A brief note, FWIW -- Mozilla has now grafted XSL support into their codebase. Believe it or not, someone sent in the patches :^) Thus, client-side XSL might not be an "IE5 but broken"-only arrangement. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony McDonald [mailto:tony.mcdonald@ncl.ac.uk] > Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 3:34 AM > To: Martijn Faassen; Zope List > Subject: Re: [Zope] a funny thing happened today... > > > At 10:38 am +0200 23/8/99, Martijn Faassen wrote: > > > >> I've been watching the XML-L and XML-DEV lists for, oh 18 > months now. > >> There have been announcements of rendering XML into HTML etc on the > >> fly, yes.

Printing out Zope software
by Andrew M. Kuchling 24 Aug '99

24 Aug '99

In our development group, we do collective code reviews to get feedback on software, and ensure that everyone has at least some knowledge of every system. I'd like to do a code review of a system implemented in Zope, and want to print out the contents of a folder in programmer-readable form. Does anyone have a tool to do this? -- A.M. Kuchling http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/ I'm sorry I became abusive just now ... calling you worms... I was just speaking relatively, you understand. -- Dekko, in ZOT! #3

XMLDocument questions
by Jason Jones 24 Aug '99

24 Aug '99

Does anyone have an example of the following working: ------------------------------------------------ "XML attributes are mapped to Zope properties. You can edit these values via the standard Zope property management interface and the changes are reflected in the xml of an element. You can also edit attributes by editing the xml and these changes are reflected in the Zope property interface." ------------------------------------------------ I can't seem to get attributes to map to properties which can then be edited from the properties tab. Also, when I create properties, no changes are reflected in the XML document. Am I misreading the above statements (I took it from the slides example that comes with XMLDocument). If so, could someone clarify what is actually meant by the above? Thanks, Jason Jones jason_j(a)countermedia.org

Hi everyone, Why doesn't this work? I hesitate to ask because I'm sure it's a simple answer. It's a DTML Method in the / folder.

BULK EXPORT TO
by Theodore Patrick 24 Aug '99

24 Aug '99

Ok, I realize that this gets asked all the time but.... What is the best method for exporting HTML out of Zope in an automated manner? We have a project to create 40,000+ pages out of a database. We do not want to support a dynamic server in a live environment, so we want ZOPE to publish all of the pages to the file system dynamically in batch. The database is set-up, the templates in ZOPE are ready, all we need is the method to take an object in ZOPE and export it to a location on the local file system. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Theodore E. Patrick http://www.ishophere.com - Where do you shop?

Basicly, anything in Zope that can be mapped to a URL can be cataloged, so if your ZSQL queries map to URLs then they can be used. You would probably find using plugable brains handy here, as the brain you write can use the CatalogAware class to make your brains catalog themselves. Even better, in Zope 2.1, you will be able to select a ZClass for a plugable brain for both ZSQL methods and Catalogs. This would make a great howto, if you whip up an example. If not, I might have some time in the future to work on it, if i get some resources allocated to it. -Michel > > _______________________________________________ > 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 ) >

Re: [Zope] ZOracleDA/DCOracle problem

Great stuff but ..... But you're not integrated with the transaction manager :-) This would be a MAJOR problem in a real world situation. tpc_begin is the start of a transaction :-) Before the end of the week we will be releasing a Level 3 DA that includes a new release of DCOracle as well, one that fixes a bunch of outstanding bugs, implements better LONG/LONGRAW/LOB support, as well as statement handles, and works all groovy with the Zope. Once we shop Zope2, I'm going to try and focus on getting some documentation for how to write DAs for Zope, and what they have to implement. It probably will also include a little skeleton code that you can use. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com
