I think what Evan was pointing to is the pre-2.0 behavior of using hardwired error pages for errors which happen before a context is even entered, like 404 NotFound and 500 ServerError. -Michel

DTML tags arguments used 'by name' and not in an expression can access illegal python names (because it uses getattr). ;) -Michel

Tree/nav has me perplexed
by Bruce Elrick 09 Sep '99

09 Sep '99

Howdy all.. I've read through the DTML Guide section on the tree tag as well as Tad Murphy's How-To, but I still can't get the tree tag to do what I want. I have folders that are meant to be part of the site hierarchy as well as folders that are simply used to clean up the management view of the site. For example, I have an Images folder at the top, but I don't expect users to browse to http://site/Images, so I don't want that folder to appear in the nav tree. If I add a property called 'hidden' to such folders and use the following code: <dtml-tree expr="PARENTS[0]" skip_unauthorized=1 sort=title_or_id branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder', 'Squishdot Site'])" > <dtml-if hidden>  <dtml-else> <a href=""></A> </dtml-if> </dtml-tree> Then the tree is still rendered with the 'hidden' folders but with no text etc. That is, it takes up space in the tree and shows a plus if it has subfolders. What I would like is that such folders (and their subfolders) are not rendered at all. I'm thinking I have to provide some code in place of the objectValues(['Folder', 'Squishdot Site']) that returns the same minus said items that have 'hidden' as a property, but I don't understand whether this 'code' would be a DTML method or an external method, or what 'type' of this it would return (a list?).

Zope BOF at Atlanta Linux Showcase
by Dan York 09 Sep '99

09 Sep '99

Folks, FYI, I thought Zope was important enough to talk about that there ought to be a "Birds of a Feather" session down at the Atlanta Linux Showcase.... so now there is.. here's the confirmation. It's the end of the last day of the show, so I don't know how popular that will be... I don't have a plan for the session... (and actually I might have to be flying out by then...) but I wanted to let people know that there is now a forum at ALS to get together and talk about Zope. If any of you are down there and want to get together then, great... BOF sessions are usually just a time to get together and chat about the topic. If anyone wants to come up with a plan for the session other than just chatting, that's fine with me, too. (If anyone wants to "host" it with me, that's fine, too!) If you don't know about ALS, it's October 12-16 in, you guessed it, Atlanta! More info at: http://www.linuxshowcase.org/ Regards, Dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ALS BOF Confirmation Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 10:50:23 -0400 From: "Daniel S. Cox" <danny(a)ecweb.com> To: dyork(a)linuxcare.com This is a script generated email. Dear Dan York, We currently have you listed as the host for a BOF entitled, "Zope".

I can see changing var to work with relative paths, but not getattr. You can try and convince me otherwise but I think _.getattr should work as much like the python getattr as possible (after all, it *is* the python getattr!). -Michel

Most errors in ZPublisher now hook into standard_error_message (with minor exceptions, for example, if an error is raised while trying to render standard_error_message). -Michel

Thanks alot. Also can anyone tell me why sometimes the standard_error_html is used and sometimes an error page is generated with stack trace but it didn't come from standard_error_html?
