DST Zone Date, help needed!
by julio dinis 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hello all, I'm having a hard time with dates since portugal entered DST last March 26. If I use: <dtml-var "REQUEST.set('mydate','2000/03/31 15:00:00.000 GMT')"> manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) I can get from "mydate" the utc hour (14:00) with the fmt="a-la-C %H:%M" and the current GMT DST of Portugal(15:00) with Zope's TimeMinutes(). If I use: <form action="manage_changeProperties"> <input type="text:date" value="2000/03/31 15:00:00.000 GMT" name=mydate> <input type=submit> </form> the fmt format and zope's zopetime() give me the same hour that is the GMT-DST (15:00), i.e, somehow the "text:date" conversion is ignoring the Portuguese GMT-DST and assume, in this example, 15:00 as the UTC. Since nobody is answering I'm going into the source to find where is this conversion. I'll get back with a solution... I hope :-) Thanx, Julio ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Delete properties and objects

How dtml be used to emulate the manage* interface to change and delete properties and DTML documents. The editonly properties howto involved some python code were too complex for me. If I just use the manage method, it will re-direct me to the manage screen which is not good. <form action="

weird behavior
by Tom Deprez 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

I forgot even to mention one thing! Only when Title is empty it is returned by the catalog! Otherwise it's excluded from the catalog result list. Tom. --- Perhaps something very stupid I'm doing, but I've a strange result here. I've a ZClass which has the properties 'Title', 'Issue', 'Comment'. This ZClass automatically reindexes itself in catalog. Now, when I change the contents of Issue, Comment and then search the catalog for the specific ZClasses, I get all the created ZClass instances. However, when I change the contents of the Title and I again search the catalog for these ZClasses, I get all but the changed instance back! However, looking inside the catalog, the ZClass is still there! Is this a naming conflict? Or is it something else? Tom.

Assigning strings using DTML-LET
by Jason Wong 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

I'm trying to assign the string: 1=1 to the variable criteria using this construct: <dtml-let criteria='1=1'> but I can't because Zope complains: invalid parameter: "=1'", for tag <dtml-let criteria='1=1'>, on line 5 of Create_List Some playing around reveals that it doesn't like spaces and the equals sign (=) in the string. Am I correct in thinking that something delimited by single quotes (eg. 'this is a string') is a string? If so why can't I (or how can I) include spaces and the equal sign inside the string. thanks - Jason Wong

scope of DTML-let tag
by Allen Wallis 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hi, Say I want to call a dtml method that requires some extra variable, one way is to set that variable in the REQUEST using REQUEST.set('name', 'value'), and one is able to call the dtml method. Somebody suggested using the DTML-let tag to do the same thing, but I haven't been able to get it to work: <dtml-let variable="some expresion"> <dtml-var dtmlmethodname> </dtml-let> when dtmlmethodname tries to access "variable" with <dtml-var variable>, zope complains that variable does not exist. Is there a way of using the let tag to accomplish this, or is there a different way? Is using the REQUEST object the normal way of "passing" variables to other methods ? thanks Allen

I have a Windows 2000 Professional > running... Windows 2000 professional is the equivalent of NT Workstation. on Windows 2000 server, there is two way of managing the domain: the old way (with pdc/bdc,etc.), and the new way, with active directory. in native mode, pdc/bdc support is disabled and my code rely on it. you may not be concerned by this 'problem' because nt 2000 pro (aka workstation) can't manage a domain. > > > If a subfolder has its own NT user folder, a user, > > > given another role within this subfolder, is forced > > > to authenticate again and this authentication always > > > fails. > > the roles given to the user in the sub-folder *replace* the roles > > defined in higher folders, due to the way user folders work. > > the user in > > the subfolder must have the same role as in higher folders (so he can > > traverse the higher folders), plus any new roles in the subfolder. > This ist what I have done.

So everybody must log in to use the site. bizarre, it should work. are you sure that Benutzers can *view* sub folders? where did you create the administrator role? in the top level folder or in the sub folders? by the way, where do your users authenticate from? from the nt 2k pro box (that is, the users are created *on* this box)? from a different domain (and the domain controller is another machine)? until I can write a better doc, also read in the zope archives the messages from 'Ava' and 'minf7' I'm not at the office right now, so I can't do further tests. but I should be able to reply on monday, at least. by the way, if you want to force all users to log in, you may consider using zope with iis, and let iis do the authentication. this may not be possible with nt 2k *pro* (it doesn't work with nt workstation because IIS requires nt server). see http://www.zope.org/Members/jephte hope this help jephte clain minf(a)educ.univ-reunion.fr note: I'm leaving in 10 mn. if you want to reply, reply right now. if not, see you on monday
