defining counters in zope(newbie)
by Sudhir Kumar 30 May '00

30 May '00

How do I keep track of counter in Zope. For example, if I want to produce the following output: 1. book1 Author1 2. book2 3. book3 4. book4 Author2 5. book5 6. book6 7. book7 Author3 i.e. book1, book2, book3 are by Author1, etc. I need something like the following ....... count = 0 <-------------------------------intended <dtml-in "AuthorList()"> <dtml-let author="sequence-item"> <dtml-in "BookList(author)"> <dtml-if "sequence-index==0"> <dtml-var count> sequence-item <dtml-var author> <dtml-else> <dtml-var count> sequence-item count=count+1 <---------------------- intended </dtml-if> </dtml-in></dtml-let> </dtml-in> I do not know how to set count=0, count=count+1 in dtml. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -- sudhir

GenericUserFolder Bug
by Phil Harris 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hi I've found a bug in GenericUserFolder. Basically if you try and do any restriction by domain then it will fail every time. The problem is that on line 151 of GenericUserFolder.py, it tries to use addr_match and host_match, which I assume was meant o be the same as the one in the standard User.py. The fix is to copy or import the ones from the standard User.py and then all is well with the GUF. For the record, I copied these two lines: addr_match=regex.compile('[0-9\.\*]*').match #TS host_match=regex.compile('[-A-Za-z0-9\.\*]*').match #TS HTH Phil phil.harris(a)zope.co.uk

ZClass questions
by Graham Chiu 30 May '00

30 May '00

I can't recall if my question made it to the list following last week's outage, but here goes again... 1. How does one iterate over values within a property sheet? 2. When adding a selection field to a property sheet, how does one "returns a list of strings from which the selection(s) can be chosen" -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.php Powered by Interbase and Zope

And it works just as nicely on Windoze as it does on *NIX. If you you're interested in using it, I'll send you my vimrc. It's well simple and well-commented. I don't have any special syntax stuff for dtml, but find that the standard html highting works just fine. If you haven't dealt with vi before, you'll find the learing curve a bit steep, but you'll _love_ it when you get the hang of it. And if you come from a GUI world, gvim gives you all the little niceites you're used to, like cut & paste, scroll bars, mouse-based highlighting and that sort of thing. Of couse, once you get used to gvim, you can just hide your mouse under you desk form most of the day.... :)

newbie question: variables
by Brad Moulton 30 May '00

30 May '00

As I am new to both zope and python i am not quite sure how to phrase this question so I'll explain my example hoping this helps. I have created some simple zclasses to add,edit delete customer,jobs, product etc objects I'd like to be able to store and use the "username" captured in a simple login/password DTML method let's say it is a customers name that i capture in the initial login screen. How/where do I store this so that in some other methods i can retrieive its value for use in iteration. i.e. give me all the jobs for this customer only apologies for the lack of clarity. thanks to all who have contributed to zope brad

import folder at other place than root
by peter be 29 May '00

29 May '00

Is it possible and how to change the folder that the Zope interface use for importing zexp files? I "host" friends on my Zope site, but I can't let them have access to my import folder which is in C:\Program\Zopesite\import At the moment my friends have to email me their zexp files, if they for example want to upload something they've been working on locally. Can I not edit the line where the Zope source code says that it expects zexp files from. Ex. From: importfolder = C:\Program\Zopesite\import To: importfolder = D:\otherdomain\or\host\folder Or: importfolder = "http://www.hostfriends.com/zopeimport" Ideas?

Wiki change notification
by Shane Hathaway 29 May '00

29 May '00

Zopistas, I had an idea today that I thought was worth trying out. I added to a few FrontPage's some HTML which allows you to receive notification every time any page in a Wiki changes. It uses the NetMind service. Just go to the Interfaces Wiki and enter your e-mail address at the bottom of the page. Zope-Edu is also one of the wikis with the new feature. Shane

Has anybody had any similar problems, advice, etc. Me, too, I have seen this once: Sparc-Solaris 2.7; Zope 2.1.0 I did not investigate the problem, though. Dieter

ANN: Perl For Zope
by Paul Everitt 29 May '00

29 May '00

Howdy gang. Below is an announcement that we'll start distributing over the next 24 hours. I wanted to let you folks see it first. In summary: Perl Methods. This isn't a press release, which we'll be doing in the run-up to the O'Reilly Open Source conference in July, when the code is closer to being available. ----------- Digital Creations, creators of the Open Source Zope application server, announced today that it is teaming with ActiveState, a leading provider of Internet programming software, to make Perl a scripting language for Zope. Perl is the predominant scripting language for Internet applications and is a key success story for the Open Source software movement. Zope is written in Python, the fastest growing Open Source scripting language. "It is clear that the strength of Zope realizes the future architecture of the Web," says Paul Everitt, CEO of Digital Creations. "This dynamic architecture, and the people working with it, are a fantastic match for scripting languages. Thus it is natural that Digital Creations would team with ActiveState to make Perl a scripting language for Zope." "Zope is a powerful content management system that we use internally," said Dick Hardt, CEO of ActiveState. "By adding the power of Perl to Zope, we will be able to leverage all the existing Perl technology that we have as well as bring the worlds of Python and Perl closer together." Under this agreement, ActiveState will get Python and Perl to run in the same application. More specifically, Perl programmers can code critical pieces of business logic in Zope solutions. "The Perl for Zope project brings the worlds of the two most important open source programming languages together," stated Gisle Aas, Senior Developer, ActiveState. "Python programmers will be able to directly take advantage of the large collection of reusable Perl program modules, like DBI, found on CPAN. Perl programmers will be able to program and customize the Zope web application server using their favorite language." The initial developer release of Perl For Zope will coincide with the O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention in July 2000. For more information on the project, please visit the Perl For Zope project page at http://www.zope.org/Wikis/zope-perl/. Contact Information For Digital Creations, contact Paul Everitt, paul(a)digicool.com, 540.371.6909x102. For ActiveState, contact Lori Pike, lorip(a)activestate.com, 604.713.8433. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909 ----------------------------------------- The Open Source Zope application server http://www.zope.org/ -----------------------------------------
