Don't know if you track the CVS repository, but I checked in your patch, with a minor modification, it now inserts op=foo even if it's not in the list so you can say: <dtml-sqlvar foo op=">=" type=string> or even: <dtml-sqlvar foo op=bar type=string> and get: foo bar "blah" Anyway, thanks for this, we'd talked about it, but never gotten around to this!

It is essentially done. Packaging issues are all that remain. However, expect us to go quite slowly on this -- we are focusing on hardening what's already there instead of piling new stuff on the heap. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Brisbin [mailto:brisbin@linux.thorco.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 1999 2:40 PM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Zope and FastCGI? > > > Can I run Zope.cgi as a fastcgi server?? > > Thanks! > > Jon Brisbin > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (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 ) >

Generating sequence UID?

Hi, Glad mailman was solid about writing its db, and Thank goodness that the e-mail system is solid too. Thanks KenM!

When run ('view') it prompts for the name, and returns a result that has the title 'id' and the next value. So far so good.

MIME Attachments not readable
by Jason Spisak 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Zopesters, I've got several people who cannot read a mime attatchemtn sent (a variety of ways) out of Zope. And some of the reasons given were. 1. No MIME-Version header. This is not a MIME message. (2. No space after ':' in headers is legal, but many MUA will break.) Is anyone else having a problem with this too? I am trying to send and html file as an attatchment and it comes out with all of the html code in plain text rather than attathcment. I use this code:  From:<> Subject: To:<>     All my best, -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

Linux Binary with Subsite Patch
by Joshua Brauer 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Are there any linux binaries floating around with the subsite patch applied? If I were to go to sources and compile them would I lose anything from my current install? Would I have to reinstall all of the packages or can I just reinstall Zope from sources "around" my existing directory structure? # # # _____________________________________________ Joshua Brauer Box 915 http://www.brauer.org Fort Collins, CO 80522 Fax: (419) 793-4120 _____________________________________________ In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900 _____________________________________________________

Problem with tree and Navigation product revisited
by Carlos Henrique Bauer 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Hi, I'm trying to use the Navigation product in a tree but I got a problem. The file and document are being rendered as folders which contents are the contents of its parent folders. The tree is defined by the following dtml statement: <dtml-tree branches_expr="navigate_filter('private', 'no', ['Folder','File', 'DTML Document'], 1)" sort=title skip_unauthorized=1 > Due to some obscure reason, the call to objectValues method in the navigate_filter function is not returning an empty list for non folder objects. I managed to workaround that problem by adding the code of navigate filter to the ObjectManager class. I add another method with the same name to the class SimpleItem but which returns (). If I don't add that method to SimpleItem I get the behaviour described above. Questions: 1) Is it a feature or a bug of Navigation produtc? 2) There isn't a more elegant way to solve the problem? By the way, I'm using Zope 2.0.1. Best regards, -- Carlos Henrique Bauer
