On Zope 2.1.4 (Win 32): - I get "1900/02/28" when entering "2/28/00". - I get "2000/02/28" when entering "2/28/2000". No errors. (I tested this on the Properties tab of a DTML Document). The issue you report seems to be corrected in the last Zope subversion. Cheers. Alexandre

TTImage improvement (code)
by Andreas 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

Many thanks to Michael the author of TTImage for pubishing your Product at zope.org. You did a great job ! In order to create TTImage instances within DTML-Documents I made some changes on TTImageClass_add because I got errors due to empty BasicProps and DestinationURL. Would be nice if you could include it in your next release. I´m new with Python and especially with PIL so at the moment it´s not so easy for me to fix some further problems with the background color. When I set the backgroung color to 0xffffff the background color of the result is 0xfcfcfc ... seems to be an color palette problem ... Also I was wondering if it is possible to set the background to transparent ? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my changes :-) regards Andreas Heckel #### TTImageClass_add ##### <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Add TTImageClass</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#000099" VLINK="#555555"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('file','')"> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('text')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('text','Hello')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('font_size')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('font_size',24)"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('font_face')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('font_face','times')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('resolution_x')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('resolution_x',72)"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('resolution_y')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('resolution_y',72)"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('fixed_width')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('fixed_width',0)"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('fixed_height')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('fixed_height',0)"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('background_color')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('background_color','0xffffff')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('foreground_color')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('foreground_color','0x000000')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('font_encoding')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('font_encoding','UNICODE')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('text_encoding')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('text_encoding','LATIN2')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-unless "_.has_key('format')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('format','GIF')"></dtml-unless> <dtml-with "TTImageClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.BasicProps.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call render_text> </dtml-with> <dtml-unless NoRedir> <dtml-if DestinationURL> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(DestinationURL+'/manage_workspace')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL2+'/manage_workspace')"> </dtml-if> </dtml-unless> </body></html>

how much resource?
by - 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

hi all, i'm happy to say that our site (www.emedia.com.my) has been running steadily since feb. and we got our first 1M hits per day yesterday, and zope didn't screeched to a halt. now i'm wondering how much resource <dtml-if> ..<dtml-call>, <dtml-in> affect the sending out of data to users. will a lot of if and ins bog down the server? i wanted to do two different page for the same contents i.e. pages with tables, and without tables. i intend to do as what zope.org does for printable page where we set a variable in the url or maybe set a cookie. to do that, i need to have an if statement in all files looking for that particular variable and render the apropriate header file. will this affect response time? i've looked at chameleon skin but could not grasp the way it works. if anyone got better ideas, better solution, shoot it here. thanks -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

dtml-raise types?
by Stefan Langerman 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

Hi, Can anyone tell me what are the predefined error types for the <dtml-raise type=...> tag, and how to use them? The DTML manual talks about "Unauthorized", and "Redirect", but doesn't give any details. I haven't found how to use "Redirect" so far. Thanks, Stefan.

Re: [Zope] FYI: large files & linux.

The *BSD's, like most of the rest of the world, implement the basic POSIX file APIs which use a signed 32bit long for file offsets in the base ABIs. Ergo. if you are using the equivalent of C's fseek(...SEEK_SET) (from beginning of file), you are explicitly limited in the maximum size files you can process. There are multiple hacked ways to work around this, one of which is to allow offsets from SEEK_CUR to page-flip out into longer files (just never use a SEEK_SET), or to implement another, parallel ABI which takes a 63/64bit offset value. Neither of which however helps the poor application which merely expected standards compliant behaviour from its host and therefore didn't play by the local "special rules", -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Worldpilot/Python help
by Matt Welch 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

I was very comfortable in my cozy PHP/MySQL world, until I saw Worldpilot. I HAD to finally break down and install Zope so I could have this. Needless to say, my python/Zope skills are a little lacking at this point. I could use some help. Everything is installed and working great, except for a couple small problems with Worldpilot. I'll detail the most significant first, and see how we do. When I try to send mail, I get a Zope error with the following traceback:  The problem is obviously (to me anyway) that the call to publish in the def publish_module (response = publish(request, module_name, after_list, debug=debug)) is only getting one argument instead of four. I'm not sure I understand why, as this is a bit beyond my current comprehension of python at the moment. A gentle push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Finding matches between two lists
by ed colmar 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

Hey all! This question went by last month without a reply, so I am going to try it again. I've also gotten a bit closer to the answer on my own. --------- The layout: Most of my code is in a Python Product, but there is still a bunch of dtml used. I have a class called "person" with a string variable called "name", and a class called "event" with a list variable called "eventnames". Now when a addEventForm is filled out, then the viewEventPage is called, I want all the people listed in "eventnames" to have a link to thier home page if they exist. --------- The DTML attempt: I could never get this to work correctly. Becuase it is looking through two lists, the code causes the "eventnames" to be dispayed once for each person listed. <dtml-if eventnames><BR><BR><STRONG>Featuring people :</STRONG> <dtml-with "PARENTS[0]"> <dtml-in personValues> <dtml-if "meta_type == 'SRPersonPost'"> <dtml-in eventnames> <dtml-if "_['sequence-item'] == name"> <A href="<dtml-var site_url>/<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var sequence-item></a>, <dtml-else><dtml-var sequence-item>, </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-if eventnames> --------- The Python attempt: So I tried to change my strategy, and build a method to find the matches, and return the list with the ids (if the person is listed) or a 'None' if they are not listed. I haven't been able to figure out what is going wrong with this. def list_dj_list(self, namelist): """ should return a list of names & IDs from a list of names """ rlist = map(None,self.ids) rlist = filter(lambda x,p=self : p.data[x].validated, rlist) rlist = filter(lambda x,p=self : p.data[x].meta_type == 'SRPersonPost', rlist) rlist = filter(lambda x,p=self : p.data[x].name, rlist) rnames = [] for i in range(len(namelist)): rnamelist = rlist rname = filter(lambda x,p=self,s=namelist[i] : p.data[x].name == s, rnamelist) if len(rnames) == 0: rnames.append('None') elif len(rnames) == 1: rnames.append(rname) else: rnames.append('multiples') return rnames --------- The question: How can this be achieved? I don't have a preferance over dtml or python, but it seems like a python method is the proper way to do it. Thanks for any help! -ed-

Is it at all possible to have this list set reply to? since problems discussed and solved here are logged for others to search, surely it would be best if, by default, replies to these messages came to the list? I know it's just a little thing, but it still bugs me. I know that on other lists to which I subscribe this is done. Anyone else have an opinion on this? -- Have a better one, Curtis. <dtml-var standard_work_disclaimer>
