Xron not seeming to work
by Bill Anderson 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Ok, after downloading the new Xron (0-0-9), I seem to have a problem. This code: ===== <dtml-with "PARENTS[-1].manage_addProduct['DinerItems']"> <dtml-call "DailyOrder_add(_.None, _)"> </dtml-with> <dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]"><dtml-sendmail mailhost=MailHost> To: Portal Admin <anderson(a)anderson.boi.hp.com> From: Portal Admin <anderson(a)anderson.boi.hp.com>> Reply-To: Portal Admin <anderson(a)anderson.boi.hp.com> Subject: REMINDER: Take out the garbage tonight! Daily order Created </dtml-sendmail></dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]"> ===== works when I hit 'trigger', and reschedules itsself for the next day. It does not, however, work at the specified time. No mail is sent, and the adding of the product does not occur. :( Any ideas? -- Bill Anderson (ARC) Unix/Linux System Administrator HPSO Engineering Productivity Team Thursday, July 13, 2000 Random Quote: A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.

This appears to be a classic aquisition gotcha. You can use the "only" option of the dtml-with tag to eliminate namespace conflicts. However, in this case I might suggest passing the parameters directly to objemedswf instead of using REQUEST. like so: <dtml-var "Flash4.objembedswf(swf='login.swf', width='100%', height='100%')"> This leaves no ambiguity about what is being called, where it is located and what is being passed to it. This creates more readable code IMHO. -Casey Duncan

Implementing a login form instead of BASIC authentication
by Meeting Maker Webmaster 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hello, I am currently looking into implementing a login form to replace the standard BASIC authentication. I've looked into AccessControl/User.py and there seems to be a validate function that would enable me to do it. The only problem is that I am unable to figure out how to use it. The basic idea is to have a forms that requires the username and the password. This will then enable users to log into the system. Thank you for your help.

RE: [Zope] JavaScript help!

How about: document.manage_edit_form["data:text"] -----------Original Message------------ From: "Peter Be" <peter(a)grenna.net> To: <zope(a)zope.org> Subject: [Zope] JavaScript help! Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 17:18:24 +0100 charset="iso-8859-1" Maybe not a Zope specific question but the problem arises only with Zope DTML. The documentEdit.dtml page in OFS has this little HTML: <TEXTAREA NAME="data:text" WRAP="Off" COLS="50" ROWS="20"></TEXTAREA> And what I want to do is trigger a JavaScript that replaces specific characters in the textarea box to others. I.e. Replace swedish ö with HTML: ö The problem is the name of the textarea box! It is called "name:text" If I replace the name of the textarea box to say "data", then my JavaScript works fine. I have tried to "eval" the box, but to no effect. Any ideas??

Does there exist any simple method to add 'Create and Start Working In' button on 'Add Version' page?

Connection problem with database
by Tom Deprez 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hi, If somebody had the same problem as I've now, please let me know something: At certain moments, Zope encounters problems connecting to my database (Interbase, don't know if it is solely Interbase related). When I then Close and reopen the connection, everything works fine again. Somebody experienced this also? Found the error? Or what am I doing wrong? More information on my situation: The database isn't visited often at the moment (only by me). This is just a test-setup. The error happens when there is a long time between 2 requests. As if the connection closes itself, but doesn't opens itself again. Thanks, Tom.

Shortly after posting this, I found a buglet that causes an error when you edit a Xron DTML Method that was created before version 0.0.9.

use properties to get an object with dtml-var
by Gerard Metrailler Jr. 14 Aug '00

14 Aug '00

Hello, I am trying to get the following more generic. <dtml-var "content.whos_who.gmetrail.real_name"> In that case, content and whos_who are folder, gmetrail is a ZClass I created which derivates from Image and real_name is a property of that object. What I am trying to do is getting something like: <dtml-var "user_info + REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER + real_name"> where user_info is a property that I defined in / I've tried to use a <dtml-with> wrapped arround the dtml-var, but couldn't figure out how to get the dtml-with use the property instead of the hardcoded path.
