Sequence-key-note
by Sven Hohage 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

I don't know if this is usefull to someone but I've found that using a token property you can sort the elements with sequence-key(the first char is the key). For example -> token property "citynames": London Liverpool Rome New York <dtml- in citynames> &dtml-sequence-key;: &dtml-sequence-item; </dtml- in> The output is: L: London L: Liverpool N:New York R: Rome

Yihaw- adding HTML files - newbie questions?
by Sean Kelley 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

I want to add HTML files to the Yihaw directory but when I use "add file" it creates its own header thereby cancelling out my header in the file. If I use the add text note or other methods for adding objects you can paste HTML into a form but cannot select from the OS (upload). Am I missing something here or is it a little difficult to add these types of items? I may want to edit an HTML file but there is no mechanism for doing this with add file. All I am trying to provide an easy way to display/manage hierarchical html files in folders. I may want to add a squishdot object on some folders and would like to incorporate banner ads, etc. Am I better of with straight Zope? Is there another product that will do this? If I use straight Zope, is there an easy way to show a folders dtml documents via DTML? --Sean

The "vortex" (which is, I think, still the only one like that at Carowinds) actually looks pretty good, though. :) > > Are > you going to meet us at the church or are you going to meet us at > Carowinds? > I'm planning on coming down Friday evening and meeting y'all at the church. Do you know what time they are planning on meeting? The last that I had heard was 8 AM. --------- Jess

Re: [Zope] Using crontab instead of rc.d

Why don't you write a shell script which 1. starts the ./stop script, and 2. starts the ./start script every 5 minutes? So you don't have to check if Zope runs. It's like a restart. -goe- ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

speeding up dtml-tree
by Clinton Roy 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

hello folks i'm using the dtml-tree tag and generating it's contents via external methods. Unfortunately child lookups are quite slow, as well as the icon choosing machinery; is there any way to cache the tree node objects that my external method creates? thanks for any help. -- Clinton Roy

Microsoft SQL Server Access under Linux?
by Spicklemire, Jerry 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Darin asked: > Is it possible to access an ODBC data source through Zope running under Linux? I'm getting ready to test such a solution this week. First, we'll try : ODBC Socket Server http://odbc.linuxave.net/ and the accompanying Python Client. This will require some coding, and wrapping the Python Client as an External Method. ODBC Socket Server isn't the most generic approach I've seen, but it is about as simple as such stuff can get. If that one doesn't pan out, it's on to : SQLRelay http://www.firstworks.com/site/pages/html/frames.html which is more generic, and even has a Zope Database Adapter. My fallback plan, assuming insurmountable snags with the first two attempts is: FreeTDS http://www.freetds.org/ which is SQL Server specific, and so the least generic of all. Then, if all else fails, we'll have to look at the OpenLink (for $) stuff. OpenLink http://www.openlinksw.com/ I'll let you know how it goes. Later, Jerry S..

Re. Linux and ODBC
by Spicklemire, Jerry 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi Folks, Just to follow up on the plan to test ODBC Socket Server. We now have a working copy resident on a NT test system here, which enables us to ship queries across the LAN from Unix / Linux land to hit against Windows Native (ODBC) data stores, and get back datasets as XML. So far, it works like a champ, and it comes with a handy little Python demo client app. All I need to do now is wrap an enhanced client process as an external method, and voila, a whole bunch of sticky wickets will get smoothed out! you can get it at: http://odbc.linuxave.net/ More Later, Jerry S..

RE: [Zope] What does context.registerBaseClass() do ???
by Chris McDonough 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

This should be used in the initialize() routine of your product. It initializes the class passed in so it may be use as a base class for ZClasses in your Zope instance. It takes a single class object as an argument. An example __init__.py: import Foo def initialize(context): context.registerBaseClass(Foo) > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Rusch [mailto:drusch@globalcrossing.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 4:56 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] What does context.registerBaseClass() do ??? > > > I have searched the FM's and I cannot find anything on > context.registerBaseClass().

Sean, This is mostly on purpose. It will probably only get more like this in time to come.
