DTML syntax
by Tim Wilson 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

Hi everyone, I can't find the answer to this anywhere. I've added a file object to my ZODB. The file is a PDF file that I'd like to make available for download. A couple questions: 1. How do the options of storing these PDFs in the ZODB compare to keeping them separately where people can use my ftp server to get them? I think there will initially be < 20MB of files. 2. What DTML syntax would I use to create a link to this PDF file so it can be downloaded? I've tried some different things, but none work. Thanks. -Tim BTW, if some of you other newbies (or cagey veterans for that matter) would like to see an example of a pretty basic site that's built with Zope, feel free to have a look at mine. It's at http://206.131.108.122:8080/atlas/ This is very much a work in process. The only section that is approaching completion is "Curriculum." Let me know if you have suggestions or ideas. I'd love to hear them. -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.

I think getitem() somehow cannot handle the object path. I didn't even find the place in the source where getitem() is defined The problem is that my application relies on this. I can't proceed... :-( thanks so far, Heiko -- Heiko Stoermer MIG Augsburg

Formatting columns of SQL result
by Christian Lindig 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

I'm looking for a way to format *columns* from a SQL query differently. Sorry if this is a FAQ - but I did not find it neither in the SQL nor in the DTML documentation. The standard way of turning the result of a SQL query into a table is something like this:  <tr>  <td></td>  </tr>  Especially all <td>'s are formatted equally. I'm looking for something like this (which is illegal in Zope):  <tr> <td color="white"></td> <td color="black"></td> </tr>  The code above assumes that the result has at least two columns and formats them differently. Any clues? -- Christian -- Christian Lindig Gaertner Datensysteme GbR, Braunschweig, Germany lindig(a)gaertner.de http://www.gaertner.de/~lindig phone: +49-531 233 55 55 fax: +49-531 233 55 56

How to exclude Confera messages?
by Loren Stafford 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

Based on code others have suggested on this list, I've implemented a "breadcrumbs" navigation stack method. The code is below. It works well unless I navigate into a Confera message object, where it fails with the Traceback included below. I don't understand why it fails, but that's OK. I don't really need for it to put Confera messages on the breadcrumbs stack. What I would like to know is: How can I detect and exclude a Confera message? Can anyone help me out? -- Thanks -- Loren        <a href="/">Home</a>    >   > <a href=""></a>     Sorry, an error occurred.

Zope 2.0.0b5 bug?
by Andreas Kostyrka 25 Aug '99

25 Aug '99

Hi! I've just discovered the following curious thing: t1: ... <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('test:float',1.0)"> <A HREF="t2">Go here</A> ... t2: <dtml-if test> test found. <dtml-else> test not found. </dtml-if> <dtml-if "_.has_key('test:float')"> test:float found. </dtml-if> Results of t2: test not found. test:float found. Well, I'm just wondering why ZPublisher is not munging cookies too? Is this intention? Is this a bug?
