PDF on the fly
by Stephan Goeldi 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

I want to create PDF versions of a webpage on the fly. It must be possible to use a specific type 1 postscript font file. I installed htmldoc as suggested by Maik Jablonski in his very good howto (http://zope.org/Members/mjablonski/howtoPDF) It works, but it doesn't support stylesheets. I cannot figure out how to add a new font. I installed ReportLab and it works too. What I don't know and didn't find in the documentation of ReportLab is: - can I use ReportLab to CONVERT to pdf instead of CREATING pdf? - is there an easy way (as with htmldoc) to do this?

TextIndexNG windows extensions for Zope 2.7
by Vladimir Petrovic 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hello, Has anybody compiled TextIndexNG windows extensions for python2.3 that comes with Zope 2.7 binary distribution on Windows ? I've tried to compile them, but setup.py wants to have the same version of Visual studio that is used for compiling Zope which I don't have. And I'm not sure how to compile the whole Zope on Windows. Thanks, Vladimir

A GET is supposed to be idempotent, a POST need not be. For example, if you GET an airline schedule twice in a row, it should not have changed because of the effect of any data you sent with the GET. If you transfer money from one bank account to another using a POST, you expect to see a change in the state of the resource (your bank account's representation). True, a POST does not _have_ to make such a change. But a GET is NEVER supposed to. When you mix up form variables between a POSTed form and query string parameters,the procedssor ought to assume that all the parameters might have come with the POST. So in effect the semantics of the GET have been changed. That is what I am against - even if it is convenient once in a while. Cheers, Tom P

date formatting question
by Kate Legere 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

I'm passing a date variable to a MySQL database and want to send the date dynamically. In my dtml method file I have <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('now',ZopeTime().ISO())"> which gives me the date in almost the right format - however I need only the 0000-00-00 part at the beginning and don't seem to be able to find a method that returns precisely what I want. I've also tried <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('now',ZopeTime().Date())"> but that doesn't work. Any suggestions? Kate

Zope Requests - POST vs. GET
by fowlertrainer＠anonym.hu 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello zope, In the PHP/Perl/CGI I get the Post, and Get variables in another array. This thechique is prevent to merge the Post/Get variables. So if I get the (hided) POST variable named X, and use it to do anything, the common user don't see it. But in Zope I see that all of the variables placed in the request "object", and if anyone create a dummy Get variables, then it is do same thing: <input type="hidden" name="x" id="x" value="nnn"> post is same as: mysite?x=nnn So: the user is can do same effect like my hidden field. Can I separate these arguments/variables as php/perl ? Thanx: KK -- Best regards, fowlertrainer mailto:fowlertrainer@anonym.hu

Changing the Appearance of a Local File System Object
by Asad Habib 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hello. I have a folder that I have created at the root level and inside this folder I have placed one Local File System object. The Local File System object contains two File objects. When I view the Local File System object by clicking on the 'View' option provided by the management interface, I can see that it contains two File objects. What I would like to do is to change the way that these File objects are displayed. Specifically, I would like to show only certain attributes that these File objects have and hide others. Right now, the following attributes are shown: type, icon, size, and last modified time(mtime). I would like to hide the size and last modified time(mtime) attributes. I want these attributes to be set but I do not want their values to show. FYI, I am using the Local File System Product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
