DB & SQL Method error
by Stephan Richter 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

I just connected a db to Zope 2.0.0b3. After I created the conenction, I tried to add an Z SQL Method. It told me I could not create one, since I do not have a SQL DB connection. But when I copied a query from another folder and executed it everything worked fine. I just installed b3. It was fine in b1. stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer

XML --> Newbie --> DTML --> HTML?
by Stuart Hungerford 09 Aug '99

09 Aug '99

Hi all, I saw the announcements recently about support for XML documents in Zope. This is a Very Good Thing. Can some kind person give me a brief overview of the process of getting XML elements into HTML via DTML templates? Are the XML elements treated just like any other Zope data source and placed in a folder, or is there more to it? TIA, Stu

Catching external links - Ideas ?
by Bjoern Kriews 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

Hi ! I am pretty new to Zope and I am looking for a way to allow content authors to link to external sites through a logging redirector. I would like to save those people from typing the redirector-URL and having to URL-escape some characters. What I want to provide the content writers with is something like:  and get <A HREF="/redirect?http%3a%2f%2fsome.where%3fquery%2520string%23name" onMouseOver="...">Look, there !</A> If you have an idea on how to achieve this with Zope builtins or on the best way to implement it, please give me a hint. Thanks & regards, Bjoern

ZSQLMethods broken in 2.0.0b3?
by Harry Page 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

I installed 2.0.0b3 on linux yesterday and the DAs don't work anymore (Gadfly of Postgres). I can add the connection ok but when I go to add a ZSQLMethod I get an error that no connections exist. I looked at the DA code but it seems to be the same between 2.0.0b1 and 2.0.0b3. Any ideas? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

At last. That's it. This works... import DocumentTemplate from Acquisition import Implicit def dosearch(self): template = self.search.read_raw() completed = DocumentTemplate.HTML(template) theresult = completed(self, content='a') return(self, theresult) Notes: 1) search is a DTML document that does a ZSQL query. This is the code that I want to modify (and ultimately, let others modify to their own specifications). This is *such* a big win for us... 2) In this snippet, content is defined in the Python code. In my real application it is obtained from a db lookup 3) the read_raw method is important, otherwise the template is HTML-quoted 4) Phillip is *the man*! :) Many thanks Phillip, this has broken a huge log jam for me. cheers again, tone out.

Zope mailing list archives?
by Jeffrey Perry 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

Please pardon what must be a FAQ. (Is there an FAQ list for this list?) I know where the message archive is on the zope site, but it does not seem to be searchable. Is there a searchable site for ALL of the zope mailing lists. (I just remembered, I think the zope list is archived and searchable on www.egroups.com) Seems to me the new Zcatalog tool could be used to index the zope site including the message archives.

Permissions for Versions?
by Andreas Kostyrka 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

Hi! Which permissions does one user need to start/quit working in Versions? A user that has "view management screens" (which works) and "join/leave versions" doesn't get Start/Quit buttons, and entering the "enter" URL manually gives a permission error.

Small problem with Zope
by "Rafael Sepúlveda" 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

After a week I finally make zope 1.10.3 work with apache in Debian. But I have a small problem: when the server starts, it tells after a while "Temporarily unavailable", and in the HTML source it says "connection refused". But if I run in the prompt (with root) the command: /usr/bin/pcgi-wrapper /usr/lib/cgi-bin/Zope then it makes an error with the publisher and after this, if I try to get into 'http://my.host/Zope/manage', it works! *This only works if I run the command with root.* Any idea what is the problem? Because it's not commfortable to do this every time after the server has a problem or a reboot. I will apreciate any help and also if you email to my email address because i'm not in the zope list.
