Problems using DateTime in dtml and python. Help...
by dtroy＠ne.mediaone.net 30 Mar '00

I have been building an interface for call reports from a MySQL database on linux slackware 7 using recent source distributions of Zope ,MySql and python. Besides a messy bout with the ZMySQLDA source, which is now not an issue, I've done OK. The problems: 1: I can call the DateTime() function from dtml like this- <dtml-var "_.DateTime(a_later_time) - _.DateTime(an_earlier_time)"> and I get what I need - a duration of time- but in days. Is there a method to change this to minutes and seconds or do I just do my own math ... result * 24 * 60 etc... Whenever I try to use the DateTime objects, eg fmt=DayOfWeek etc, I get invalid attribute errors. 2: I would rather do this work in an External Method, but when I try to use DateTime() in a method I get a Name Error when I try to update the Eternal Method in Zope. So I went to the python command line. >>> from DateTime import * Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError:No module named DateTime Obviously, I have some work to do, but what ? Recompile Python or Zope ? How do I get DateTime to be recognized as a module? I noted that the contents of the Setup file in /Zope/lib/python/DateTime are commented out- # install DateTime.py # install DateTimeZone.py I uncommented them for kicks and reinstalled Zope with the same results. It seems to me I'm missing something OBVIOUS. And help greatly appreciated... David Troy

Security Question (moving folders, manage_changeProperties)
by Scheidt, Tom E 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi All, Ive created a Product on my site that clones a file, then changes its properties and places the new file into whatever folder Im accessing that Product from. It was working fine until I moved a bunch of folders. Basically, In the root folder I had a folder called website, then within that, folders called topstories, sports, weather etc. I copied the topstories, sports, weather folders to the root directory and then deleted the website folder. Now when I go into the sports folder, for instance and try to use the Product I made, I get a message saying "you are not authorized to access manage_changeProperties". I am listed as a Manager of the site though, and seem to have full permission to do anything. I have discussed this with the superuser and we can't figure out why this happening.

"find" tab
by Chien-pin Wang 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi, Since zope was introduced, I've created a handful of objects in the nice application server and make great progress on several projects. Thanks to DC and supports from people in this forum. Lately, these handful of objects keep growing and, from time to time, I need to use find an object ID based on my vague memory. The "find" tab in the zope interface grabbed my attention. But it seems only accept full ID name to be put in the search field. Is there a way to let "find" search by pattern or wild card characters? I've tried *<pattern>%, %<pattern>%, or just <pattern> but with no luck. Please advise and sorry for my bad memory for which only part of the names can be kept for a short while. Chien-pin

Help with dtml-let & dtml-if
by dillera＠isc.upenn.edu 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hello: I'm not getting dtml-let. I use it to create a variable that I can access, correct? Say I want to initialize a counter, and change it from 0 1 each iteration of a loop. This will print out rows of a table with alternating background colors: <dtml-let x=0> </dtml-let> <dtml-in "getElementsByTagName('book')" > <dtml-if x==0> <tr bgcolor="DDEEAC"> <dtml-else> <tr> </dtml-if> write out some html </tr> <dtml-if x==0> <dtml-let x=1> </dtml-let> <dtml-else> <dtml-let x=0> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </table> </dtml-with> The let and if syntax is not good, and I can't read anywhere on how you would accomplish this type of construct. -andy

Re: [Zope-dev] Re: [Zope] Zope in Jpython

>>>>> "MP" == Michel Pelletier <michel(a)digicool.com> writes: MP> For a few seconds, yes. >> Are there reasons why this is a good idea? MP> Few. >> Bad idea? MP> Many. To concur with Michel -- JPython is a wonderful java prototyping environment. I know that people use it to do real work, as well... But, I'm really not sure that it gains you much, given Java's high footprint on anything that is non-Windows/non-Solaris. Also, JPython loses some of the nicer features of python (such as multiple inheritance; at least the more recent functional versions did, last I looked, 6 months ago). This might be problematic, depending on the guts of Zope. If you really want Java, I suggest sticking with Servlets. Or fork the source code... But Digital Creations, please don't reimplement Zope in JPython... best, -tony -- A.J.

ZDGChart question
by david latham 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Ok, I've got the z sql method & odbc working correctly, and from a screen i can input a date ( as text string) and product which then returns a nice and fast! ) graph of dates on the x axis versus avg values on the y. Now from the documentation you can only get back 2 variables to use in the graph but i need to plot about 5 Y values. So i thought about multiple graphs but can't get that to work either. My solution was to create 5 radio buttons asking for what type of plot they want, then based on the button selected fire off the appropriate <action>. I'm new to Zope so i can't seem to get the Conditional statement to work right on the <submit>. Anyone with any experience in any of this please send suggestions. Thanks.

WorldPilot Calendar fixes and (UW) IMAP Options available
by WorldPilot Announce 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Hello WorldPilot Users, There's a new WorldPilot 1.0.3 maintenance release available, that addresses some of the interoperability issues. Check out http://www.worldpilot.org or ftp://demo.worldpilot.com/pub/worldpilot/worldpilot-release-1.0.3.tar Calendar Problems: For everybody who had Timezone troubles with the WorldPilot Calendar, this release should hopefully work for you now. Please send us your positive or negative feedback to mailto:feedback@worldpilot.org so that we know if it now works around the globe :-) UW IMAP users: And for all the (UW-) IMAP users there is now a IMAPHACK.py file located in the WorldPilot Product directory. Here you can set the Base IMAP directory (e.g. Mail or INBOX) and you can choose to only list subscribed folders (but you'll currently need to subscribe them with a seperate client). Thanks for all the tips and suggestions! I hope WorldPilot will soon operate with most of the remaining other IMAP servers, too. We're still working on some of those other tracebacks that got sent in. Cheers, Ryan ___________________________________________________ WorldPilot Get Synched - http://www.worldpilot.org The Open Source Personal Information Manager Server Powered by Python and Zope - http://www.zope.org

Fully qualified URL in FORM ACTION???
by JB 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

For some reason, Zope requires a fully qualified URL (FQURL?) in my FORM ACTION tags. I'm running 2.1.6 (it was the same with 2.1.4), Apache Rewrite (works fine on everything). Can anyone shed some light on this, is it my setup, and if so where should I start looking? TIA jim
