The call to has_key is superfluous and the update call has to creates a dictionary which then gets thrown away. All you need to do is: def uniq2(items): d = {} for item in items: d[item]=1 return d.keys() This saves creating a dictionary, and having to hash the key twice for every item.

Please Help!

Ive created a folder that has 3 documents: -------------------------------------------------------- story_html (a dtml document) Which has a <dtml-var story> that calls a property assigned to story_html The property, obviously is named "story". ------------------------------------------------------- storyform ( dtml method) <form action="storybuilder" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table width=100% cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 border=0> <tr> <td align=left valign="top"> <b>Story id</b><br> <input type="text" name="new_id" size="25"> <hr size=1> <b>New Story Name</b><br> <input type="text" name="new_story" size="25"> <hr size=1> <tr> <td align=center> <input type="submit" value="create story"><br><br> </td> </tr> </table> </form> ------------------------------------------------------------- storybuilder (a dtml method) <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-with "manage_clone(story_html,REQUEST['new_id'],REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(title=REQUEST['new_id'], story=REQUEST['new_story'], )"> </dtml-with> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('manage_main?update_menu=1')"> Congratulations! <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ---------------------------------------------------------------- My problem is this: I am a Manager of the site with full permissions, yet when I attempt to use the storyform to clone the story_html document and add the "New Story" text into the new document's properties I get a message that says: "You are not authorized to access manage_changeProperties" Can anyone please help me with this problem, I have been struggling for days with this and have absolutely no idea what can be causing the problem.

SybaseDAv2 speed slow?
by Hung Jung Lu 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Hi, My SybaseDAv2 connection seems awfully slow. Does anyone else have the same problem? A SQL request now takes about 0.3 seconds to complete... this is especially strange given that the Sybase database is on the same machine as Zope. I am using Linux. Is there any trick to speed up the database connection? I suspect the slow speed is due to poor tcp/ip connection... (despite that it is within the same machine!) regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Using lists in DTML
by Ken Kinder 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Say I have two iterations like this: <ul> <dtml-in ..> <li>.. </dtml-in> <dtml-in ..> <li>.. </dtml-in> </ul> That use two different SQL queries, but return rows from the same table. Logically, to the user, these iterations render just one lists. How would I eliminate duplicates created by querying the same table? One thought is, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it, is to store a list of keys already displayed. Something like this (create a list named foo) <ul> <dtml-in ..> <li>.. (add id to list foo) </dtml-in> <dtml-in ..> (check to see if id is in list foo from last dtml-in) (if id is in list, skip) </dtml-in> </ul> Any ideas on what syntax I would use for that? -- Ken Kinder 303.381.7631

(OT?)Weirdness searching lists.zope.org/pipermail
by addyd＠unk.edu 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Something strange I noticed today. Every search I do in Google that results in a lists.zope.org/pipermail listing... When I click on the link, I don't get the message that is referenced. If I click on Google's "Cached" link, I get the proper message. Example: Google search for "XML RPC Woes" returns 2 results: lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-February/018668.html lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-February/018669.html 018668 brings up a message on: [Zope] sqlsession and XML-RPC Woes is mentioned nowhere on the page (including the Previous or Next messages). 018669 brings up a message on: [Zope] RE: zope/style sheets (same absence of XML-RPC Woes). Clicking on the Google Cached pages gets me the proper (XML-RPC) messages. (Google's Cached pages saves the day again!) Does anyone know if this a Google problem or is it something related to the list (and/or Zope)? Have never seen it happen with Google before and have been using it since early Alpha days.

using the tree-tag with local_fs
by Joachim Werner 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

I'm trying to get a tree-view of the files in a Local File System object. The idea is to get a view similar to the MS Explorer view (or the Zope management interface ...) with the folder structure on the left and the folder contents shown in the main window. My first try to get a tree was: <dtml-tree local branches_expr="fileValues()"> <img src="<dtml-var icon>"><a href="<dtml-var "serverPath()">/<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var id></a> </dtml-tree> ... where "local" is the name of the Local FS. That does produce the first level "tree", but the tree won't expand correctly. At the moment the tree view also doesn't work in the management console. Is that part of the -- really brilliant -- Local FS still too buggy to use or does anyone have a working example for a nice tree view? Joachim.

Changing 'standard_html_header' has no effect
by Sudhir Kumar 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

I am using Zope-2.1.6. I modified standard_html_header thinking that it will let me customize my website but it had no effect at all. I tried everything, stopping zope, getting out of netscape and then restarting. I feel very frustrated. Can some one help. Thanks, -- sudhir sudhir(a)earthling.net

DTML editors
by Larry Albert 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Has anyone developed a parser file for color-coding DTML within Allaire HomeSite? HomeSite works pretty well as a DTML editor even without the color-coding, but a parser sure would be nice. Alternately, are there other editors (Win and Linux) that have similar features (ftp built in neatly, easy for a newbie to use) that can already automatically color-code DTML? (I did try ZopeEDIT, which opens up the possibilities, but the ftp access on HomeSite was much more smooth for my purposes.) Thanks, Larry Albert lda(a)rice.edu
