For a DTML method(!), "id" is the id of the object of which the method is used as a method. In your case, this is the folder. In some cases, you would use "this().id". This gives you the id of the "top level" DTML object. In your case, this would be "index_html". Dieter

Re: [Zope] processing dtml in external method

"evaluating dtml" means calling it. The "__call__" of DTML methods, or, more generally, DocumentTemplates, has two positional parameters, "client" and "REQUEST", and an arbitrary number of keyword parameters. "client" is "None", a single object or a tuple of objects, "REQUEST" is "None" or a mapping, the keyword parameters are anything. The parameters determine, what bindings (i.e. name -> value mappings) are available in the DocumentTemplate's namespace. If there are conflicts, the higher priority source wins. The priority order is as follows (highest priority first): * keyword parameters * attributes of client (I am not sure about the relative priority in the case of more than one clients. I believe to remember that later clients have higher priority) * the mapping. Dieter

Using crontab instead of rc.d
by George Osvald 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hello everyone! My ISP where I have my web page, is running freeBSD 4.0. I do not know a lot about it. I know how to use crontab to start ZOPE at certain time how ever how do I use crontab to check on the script that is already running? Starting ZOPE again when it's running produces an error message and I do not know if that was a healthy solution. to start it I would be using something like: 5 * * * * root ./start This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again. Also I was thinking to run ZOPE in DEBUG mode. That way it stays attached to the terminal (crontab I guess). I know about z2.pid. Nevertheless I find ZOPE down quite often every time they do something at the ISP. I asked them what to do and they told me to use crontab to check the script and restart it. For some reason they don't want me to use rc.d If I could guarantee to remove the z2.pid every time ZOPE goes down, I could apparently include something like this: if [ -x /home/virtuals/account/zope/z2.pid ] then // exit(0) fi 5 * * * * root ./start to check if the file is present and if not to run the script. That can't be done when ZOPE exits abnormally though. Is this setup at all possible? Regards, George Osvald

The latest SiteAccess is packaged a little differently from most other products. Most products are created with the idea that you will untar them in your Zope directory, adn they will put themselves in lib/python/Products/ProductName. SiteAccess just puts itself in the directory SiteAccess. Therefore, you need to untar the siteaccess archive in your lib/python/Products directory. Seeing as you've already done this, you can simply move the SiteAccess folder from one level below your Zope installation folder, and put it in your Products folder. The reason SiteAccess is this way is that it provudes better compatibility with using INSTANCE_HOME to share a single bunch of code between many Zope instances. >From the CHANGES.txt file: * The tarball no longer includes 'lib/python/Products' in file paths. It must be unpacked in the Products directory, for better compatibility with INSTANCE_HOME installations. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

dtml syntax for showing folder objects?
by sean＠horse101.com 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi, I wonder how one would show the dtml documents in a folder with a dtml statement. I see it working with the tree command and I see it working in Yihaw, but there must be a simple way to show just files as links by some sort of call with the subfolder name. Any ideas?

OK. I just downloaded SiteAccess 2.0.0b3 and untarred it in my Zope directory. I shutdown and restarted Zope but when I go to Control Panel/Manage Products I do not see SiteAccess listed. AM I missing something here ( quite probable )?

Product creation question
by Daniel Rusch 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works great. I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects that product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents, dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder). I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory, such as Local File System????? The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? ob.manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_html', title='') <-- THIS LINES GENERATES AN ERROR: AttributeError: manage_addBasicDocument ref the code below. Please reply all if you are responding from the dev list as I usually don't monitor the dev list.

<dtml-let ..> method </dtml-let>
by Jean Jordaan 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Hi all The answer to my previous question makes this one occur to me: if <dtml-var id> in a method refers to the containing document's id, does 'myMethod' get to see 'myVariable'?:: <dtml-let myVariable='Beep'> <dtml-var myMethod> </dtml-let> Testing .. yes, it does! Cool. So why does this:: <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems(['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=<dtml-var sort_key>> give:: Invalid attribute name, "sort_key", for tag <dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectItems (['ccDocClass'])" size=10 start=qs sort=<dtml-var sort_key>, on line 18 of docsByTitle How do I get 'sort_key' in there? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K
