How to read raw data from HTMLFile?
by Kevin Howe 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

I would like to pre-process a DTML file (accessed using HTMLFile) before displaying it in the web browser. Example Code: dtml=HTMLFile('manage/mycode', globals()) def cleanUp: # eliminate blank lines and  from DTML ..... def printDTML(self): return self.cleanUp(dtml) The problem is that the dtml variable doesn't return the DTML, but the object reference. Is there a way to fetch the raw DTML content from the HTMLFile object? Kevin Howe

MessageDialog with dtml?
by Peter Arvidsson 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

Is it possible to display a MessageDialog with dtml only? I have searched the mailinglist archives and found some postings about this but the instructions there doesnt seem to work. Maybe MessageDialog has been changed to 2.2 or something?

I am completely puzzled because the code for doing this is the > same for both of them. Here is how it looks: > > <dtml-with "newsEntries"> > <dtml-if "_.getitem(objId,0).approved == 0"> > <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('approved', 1)"> > <dtml-call "_[objId].propertysheets[1].manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> ... You could save a line by calling this a little differently by using manage_changeProperties instead: change this: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('approved', 1)"> <dtml-call "_[objId].propertysheets[1].manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> to this: <dtml-call "_[objId].propertysheets[1].manage_changeProperties(approved=1)"> > So the updating of both of the products are done by <dtml-call > "_[objId].propertysheets[1].manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> but when I > try to update pressreleases is says I am unauthorized. This is probably an ownership issue. Make sure the DTML method's owner has manager rights. In Zope 2.2 the user running a method takes on the security level of the owner of the method even if it is lower than that of the user. This is in order to prevent certain trojan horse type attacks. Good Luck, Casey Duncan
