Python Install (NT)
by J. Michael Mc Kay 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

I'm trying to determine how the python installation works. The Web Server I use is Oreilly's Website Pro. Python is included with website and installs to a direcory that you choose during setup. So this is one instance of Python to serve Web Site on port 80. Zope has it's own python installation A second instance of Zope has another python. Do the multiple python installations work together? I could only find one Python Service entry for Zope, although two instances are running.

cr/lf causing spaces
by Nils Jeppe 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Hello Folks, One of my "favorite" issues with win/DOS has always been its use of CR+LF combinations. Why? Because all browsers interpret the thing as a SPACE. Would it be possible for Zope (which has to parse the dtml files etc anyway) to convert cr+lf to plain cr? The problem I have currently is that if I format my dtml source nice and orderly, I end up having spaces in my Output where I don't want any... Or is there already a way to avoid this? Best wishes, Nils

When I try to load the Session into my page, it just work for the first time, after that I got an error like this : Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. KeyError Sorry, a Zope error occurred. and when I view the source, I got this :  Is this cause by the wrong database field name or what ??

Hello, At 20:43 08.07.2000 +0000, you wrote: >Would it be possible for Zope (which has to parse the dtml files etc >anyway) to convert cr+lf to plain cr? You might want to give a look to a product called "StructuredText Document" under http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/STX_Document. It will keep the the layout as typed without having to give any HTML. But the good thing with it is that you can add some HTML tags if needed and they will be rendered correctly in your browser. There is also a How-To about structued text ( http://www.zope.org/Members/millejoh/structuredText ) The other way to use structured-text is by telling it to Zope when you render and object with <dtml-var stx_doc_name fmt=structured-text> (taken from the how-to mentioned above). the structured-text format is one of these many cool Zope features. >The problem I have currently is that if I format my dtml source nice and >orderly, I end up having spaces in my Output where I don't want any... Other way arround would be to manually add a <BR> before every carriage return you make... but I don't think that's what you want ;-) Best regards, Gérard Métrailler Jr. Meeting Maker Inc. ... the intelligent choice for collaborative scheduling Email: webmaster(a)meetingmaker.com Web: http://www.meetingmaker.com

"http://www.zope.org": HORRIBLE HTML
by Svante Kleist 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Has anybody tried to validate the Zope homepage? Like so: < URL: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zope.org%2F > My attention was drawn to this sad fact when I reported (was I thought was) a bug in Mozilla: < URL: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44757 > Is Zope buggy, producing HTML like this?

Resizing uploaded image in external method with Pil
by Anja DeRidder 08 Jul '00

Resizing uploaded image in external method with Pil Peter Sebrechts sebrechts.deridder(a)pandora.be Hello, I have a Form, where I can select an Image to upload, combined with several fill-in fields for the Image-properties. The Form starts with: <form action="add_newImage_html" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> The uploadfield is: <input type="file" name="newimage" value=""> Next are the other input-fields and the Submit button. -------------------- The uploadform and the DTMLmethod 'add_newImage_html' reside in the folder 'Images', where the new created image-objects are stored. In each image-object is the uploaded newimage stored, and also a subfolder, where a new created thumbnail from the original image is placed. The resizing to a thumbnail is done in an external method with Pil. And here is my problem: I can pass an Image trough an external method without resizing it. However, when I try to open it with " im = Pil.Image.open(newimage)", I receive an errormessage: 'cannot identify image file' After long searches in the Archives, I'm aware that it has something to do with making the image-data available as a string or as a file-handle. After many trials, I've got only errors... The dtml-method 'add_newImage_html' is as follows: <dtml-with REQUEST> <dtml-if "newimage.filename"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('IDnr',REQUEST.form['new_ IDnr '])"> <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ImageProduct']"> <dtml-call "Imageclass_add(_.None,_, NoRedir=1)"> </dtml-with> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Images'])"> <dtml-if "(_['sequence-item'].id == REQUEST.form['new_ IDnr '])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('new_ArtNo',_['sequence-item'])"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-call "_['new_ IDnr '].manage_addImage(newimage.filename,newimage)"> <dtml-call "_['new_ IDnr '].manage_addFolder('preview')"> # until now, everything is OK: image-object is created, image stored and previewfolder created. #now, I try to make a thumbnail and store it in the 'preview' folder: <dtml-with "_['new_ IDnr '].preview"> <dtml-call "manage_addImage(newimage.filename,thumbmaker(newimage))"> </dtml-with> -------------------- The external method 'thumbmaker': def thumbmaker (self,newimage): """convert image to preview-size (128 x 128) """ import Pil im = Pil.Image.open(newimage) im = im.thumbnail((128,128)) return im I tried also: im = Pil.Image.open(StringIO(newimage)) # (with StringIO imported) and in the dtml-method: <dtml-call "manage_addImage(newimage.filename,thumbmaker(str(newimage)))"> and passing via REQUEST.newimage from the dtml- to the external method and finally refering to the already stored image was also without result. Ps: I know that Photo does something similar, but it seems me not easy to combine with my multi-inputfield uploadForm. Peter

strange catalog problem
by ed colmar 08 Jul '00

08 Jul '00

Here's a weird one. I'm testing out my products catalog functionality, and I'm seeing strange results. I add an object "A" with an indexed variable called 'styles' that contains the values: ['Ambient', 'Breakbeat', 'Downtempo'] I add a second object "B" with the varaibles: ('Ambient', 'Breakbeat', 'Downtempo', 'Hardcore', 'Hip-Hop', 'House', 'Jungle', 'Techno', 'Trance') When I search for these varables, the results get somewhat mixed up. 3 incorrect searches out of 8. search for: results: Ambient B* Breakbeat A&B Downtempo A&B Hardcore A* Hip-Hop * House B Jungle B Techno B Trance B All these variables are inputted through a select box, so the spelling/case should be identical. There's some kind of a pattern here though, I don't quite see it. this is the call that I'm using to index the object: self.Catalog.catalog_object(ob,'Promoters/'+id) Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
