Rendering Folderish ZClass Object
by Chris Withers 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Hi, I have a ZClass based on Folder. Contained within this is a DTML Method, index_html. This is mapped to the 'View' view and renders the appropriate object contained in itself depending on soem logic. All, is well if I access the object through a URL, the page is rendered as expected. However, if I access the object with the following code: <dtml-var testObject> All I get is: <MyClass instance at 8717b90> Why is this? Why does the normal rendering not take place? cheers, Chris PS: I notice that a normal folder object will behave identically, so the ZClass bti is probably irrelevent.

The standard unix text separator is the newline, 0x0A, often shown as \n.

Date-bug in properties?
by Peter Arvidsson 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

When I try to add a date-property and want to leave the Value-field empty i get the following error: Error Type: Invalid Date-Time String Error Value: When I write a date in the Value-field I can add the date. Is this a bug? Why cant I add a date with no default value? In several howtos they just add the date with no default value, so why cant I?

Newbie questions: Job_board Howto, ZCatalog, Squishdot
by Meeting Maker Webmaster 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Hello, I've started looking into Zope to build our future sites and from what I've seen, I love it. I have installed Zope 2.1.6 and 2.2.0b3 for my tests, running on a RedHat 6.2 server (Apache with pcgi). I had a few problems / questions I wasn't able to find an answer for in the various documents I looked at. So here is a somewhat long list. I came across a little problem that you will most certainly be able to solve. Basically, I've tried to follow step by step the Job Board howto (http://www.zope.org/Members/mukhsein/job_board_howto) to get familiar with the ZCatalog and the ZClasses. Everything works fine with Zope 2.1.6, but I am unable to have it work under Zope 2.2.0b3. I am always getting a standard authorization dialog box. And none of the users I defined in my /acl_users object work. I've seen that Zope 2.2.0 brought many changes on the security and ownership part. I am certain my problem is somewhere in there, but I am unable to find where ;-) One more comment. On the 2.2.0b3 server, Anonymous isn't allowed to see anything except /index_html page and once logged in (users get a particular local role), you have the same rights as you normally have with Anonymous. I didn't change anything on the 2.1.6 server. I hope this isn't the source of my problem. I've seen in this mailing list that there is a bug related to manage_addProduct... will 2.2.0b4 correct my problem? This brings me to another question. I've added a ZCatalog object in the 2.2.0b3 Zope test server. When I go under "Indexes" and wish to delete one of the indexes, I get the following error message (I've cut the long path to make it more readable): Traceback (innermost last): File [...]/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File [...]/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File [...]/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File [...]/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File [...]/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_delIndexes) File [...]/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_delIndexes) File [...]/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ZCatalog.py, line 369, in manage_delIndexes (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File [...]/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/Catalog.py, line 333, in delIndex No Index: (see above) This works with 2.1.6, so I believe it is a bug, or is it a "feature"? About authorization, on the 2.2.0b3 server, I have redefined /standard_error_message (send an email, other layout, ...). It works fine except with I get the "Unauthorized" message. In that case, after canceling the dialog box for example, I get the error message available in <dtml-var error_message> displayed instead of mailed to me. I've checked that every object used in this standard_error_message method is available to Anonymous (View + Use mailhost services + Access contents information), but it still does not work. Any hint? One last question ;-) I've seen in this mailing list that Squishdot will not work with Zope 2.2.0 until version 0.4.4... when is this version planed? I've tried to install Squisdot on the Zope 2.2.0b3 server and I get the same problem as with my "Job_Board" test... will one solution solve the other? Thank you very much for your help.

DTMLDocument content - "html quoted" or not
by Aleksander Salwa 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

I have ZClass (called Artykul) which subclasses DTMLDocument. This class has a method, used to view document, which appends some special stuff to document's content. For some reasons I don't want to put this stuff directly into document's data. In mentioned method, to render document, I wrote: <dtml-var this> But this outputs html quoted text (so I see HTML and DTML tags in browser, instead of formatting and variables). When I render this object from another methods (external to this class), everything works as usual. Is this a bug or feature ? :) _____________________________________________ Aleksander Salwa, ololo(a)zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl An applicant for Zopista

External Method not accepting CGI module
by Kelvin Cheong 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Dear All, I have this python module for uploading an image from a client to the server (which would be subsequently inserted into a MySQL database, which is still on the midst of being resolved). I''m trying to import this into Zope as an External MEthod. It's contents are as follows : import cgi form = cgi.FieldStorage() fileitem = form["userTABPIX1"] fname = tempfile.mktemp() fp=open(fname,'w') fp.write(fileitem.file.read()) fp.close() However, Zope generates this error : Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type : KeyError Error Value: userTABPIX1 Apparently, this piece of code is supposed to work. I grabbed it off the mailing list, and I've compared with the python references and tutorials. Is it because it's not meant to be used as an External MEthod? If so, can anybody suggest a way for me to upload files from the client to the server which will subsequently be inserted into a mySQL db? I posted another message in the archive earlier on which describes my previous attempts in inserting an image into the mySQL database from a form. Thanx, k.c.

Ok, silly me, the date is stored ok, but is reported wrong: <I><dtml-var data fmt="%Y/%m/%d"></I><BR> gives me 1999/12/31 instead of 2000/01/01 -- "This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

Patch to DateTime.py
by Curtis Maloney 10 Jul '00

10 Jul '00

Greetings, In my current project, I have to print a lot of dates. Fine, not a problem... _.DateTime().strftime() is just the method, right? Wrong. The people who want this site want the local time, not UTC+0 that strftime enforces. So, I created a tiny patch which adds _.DateTime().strfltime(), which works identically, except it passes LOCALTIME instead of GMTIME. It's tiny, it's simple, but it's REALLY HANDY! Have a better one, Curtis Maloney. <dtml-var standard_work_disclaimer>
