How to catch URL in DTMLDocuments/Methods
by Ian Sparks 07 Jun '00

07 Jun '00

Hi, As a Zope newbie I'm still not entirely sure about how to capture the URL as Zope traverses the tree. For instance, my site called with : mysite.com/members/ian/preferences/10 "members" is a DTMLMethod or Document. What I want to do is trap the URL once it has entered "members". So inside "members" I want to do things like : 1. Get the next part of the url ("ian") and run an SQLMethod using this as a parameter (calling SQLMethods I understand). 2. Get the part after that, "preferences" and pull in my "preferences" DTML page from /templates/preferences, possibly passing it the next part of the url "10" as a parameter to that DTML page. The conceptual problem I have is that DTMLMethods/Documents don't have a parameters tag like SQLMethods do, so I don't see how I can "trap" parts of the URL like SQLMethods do and use them internally in my Method/Document. I know I keep asking this type of question, please bear with me 'till I get it! - Ian Sparks.

You both had the same problem I have now: make Oracle 8i (in my case, Oracle 8.1.6) work with Zope. DCOracle is working well (Makefile attached to this message) but ZOracle isn't running yet. We are posting e-mails about it on the list for a while and nobody answered, so I must think that nobody on Zope universe is using Oracle 8i (neither NT nor Linux Oracle 8i client). There isn't any detailed documentation about it. The ZOracle installation instructions are simple but, in my opinion, incomplete. To solve this situation, I'm making a call to everybody that uses or wants to use Zope with Oracle 8i. My goal is finally document the installation process and make it work properly. Please contact me ASAP. Regards, Alexandre A. Drummond Barroso.

Newbie Question, I wish to use use the date of a database file in my dynamic html code. For example, this database was last updated on 06/06/2000. I suppose that there must be a dynamic html tag that zope uses. What could it be? I looked at all the documentation and have yet to discover it. <DTML-ZOPE-FILE-DATE> Any help is apprechiated.

Look at dtml-let tag. It is what are you looking for.

Searching Catalog for Permissions/Roles
by Jason Spisak 07 Jun '00

07 Jun '00

Zopists, Does anyone know if it's possible to create a search in the ZCatalog based on permission or role. Such as: Search of the things from the ZCatalog where the current user has the 'View' permission for the text 'smith'. I love to push the envelope. :) -- Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com

News tickers
by Oleg Broytmann 07 Jun '00

07 Jun '00

Hello! I'm looking for News Products (yes, I know KM News :). I need a news ticker with the followin features: -- rubrics in news item - one item can belong to few rubrics (it is news item about both Zope and Python, e.g) -- one customizeable interface for entering news items in different rubrics -- few different customizeable interfaces for viewing every rubric -- SQL storage (SQL seems much more natural storage for news items than ZODB) -- export to RDF/RSS I am not in hurry, I'll write such Product myself if I couldn't find one ready. Also I'm looking a Product to import RDF/RSS files - I rememeber seeing it somewhere. Oleg.

Help: Weird KeyError with 2.2.0a1
by Pete Kazmier 07 Jun '00

07 Jun '00

Hi, I was playing around with 2.2.0a1 and I've stumbled upon a corrupted database I think. I'm new so please bare with me. I was hoping someone could help me recover. Everytime I start Zope, I get the following error: 2000-06-06T21:20:50 ERROR(200) ZODB Couldn't load state for '\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\006' Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 421, in setstate File /home/zope/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 584, in load (Object: /home/zope/var/Data.fs) File /home/zope/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 560, in _load (Object: /home/zope/var/Data.fs) KeyError: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/zope/z2.py", line 547, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ?

Right before this problem occurred, I had packed my database, but things were working ok immediately following that, then a few moments later, I kept getting errors, so I stopped the Zope processes and restarted. Could someone please point me in the right direction? I wasn't sure if I was supposed to post this to the dev list since I'm using an alpha, but I'm hoping those people read this too.
