Fomatting Dates for the UK
by Paul Smith 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hi ZOPE newbie alert: I am trying to get ZOPE to publish dates in UK format. I am fine with getting todays date formatted as required by calling a dtml-var, but the problem is with putting up 'future-static' dates such as the example in the Content Managers Guide, where you want to do something like "This site will go live on..." using 'expected_date' which is a property with type date. This automatically formats 20 June 2000 to 2000/06/20 and I can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas welcome!

A: Howto add Last-modified to the header?

Hi, I wanted to add a Last-modified line to the header.

It even works with a german locale! Thanks Christian -- Dipl.-Ing.

Catalog and CatalogAware questions
by ed colmar 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hi My post went by last month without any suggestions, and I am still looking for some assistance. So, I am rewording my questions. I am trying to grok the Catalog and CatalogAware classes. I don't quite understand how to map variables into it. Say for instance that I have two classes within my base class that contain different variables: * people class contains the variables name, birthday, and djname * event class contains the variables eventname, startdate, and dj_list Now, I want to be able to search for an "eventname", which would not need to look in the people class at all. I also want to be able to search for a dj, which would look in both classes for the variables "djname" and "dj_list", and bring back all the matches. How is it that these definitions are created? I have tried setting up my base class to inherit Catalog, which gave me no errors, but I don't think I initialized it correctly. I tried inheriting CatalogAware, which gave me strange results, but I could see it when I would add a search interface from the management screen. Do I need to create a seperate "catalog" for each class containing the variables for itself? Then the base class is somehow mapped to those classes' Catalogs? My product is mostly python, so dtml examples will not help. Thanks for any pointers! -e-

soft references again
by Jerome Alet 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hi, I've read the soft reference howto as well as the recent thread on this subject, but I can't figure how to do what I want easily: I'm planning to create a web calendar based on the calendar tag, and create a forlder for each year, a folder for each month in the year, and a folder for each day in the month. each day folder will contain events. I want to test in a DTML method if a particular date exists in the current folder, e.g. : - CurrentFolder |- mymethod |- 2000 - |- 05 (May) - |- 15 (15th of May 2000) - |- Event 1 |- Event 2 |- ... |- Event n Say a dtml variable year contain the string "2000", how to test if the current folder has a subfolder whose id is "2000" ? What I've done is: <dtml-try> <dtml-comment>We echo the year's absolute url</dtml-comment> <dtml-var "_.getitem(year).absolute_url()"> <dtml-except KeyError> The year <dtml-var year> doesn't yet exist in our calendar tree </dtml-try> it works but I'm not satisfied with it because it's too complicated IMHO, especially because I'll have to nest 3 <dtml-try> for the year, month and day. I don't want to suppress the tests because I only want to create years/months/days when needed. I've tried lots of combinations of <dtml-if> hasattr(), and etc... but with no success at all. Am I missing something or we miss a hasitem() function ? thanks in advance.

zope: trim space in a select tag
by Vincent Maton 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hello ! Can you help me ? I have a data base with in some fields's value who have 3 spaces between words and I received in the browser on a select tag after a query the value's fields with 1 space between words. In the source of the page, it's good (3 spaces) but on the browser it's not good (1 space). And of course, it's a big problem for the next query who used the field's value. Thank's a lot.

I am using Zope with a billing and invoicing system (both written within Zope). The user fills in a complex dynamic form on the screen and when fnished hits a button that send the data to an external method which in turn send the formatted page to the Linux print spool system which in turn forwards this to the appropiate remote printer which, most of the time are attached to Winndows 9X (yucks!!) PC's I am about to lauch a project to create a fully flexible report writer for Zope applications, kind of a product. Thinking on the design now though... Comments ?
