Thanks Mike, I tried also _['sequence-item'] and it works? In fact, I aim to construct a select popup using these sequence-items but add the attribut 'SELECTED' only to an item equal to certain a variable coming from previous form. So in my test, _['sequence-item'] should be evaluate against this variable, . For the test I declared and attributed the variable 'day' in a propriety of my folder.

Most ftp servers have settings for throttling the anonymous connections and the regular connections. Thus, while the max of fifty ftp users might be logged in, regular priviliged users could still get in. --Paul

- A little bit about what we're doing, and a request for ideas
by David Wagle 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Zopesters! First, I'd like to offer a big THANK YOU to Amos for being the very best software support department I've ever encountered. Now, on to some more interesting stuff. Basically I'm developing a site to store procedures for our IT departments. Each department has it's own directory wherein there are three main folders: procedures, systems_data, and tasks_lists. Under each of these is a main page that allows department members to either add, modify or "check_out" a procedure/datapage/tasklist. Supervisors also get an option to delete. The basic flow that I'm currently working on is the process for adding new procedures/datapages/tasklists. Current flow is as follows: 1. the user "logs in" at a main page and navigates to the proper directory main page. There they select 'add' and are given a template page to be saved to their local system. They are then asked to fill in a form containing a bunch of "metadata" about the procedure. 2. This data is used to populate a database that correlates all this information, and makes it's later retrivial easier (actually, nearly trivial!) 3. The database is updated and a new directory is created with a unique path (generated using PrincipiaTime()+username.) 4. This path is then given to the user so that they can use the netscape 'publish' command to place the page, nad all accompanying graphics, files, whatever, onto the server. Now, my basic question is two-fold: first -- does this layout/process_chain look sane to everyone? second -- how would you improve it if you were me? I would LIKE to allow for the elimination of step 4, and simply have the user supply the path name at step 1. The database query could then be run and the page uploaded "automagically." IF the users are not including any additional files, graphics or other objects in the page, this is easy (thanks to Amos for showing the way!). The problem is that if the user DOES include extra stuff, it won't get uploaded. I've thought about it a tad and I've really got no clue on if this is possible, or worthwhile. I know from a user standpoint it would be -- indeed, it is actually part of the "user requirements" that i was given. I'm thinking that one possible solution is to write a pythonscript or javascript object that is sent to the user, and which would then parse the page to be uploaded, and include the necessary files. But I don't know if that is legitimately feasable, or how difficult it would be to correctly implement. I'm also not particularly open to the idea of moving to ZServer and using FTP -- while it might make some aspects of this easier, this is going to be a necessary system for a production environment, and using Alpha software (even really darn nice alpha software) will not enhance my job security :) So, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Oh - and for testimonials -- how about "Because of Zope's increadible easy development model and low learning curve, our project development is 200% ahead of schedual. If we were using any other tool set currently available for our environment, there is no way we would be as close to role-out as we are!" - --dave - ------------------------------------------------- A computer system without Microsoft products is like a dog without bricks chained to its head. - ------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNq8cKNtGhckXZmDjEQJ0qwCgtMKP+2o+PBtuJUREv67D2WImzVgAoPK9 pYiPfgAL6L4KGX9vlIYagSbq =b2MI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

- generating links from a database
by Jeff Nielsen 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

I'm building a site that is very much database driven. I'm trying to generate a list of items on one page with each item having a hyperlink to another page that will show detailed information for that item. I can create the pages, but I can't quite figure out how to pass the key value from the hyperlink to the query for the summary page. This is the code I'm using to create the list of hyperlinked items in the "list of items" page:  <a href="EventSummary?EventID="> </a>  This works well. What I'm not successful at is passing the EventID to the second query. I've found I can hard code it as such:    But I can figure out how to pass the EventID dynamically. Any guidance would be appreciated. Jeff jeffniel(a)ix.netcom.com

I just added the Zope site to http://www.planetclick.com. If you visit that site, you'll get to rate http://www.zope.org. Clearly, I can't control what you rate the site. Of course, if you have no intention of rating it a 10, then perhaps there's no need to wander over there :-). OK, just kidding (sort of :-).

- Do I have to explicitely pass REQUEST to external function?
by Brad Clements 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

I have an external python function, who's header starts like this: def Toggle(self, var='a', optvar=None,trueval=None, falseval=None, REQUEST=None,RESPONSE=None): "Toggle Test based on cookies and URL" (kindly ignore line wrapping) I call it from dhtml, like this:  (again, no wrapping) If I don't use REQUEST=REQUEST,RESPONSE=RESPONSE I get read-only buffer, class exception. Is this the way it's expected to function? I can also call this function as  Same deal, must have REQUEST. Is there any way I can avoid explicitely passing REQUEST and RESPONSE?
