SiteAccess will kill me ;-)
by Chris Withers 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

Right, I have a server, zope.nipltd.com and on that server lives a site, in a folder, BayC. Now, through the magic of Apache: www.bay-c.co.uk --> zope.nipltd.com/BayC Anyway, I have an access rule: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('HTTP_HOST')"> <dtml-in virtual_hosts> <dtml-if "_.string.lower(REQUEST['HTTP_HOST'])==_.string.lower(_['sequence-item'])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.setURL(path='/')"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> and I have a property of the BayC folder, virtual_hosts, set to www.bay-c.co.uk. I have a DTML method, debug, in the BayC folder, of my zope server's root: <HTML> <BODY> <a href="&dtml.url-index_html;">index_html</a><BR> <a href="<dtml-var index_html url>">index_html</a><BR> <a href="<dtml-var "this().absolute_url()">">index_html</a><BR> </BODY> </HTML> now, the above rule should mean that when I go to: http://www.bay-c.co.uk/debug I get urls: http://www.bay-c.co.uk/index_html http://www.bay-c.co.uk/index_html http://www.bay-c.co.uk/ or not? however, what I actually get is: http://www.bay-c.co.uk/BayC/index_html http://www.bay-c.co.uk/BayC/index_html http://www.bay-c.co.uk/BayC Grrrr.... To make matters worse/better, the following code (from Squishdot 0.3.2) works exactly the way (I think;) it should with the above access rule: req=self.REQUEST par=req['PARENTS'] url=req['URL1'] mylist = par[:-1] mystr = '' for p in mylist: if p.meta_type == 'Squishdot Site': p = rfind(url,mystr) if p >= 0: urlstr = url[:p] else: raise "Squishdot site_url could not compute site_url" return urlstr else: mystr = '/' + str(p.id) + mystr raise " Squishdot site_url:could not find site" return "" So the /BayC/'s get stripped out of URLS where <dtml-var site_url> is used. However, in Squishdot 0.3.4, which I would like to use, all the above code is replaced with: return self.absolute_url() Which does not work with the above access rule. More Grrrrr..... I am loosing hair and sleep :( Please help me before I am bald. Chris PS: Zope 2.1.4 SiteAccess 1.0.1

Calling an external doument into a dtml var tag
by blueeye 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

Hi, I am trying...since this miserable tuesday morning, to figure out a way to call an external document from another folder into my current document. For example I call a document within my folder as: <dtml-var site_header> where site_header is within the current folder. Now if I need to call another document from another folder... as: <dtml-var external folder/external document> I tried the <dtml-with> statement and it doesn't work at all. Butch, or anyone out there.... could you please...for the love of Gawwwd...help me out here???? http://zope.menswear.com:8080/QuickStart/menswearmmsb1/home _html I am currently designing as well as zoping this site right here in the heart of Atlanta from the 16th floor!!! (phew!) Help me before I jump Blueyez from Atlanta ___________________________________________________ GO Network Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com

ZDiscussions - installing?
by Graham Chiu 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

I'm looking for advice on how to use ZDiscussions. I downloaded the .2 archive, unpacked it into my Zope root directory, and then from the Control Panel, imported ZDiscussions.zexp. I don't see a readme as mentioned on http://www.zope.org/Members/MikeP/ZDiscussions I see that I can now add a Confera topic, and a ZDiscussions topic. If I add a Confera topic, then I can add messages etc. If I add a ZDiscussions topic, it seems to give me an empty directory. What then? -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz

Programatically adding folders
by Chris Withers 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

Hi, I'm wondering what the correct way to create a folder within a folder in a DTML method is. I tried: <dtml-call "folderObject.manage_addFolder(folderNameVar)"> But wasn't convinced by the results. If you use the form in the management interface, the eventual method that gets called is: folderObject/manage_addProduct/OFSP/manage_addFolder Which would suggest I should use something like: <dtml-with "folderObject.manage_addProduct('OFSP')"> <dtml-call "manage_addFolder(folderNameVar)"> </dtml-with> But I haven't been brave enough to try it. What IS the correct way? More importantly, where are/should things like this be documented? Also, how should I find out what the 'preferred' way of doing something is? cheers, Chris

Tree-tag, expand_all, and leaves
by Andrew Williams 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

I am using the <dtml-tree> tag to view show a hierarchical view of some information in a database. I have leaves= pointing to a dtml document which renders a table based upon the expanded tree. All pretty simple, except if I send an expand_all=1, the actual leaves do not show; only the hierarchy. I have checked the archived mail-lists, and have patched my TreeTag.py, but that doesn't work either. Is this still an issue/bug? Thanks for any help...

TinyTables?
by Chris Withers 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

I remember reading somewhere that TinyTables were based on obsolete technology. Is this the case? If so, what should we be using as a replacement? cheers, Chris
