ZCatalog + Subclassing Woes
by Stephen Pitts 19 Jan '00

19 Jan '00

I'm implementing search functionality on my site using ZCatalog. Right now, the searching and indexing work fine, and I'm trying to make some custom Z-Classes CatalogAware. All of my Z-Classes inherit from a Z-Class called CentralBase, which contains a DTML method called "edit", which is used as the "action" for all of their management edit forms: <dtml-call "propertysheets.Basic.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('editForm')"> To instantly make all of my Z-Classes CatalogAware, I figured that I could just: * recreate CentralBase so that it inherits from CatalogAware (is there a way to modify what Z-Classes a Z-Class subclasses from without recreating it? this is the biggest complaintm that I have with Z-Classes) * modify edit and add "<dtml-call reindex_object>" below the first line * change the add method (called by all of the *addForm methods) to also call "reindex_object" Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. When I recreated the CentralBase class, it screwed up all of my other Z-Classes. The edit method isn't getting acquired correctly. Cannot locate object at: http://localhost:8080/News/SiteUpdates/Welcome/edit Traceback (innermost last): File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 151, in publish File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 334, in traverse File /home/smpitts/Zope-2.1.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py, line 521, in debugError NotFound: (see above) Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Stephen Pitts smpitts(a)midsouth.rr.com webmaster - http://www.mschess.org

RE: [Zope] standard_html_header & standard_html_footer

If, say, a Zope newbie were to delete them without knowing what the consequences were, they would then find that all of their dtml docs/methods generated with the default content would appear broken (and the error message reporting the error would also probably be broken).

Grouping
by Gregor 18 Jan '00

I have a bunch of "link" objects (based on a ZClass) in a folder. Each has a "name", "description", "address", and "keywords" property (the latter is of type "tokens", which sounds good, but I have no idea if that's what it is for, since I have yet to find the docs on those types). I can easily get the links sorted by name, e.g., <dtml-in "objectItems('Link')" sort=name> So how would I get with something like this: Keyword1: Link1 Link3 Link27 Link29 Keyword2: Link4 Link5 Link19 Link27 Note that Link27 has both Keyword1 and Keyword2 in the Keywords property. I could certainly do something like this with an SQL thingy, but I'd just as soon use Zope's built in Object Database. Seems like less of a pain. - Gregor vorlon#iglou.com http://anime.at/gregordyne Anime, Amber, 3d, Mage, Eidolon, Miscellany
