(or at least, the 'id' part works - Folders don't have a 'myProp' property, of course) Unfortunately, it doesn't work for ZClass instances -- for some reason, the id property doesn't get returned in quite the same way from objectValues() or objectItems(), and you end up with a list like this (which you also get if you use <dtml-var "_.str(_['sequence-var-id'])">); <string> -- MyPropValue1 <string> -- MyPropValue2 I have also tried variants of "_.str(id)" and "_.str(id())" -- (the 'sequence-var-' seems to make no difference in this context, except that you then need to use ugly notation ( _['sequence-var-id'])). This result in lists like this; <Python Method object at b8df10> -- MyPropValue1 <Python Method object at b8df10> -- MyPropValue2 But thanks for trying to help, anyway. David

One more question: what about security? At this moment the SessionUID cookie is unencrypted and this is not very safe... or is this cookie tied up to Zope session? It is possible for someone else to tap into another person's session? Do you have any recommendation for enhancing security? regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

images & mess with editors
by Thomas 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hi everyone, Two part question: 1) Is there any way to FTP a large batch of images up at a time (with the default being the file name as when you import only one image and use that default) 2) Has anyone else gotten extremely frustrated when non-Zope people give you html files (written in Frontpage and other WYSIWYG editors) that produce godawful code that usually needs total rehash. Perhaps, this is not directly related to Zope, but I find that the downtime I spend fixing other people's code before I can get back to fun stuff (ie Zope) is quite a lot. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA, Tom

Complex data in Zope objects
by Jacob Gorm Hansen 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hi, how can I save the values of an associative array within my Zope-objects (products). I tried just using the array, but the results are strange; the array is duplicated across all products of the same type, and values are lost upon restart. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. best, Jacob

alternatives to Zserver
by Graham Chiu 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Just wondering what people recommend as an alternative to Zserver on Win32. I had python die in the weekend, and today Zope/Zserver completely locked up, and my ODBC connection disconnects for no apparent reason. So I need something more reliable and I'm getting desperate. What's the best to use with Zope out of IIS, Apache, and Roxen in terms of reliability/ease of use - I have no experience with the latter 2 but have seen them all mentioned here. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin

I had similar problems with I set up a tree over an SQL method. I don't recall exactly how I fixed it, but I can show you what I have: DTML Method: <dtml-let CatID="0"> <dtml-tree id=CatID branches_expr="CatCats(CatParent=CatID, Approved=1)"> <dtml-if "_.int(CurrCat) - _.int(CatID)"> <dtml-var PrintCat> <dtml-else> <<<dtml-var PrintCat>>> </dtml-if> </dtml-tree> </dtml-let> SQL: SELECT * FROM Categories <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-sqltest CatParent type=int> <dtml-and> <dtml-if "_.int(Approved) == 1"> <dtml-sqltest Approved type=int> </dtml-if> <dtml-if "_.int(Approved) == -1"> Approved=0 </dtml-if> </dtml-sqlgroup> ORDER BY CatName PrintCat is a DTML method that displays the data on the current node. CatParent is the table field that points to parents of nodes. CatID is the field that holds the ID of the current node (which may be pointed to by some CatParents). You can ignore all the logic around "Approved" (I have nodes that aren't always visible). The business with CurrCat is an attempt to highligh the currently selected node in the tree. -- 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 |=--

Documentation: distributed load
by Ragnar Beer 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Wow! Lots of postings concerning the documentation! I liked the idea with the news, because threads would already improve the situation quite a lot. I tried the eGroups search but didn't like the interface. I also tried the archive at www.progressive-comp.com but my eyes just won't read that tiny white text on black background without me getting a serious headache. Also the problem with threads is that they're only threads - not topics, not much intelligence behind them. What I love(d) so much about books like the perl-cookbook is that you can look at the table of contents and if you have a basic understanding of what your problem is about you will find the solution almost instantly. I think the secret here is a well organized table of contents (toc). I liked the idea that I posted earlier (of course;). I think it would be great if some people would collect all the postings concerning a certain topic. But that would also mean a lot of work for those poor guys. Here is another idea that I just got on my way to work. It's based on the cookbook table of contents idea. If somebody (say DC) would release a table of contents, i.e. a hierarchical list of topics or catchwords, everyone could use them like this: Let's assume a very simple toc: dtml dtml-var Now if someone wants to post a question concerning dtml-var he can put [topic:dtml-var] somewhere in the text. Everyone receiving this message can copy or transfer it (via filter) into the mailbox "dtml-var". If someone who doesn't know about the toc posts a question it's no problem as long as the ones who answer the question do. The load of categorizing would be distributed very well. If the toc is created thoughtfully it also serves as a mind map to zope. Multiple catchwords per posting possible. Apart from putting together the toc and posting it nothing would have to be done. (Perhaps later a squishdot-lile interface could be built.) Sorry, this has become quite long. What do you think about it? Ragnar

Parents

I have two questions where I just couldn't find the answer to (the documentation-retrieval is killing me): 1. How can a dtml-method know which folder it is in? 2. How can an external method know which folder it is in? I think I read this somewhere - I just can't retrieve it... Ragnar
