Automatic determination of height/width properties in Images?
by Darran Edmundson 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

I just imported my existing web into Zope via the fsimport external method. Unfortunately the height/width property of the imported images was not set. Can anyone offer a way of automating the retrieval and setting of these properties? Cheers, Darran. [It's been a long day. I finally decided to install Zope at 11am this morning. 14.5 hours later, I am having to drag myself away from the monitor - what a great system.] -- Darran Edmundson dEdmundson(a)bigfoot.com

Guido van Rossum, the benevolent dictator of Python, is working on an educational program based on Python whose details are not known to me. I looked for a link to the document Guido wrote but I couldn't find it on python.org or the CNRI website. Anyone know that link? I don't want to start a language war, but you might find Guido's analysis on the ease of kids learning different programming languages (I was pleased to see my first language, LOGO, came out very well) interesting. Java might be a bit too.. ahem.. "advanced" for your students. I will also bet you a six pack of FurTrapper Stout that Python runs on more platforms than Java does.

Zope encompasses all of Python philosophies and extends them with it's own Pyhtonic Zen. Also, it is *very* easy with ZClasses (a feature of Zope 2.0.0a) to take existing Python code and turn it into a Zope application. By 'easy' I mean change a few lines of code, badda-bing (to quote The Other Mike Pelletier). -Michel > > Thanks in advance, > > Cees > -- > Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com <cg(a)cdegroot.com> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Hi! I'm iterating over a set of floating point values, using the  tag and want to add them up to get a total sum. Any clues? Bye, Alex

Mime types when uploading a file.

Hi all, I've noticed that when creating my own file upload forms, if the file uploaded doesn't have an entry in the list that zope knows, then you get this error: Traceback (innermost last): File c:\program files\soniczope2\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 255, in publish_module File c:\program files\soniczope2\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 157, in publish File c:\program files\soniczope2\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: upload_external) File c:\program files\soniczope2\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 98, in call_object (Object: upload_external) File C:\Program Files\soniczope2\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 155, in __call__ (Object: upload_external) File C:\Program Files\soniczope2\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 151, in __call__ (Object: upload_external) File C:\Program Files\soniczope2\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: upload_external) File C:\Program Files\soniczope2\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 266, in eval (Object: upload_external(file,REQUEST)) File <string>, line 0, in ?

From the documentation, it seems that using the variable > sgml-parent-document might help, but my attempts to generate such a > parent document were not successful. What you need to do is create a dummy document containing a doctype-declaration for HTML. Then you need to set the sgml-parent-document variable for the documents to ("dummy.html" "html" "body" ()) Where "dummy.html" is the name of the dummy file. You can do that with a comment in the first line of the file:  <h1></h1> <p></p> The conditionals and loops in DTML should still be a problem. -- Lennart Staflin <lenst(a)lysator.liu.se> /*/ (:ABSOLUTE :WILD)

any streaming audio formats that Zope can serve?
by Anthony Baxter 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Playing with some Zope stuff that serves up a .wav file (dynamic sound content, mmm) it occurs to me that it would be nice to be able to have some sort of streamed content (so that the end system starts playing before it's fully downloaded the file) Are there any "streaming" type audio formats that don't require a special server? Then Zope could just deliver this to ZServer (or Apache) and let it stream the data to the end system. Obviously the format also should have a reasonably available client... Anthony

Apache-modul

I'm new in Zope. I've read much about the concept and the architecture of Zope, but some questions remains: Why there isn't a Apache-module for Zope. I believe this solution would better than the PCGI. Am I wrong? Thanx for answers. Uli

In python you'd use the range() method, but that method is not available in Zope, at least, not in version 1.x. Zope 2 does include a range method, it's a member of the _ object. You would use it like this:  In Zope 1.x, you'll have to create an external method that returns the result of the python range method for you: def MyRange(iMax): return range(1, iMax) and call it from your in tag:  Note: Above code is untested.
