Usually, between DTML1 (creating the form) and DTML2 (accessing the form content) is the WWW browser. I assume this familiar setup (tell me, in case I am wrong): you find the form content in the dictionary "REQUEST.form". Its content is automatically imported in the DTML namespace. Thus, you can simply access it like DTML variables (e.g. <dtml-var x>). If there are other variables with the same name, you could use something like: <dtml-call "REQUEST['x']"> or even <dtml-call "REQUEST.form['x']"> > Also can I construct a string and then evaluate it? ie > > varname="therealvar" + "name" > > <some sort of eval> varname You have restricted evaluation capabilities: <dtml-var "expression"> e.g. <dtml-var "x+y"> computes "x + y" <dtml-var "_[name]"> renders the DTML var whose name is given by the variable "name". <dtml-var "REQUEST[name]"> look up the REQUEST variable whose name is given by "name". You should read the DTML User Guide (--> zope.org->Documentation) to learn more. Dieter

Re: [Zope] Connect String for mysql with SQLRELAY
by Roman Milner 22 Jun '00

22 Jun '00

You will need to have a sqlrelay server running somewhere that is connected to your mysql database. A given sqlrelay server running on a given port will only be connected to one database - so the informaiton below is all that is needed by the sqlrelay adapter. The sqlrelay xml config file (usually /usr/local/firstworks/etc/sqlrelay.conf) is where you will configure what database you want to connect to and what the mysql auth info is. ^Roman >>>>> "HK" == Harald Koschinski <Harald(a)koschinski.com> writes: HK> Hallo, does anybody know how to connect to a mysql database HK> with SQLRELAY (the brand new adapter?) The form-help says: HK> The connection string used for Z SQLRleay Database Connections HK> are as follows: HK> hostname portnumber username password HK> but that�s not enough - where is the Database connecting to.

Is your NT version 4.0 SP6? If not, what version is your NT server / SP ? I'm looking for the explanation for that problem, and I think it is SP6 fault. You might help me to nail down the problem > When I go to the user folder the users' names (with the > exception of the administrator user) are not listed in the canonical form. > I wonder if that is the problem? Local users are not listed in the cannonical form. the administrator user is special and is always listed in cannonical form. but this is just presentation. the logic is the same. > There is no way to add new users except through the nt security module. > Must I input new users in the nt security module with user names > like "DOMAIN\userid"? you add users the normal way, with nt user manager. jcNTUserFolder hooks into the nt security module to get users. That way, you can get all the users you have defined under NT without the need to create them again under Zope. regards, jephte clain minf7(a)educ.univ-reunion.fr

Newspaper site
by Wesley Anderson 22 Jun '00

22 Jun '00

Hi all, I'm just wondering if there are any newspaper/magazine sites out there that are using ZOPE for content management and subscriber management. I wouldn't think it would be suitable, but what do you think of using Squishdot for this purpose? Also, is there a list of "powered by" sites on zope.org? I'm doing a site that has both public and private content - hence the need for subscriber-based access. Thanks much Wesley

dtml-tree frustration
by Pete Black 22 Jun '00

22 Jun '00

Hi there, i have a bit of a problem with the dtml-tree tag. I have a folder structure like this (excuse bad ASCII art) ---root ---Main_Sections ---Software ---Folder1 ---item 1 ---item 2 ---Folder2 ---Folder3 ---Hardware ---Folder1 ---Folder2 ---Folder3 ---TMLDiscussion ---images ---Phonelist Now, i want to have dtml-trees built for each section (Software, Hardware etc.) and have them display in the index_html method of those folders. i.e. in the index_html method of 'Software', i want a tree that looks like this: +Folder1 +item 1 +item 2 +Folder2 +Folder3 When i put this code into the index_html method of the software folder: <dtml-tree> <dtml-var id> </dtml-tree> I get nothing. No output, no errors, absolutely friggin nothing. When i put identical code into the index_html method of the Main_Sections folder, i get exactly what i would expect to see, i.e. +Software +Folder1 +item1 +item2 +Folder2 +Folder3 +Hardware +Folder1 +Folder2 +Folder3 What is going on here? Surely this *should* work!? Thanks for any help -Pete

Big folders
by Jimmie Houchin 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

I've been studying SQL this week because I've been thinking that I'll probably have to use a RDBMS to develop my site. Ideally and philosophically I like ZODB. Mountable ZODBs give me much of what I need with the possible exception of a big folder problems. My databases will have millions of objects in what would/will be single table/folders. From what I understand ZODB doesn't currently do big folders well. So I guess my question is, should I continue with the SQL and the RDBMS or is there a solution that I don't know about or understand with ZODB? My apologies if this covered somewhere. Jimmie Houchin

problems using sendmail-tag
by Philipp Dunkel 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

Hi everybody. I have a form that calls a sendmail tag to send user-feedback to a specific email-adress. When I try to send mail I always get the error: Recieved error code 553 from SMTP: 553 ... Domain name required I know that this error occurs if the user is not allowed to send mail from that host. The strange thing is that my zope runs under user 'zope'. But if I telnet to port 25 (sendmail) as user 'zope' I can send mail?? Any Ideas?
