A strange difference between DTMLDocument versus DTMLMethod Zope 2.2.2
by cuiod-tec Jens Gelhaar 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

The following few lines have a different result, when I execute it within an DTMLDocument or DTMLMethod. <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-in "objectItems('Folder')"> <dtml-var title_or_id> </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> The DTMLMethod result looks like it should be, but within a DTMLDocument the result is empty. When I modify the <dtml-in> tag slightly, then it works to <dtml-in "PARENTS[-1].objectItems('Folder')"> I does not seem to me consistent. Is it a new feature or bug. Beside, when I call the DTMLMethod from another Document, the result is empty to. Thanks Jens

SQL

Hi, Somebody experience with a parent code table and how to implement it in Zope (with dtml-tree)? Or is a PArent-Code table not SQL-like and is there a better solution? eg : Parent Code Description 0 0 MasterNode 0 1 Child1 of MasterNode 0 2 Child2 of MasterNode 1 3 Child of Child1 .... Thanks in advance, Tom.

Re: How best to restart Zope?

Hi, I've read all answers about the problem and I'd like to know if there's a big difference between : this solution : "Edit your "start" shell script and add -Z to z2.py command line." and this one :" Put this in your 'start' script : -Z /home/local/zope/var/Z2.pid " ? Is the path very important?Why?

Re: [Zope] ZDebug is disturbing ;-)

ZDebug still has a problem with <dtml-raise>, but I'm thinking of a solution for it. Normally it won't be a problem, but if you depend on the exception text being preserved, ZDebug will break your DTML. Note that the exception *type* is preserved, however, so <dtml-try/except> does work. > PS: What's the digicool.zope.zope newsgroup? I set up a news server on my personal machine and used procmail as a gateway. I can even post. However, I've been told that mailman already has the same capability, so if you'd like to access the zope lists via NNTP also, lobby MattB. Shane

I have some understanding for that: * your email address is invalid (empty) * your mail service provider has no DNS for the mailing host Therefore, my spam filter dropped the messages which you sent directly to me. Maybe, other mail software does not like it either. > Sir Have u faced the same problem after installing Zdegbug????? > Plzz let me know .... I did not yet install ZDebug. And I probably won't do it for the time being. Although I am very curious how ZDebug is able to disturb "sendmail". Dieter

How do I connect to a db from a PythonMethod?
by Bill Welch 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

I have this in an ExternalMethod and it works fine: import MySQLdb conn = MySQLdb.Connection(user='xxxx', passwd='yyyyy', db='zzz') In a PythonMethod, it fails because of the import restriction. What's the easiest way to get around this. I'm not getting anything out of the documentation in PythonMethods/ModuleSecurityInfo because it never says where the code snippets should actually go.

Looking for Zope vs. Others at-a-glance comparison

Perfect. > >Unfortunately its been difficult to get discussions like this going on >zope.org as its mainly devoted to coding problems, while zope-dev is to do >with deep and complex zopezen. Many very helpful goodies have been contributed, and are available under "Downloads". However, as we've seen so often, documentation is the last thing on the priority list, so these gems are mostly still quite rough. It looks like a great deal of value can be added to Zope in the form of ultra-easy integration of stuff that already exists, and step-by-step, "hold my hand" How-To docs to makes sure even the greenest Newbies can make the most of what's there. Thanks for all the cogent comments! Jerry S.

Hi, I´m new to Zope ;) I´m currently composing a set of products for my website and have a little problem now: I need to make a Product that makes it possible to upload a file, well, basically a tuned "FILE" object. I need to add a description. Is it right to add the FILE object in my ZClass, or what should I do?

Workflow, Python and Zope

Here I just repost a statement from Michael (wftk(a)vivtek.com) concerning his workflow product (http://www.vivtek.com/wftk.html, Open-source workflow toolkit). Maybe it's useful for some further developments.
