Basically, you just need to call "objectValues" on the Folder you are interested in. As long as the Folder is _above_ you in the heirarchy, you can acquire it. If it is below you, then just refer to it as if it were any other subobject. For example, say your site has a folder setup like: folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 folder5 folder6 Now, lets say the actual dtml is actually called with the url: /folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/index_html So to create a table based on folder2, we can 'acquire' folder2:  or if we want to list folder6, we just start at the current level:  Hope this helps!

Weirdness with <dtml-in> and external methods.
by Tony McDonald 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

Hi all, I have a situation where I pass some variables *from* an external method, to some DTML, which then returns it to the external method (which *then* presents the finished product to the user). Sounds convoluted, and it is, but it's the only way I can think of that will let me do initial processing (for speed), but will allow me to change the actual layout displayed to the user without messing with external products (it also seems more flexible). As an example, here's a snippet from my external method (make_html3.py) that will generate a <P> tag around some content, given that the 'type' of element is text (I have quite a few, such as 'item' and 'modulecontributor') if thetag == 'text': if theclass: # does it have a class? used for Cascading Style Sheets. html.seq_prefix = "<P CLASS='%s'>" % theclass html = "<P CLASS='%s'>%s" % (theclass, content) # html = self.Actors.RENDER.dopara(theclass=theclass, content=content) else: html = "<P>%s" % content return html If the commented line is removed, and I comment the preceding one, my DTML method (dopara) gets called; <table><tr><td bgcolor=silver><dtml-var content></td></tr></table> and all is well. Now all is fine and dandy *until* I want to use <dtml-in constructs. I want to do this because for one of my 'type's is an email address for data on module contributors (title, address, tel etc.) I've tried with full ZSQL queries and they didn't work (but they DO work if I try them from within the Zope framework). I ended up with this DTML, called modulecontributor. SQLPhone is a folder where I'm putting my SQL methods, one of which is info_from_email. <table> <tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=silver>This data is being dynamically generated from a database</td></tr> <dtml-in "Actors.SQLPhone.info_from_email(email=content)"> <tr> <td><dtml-var Title> <dtml-var Initials> <dtml-var Surname><td><td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Department:</td><td><dtml-var Department_Name></td> </tr> </dtml-in> </table> the relevant Python looks like this if theclass == 'modulecontributor': html = self.Actors.RENDER.modulecontributor(content=content) return html and the traceback :( looks like this...  I reduced things down until the <dtml-in> was looping over a token property. Still no joy.

Not at this point, anyway. Perhaps one day. Certainly once we do a pure XML design, we will do a DTD.

Knotmail is functional, but very feature incomplete at this point.

server error with optional args to Z SQL method
by Tim Potter 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

Just one more question for today. (-: I'm trying to create some optional arguments in Zope 2.0.0b1 to a Z SQL method using the sqlgroup and sqltest tags. My query is select * from links      and I've given it arguments of link_num:int parent:int There doesn't seem to be a way to make the arguments optional (or at least ignore empty values) as if I change and test this query, leaving one of the arguments empty, I get an 'Error response Error code 500. Message: Internal Server Error' from Zope, and the following error on the xterm which started up Zope 1999-08-06T07:21:50 ERROR(200) ZServer Server Error: exceptions.ValueError, Empty entry when <strong>integer</strong> expected: file: /scratch/zope/Zope-2.0.0b1-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Converters.py line: 124 It's pretty obvious that Zope thinks I should have supplied a value for another parameter, but I think the fact it causes an exception is a bug. I'm having great fun at the moment writing an interface to a HTML links database. All the links are stored in a MySQL table and Zope provides a super-nifty front end with a tree based navigation system. Zope is awesome! On another note, is there any chance of a searchable mailing list index being made for this list? I use google, but there seems to have been some reorganisation of the site since it was last indexed and all the pipermail links are broken. )-: Tim. -- Tim Potter, System Admin/Programmer "Disco Stu doesn't advertise" Advanced Computational Systems CRC, RSISE Bldg Australian National University, Canberra 0200, AUSTRALIA Ph: +61 2 62798813 Fax: +61 2 62798602

RE: [Zope] hiding site content based upon a domain? (similar to htaccess)

Can't you just remove all permissions from the Anonymous role? Then you can create your "privileged" role, create a user having that role, and restrict that user's domain spec to the domain you want.

Zope and PHP

Hi I was wondering if it was possible to make Zope and PHP live together, and if it would be useful or not...

PCGI + ZServer with the same Zope installation
by Brian Hooper 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

Hi there! I couldn't find this documented anywhere, so I decided I would just see if I could get an answer from the voice of experience - is it possible to run Zope both from PCGI and ZServer at the same time? I am building a site where I want some stuff to be over SSL, so I have to use PCGI for that stuff, but I want to use ZServer to serve out the rest of the (non-secure) part of the site. Is this possible? Are pcgi_publisher.py and ZServer 'aware' of each other somehow? Setting up things this way wouldn't result in two Zopes getting started, would it? Anyone know about this? --Brian
