<dtml-with object> calls first?
by Chris Withers 18 Aug '00

Hi, Just noticed this: If you do <dtml-with object> where object is something callable, it calls it. That's a bit unpleasant for things like Squishdot Sites which do something (return a list of all their elements) when you call them. So the only way to _really_ do what I thought dtml-with is for was to do <dtml-with "object"> which is sucky to say the least. Comments, anyone? cheers, Chris

Hi Toby > No feedback on this from anyone yet. Well, that doesn't really sound encouraging .. So it looks like the main NT-based authentication for Zope is currently jcNTUserFolder, running as pcgi behind IIS. I'm making an intranet for 100-200 people, with offices on three continents connected via VPN. It would be very cool to be able to delegate all password worries to NT. cheers, -- jean

DCOracle help required
by Alwyn Schoeman 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

Hi, Let me explain my situation. The oracle server is version 7.3.4 running on Solaris. I compiled DCOracle 1.3.1b1 on the Sun using the Oracle 7 libraries. With this I can access an Oracle 8.0.5 database running on Linux over the network. Now I want to access the Oracle 7 database from a Linux machine. Only Oracle you can get for Linux is 8, so I'm using 8.1.6. I can get it to compile and installed. But when I do the following to the Oracle 7 database I get: >>> import DCOracle >>> dbc = DCOracle.Connect("ota/ota@ota1") OCI_ERROR at oci_8.c:326 ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python1.5/DCOracle/ocidb.py", line 77, in __init__ sc=oci_8.Logon(u,p,s) OracleError: (1005, 'ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied') Can anyone please help me to get this to work... Thank you Alwyn Schoeman

<dtml-else> and 'unexpected end tag'
by Chris Withers 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

Squishdot_manage_postings.dtml contains this weird bit of DTML: <dtml-else reviewed> <FONT COLOR="RED">*</FONT> </dtml-else reviewed> Is this a weird bit of syntax that's allowed in DTML or is it a bug in the parser that means this isn't being picked up? If it's a weird bit of syntax, then there's a bug in dtml-in 'cos when you try to wrap the above in a dtml-in, you get that very unhelpful 'unexpected end tag, for tag </dtml-in postingValues>' error. While I'm at it, that error, which you see a lot, is _really_ unhelpful, since it doesnt' actually tell you anything about the real problem ;-) cheers, Chris

The date in Dutch - really last time!
by Steve Alexander 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

Ok... this is *really* the last time. I don't know why I was using a regular expression, when string.replace would have done just as well. Here's my final version of the external method. I *promise* I won't change it again. Of course, the simplest version would be from string import replace def D_date(datestring): datestring=replace(datestring, 'Monday', 'Montag') datestring=replace(datestring, 'Tuesday', 'Dienstag') # und so weiter However, this would be slower to execute than using "reduce", as below. ---- from string import replace # you can remove lines where the words are the same in both languages replacements={ 'Monday':'Montag', 'Tuesday':'Dienstag', 'Wednesday':'Mittwoch', 'Thursday':'Donnerstag', 'Friday':'Freitag', 'Saturday':'Samstag', 'Sunday':'Sonntag', 'January':'Januar', 'February':'Februar', 'March':'März', 'April':'April', 'May':'Mai', 'June':'Juni', 'July':'Juli', 'August':'Augustus', 'September':'September', 'October':'Oktober', 'November':'November', 'December':'Dezember' } replace_fns=[] for e,d in replacements.items(): replace_fns.append( eval("lambda x: replace(x, '%s', '%s')" % (e, d))) del replacements def D_date(datestring): return reduce(lambda x,y: y(x), replace_fns, datestring) ---- -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

Total newbie with NTUserFolder 1.3 issues
by Christian Adams 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

I'm running Zope 2.2.0 over NT Server 4. I installed Python 1.5.2 and the latest Win32 Extensions, then unzipped NTUserFolder1.3.zip into C:\Program Files\ZopeServer\NTUserFolder, then ran both the init.py and NTUserFolder.py files after entering my Domain and PDC info into NTUserFolder.py I ran them both to get the respective .pyc files... my question is... What now? What do I need to do next to actually get this stuff working as opposed to taking up disk space, because nothing yet has actually happened and, even if It has, I have no idea how to find out. I've been checking for a Users registry entry in HKLM\Software\Digital Creations\zope\ but it doesn't exist... I get the feeling that something major, like The Point has passed me by and I can't find Docs on this anywhere. help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only z^Hhope.

NTUserFolder-1.3-Comments
by Jean Jordaan 18 Aug '00

Hi Toby In the source of NTUserFolder from end of last year I see: ## Experimental support for authenticating from a domain ## (rather than the local computer) Use this at your own ## risk. If you do, please let me know how you get on. I will ## only include a user interface for these parameters once I ## have independant verification that there are no problems. Have you had any feedback? Does this work at all? -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Sofware -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

The date in Dutch - last time!
by Steve Alexander 18 Aug '00

Ok... this is the last time. You can put a line: del replacements just after the for loop, and save a tiny amount of memory. This might be a useful optimisation if you're dealing with a very large list of words to replace. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net

The date in Dutch
by Steve Alexander 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

Sent again -- here's a slightly more compact version, that avoids declaring a separate class to hold the expressions in. Michel Houben wrote: > How can I fix the date in Dutch, for example Donderdag 17 Augustus 2000 > instead of Thursday 17 August 2000. I hope someone can solve this problem. I don't know any Dutch. However, here's an external method that will convert the months and days of the week in a string from English to German. There are probably better names for the variables and such, so don't take this as as example of clear maintainable programming :) It ought be be pretty efficient. Assuming you call the external method D_date, use something like this: <dtml-var "D_date('October February July, Tuesday, 23 March 2000')"> ---- import re # you can remove lines where the words are the same in both languages replacements={ 'Monday':'Montag', 'Tuesday':'Dienstag', 'Wednesday':'Mittwoch', 'Thursday':'Donnerstag', 'Friday':'Freitag', 'Saturday':'Samstag', 'Sunday':'Sonntag', 'January':'Januar', 'February':'Februar', 'March':'März', 'April':'April', 'May':'Mai', 'June':'Juni', 'July':'Juli', 'August':'Augustus', 'September':'September', 'October':'Oktober', 'November':'November', 'December':'Dezember' } replace_regexes=[] for e,d in replacements.items(): replace_regexes.append( eval("lambda x: re.compile('%s').sub('%s', x)" % (e, d))) def D_date(datestring): return reduce(lambda x,y: y(x), replace_regexes, datestring) ---- -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
