtml method. The reason why I am backtracking all over the place is because I tend to put my methods and forms into a sub folder, which may not be the best idea. I.e. the hierachy is somwhat as follows : text_main /text_methods/text_add_form_method text_main /text_methods/text_accept_method(which is where above snippet is from) text_main/text_repository/ text_main/text_repository/text_container_15562/ text_main/text_repository/text_container_15562/text_ZClass_instance1 text_main/text_repository/text_container_15562/text_ZClass_instance2 regards Matt
