Integer in Datum umwandeln
by Holger Butschek 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Wie wandele ich eine Zahl in ein datum um. Ich möchte eine Übersichtsseite für eGroupware auf meinem Zope-Server bereitstellen. In der MySQL liegt das Datum in einem int(11)-Feld gespeichert. Ein Beispiel 1095780422. Wie kann ich hieraus ein Datum ermitteln?

Ok I figured it out. This is what I ended up doing: <dtml-if "len(ipAddress) > 0"> insert into NetInt(IPAddress, SystemNetName) Values( '<dtml-var name="ipAddress" sql_quote>', '<dtml-var name="HostName" sql_quote>' ) </dtml-if> Thanks for the suggestions and the time. -Laura -----Original Message----- From: Jim Abramson [mailto:jabramson@wgen.net] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 1:07 PM To: Laura McCord Cc: zope-db(a)zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope-DB] zsql question That should pretty much do it. If you want to go even further, you could write a python script to make sure the IP address is valid and make that your if condition: <dtml-if "validIpAddress(ipAddress)">insert... You could dtml-raise if the ip was _not_ valid (I _think_ that would work in a sqlmethod...)

zsql method question
by Laura McCord 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

I am trying to do an insert but I do not want the insert to occur if the value of "ipAddress" was not entered in the form. So far I have this: insert into NetInt(IPAddress, SystemNetName) Values( '<dtml-var name="ipAddress" sql_quote>', '<dtml-var name="HostName" sql_quote>' ) I am thinking that I have to put a conditional statement such as <dtml-if ipAddress> insert into NetInt(IPAddress, SystemNetName) Values( '<dtml-var name="ipAddress" sql_quote>', '<dtml-var name="HostName" sql_quote>' ) </dtml-if> Any suggestions? Thanks, Laura

refreshing the content
by Denis Mishunoff 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hi all. Maybe it's mostly the Plone question, but I think that Zope-only users can have the same question. My configuration: instance of Plone 2.0.2 on Zope 2.7. I have portlets on my site. So the question: is there any problem to refresh the piece of the content (in my case - the content of one portlet) without the refreshing of the whole page? I understand that it's not possible with the standard tools, but maybe it's possible with the use of some external tools or Python? -- Best regards, Denis Mishunoff mailto:spliter@is.lg.ua http://plonetarium.objectis.net

Persistent Dictionary
by Garito 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hi When a user ask to my system for some data I "construct" a dictionary with all relevant data that I need (for example python scripts, Page Templates, etc) I a part of the precess I need to make these dictionary persists between calls I'm trying PersistentDict from http://www.zope.org/Members/AndrewWilcox/PersistentListDict and works fine (I can see the dictionary) but when I try to access to these dictionary keys I have these error: Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access 'key in the dictionary I'm try to access' in this context My question will be: How can I create a persistent dictionary with some Zope objects references? Thanks ! * ***

RE: [Zope] using xml-rpc with javascript to access zope

Hi Chris, >If not, I'd suggest trying to implement this in very, very small pieces. e.g. make a JavaScript function that does something simple like, >calls an XML-RPC method that returns "1+1" and then displays the result 2 within the DOM using JavaScript, then build up from there >incrementally. Yes, this is my biggest problem, how do I call a simple xml-rpc method from javascript? The xml-rpc server is not a zope server it is a perl script that is running on my local computer. Ideally this is what I what to do, I want to click on a link and onclick will call a javascript function and that function will call a xml-rpc method, this will all occur in my zope page template. Sounds basic, but I don't know where to start. I just started learning xml-rpc so I don't know all of the technicalities behind it, so I am so sorry for not explaining myself correctly before. Thank You, Laura On Tue, 2004-10-05 at 17:30, Laura McCord wrote: > Help. > > I am so lost and frustrated. I am using xml-rpc with server-side perl > modules and subroutines. But, I do not know how to access these > through javascript so I can spit out the results from my zope page > template. So... the first problem is getting the jargon right here... A Zope Page Template (or a Python Script or a DTML method, etc) is capable of *generating* JavaScript code in rendered output. However this is about as much integration as there is between Zope and Javascript. Javascript operates completely within the browser and Zope really knows nothing about it. You probably know this already but it's worth repeating. In the above sentence you say "I do not know how to access these through javascript". It's unclear what "these" are in that sentence. Are you trying to access an XML-RPC server via JavaScript? Is that XML-RPC server a Zope server? Or is it some other system? If it is a Zope server, is it the same Zope server that is generating your HTML? Or is it another Zope server? (Hint: it could be any XML-RPC server). It might be advantageous to serve up the JavaScript and HTML from a system other than Zope to get a better understanding of what's going on here. You should be able to set up a static piece of HTML (maybe served up by Apache) with JavaScript in it to access an XML-RPC server (Zope or otherwise). That will make clear one source of potential confusion temporarily while you get the solution worked out. Zope will provide very little on top of whatever you devise to facilitate XML-RPC communications between the browser (in JavaScript) and whatever server you're trying to talk to. Zope's only potential contribution here is to allow you to *generate* JavaScript and it doesn't appear that you need to do that; at least you haven't mentioned needing to do it yet. > I have been using a client-side python script to access these > subrountines and creating external methods to use them in my zpt, but > now I need to use one of these subroutines though an 'onclick'. I'm afraid the jargon is so mixed up here that nobody can really know what you're trying to do. What is a "client-side python script'? Why are you using external methods (these are usually only used when you're attempting to do something that the Zope security machinery won't allow you to do in a Python Script, and you make no mention of security here at all)? I *think* you're at a place where you've discovered: - an "onlick" handler in JavaScript can't call a Zope method directly; instead it can only call JavaScript code. - you need an onlick handler to do something that effects the Zope server; this must be implemented in JavaScript. - a good way to do this is to use XML-RPC. Is that right? > And of > course, I have learned the hard way that zope can not be accessed > directly through javascript. I have also been told that Epoz uses > javascript in this way but after looking at Epoz I am completely lost > and do not know where to start. > > I am hoping that someone knows a simple or basic way of doing this for > someone like me that is a new programmer. What you've explained that you're attempting to do is not particularly easy: there's nothing simple or basic about it unfortunately. Is there a way to do it that doesn't involve JavaScript? This would make things much easier. If not, I'd suggest trying to implement this in very, very small pieces. e.g. make a JavaScript function that does something simple like, calls an XML-RPC method that returns "1+1" and then displays the result 2 within the DOM using JavaScript, then build up from there incrementally. - C
