No.. :^) Coupla things... as someone seems to already have pointed out the var tag has the following syntax:  which for file objects renders to (example): <img src="http://localhost/Zope/dc_logo" alt="dc_logo"> whiiich, when substituted makes something invalid: <body background="<img src="http://localhost/Zope/dc_logo" alt="Digital Creations Logo">"> Instead try: <body backround="dc_logo"> --Rob

RE: [Zope] Text *and* field indexes in ZCatalog?
by Paul Everitt 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

Yep. Define a "virtual" field that returns a concatenation of all the real "fields" that you want indexed, then register that with the ZCatalog as the thing that supplies the text. The "virtual" field could be defined up above all the XML Documents and use the magic of acquisition to bind it to all the actual documents. You have a number of options for defining the virtual field. An external method is straightforward, or an DTML Method that used the wonderful, wonderful new  tag. Alternatively, and this is where it gets truly fun, you could start looking at giving your XML Documents a "brain". I'm not sure if this is ready for prime time yet though. --Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex.Thomas(a)dresdnerkb.com [mailto:Alex.Thomas@dresdnerkb.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 1999 7:03 AM > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Text *and* field indexes in ZCatalog? > > > On my pocket electronic organizer, I can search for a string > anywhere in any > field of the address book or in some specified fields.

RE: [Zope] What kind of object is bobobase_modification_time?
by Alexander Staubo 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

To answer your question, bobobase_modification_time() is a function. So just referring to "bobobase_modification_time" will get you the function instance, not its return value. Try::  -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan.

threading and External Methods
by Brian Hooper 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

Hi there - Real simple question: Do I need to worry about threading when coding External Methods (in Zope 2)? If I do have something that is not safe (for example, I want to os.system nslookup to check MX records) do I have to explicitly protect it somehow? --Brian

10 Aug '99

does anybody know if it is possible to fill a column of a tinytable with some DTML script? Basically i am trying to take the contents of a list object from a form and input the data into a column in a tiny table. I then want to take the contents of another list object from the same form and put this in a seperate column in the tinytable. Is this possible? Cheers, Wom.

Text *and* field indexes in ZCatalog?
by Alex.Thomas＠dresdnerkb.com 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

On my pocket electronic organizer, I can search for a string anywhere in any field of the address book or in some specified fields. This is of course similar to the idea of searching through an XML document as though it were a text stream rather than a structured source. Could ZCatalog be made to work like this, particularly with XML-sourced data? cheers Alex ------ ########################################## This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

Hidden field with a list type
by HCSCCS＠prudential.com.my 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

Hi Zopians. My problem is how can I make a hidden field to be a list with a default value? For instance, I try to make the following. REQUEST.form['pno'] contains ['abc', 'def', 'ghi'] <snip> <input type=hidden name="pno:list" value=""> When I submit the above page, and try to refer to pno, it doesn't produce the result I want. For example: <snip>  <BR>  produces only 1 item, "['abc', 'def', 'ghi']" and not 3 items, abc def ghi Thanks for any comments, --Paul
