Re. Zope/SuSE 6.x How-To v0.1 ready for review
by Jerry 30 Jan '00

Maybe I'm thinking of an obsolete version, but isn't SuSE able to use RPM's for package installation? I thought (at one point, anyhow) their default package format was RPM. At any rate, SuSE 6.3 is at the local Best Buys priced around $30.00, with six CD's full of goodies, and a fairly usable manual. You could start with Debian (Corel, Red Hat, your choice) as your base OS, download the Zope RPM, and if the SuSE CDs still use RPM's, grab any additional packages you want off the SuSE CDs. I guess this does sound a bit daunting for newbie, after all. Just a thought. Good luck! Jerry S.

The problem is a question of types. xtype is of type string (probably), and your literal '1' is of type int, so the comparison fails. Try this: <dtml-if "_.int(xtype) == _.int(1)"> -- 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 |=--

Adding Photo programmatically
by Nicholas Piper 30 Jan '00

Has anyone been able to add a Photo object in code ? DTML or Python would be fine; At the moment I can't seem to do it at all :-( I've followed the HOWTO about this, but it still fails. Apparently this should work ; def addAPhoto(self, id, REQUEST=None): """ """ # Get the actual destination object, using the this() # method, to be sure we get it in the right context.. self=self.this() # Create the new instance newob=self.Control_Panel.Products.Photo.Photo(id,'title','') newob.id=id # Set properties based on the contents of the Add form newob.propertysheets.Basic.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST) # Add a new Folder to the new instance #self.manage_addFolder('foobar') # Add the new instance to the target object self._setObject(id, newob) return 'OK!'

Expression Evaluation Problem (Newbee Question)
by Borno Janekovic 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

Hi, I'm not realy new into Zope but suddenly found a strange question. I'm not shure where the problem is: - on a form a user can choose a checkbox and the value is stored into xtype - in the next document I can access the value of xtype with <dtml-var xtype> the correct value is printed out. - but if I do a check like <dtml-if "xtype ==1"> I get no matching. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Borno -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net

ZMySQLDA problem after following HOW TO...
by Robert Geiger 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

I followed the directions in the How-To by alanpog. Everything seemed to go along well. I restarted and checked the control panel only to find a 'broken' installation... Here is the Traceback... Product at /Control_Panel / Products / ZMySQLDA ZMySQLDA Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/pub/Zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 387, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py", line 106, in ? import sys, os, Globals, DA File "/pub/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/DA.py", line 108, in ? from db import DB File "/pub/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py", line 106, in ? import _mysql, regex, sys ImportError: No module named _mysql The How-To was excellent and I thank alan. Thank you in advance for any assistance with this problem. Robert

Bug report #2 (???)
by Jérôme Loisel 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

Hello again, folks! Thank you for the very prompt reply, previously. Everything is fine and dandy now: the ghost of coin_rond_bleu has stopped haunting me. :-) I have another problem now. Restarting Zope seems to be a tad risky. I always get a traceback immediately after hitting the button. Twice out of three tries, the restarting did not work. The first time, Zope was simply dead. I was just starting out, and assumed I had done something wrong. Maybe I did. The second time, Zope re-started, but would not operate properly. Trying to access any page would yield the following results: """ Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. TypeError Sorry, a Zope error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.1.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /home/zope/Zope-2.1.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.1.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /home/zope/Zope-2.1.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 151, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.1.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 285, in traverse TypeError: unbound Python method must be called with Acquirer 1st argument """ Stopping and restarting Zope manually fixed everything.

passing lists in forms
by ed colmar 30 Jan '00

30 Jan '00

How do you destinguish between items in a list when submitting a form? I know to use "name:list" in the form, but when actually entering the data, should it be comma seperated, or return seperated or "['itemone'], ['itemtwo']" or what??? If I want to use say comma seperated items, does there need to be a bit of python to convert the text into a list? -ed-
