REQUEST variables in exceptions
by Ramiro Brito Willmersdorf 26 Sep '00

26 Sep '00

Hi, I have a DTML document with the following structure: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-try> <dtml-call "my_external_method(REQUEST)"> <p> Report that everything was ok and wait for ack. <form method=POST action=index_html> <input type=submit value="OK"> </form> <dtml-except MyException> <p class="warning"> Warn about problem found by external method. <form method=POST action="treatError"> <input type=submit value="OK"> </form> </dtml-try> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> and it works wonderfully, to be honest I thought it was quite uncanny to define and raise an exception inside the python module, and having it caught by the DTML document. Now, to improve the treatment of errors I need to refer, inside the <dtml-except> block, to some variables that were defined in the REQUEST variable (I'm pretty confident of this because I used them inside the external method), but it seems that the original REQUEST variable is no longer set inside the <dtml-except> block. Is this correct? What actually happens (in simple terms, please :) when an exception is thrown? I also tried the very few other tricks I know with DTML (<dtml-with "_.namespace..."> outside the <dtml-try> block, plus some other voodoo) but couldn't get it to work, either. Should I return these values as error values with the exception? I can do it if this is the only option, but I'm already using the return value for information related to external method things, and I'd rather not mix the two ``domains'', so to speak.

looking for XML-RPC client for C++ (urgh - but I need it)
by Philipp Auersperg 26 Sep '00

26 Sep '00

We are involved in a project where a another company developes software written in C++ (it's their preference) that has to access data from our Zope server via XML.. I've checked out xmlrpc.com and found lots of language bindings but none for C++ (I know its more difficult to implement because of it's static nature) and one for COM. My question: Does there exist a plain C++ implementation for an XMLRPC **Client** ? thanks phil

How to automatically document a Zope site?
by Brad Clements 26 Sep '00

26 Sep '00

I'm looking for a product, how-to or suggestions on how to document a zope site. Basically I just want to walk the tree of objects and output a nicely formatted series of pages that list the object, type, title, modification time, etc.. Anyone got something ready made?

Cookie pointer.
by Steve Drees 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

I learned this one the hard way. Had a python method id: expireTime parameters: self body: t = self.ZopeTime() + (1.0/192.0) # 7.5 minutes in the future t = t.toZone('GMT') return t.strftime("%A, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT") ------------------------------------------------------ Was trying the following <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('name', 'value', path='/', expires=expireTime)"> This does NOT work. THe following works MUCH better <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('name', 'value', path='/', expires=expireTime())"> -- Steve Drees SysAdmin/Software Developer/Web Geek/Chief Bottle Washer "A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved." http://www.christianmp3zone.com/savanna

multiple ZOPE ...
by Dicken, Peer 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Hi, How can I provide ZOPE Hosting? I have successfully tried SiteAccess and Apache Proxying, but that´s not what I like - it´s a little bit ZOPE "light", no control panel for clients... I think it´s best to provide a zope installation for any of our clients, but, wouldn´t that be eating up my servers memory? Today i´ve set up three installations by simply having 3 zope installations running on different ports in different folders (/www/domain/zope). Is there any more advanced way to do (virtual) hosting with zope AND provide control panels to the clients or is it okay to have one installation per costumer running?

password management and acl_users
by jpenny＠universal-fasteners.com 25 Sep '00

25 Sep '00

Is ther an easy way to allow a user defined in an acl_users to change their own password? Or to put it another way, suppose I wanted a form like: User ID: Current Password: New Password: New Password (2nd time): How would I arrange to have the new password stored in a given instance of acl_users? Thanks Jim
