Argh! Forget my previous question, I found the problem! I was changing the value after I already asked to update the class instance. Tom.

by Kapil V. Thangavelu 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Is there a way to inherit from a ZClass? when i go to the ZClass form there are no selections for ZClasses I've already built. I'd rather not have to code the whole thing as a python product. any solutions?

Using SQL aggregate functions
by John Williams 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

I have been trying to use SQL aggregate functions in SQL Methods to calculate some statistics e.g. something like SELECT id,count(id) from data group by field I am using MySQL, and the query works if entered directly from another client, however Zopes SQL method returns an error. Is this a known problem. Is there a known workaround or patch? -- Dr. John A.R. Williams Photonics Research Group Telecommunications Technology Programme Director Aston University

_.getitem('some.ext') shorthand?
by Stefan Hoffmeister 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Given this working DTML <dtml-with "graphic"> <dtml-var "_.getitem('pythonpowered.gif')"> </dtml-with> - what would be a "shorter", more maintenance-friendly version? I would favour <dtml-var "graphic.pythonpowered"> but the problem is that I definitely must serve the file with a dotted file extension - there is no way around this. Any ideas? Is there perhaps an alternative way around the problem? I don't really care how to achieve the goal in a maintainable, robust manner, but in the end the browser needs to see <IMG SRC="http://somewhere/graphic/pythonpowered.gif"> Thanks! Stefan

CatalogAware Classes
by Tom Deprez 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Hello, If I understand correctly then CatalogAware classes notify the catalog when they are added, or deleted. What happens when they are moved? More q'n : 1. Do classes have an event when they are moved? so that you can rewrite this event to update the class when moved? 2. Can you force a class to update itself? Thanks in advance, Tom.

wget, SiteSummary, scheduling
by alan runyan 28 Feb '00

for some reason if I run yodel.com:8080/Squishdot/emerging/external_rss/freshmeat/importFromURL?url=… from my webbrowser or from lynx (it works) but if I run wget it bombs (see below). * using importFromURL method w/ lynx scheduled via crontab; lynx gets locked up and eat proc time :( * wget i cant get to work at all :( and I dont understand why this is not proper html I'm getting back, is this ZServer or wget braking this? (I think its Zope...) and I believe this broken html may be throwing lynx into freakout mode? I'm probably wrong becasue this is widely accepted way to 'schedule' stuff into zope. thanks, ~alan -----snip Problem Connecting to yodel.com:8080...

Mailing Content into Zope/Squishdot
by Chris Withers 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Hi, I've got a Squishdot site running in Zope. The problem I have is that a lot of the target audience will access the site through dial-up which is nice and expensive here in the UK. It would be really nice if people could write their articles offline and then send them in by email. I was wondering whether anyone has done this with Squishdot, or more generally, whether anyone has anything that takes an email message and turns it into a Zope object. Thanks for any help, Chris

SiteAccess and User Folder
by ethan mindlace fremen 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Zopistas, Right now I'm using site access and the User Folder. If I create a user in the folder with the Site Root, and have an access rule that rewrites requests to the folder, going to http://virtualsite.com/manage and entering the user's info doesn't function. i read a post that suggested that i have to avoid the rewriting. Is this the only solution? Ethan Fremen http://imeme.net

Methods with partial tags...
by Curtis Maloney 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Hello again... I seem to be running into a problem with the 'helpful' parsing of ZOPE. I have a DTML method which contains a <dtml-border> tag, since it will be part of a multi-part e-mail. The problem is, when I try to submit the changes, the parser spits the dummy. The structure will be, basically-> --DTML Document-- fluff here.... <dtml-sendmail blahblahblah> some crap goes here... <dtml-mime yadda yadda> <dtml-in "someMethodHere()"> <dtml-var dtmlMethod> </dtml-in> </dtml-mime> </dtml-sendmail> --DTML Method (dtmlMethod) -- <dtml-border youGetTheIdea> print some information... -- END -- now, from my understanding, the parser is snakey because i am putting in the <dtml-border> tag, which should only occur between a <dtml-mime> and a </dtml-mime> It WILL, but not in it's own method...... any suggestions? Have a better one, Curtis.
