Theoretically, the same should work dandy with just addDTMLDocument, but it doesn't. I'll put that in the collector if it's a bug... You can change the objects content through 'manage_edit'. -Michel

It sound like you don't want to extend Zope by writing a product; you just want to publish your own Python objects on the web Bobo-style. I just wrote a small how-to which explains how to do this with a stock Zope installation: http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/ZPublisher Let me know if this doesn't answer your question completely.

RE: [Zope] Connecting to Ms Access w/ Zope?

Michael, I assume you're running Zope on NT. Install the ZODBC database adapter (http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/ZODBCDA) and follow the directions which come with it...

RE: [Zope] Adding a document using a form
by Mats Myrberg 29 Nov '99

29 Nov '99

Hi, I am a complete Zope newbie so have some patience with me. Mike suggested a way to Lalo to move the code that creates the DTML Document into a DTML Method. I tried this method but I get the below error and stack trace. It seems that the call to self._setObject is failing. What is self in this case? BTW the add form is living in a folder called Products in the root folder. My code for the DTML Method is: <dtml-call "Products.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].addDTMLDocument(id, title)"> It does not seem to matter whether I prepend the Products object on the call string or not. Hopefully I will be able to contribute to the list as I come up to speed. -Mats Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute '_setObject' Traceback (innermost last): File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 179, in publish File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 201, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 165, in publish File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: secureAddMethod) File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: secureAddMethod) File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 145, in __call__ (Object: secureAddMethod) File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: secureAddMethod) File C:\Program Files\ZopeSite1\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 321, in eval (Object: Products.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].addDTMLDocument(id, title)) File <string>, line 0, in ?

[Q] My own editor?
by Bernhard Reiter 29 Nov '99

29 Nov '99

Viva de el Zopistas, new to Zope, I have a few questions which I couldn't find the answer for. How can I export a DTML method file, so that I can add it again? Background: I want to use my own editor, as the webbrowser's text window usually is a real bad editor. (Of course I know, if the world would be more modular, I could just call my editor from the webbrowser. Most people are stuck with Mosaic-derived webbrowser (netscape/IE/Mozilla).) Another question: Would it not be advantagous only recreate a page, when the source objects change and trigger that creation? Most pages could just be cached this way. Or does Zope that already? Please cc: me answers, because I am not on the Zope list (just to huge). Regards, Bernhard -- Research Assistant, Geog Dept UM-Milwaukee, USA.

raise from external method and rollback trans [Q]
by Bruno Mattarollo 29 Nov '99

29 Nov '99

Hello, I am developing an External Method that checks for several parameters to be passed and does a lot of insert/updates in an Oracle database... I have several "checkpoints" and when one fails I want to be able to do a raise and rollback all the open (uncommited) transactions, since the DCOracle is a Level 3 adapter, there is no problem, because the transaction mechanism from Zope is integrated. But know here comes my question: how do I rollback a transaction without doing a raise? I need to do this to server diferent error pages when an error ocurrs... I mean, I have to present for example a form with all the fields the user filled in, or if there was another error, present another form. I do not want to use the standard_html_error ...

Connecting to Ms Access w/ Zope?
by Michael Maier 29 Nov '99

29 Nov '99

This is probably a very basic question: How do I connect to an MS Access DB using Zope? I have created the DSN in the Control Panel --> ODBC. The only place I see to make a DB connection is with the Gadfly thing -- is there something else I need to install? If so, what and how? - Michael Maier
