How do I merge form & URL vars into sql easily
by asjf11＠uaa.alaska.edu 05 Jul '00

I am a new user to Zope and I'm trying to pass data that has been entered into a form (either through GET or POST) into another object. This object calls a z sql method to insert the form data into the database. So far, the only way I've found to pass data to the sql is to define arguments for it and then, in the dtml-document (or method) use: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set['argument','value']"> (and it took me long enough to figure THAT out, let me tell you) The problem is that sucks when there are 30 form varibles that need to be inserted into the database. I would think that there is some way to let the sql method see these varibles that are defined within my document. Or loop through all URL or form varibles defined and sets all the vars in request. Something to keep from having to write the above dtml 30 times. Thanks. Jake Feasel

hi , I am try to setup a cookie based authorization system(learnt from my perl dyas). i dont know much of sql, so after reading thru ZSql guide, i could build up a list of my users login and passwords. If i query the database and test it the result get printed on screen. How do i put up queried data into variables so i can conditionally check them? Does there exist some readymade package for setting up cookie based authorization. i could locate someting called LoginManager, but how do i use it. Thanks for any clues.

Brian, here are the steps to recreate: Caveat: Anonymous is unrestricted at the root level 1) Create a folder 2) Remove inherited (acquired) rights for all attributes 3) Add a user to the folder 4) Give the user the manager role 5) Access the root level using a restarted (clean) browser to confirm accessibility 6) Access the new folder created in (1). You should be prompted to login. 7) Login using the new user account 8) Now try to access the root level again. You should be prompted for a password.

Lists and external methods
by Pieter Claerhout 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Hello there, I started working with Zope a few days ago, and I'm currently having some troubles with external methods. I made an external method that returns a record like list, but this doesn't seem to work correctly> The list look a bit like this: 90, "x86", "Explanation", "22/06/200" 89, "x86", "Explanation", "22/06/200" 89, "mac", "Explanation", "22/06/200" I want the external method to return this in a list, where I can iterate over using the <dtml-in> tag, so that I can reference the different fields in each record with a name. What should the list look like so that I can accomplish this? Pieter

In my last post i search for help concerning to the use of the libs Reportlab in to Zope environment. I make some research in Reportlab mailing list and Osmin Lazo (Canada) suggests my to use the following buffer class ######################## # Buffer Class ######################## class buffer: def __init__(self): self._buffer = [] self._size = 0 def write(self,line): self._buffer.append(str(line)) def read(self): data = string.join(self._buffer, '') return data def tell(self): return len(self._buffer) My fistreportlabinzope.py is: ############################# # firstreportlabinzope.py ############################## import string from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A3, landscape from reportlab.pdfgen.textobject import PDFTextObject from types import * class buffer: def __init__(self): self._buffer = [] self._size = 0 def write(self,line): self._buffer.append(str(line)) def read(self): data = string.join(self._buffer, '') return data def tell(self): return len(self._buffer) stream = buffer() c = Canvas(stream, pagesize=landscape(A3), bottomup=0) c.setFont("Times-Roman", 12.0, leading=10.0) c.drawString(100,100, "Hello World") c.showPage() c.save() tempfile=open("helloworld.pdf","wb") tempfile.write(stream.read()) temfile.close() ########################3 My main problem is: When i tried to add the External method i have the following error message: IOERROR: [Errno 13] Permission Denied 'helloworld.pdf' How i can fix it?

WorldPilot and UW-IMAP?
by Charlie Wilkinson 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Greets, I'm experiencing an issue with WorldPilot not showing the body of messages that have attachments. I can only guess that this is because WorldPilot was designed for use with the Cyrus IMAP server and I'm using it on a stock RedHat system, which I presume sports UW-IMAP. I've searched around and not found too much detail about UW vs. Cyrus for WorldPilot. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether or not my problems are due to using UW-IMAP and generally whether it's worthwhile to suffer a Cyrus install, vs. a hack or patch to WorldPilot? I frankly don't want or need what Cyrus has to offer. I really like WorldPilot and I'm trying to push it on an office full of people, but you can imagine how thrilled they are about not being able to read select messages. They are starting to make noises about wanting to go back to Outlook now.

Hi Marco, From: Marco Mariani [mailto:m.mariani@imola.nettuno.it] Subject: Re: [Zope] File referencing and LocalFS >> >> foldername = string.join(colname, '') >> >> using a "blank" ('') between each string, in other words, with no delimiter. >Maybe you meant >foldername = string.join(string.split(colname,' '),'') >or >foldername = string.replace(colname,' ','') >because join takes a list, not a string. Yes, you are correct! Later, Jerry S.
