We are thinking about one of two solutions. 1) design a better Splitter interface. 2) document the Splitter interface so that you can create your own. More news will be coming on this soon. -Michel

why use zope?
by - 28 Jan '00

28 Jan '00

hi all, firstly, it's not me asking that question. it's the users. here's the situation.: we have developed a ZClass that caters for the publishing/serving of news items. we already have contents done in quark, pagemaker and other formats. users (editorial) currently cut and paste from the source. when the users saw that they have to cut and paste, they asked why? and they pointed to frontpage, pagemill, etc as a solution. now, we don't want that, but how can we explain the benefit of zope over the others. i have read the zope against cf, vignette thread, but that's too high level for the users to grasp, me think. so, really, what's the benefit of using zope instead of the others; esp for the non-techies. p/s - maybe it's our failure in providing a better solution in exporting contents from window$ apps that cause this question. help, pointers, docs, welcomed. -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

>along with some information about an image. If the user does not specify >an image file, I don't want to add a new ZClass instance which would hold >information about the image. In my add method, I've tried doing something Why not put some JavaScript validation code in the 'calling form' page which sets a hidden form variable (e.g. 'CreateInstance') to true iff the the 'photoFile' field is not empty?

Dreamweaver and zope
by Gilberto Cutrupi 28 Jan '00

28 Jan '00

Hi all, a while ago I saw that Andrew Woolridge (hope the last name is right) was developing an extension for dreamweaver to save files in DTML. This would be obviously handy for those who actually design the pages, while the editors will rely only on the web forms on the zope interface. Does anybody know if he went forward with that project, or if someone else developed it?

permissions question
by Katrin Kirchner 28 Jan '00

28 Jan '00

Hi everybody! Is there anyone who can tell me what the permission 'Change configuration' is for? And what about 'Search ZCatalog'. I created a user who didn't have that permission. But that user still can use the search form and search the catalog. Does anyone know how to create users that can't search a catalog? Thanks in advance Katrin

[ZGotW] Issue #1 (Closed)

The current issue of "Zope Guru of the Week" has closed: =================================================================== Issue #1 -- DTML Subroutines =================================================================== Status: Closed Zen Level: Novice (1/8) Keywords: DTML Submitted by: Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose you have been happily hacking away at your Zope site, and discover that you are reusing a chunk of DTML over and over::  <dtml-in "objectValues( 'FooType' )"> <tr> <td> <a href="&dtml-id;"><dtml-var id></a> </td>  </tr> </dtml-in> Now, you decide to "refactor" the site to follow the "Once and Only Once":http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?OnceAndOnlyOnce dictum of "Extreme Programming":http://www.extremeprogramming.org : i.e., you'd like to make this snippet a reusable "subroutine," so that you could make changes to it in just one place. The intent is to be able to reuse the loop, but be able to vary the meta_type(s) being passed to the loop: in one spot, it would be '"FooType"', but in another, it might be '[ "Folder", "DTML Document" ]' [1]. How do you move this code out into a DTML Method and then replace all the cloned copies with calls to that method? [1] *Please pardon my inverting the single/double quotes here: while not valid DTML, it **is** valid Python, and renders correctly as StructeredText.* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewed by: Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In spite of having to answer the question before I made the point less than muddy, Ross Lazarus righfully pointed out that, for complicated logic, DTML Methods (the "subroutines" of the question) have distinct disadvantages: * convoluted syntax, because DTML isn't really designed for such cases * a small performance hit (compared to External Methods) Jeff Hoffman answered the orignal intent of the question (as revised after feedback from Ross), showing the correct syntax for passing parameters to a DTML Method using keyword arguments:: <dtml-var "table_of_type(this(), _, type_list = ['FooType'])"> This syntax allows 'table_of_type' to iterate over 'type_list' as passed in by the caller:: <dtml-in "objectValues(type_list)"> <li><a href="&dtml-id;">&dtml-id;</a> </dtml-in> Evan Simpson amended Jeff's example for calling such methods as acquired from elsewhere in the tree without having to munge the namespace stack using 'dtml-with' (in his example, calling a method 'table_of_type' acquired from 'lib':: <dtml-var "lib.table_of_type(target, _, type_list='Folder')"> Congratulations and kudos to all three for their answers! -------------------------------------------------------------------
