dtml-in question
by James W. Howe 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

I have a situation where I'm searching a catalog for items which meet a criteria. The results are listed on one or more pages (using the batching feature of dtml-in). What I want to be able to do, but don't know how to do, is get the total count of items found. For example, when the first batch is displayed, I want to display a message which says something like xx results found. 1-10 displayed. How do I get the total number of items found from the search? Thanks. James W. Howe mailto:jwh@allencreek.com Allen Creek Software, Inc. pgpkey: http://ic.net/~jwh/pgpkey.html Ann Arbor, MI 48103

Zope is the geek goddess of Persistence. Her name rhymes with Penelope, the heroic embodiment of Faithfulness and Steadfastness.

Sending HTML Email
by James Punteney 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Hello, I'm wanting to send to HTML Emails from Zope (either dtml-sendmail or external methods). As far as I can tell I could use the "<dtml-mime>" but I would have to read through the HTML file and parse out the images. And then import the images into Zope to get the mime encoding? Is this correct? I've also looked at doing this through external methods (the way I'm leaning right now) using htmllib and mimify. Has anyone else done this? Or if you can point me to some resources for helping me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help, --James

new version of Local File System product
by Jonothan Farr 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

I've posted a new version of the Local File System product, version 0.1.5. This is still a development release. It fixes multiple problems related to permissions in the local file system (as opposed to Zope permissions). Many thanks to Greg Ward for all his help. http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/LocalFS -jfarr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi! I'm a signature virus.

Hmm, let + mutable objects.... To avoid the problem, I'd try:: <dtml-let columns="db_Columns[:]"> which should "clone" the list, instead of merely binding another name to it. Mutable "global" objects (lists, dictionaries, maybe instances?) inside DTML (or PythonMethods) are kind of a gnarly problem.

While that would be fine for images, I was wondering about using this technique to solve my other problem: > 1. At home, URLs are something like localhost:8080/project/index.html > > 2. At work, they are something like zope.nipltd.com/project/index.html > > 3.

I'm sure I read something about a getURL() method somewhere... Anyway, why this causes extension problem is because objects other than images may need to have extensions and may need to be referenced with HREF's in the site. For example, downloadable Powerpoint presentations need to end in .ppt or Windoze will not know how to open them when they're on the file system. Also, I edit all my content pages with Dreamweaver (for PC) and so they need to have .html extensions 'cos while Dreamweaver is very good for editing, it's too stupid to use MIME types to recognise what type a file is... Any ideas? Chris PS: > I also found this; > <dtml-var "yourimage.tag(border=0, alt='', width='', height='')"> Cool :-)
