Whatever it is, you can pass it to an "External Method" (or other function like object). You may need to call it explicitly to get the same effect as you would get when you used it as a DTML variable, as I explained above. -- Dieter

Working with CSS'
by Jason Leach 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

hi, I have a site developed with CSS. We just translated the site to German. The problem I have is with some embedded graphics. For example: #rightcolumn h1 { background: transparent url("i/news_title.jpg") no-repeat top left; height: 38px; width: 180px; margin: 0; padding: 0; } This is the English graphic. If people are in the German side, I need news_title_de.jpg. But I'm not sure how to deal with this without doing a separate CSS file. Thanks, Jason.

ZEO, sockets and Session bug
by Drew Nichols 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi Someone may be able to help. Whenever I have zope running with a socket (as is the default for ZEO) my Sessions become unstable. This has happened on two different servers (2.7.3 standalone with HTTPS over socket and 2.7.3 ZEO/Client combo) The sessions are fine 4 out of 5 requests, but the information just disappears every now and then (refreshing the browser shows it still to be there sometimes, others it is just gone). My ZEO is set up to have sessions (tempstorage) on the ZEO and all works fine (MOST OF THE TIME :-s) Any ideas as it is most annoying!!! Ta

Modifying a Dictionaries in an Extenal Method
by Corporate Email Corp. 06 Jun '05

Zopistas: Does Zope allos an external method to modify a dictionary object that is passed to the external method via the REQUEST object. I am working with the object: items_list = [{'element1':'element1value', 'element2':'element2value','element3': element3value},{....},....] I am getting trouble with with this as any time I try to modify any dictionary from items_list, items_list[n] I do get an error similar to: line 120, in agregaItemDicts def agregaItemLista2(self,item,REQUEST): File "/usr/local/Zope-2.7.4/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py", line 1502, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, key AttributeError: __setitem__ It looks like the dictionary is behaving as if it not were a mutable object (as it is in Python), I have no trouble modifying the list 'items_list' itself. i have read a bit about dictionaries persistence and calling _p_changed=1 bu have not had any luck so far. I am using an external method, not a product. Any ideas would be appreciated.. Best regards.
