strange "in" behavior
by CHUNG-SHU YANG 05 Oct '99

05 Oct '99

Hi all, I have an "in" code fragment like this:  ....  Now "result" contains 6 rows: If ROWS >=4, I always get all 6 rows on a single page. If ROWS<=3, I get correct number of rows on the first page. However, suppose ROWS=2, I click "Next 2 results" and the second page gives me 4. Any idea? I'm using ZOPE2.0.1 and ZODBCDA3.1b2 on Win98 TIA CS

There isn't any difference, the internal representation after parsing is the same. The new <dtml-command></dtml-command> syntax was devised to make it more usable in HTML editors like Homesite, that allow you to define new tags, including dialog boxes for all the tag's options. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

The quick solution is to delete your catalogs and create new ones. The real solution is for me to impliment a __setstate__ method that invisibly converts old catalogs to new catalogs. This will be done before the next alpha release. Until then, remember, CVS is not for the timid. -Michel > > > > ------------------------------------------------ > Geir B Hansen > geirh(a)funcom.com > Web-designer / Graphic artist > Funcom Oslo > ------------------------------------------------ > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (Related lists - please, no cross posts or HTML encoding! > > To receive general Zope announcements, see: > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > > For developer-specific issues, zope-dev(a)zope.org - > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Hi! I have read the DTML docs and I couldn't find the pros and cons of each. Why diferent syntax for the same? I mean,  makes it usable for HTML editor like HoTMetaL since it's a "comment" tag :-) Is there any "underwater" difference between the two syntax that I didn't saw? TIA /B Bruno

DTML var and performance
by Oscar Picasso 05 Oct '99

05 Oct '99

Hi, I would like to translate some products (like Squishdot) in other langages (french, spanish...). I planned to replace all the hard coded texte in DTML methods and documents by reference to properties or attributes of some objects. The question is: Will I lost in term of perfomance if replace each word or phrase in all the dtml methods or documents by a dtml var tag? Same question if I use a lot of cascading style sheets in order to make the products even more customizable. Thanks. *************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ***************************

authentication via userdb or user folder
by kedai 05 Oct '99

05 Oct '99

hi, situation: i'm trying to set up a site with two distinct users - anonymous and member - just like the zope org. problem: with user db - it can only be one level off root dir (e.g. Register). authentication is ok. the only thing is i get AUTHENTICATED_USER as anonymous user on other folders except the user db folder. i guess i need to acquire to the root dir. how could i approach that? removing the default user folder at root and moving the user db to root didnt help much. it locks off users. with user folder - i can't figure out how to authenticate thru a form. what do i need to compare? if only i can have a peek at what happen when i log in at the zope site.. i did look at logged_in.html - but can't see where the authentication takes place. what to call, etc. sorry if this is too simple. i searched thru the archive, but no relevant answers to my Q. i did came accross Michel's point about membership. is it available now? tia

SMTP Success, sort of . . .
by Jerry.Spicklemire＠IFLYATA.COM 05 Oct '99

05 Oct '99

Hi Zope fans, For those of you equally stymied by a mailhost object that refuses to work, I finally got that picky little fellow functioning. There were two potential problems, both of which existed in my example. Remember the error message was: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: SMTP Error Error Value: Received error code 503 from SMTP: 503 Need RCPT (recipient) First, there can be no spaces before the "To:" in the recipient line. This most likely applies to other lines, such as From:, but I'm way too toasted to spend any more time on it. Of course, since I copied and pasted my template code directly from the Zope Documentation into my DTML method, I "knew" that it had to be "correct". What I didn't know was that the spaces that I copied were added for cosmetic effect in the context of an on-line document. Live and learn. Second, the mailhost line in the dtml "action" method must be followed immediately by the recipient information. An extra line feed will also cause smtp to fail. I honestly have no clue when or how that extra line feed crept in , but I can tell you with certainty that I was trying everything I could think of to get this sucker working, including lot's of stuff that made no sense whatever, and in an infinite range of combinations. Sadly, my instincts were correct. It was something totally dumb that was so "obvious" that it never occurred to the cognoscenti to mention it. These are the kinds of things that make anyone who knows smtp to say, "duh!", and anyone who is trying to duplicate text examples of a "working" system from "documentation" to wonder, "Why couldn't they just say that!". Having claimed success, it is in fact conditional. I have received mail sent from inside our firewall, out to an InterNet smtp host, which in turn was forwarded (back) to my internal E-Mail. However, mail from inside to inside seems to vanish. So, in fact it still doesn't really work, for our purposes. It would have been nice if I had stumbled upon this about 1000 iterations ago, and a month or two back, but the damage to Zope's reputation around here has already been done. It will be a lot harder to revive it from here on. Keep on keepin' on, Jerry Spicklemire
