Small Tip
by Maik Roeder 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Hi ! It always got on my nerves that I needed to change the column size of the DTML Method and DTML Document Edit Forms manually by pressing "Wider" and "Narrower". Instead of patching the Zope source code, I found the following a good approach: Define a property in your root folder: id: dtpref_cols type: int value: 80 The magic of acquisition does all the rest ;-) Greetings, Maik Röder -- "The computing future is based on "cyberbodies" - self-contained, neatly-ordered, beautifully-laid-out collections of information, like immaculate giant gardens."

Microsoft SQL Server Access under Linux?
by Darin Lee 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Zopistas, Is it possible to access an ODBC data source through Zope running under Linux? I have perused the literature, and it appears the Zope DA's for ODBC only run under the Win32 environment. I would very much like to setup ZAP (for many reasons), but our "organizational standard" is MS SQL Server 6.5. Thanks, -Darin Lee Darin M.

RE: [Zope] Where do I find out about cookies?
by Jean Jordaan 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Hi Loren, J. Atwood, Maik Thanks for all the info! I'll digest & give feedback where I can. In the meantime, this is what I've fixed up for myself (with a LOT of help from Roche Compaan) .. In DTML Document 'index_html':: <dtml-var docsSorted> In DTML Method 'docsSorted':: <dtml-if "REQUEST.form.has_key('sort_key')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_key', REQUEST.form['sort_key'])"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('sort_key', REQUEST.form['sort_key'])"> <dtml-else> <dtml-if "REQUEST.cookies.has_key('sort_key')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_key', REQUEST.cookies['sort_key'])"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('sort_key', 'title')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_key', 'title')"> </dtml-if "REQUEST.cookies.has_key['sort_key']"> </dtml-if "REQUEST.form.has_key('sort_key')"> <table border="1"> <tr> <th> <a href="<dtml-var id>?sort_key=title">Title</a> </th> <th> <a href="<dtml-var id>?sort_key=origin">Origin</a> </th> <th> <a href="<dtml-var id>?sort_key=series">Series</a> </th> </tr> <dtml-if "sort_key=='title'"> <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=title> <tr> <td> <a href="<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var title></a> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')"> [<b><a href="<dtml-var id>/manage_workspace">Edit</a></b>] </dtml-if> </td> <td> <dtml-var origin> </td> <td> <dtml-var series> </td> </tr> </dtml-in> <dtml-elif "sort_key=='series'"> <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=series> <tr> <td> [... and so on for the other possibilities ...] The rationale is: 'docsSorted' is called as method by 'index_html'. - Upon the first iteration, there is no cookie and no form variable. A cookie and a form variable is set to 'title' as default. The form variable governs. - Upon subsequent iterations, if there is a form variable, then 'index_html' was called from 'docsSorted' and the sort-order has *just* changed. The cookie is changed (which will not be noticed during this iteration since it first has to be received again) and the form variable governs. - If there is a only a cookie and no form variable, it governs. Now I want to extend it so that choosing a sort-order for the *second* time reverses the order -- does this really entail repeating the entire '<dtml-if "sort_key=='title'">' section for '"order=='reverse'"'? I think I'm probably better off using the catalog for this, rather than dtml-in batching .. -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

Re: [Zope] strange login behaviour
by Didier Georgieff 25 Aug '00

I finally found the reason. I was redirecting with a property as URL. When i gave the url in *plain* text it worked OK. I still don't understand why. Thanks for the responses.
