Document Title
by Terry Babbey 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

I am trying to get a document title to print out and am having problems. As part of my web page I would like to display the title of a document, and the document id is stored in a variable. But Zope is interpretting the information in the variable as a string and not as a document id. Any ideas, Terry -- __________________________________________________________________ Terry Babbey Technical Support Specialist Lambton College, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada __________________________________________________________________

Hi Maik, I've been trying to use the ZMirror product and wget with varying degrees of success. See my response to Andy McKay for a description of where I am now. Of course, if I was a real Zopista, instead of a newbie, I would rewrite the ZMirror product to assign file extensions to its output, right?

Folders like http://localhost/w3mir/ will be mirrored to a folder: w3mir/ and an index.html file inside: w3mir/index.html Hope this helps.

Re: low level HTML in Zope

(There should be a rule that nothing is every usefully compared to the hideous Frontpage.) Zope's text box interfaces do encourage you to mess with low level HTML, but there is no help or verification that you actually know what you're doing. Learning raw HTML is fun and can be useful, but if you program that way, you should always follow up with a *validator* like CSE HTML Validator or a recent build of Weblint. You will find errors! And errors do matter!

I want to write my own Product in python that uses FSSession to store a very minimum amount of information... For the life of me i cannot figure out how to correctly create an instance of an FSSession that can be manipulated inside my own python written Zope product... Any help would be.. well... helpful.. At the moment the code looks somethign like this: ---------Start Python code----------------- from Products.FSSession.FSSession import FSSession --- a class definition --- def FStest(self): """fssession test""" self.a = FSSession() <---- error appears here self.a.set('hey','there') return 'done' ----------End Python code-------------- -----Start DTML------- <dtml-var "Zope_object_name.test()"> -----End DTML------- ----The error---- Error Type: TypeError Error Value: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 1 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

LOL Good catch, I was just about to e-mail more questions ;-) I've been banging my head on it for most of the day, and I think what it comes down to is - why does netscape have no problem displaying pages from ZServer that have no file extension, and yet try to save all files from IIS that don't have a file extension? I think it is because ZServer correctly sends the appropriate MIME type along with each file. IIS doesn't. Apparently IIS sends files without extensions as an "application/octet-stream" content-type. I've tried changing this in IIS by changing the ".*" MIME mapping, but to no avail. I'm afraid I'm getting far afield from the topic of Zope and need to address this to some IIS list or other :-P Thanks for your help, though yours, Jake <jlebeau(a)cityofboise.org> >>> "Andy McKay" <AndyM(a)ActiveState.com> 07/10/00 01:13PM >>> Oops of course you are mirroring to a static file that setting a header will do no good.

Mirroring to IIS
by Jake LeBeau 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Hello all, I'm attempting to mirror our Zope site to IIS 5.0 on a W2K Server, and am having problems with Netscape Navigator. Because the files have no file extension, Netscape keeps trying to download and save the files to disk, rather than displaying the content as HTML. I've tried several ways of specifying that the MIME content type header coming from the server is "text/html", but nothing alters the behavior of Netscape. Is there anyone else out there who may have had experience with this and would be willing to help? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Jake LeBeau <jlebeau(a)cityofboise.org>

Are you sure, you did write the argument correctly? You know, Zope is case sensitiv. If it is not wrong, then maybe, this is one of the Zope 2.1.6 Z SQL method bugs. Look in the collector (URL:http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector) for a patch. Dieter

As I understand the > alphabetical characters are the sequence-keys and the float values are the > sequence-items. > > Where do misunderstand? What you see is caused by the following code in "DocumentTemplate.DT_In.InClass.__init__": if has_key('sort'): self.sort=sort=args['sort'] if sort=='sequence-item': self.sort='' This means, "dtml-in sort=sequence-item" does not sort by "sequence-item" but by the complete tuple (key,item). I think, the special treatment of lists of pairs is altogether a slight misfeature. It would probably have been better to use a special "dict" attribute in analogy to the "mapping" attribute to call for the special pair interpretation. 'sequence-item' should then still be the complete item and 'sequence-value' the second pair component. Probably, it is too late by now to change this. Dieter

automatic link adjustment
by Ragnar Beer 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Howdy Zopistas out there! I just ran into some kind of administrative problem: my students are not so willing anymore when it comes to changing links for the third revision of our website. There are about 200 links to change manually and they have my full sympathy. Apart from that this process is quite error-prone and always needs a lot of testing. Is it possible to have automatic link adjustment in Zope if you change an objects name? I mean like in Dreamweaver or whatever website management programm so that it would ask whether to adjust the referring links if you change a page's name? I know we could do the management partly with Dreamweaver and put the files via ftp but whatever sends cleartext passwords is not an option. So ftp is out. Any other way? --Ragnar
