Faulty default ZClass constructor method?
by Jean Jordaan 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi all If I add a product from ' /Control_Panel / Products ', and then add a ZClass in there with 'Create constructor objects' checked, I end up with a ' /Control_Panel / Products / ccTest / testClass_add ' method containing:: <dtml-if DestinationURL> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL+'/manage_workspace')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( URL2+'/manage_workspace')"> </dtml-if> This generates:: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: bad operand type(s) for + File C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 335, in eval (Object: RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL+'/manage_workspace')) (Info: DestinationURL) File <string>, line 0, in ? TypeError: (see above) Adding a () to the DestinationURL above made it work:: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( DestinationURL()+'/manage_workspace')"> Shouldn't this be fixed somewhere? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

ZClass Date Fields
by Craig 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

I'm sure you've heard this question before, so bare with me. I went through the ZClass tutorial and got everything working right except Date properties. Lets assume, for example, that my ZCLass is called CDClass. When I create a new CDClass instance (using the addForm), it always uses the default date for Date properties instead of the ones I've entered in the form. A co-worker of mine has had the same problem but we have not yet discovered why. Thoughts? Solutions?

Can't compare apples to apples. (document_id != id_of_my_document)
by T.J. Mannos 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

Hi, there, I have a DTML document called "apples". A call to <dtml-var document_id> gives the string "apples" However, a <dtml-if "document_id == 'apples'"> returns false. Am I missing something? I've tried _.str(document_id) and even _.string.strip(_.str(document_id)). Thanks, T.J.

Simple Directory of URLs problem (Waaa)
by Peter Be 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Roug Installing your Simple Directory of URLs gives me this message when I start up Zope on window98. "that is not valid. This should never happen. (Waaa)." There is something wrong with the permissions I guess but I can't see the error message it generates because either I'm stupid or MS DOS PROMPT is to short on lines. If it was Linux I could at least have scrolled upwards to see the whole error message. I can see that the error must occur in PermissionMapping.py I run Zope 2.2.1b1 on Windows98. The tgz file I downloaded contained three files. __init__.py, version.txt and product.dat. Is that correct? The problem is, that I can't see or Add the Simple URL object from my Add dropdown list. Why is that? I have so far never had any problems with this setup. (I think) It is a development server, so I can knock it off and start again if I have to. I have followed the Installation instructions, and I have successfully installed your product previously on Zope 2.1.6 Cheers, Peter

Re: [Zope] Microsoft SQL Server Access under Linux?

Use Sybase. Sybase even provide the client libs for download for *ahem* evaluation. MS SQL == Sybase wearing a pair of bad Groucho Marx glasses/nose/mustache (aka an annoying management GUI) Or FreeTDS, but last time I looked that wasn't threadsafe.

Re: [Zope] newbiz : zope connection

HTTP is a connection less protocol (to be precise, HTTP 1.0). Thus, a priori, there is no notion of connection: A user is only connected to the server for the duration of a single request. The connection is closed as soon as the request is completed. Zope 2.2 has a facility in its Control Panel where you can see, how much requests are currently in work. This gives you the 'currently' connected users. To get more information, you would analyse ZServer's log file: "var/Z2.log". It contains an entry for each HTTP request. There are tools to analyse such a log file. Search the mailing list's archive for suggestions for such tools.

Re: [Zope] How to test if an object exist

I hope, you are not, because the method cannot raise a (NameError,folder1). Anyway, if your problem is in Python code, the traceback contains precise line number information for the problem. In order to test, whether an object O can access another object o, you can use: "hasattr(O,'o')". In your example: if hasattr(self,'folder1'): return 'Object exists' This will not test, that 'folder1' is contained in "self" but that a 'folder1' is accessible (acquired) in "self". In order to test for direct containment, you would use "self.aq_base" instead of "self". Dieter
