When you have Documents calling Documents its sometimes hard to keep things straight. Acquisition is part of the confusion, but I don't really think its the issue here. Basically you have an object docA calling another docB. The docB is told to execute a method that both it and docA implement. So it calls its own method. Really you would like to specify that it should call the method on DocA. This is hard to do, if you just specify the method name. I propose that there should be something analogous to the PARENTS list for Documents. Maybe is should be called CALLERS or DOCUMENTS or something. It should be a list of Documents, so that when index_html calls standard_html_header which calls mydoc, mydoc should be able do something like:  To call a method on index_html (the first CALLER). Thoughts? -Amos P.S. This facility would make the view dtml source widget on the Zope site work, as well :-)

It can be relative or absolute, just as with a normal html document. Maybe I'm missing the point... > Should I stop beating myself over the head yet? Yes, and help me write the Multi-Part Document Product, part of which was intended to help solve associated problems (and a shot at anchor cross-referencing in general also. :^) Kent.

PDF and Zope
by Oscar Picasso 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

Hi, I need to modify on the fly PDF file that are stored in a ZODB. The basic idea is to use these PDF files as templates and add to them some texts and drawings generated by some external method or with DTML scripts. I tried Pavlos ZpdfDocument product. It's very nice to generate PDF code from HTML or Structured text. However I need something more flexible. I took a look also at the PDFGen library. I think it could meet some of my requirements, especially the Canvas methods are very useful and easy. But here too it seems that you can only produce new PDF documents. As anyone tried to do the same thing (adding objects to PDF files)? Any pointer greatly appreciated. ****************************************************** Oscar Picasso picasso(a)videotron.ca ******************************************************

Newbie question: Unhandled requests.
by Hannes 10 Mar '97

10 Mar '97

We currently started to run our site using Zope behind Apache using ProxyPass, when testing from the outside it seems that there many (about one-third) of the requests that are not handled by Zope, the browser seems to recieve nothing, (means the browser times out), this behaviour does not depend on the complexity of the document templates, it is an overall phenomenon (including management screens etc...). When pressing reload the things get okay most of the times, but it is annoying.. Any help would be appreciated..... thanks in advance. H.Grund. please replay to grundhan(a)cs.tu-berlin.de
