ANN: Redirector 1.0
by Alexander Staubo 23 Aug '99

Redirector is an experimental folder product for redirecting object requests. Any request to a subobject (whether it exists or not) in the folder is redirected to a designated target URL. A flexible mechanism for mapping specific URLs is also provided. For example, you might have an URL such as http://oldserver/foo (running Zope, of course) which you've moved to your brand new server http://newserver/bar (Zope not required). Once you have deleted or moved the foo folder or object out of the way, create a Redirector object called foo on the new server, set its Target property to http://newserver/bar, following which requests for http://oldserver/foo will then be redirected to http://newserver/bar. Given this, if a user then requests http://oldserver/foo/fnargh, the request will simply be redirected to http://newserver/bar/fnargh. The Redirector object also supports mapping rules: For example, if the old server had a subobject called "milk", which now exists on the new server under the name of "honey", then you can create a mapping which simply maps the old object to the new object. Mappings support (or rather, require) regular expressions to be used, so you could also map any object starting with the letter M to a specific object, for example. (Support for regular expression groups are planned.) Added bonus feature: If you set the Redirector to "hard mapping" mode, it will fall back to the default target URL if none of the mappings match the requested URL. That means -- if you're like me, converting a dull old Netscape server to a new Zope site with lots of magic fairy dust added -- that you can create mappings for all the old documents that should be redirected to their Zopefied counterpart URLs, but for all the documents that are deprecated on the new server, the redirection will be set to the server's root folder. Thie product is experimental only in the sense that it has not been extensively tested. Please report bugs, problems, or inconsistencies to me. http://www.mop.no/~alex/download/redirector-1.0.tgz -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

If your question is "how to execute ZServer on Linux without having its process being killed when I close the terminal session", the answer is something like: nohup ./start & (For more information, do "man nohup") -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

previous-sequence attribute does not work
by Stephan Richter 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

hi, I have the following problem on my Zope Portal site: I wrote the following code: <dtml-with zdpNews> <ul> <dtml-in "objectValues('News Item')" sort=date reverse start=qs size=5 orphan=2> <li><a href="zdpNews/<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var "date" fmt="%m/%d/%Y"></a> - <dtml-var "title"></li> <dtml-if sequence-end> </ul> <dtml-if previous-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>"><--Newer</a> </dtml-if> <dtml-if next-sequence> <a href="<dtml-var document_id><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>">Older--></a> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> It will create the first site, and when I click on "Older-->" it will go to the next news group., but it will not display the "<--Newer" link. Basically it does not pass the previous-sequence if-test. What is worng? Is it a bug? You can see the problem at: http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/srichter Another weired thing. If I change the size to 4 and the orphan to 1, the "Older-->" link will be broken. It says that slice needs to be an integer. Does anyone has a clue what this could mean? regards, stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer

calling product ZClass add method
by Chris Walter 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me how I can create a ZClass instance via DTML from outside of the product directory? Using the add new item button at the bottom of the page in a folder works fine but I also want to create some instances dynamically in DTML. I can't figure out how to call: manage_addProduct/photoCD/multiRes_add using the <dtml-call X> sequence. multiRes is a ZClass in the photoCD product directory. -Chris walter(a)budoe.bu.edu

closing navigation trees
by Tim Wilson 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Hi everyone, I've implemented a navigation tree that's working quite well now. (Thanks to the good advice of several of you.) The page displays an introductory screen when the page with the tree loads. I'd like to have that page loaded again whenever the user closes all of the branches. Is that possible? -Tim -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.

NewBeZenner Question - recursive methods continued
by Roché Compaan 22 Aug '99

I have a recursive method that renders the site navigation, called from standard_html_header:   <tr><td>  <a href=""></a>  </a>  </td></tr>    In the standard_html_header I declare a new variable:  I then compare  to determine what Folder Image should be rendered and if a hyperlink should be created. I tried to simply display the pageid variable to determine it's value:  , but it produced an error This does not work. What todo? Roché

HTML formatting overlooked
by Tim Wilson 22 Aug '99

22 Aug '99

Hey everyone, I'm trying to take advantage of the Random Content HOWTO (http://www.zope.org:18200/Documentation/How-To/RandomContent) to generate random quotes from famous scientists. I followed the directions carefully, but apparently I screwed up somewhere. Here's what I did. 1. I created a new folder just under / called 'quotes' 2. I filled /quotes with three DTML Methods--each one contained one quote. Here's an example: The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.     Albert Einstein That's the entire contents of the object. 3. In my index_html object (in a sub-folder), I put the following dtml (according to the directions): <td width="20%" rowspan=2><dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(quotes.objectValues())"></td> Unfortunately, Zope renders the contents of the quote literally, replacing, for example, all the < with <. The result can be seen at http://206.131.108.122:8080/atlas/. Why does this happen? -Tim -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.

Wrong usage of 'dtml-with' ?
by Luc Stepniewski 22 Aug '99

22 Aug '99

Well, there's a behaviour I tought I knew its result, but after trying it, it seems I was wrong. I don't understand what's wrong so here is what I have: Let's say I have the following folders: / | -foo (Folder) | - index_html (method) | - bar (Folder) | - aaa (anything) | - bbb (anything) In foo Folder's properties, I define a property named 'foldername', which has 'bar' as content. In index_html, I put the following: ---------------- <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if foldername> <dtml-with foldername> <dtml-in "objectValues()"> <dtml-var id> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ---------------- What I tought this would do, was that, if the 'foldername' property is found, it would display all the objects in the 'foldername' Folder (use of dtml-with) which should have been 'bar', 'aaa' and 'bbb'. But all I get is foo's contents ('index_html' and 'foo'). Can anyone explain me what's wrong ?
