Methods inside a ZClass (fwd)
by Jason Spisak 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Zopists, Just in case our final thread didn't make it to the list, here is an external method by Tres Seaver to make the ZClass management tabs iterable in DTML. It is untested. Hmm, the class, ZClass, has a manage_options() method, but it has no docstring, and so can't be accessed directly from DTML. An ExternalMethod does the trick, though. Place this function in a *.py file in your $SOFTWARE_HOME/Extensions directory, and voil�: def dumpViews( self ): """ Expose the "Views" of a product/ZClass instance's as a tuple of dictionaries: """ return self.manage_options You could then iterate over the views in DTML: <UL> <dtml-in dumpViews mapping> <LI> <dtml-var label> </dtml-in> </UL> -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com Thanks again Tres, All my best, Jason Spisak

Hi! Happy New Year! I have a property x type int with value 1 The following piece of dtml code: <dtml-var x>, <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(x=2)"> <dtml-var x>, <dtml-var "this().getProperty('x')"> prints 1,1,2 I wonder why it doesn't print 1,2,2 Why is the new property value not reflected in the dtml-var? anyone any idea's?

Session Management
by Timothy Grant 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Hi, I'm going to try asking this again, as maybe last time I was too specific: I'm completely new to session management, so I started investigating some of the tools available, currently I am working with the FSSession Product. I guess my question is how does one effectively "clear" a session. In other words, I have data stored in the session that on occasion I would like to unilaterally throw away so that a new session will start. Also, using the FSSession product, how does one pass session information between folders? -- Stand Fast, tjg.

NOTICE: ZopeEdu status
by RonGines＠connexusinc.com 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Several people have been wondering what happened to the ZopeEdu mail list. >From the pieces that I have gathered, the server hosting the list appears to have lost its SMTP port. The admin is on vacation and the physical server is hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of kilometers away from any of the rest of us. So those of us that have been communicating via private E-Mail have decided to ride out the Y2K storm (this outage is no doubt due to a Y2K bug <smirk-giggle-gag>>. Actually, we have figured that not much is going to get done this weekend and are waiting until early next week to get things up and running again. If for some reason the list can not be brought back up on its existing site, we also have a backup plan. When things are back in order, we'll let you know right here. Thanks for your interest and participation in ZopeEdu.

Using variables in dtml-var fmt attributes
by Nemeth Miklos 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

I have string property named df with the value %Y.%m.%d which is a valid fmt value. I cannot use this variable in fmt attributes: <dtml-var ZopeTime fmt="df"> returns an invalid value. I tried with fmt=df and fmt="_['df']" without any success. Is there any way to use a variable for fmt attributes? NM

Re: [Zope] SQL input form
by Stefan_Harms＠MBnet.MB.CA 02 Jan '00

Steve, would there still be a need for a html form, presented to the user, to be previously filled out, before the "call" method will work? I have just tried to make it a simple as possible, but if I have a step too much, please have a look and tell me: http://groucho.med.yale.edu:8080/lamdi/database/gadfly_demo/manage Maybe somebody will tell me why in the above example it is possible for anonymous to insert data , but when anonymous queries the database, a password is needed? I thought that both are "Database Methods" and would be covered under the security settings with the same item "Use Database Methods"?

Does anyone know where > it is in the source? In the ZClass management view (under Control Panel | Products), use the Views tab to specify the methods which get tabs on an instance's management view. In a Python Product, the Product class declares a class member, manage_options, which is a tuple of dictionaries, each describing a tab.
