adding XML documents programatically
by Ed Colmar 18 Jan '00

18 Jan '00

I know there is a DTML command to create a folder (or other objects without using the mangaement interface... For example, I pulled this off the mailinglist archive: <dtml-call "manage_addFolder('aFolderName', REQUEST=_.None)"> What I am looking for is how to add an XML document in a similar fashion. I actually want to call this from within python, but I imagine the syntax will be similar. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Zserver logs
by Graham Chiu 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Is it possible to configure Zserver to produce logs with domains rather than just IP addresses? Also, it would be nice to have the date/time being local rather than GMT or whatever appears in the log. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin

ZClass Property Sheet Question
by James W. Howe 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

I'm trying to define some properties for a ZClass that I'm writing. I want to create a property which can be one of several values. I click on my ZClass and select the Property Sheets tab. I then select the item which contains the properties which I want to edit. I'm then presented with the page which lets me add or delete properties. I enter a new property name, select "selection" as the type and then I'm not sure what to do next. The text of the page seems to indicate that I need a property or method which returns a list of strings, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this. Can someone explain to a newbie how to initially populate a selection property? Thanks. James W.

Re: [Zope] ZClass Confusion over object id

Hi Brian, This sounds like the DTML ZClass ID bug. Take a look at this doc: <http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ZClassIDBug> HTH.

Re: Arguments to DTML methods

Hi Michel, My apologies if you've read this already in the zope mailing list but I was hoping for a response from you (maybe I shudda cc'ed you on the original posting?) so I'm forwarding to you a posting I made earlier to the list... michel pelletier <michel(a)digicool.com> wrote: <snip> > You don't need to fake it, because all DTML objects _can_ be passed > arguments. > > <dtml-var "aMethod(aMappingObject, aClient, arg1, arg2...)"> > > 'aMappingObject' is a mapping containing the current 'namespace', or the > namespace you want this method to use.

I've ALWAYS thought it was: <dtml-var "aMethod(_.None,_, uncle='bob')"> Note the variables, they are very important :) IIRC, I'm pretty sure I got this from either you (Michel) or Kevin Dangoor in this mailing list a long while back. Maybe its time somebody put this more PROMINENTLY in the docs, cuz it sure gets asked a lot, and I think there should be one "official" way of doing this ;^). Regards, Butch PS. -- see http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/21150.html? for a recent posting on this very same subject. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ZRTChat: Logged in users indicator
by Brendon Grunewald (70South) 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

I would like to put an image or different text at several places in the site when ever there is at least one person logged into the ZRTChat chatroom. i.e. a light on the front page to indicate that there is a chat session presently underway in the chatroom. Question: How can I accomplish the following algorithm, <If logged in users exist> display image or text a <else> display image or text b <fi> Basically I need to know how I can access a variable or other data type that will tell me whether there is anyone logged on when the page in question is requested. If no such variable exists, is there some other way of accomplishing this! Thanks Brendon -- Brendon Grunewald http://www.70south.com mailto:brendon@70south.com ---

Getting result object from ZCatalog
by James W. Howe 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

I have just started experimenting with ZCatalog and I have a question. I know from reading various things that if I use something like this: Catalog(meta_type='Foo') I will get a collection of objects which lets me access information contained in the Catalog about objects with the meta_type of 'Foo'. I know that the results are not the actual objects themselves. I also know that I can get the path to the actual item by using getpath(data_record_id_). However, what I would like to be able to do is actually get to the real object so that I can get properties or evaluate methods which exist for the object. I don't want to include the additional information in my ZCatalog. I tried using something like this: <dtml-with "Catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)"> <dtml-var SomeUnCatalogedProperty> </dtml-with> but when I evaluate the method I get a KeyError. Is there some way to use a ZCatalog to get to the actual instance of the object which was cataloged? Thanks. James W.

SQL7 connector?

-----Original Message----- From: Loren Stafford [mailto:lstafford@icompression.com] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2000 10:31 To: ozric Subject: RE: [Zope] SQL7 connector? One possibility you might consider is to run a secondary copy of Zope on the NT server where it can use the win32 ODBC adapter.
