Client Detection in Zope
by Martin N. Hudson 14 Jul '99

I am a digest subscriber and have enjoyed the list very much. Great job! I am currently trying to figure out how I can use the powerful DTML 'macro'ing capability to build pages dependent on the browser and its services (plug-ins, Java, JavaScript). Is there a way to do this from the server side that would give me this information or am I relegated to the client side detection? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Please reply directly to me as the digest isn't always immediate. Thanks, Martin Hudson Development InfoStructure 1101 N.

squishdot 0.1.5 against zope rpm 1.10.3
by zhaoway 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

I've encountered a problem when installing Squishdot 0.1.5 on Zope RPM 1.10.3 I got a broken product. Then I looked into the Traceback. It says: Squishdot Import Traceback Traceback (innermost last): File "/tmp/Zope-rootdir/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/OFS/Application.py", line 395, in import_products File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/Products/Squishdot/__init__.py", line 128, in ? import Squishdot, Squishfile File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Zope/Products/Squishdot/Squishdot.py", line 131, in ? from SearchIndex.TextIndex import TextIndex File "/tmp/Zope-rootdir/usr/lib/python1.5/SearchIndex/__init__.py", line 91, in ? ImportError: No module named Query Since I've successfully installed Squishdot on my local win98 test box, I went to checked out that, on my local win98 test box w/ Zope for windows installed: there're Query.c and Query.pyd under lib/python/SearchIndex while on my linux box w/ Zope RPM installed, there're no such files. Maybe this is the problem? Please clarify me. Thanks! --zhaoway P.S. Squishdot 0.1.4 w/ the same Zope rpm on linux has no problem. confusing. :(

In 2.0.0a4, when I click either of the "change" buttons in the cache control panel, my browser attempts to download the methods those buttons are supposed to call. It claims they are type x-httpd-cgi . Bruce

RE: [Zope] Confera "talkback" buttons - is this correct?
by Alexander Staubo 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Of course. Call it a momentarily lapse of reason -- I wasn't thinking clearly. Honestly! :-) I remember being somewhat annoyed by this at one point as I could not find a way to cleanly handle class construction -- I ended up putting a check in the class' index_html and creating my instances there, which is an ugly but functional hack. I still think ZClasses should be permitted to expose constructor-like methods. The form-handling code you described works but is hardly a "neat" solution. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a steam locomotive and hum all the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears." --Robert Rankin, _The Book of Ultimate Truths_ >-----Original Message----- >From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On >Behalf Of Brian >Lloyd >Sent: 14. juli 1999 00:55 >To: 'Alexander Staubo'; Zope Mailing List (E-mail) >Subject: RE: [Zope] Confera "talkback" buttons - is this correct? > > >> Speaking of which, has anybody tried using Confera from >> within a ZClass? >> It would be much more elegant that was Cees describes. >Question being: >> Would Confera store its messages in the instance, or in the class? >> >> -- >> Alexander Staubo > >You would need to arrange for your ZClass to create a new >Confera _instance_ in your new object instance at construction >time.

Try this: Put the list of field names in a multiple SELECT box. Make the name of the field something:list e.g., <SELECT NAME="fields_to_select:list" MULTIPLE> Then you can say: SELECT     ,   FROM  The  is relatively straightforward. The  is necessary to not produce a trailing comma after the LAST field name. sequence-end is true if there are no more items in the sequence. If there are, then a comma is inserted. Of course all of this is untested! Hope this helps! --Rob

ssl support
by Thomas.Pasch＠e-technik.uni-magdeburg.de 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hello, I think, this is a basic question. Is there any possiblily to use zope with ssl connections? I'm a beginner to that subject, but I wonder if you could perhaps configure apache so that the server is handling the en&decryption things. How to do that? In addition, does the answer change when using ZServer? Would it be a good thing for zope to have access to the openssl library under python 1.5.2 and above? Is somebody working on this right now? Regards, Thomas
