I've ALWAYS thought it was: <dtm-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 ;^).

SQL7 connector?
by ozric 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Does anyone know if and/or how to connect to a MS SQL7 database? I am still trying to make my Dept see the light and let me set up a production server using Zope and Linux. The biggest problem is that we and currently moving from Sybase on HPUX to SQL7 on NT (don't say it.. please). I need to reassure them that Zope will be able to get to the SQL7 server now or sometime soon. I am going to use MySQL as the demo but they are just going to say "what about the SQL7 stuff". Any help or advice would be splendid. -- "...I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.

Acquisition on dynamically created objects
by Sascha Matzke 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Hello, I have a class in my zope hierachy which implements an __getitem__ method and return objects which are created on the fly (or taken from a volatile (_v_) dictonary). What do I have to do if I want those objects to take part in the acquisition machinery.

Problem Packing Zope Database
by Shaw, Mark 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Oh Nooo!! I am in the process of creating a Zope based web site. I just now encountered a problem where if I "Pack" my database from "Database Management at /Control_Panel / Database", I cannot restart the database. The error message that I receive is as follows: I can restore a relatively recent copy of the DB and restart it, but as soon as I pack it, it gets hosed again. I guess that's the last time I pack my database without first backing it up. But who wants a db that they can't pack. Bummer!!!! Do I start over with Zope again or do I change my server engine???? This was going so well :-( Running Zope-2.1.2 on RedHat 6.1. ________________________________________ [root@www5 Zope-2.1.2-linux2-x86]# ./stop [root@www5 Zope-2.1.2-linux2-x86]# ./start [root@www5 Zope-2.1.2-linux2-x86]# Traceback (innermost last): File "/opt/zope/Zope-2.1.2-linux2-x86/z2.py", line 436, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ?

SiteAccess guidelines
by Alexander Limi 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Zopistas, I'm trying to use SiteAccess to do some redirection on our site. The main idea is this: All folders that do not exist should be redirected to another folder, where they might or might not exist. The way I've tried to implement this is as follows: All calls to URLs except some selected few (more on this later) are redirected to my "artists" folder. Eg: http://mp3.no/bandname is redirected to http://mp3.no/artists/bandname. The SiteAccess rewrite rule looks like this: <dtml-unless "REQUEST.path and REQUEST.path[0][:6]=='manage'"> <dtml-unless "REQUEST.path and REQUEST.path[0]=='players'"> <dtml-unless "REQUEST.path and REQUEST.path[0]=='artists'"> [actual rewrite code] This should except the folders [root]/artists, [root]/players and the manage console. But I would like to have the best way of redirecting everything, except the root of the site and some subdirectories that I list. The above solution is wildly inelegant :) In addition, my crappy piece of redirect also redirects root, which it shouldn't do. To exemplify some more: http://mp3.no should point to root http://mp3.no/artists should point to /artists/index_html http://mp3.no/players should point to /players/index_html http://mp3.no/bandname should point to /artists/bandname/index_html http://mp3.no/anything should point to /artists/anything etc... Evan, do you hear my call of distress? :) Regards, Alexander Limi http://mp3.no

SiteAccess, ZZClass, and Set Access Rule
by J C Lawrence 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

I've installed SiteAccess 2.0, and am attempting to set an access rule for a ZClass that I'm defining. The problem is that everytime I attempt to define one of my DTML methods as an access rule it returns (eg): "ProcessURL" is not the Id of a method of this object If however I go and create a "real" folder, not a ZCLass, and put the same ProcessURL DTML method in as an access rule, it works fine. Is it not possible to define an access rule for a ZClass? FWIW the problem I'm attempting to solve is to have an URL. sauy: http://site/X/ and to then have all the cruft after the X be pre-processed as the seeds of an SQL query, so that for instance: http://site/X/Q/R/S would go and dig up some set of nested SQL queries based on Q, R, and S and then throw them at the index_html in X. SiteAccess seemed the way to do this... -- 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 |=--

calling other methods?
by James Punteney 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Hello, I have a page that inserts another page using dtml-var. The page that is being inserted is up a couple of directories and then down a directory. I am referencing it as: <dtml-var "cds.clients.comboActive"> The problem is that with the quotes it does not interpret the dtml statements in "comboActive" (it changes the <> to < >). If I do not use the quotes (<dtml-var cds.clients.comboActive> or <dtml-var /cds/clients/comboActive>) it comes up with this error: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: /cds/clients/comboActive Troubleshooting Suggestions This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or variable /cds/clients/comboActive. How can I get Zope to include the page, and execute the dtml statements? Thanks for the Help, --James Punteney

Sophisticated Editing of Zope Objects
by schenck 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

I am new to using Zope. It looks very interesting, but one thing that appears to be a weakness is the way you edit DTML Documents and Methods (and other objects too for that matter) by using a simple text field in an HTML browser. For complex objects this looks like a serious problem. Other than exporting the object, editing it in a more sophisticated browser and importing it again, are there better solutions?
