apologies if i overwhelmed people with the issues i was having. i should have probably dealt it out in smaller chunks. but, if anyone can help out with even just 1 of the 5 problems below, then i would very much appreciate it. heartful of thanks in advance. ;) -- best regards, tav ----- Original Message ----- From: "tav" <tav@espnow.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 11:10 AM Subject: [Zope] page properties (part II)
apologies for the delay with the site, to anyone who was expecting it, i had some "real life" issues to deal with :/ which, i have now managed to deal with for the time being, and got back to dear zope. i worked away at it all nite, and ended up with a handful of problems, which i am hoping someone will be able to solve ;)
(1) following up from last time
i thought it would be more functional if the user could define the pagename and a pagetopic (section) and press enter, when the user does this, it sends the info to a dtml document, which puts the page(pagename) into managed_mode, and i would also like to now set the pagetopic as a new property... page_topic
atm, the code looks like this...
------ <dtml-with "_.getitem(pagename,0)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(managed_mode=1)"> </dtml-with> ------
but, i have no idea how i would get the second pagetopic passed along, and set as a new property on whatever page, pagename is
(2) sorting by two values
i wa trying to sort through all the pages, and display the 10 most recently changed ones which have page_status set to approved.
------ <dtml-in "aq_parent.objectValues(spec='ZWiki Page')" size="10" sort="bobobase_modification_time" reverse> <dtml-if "page_status == 'approved'"> <a href="&dtml.url_quote-id;" class="alt"><dtml-var id></a><p> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> ------
i came close with the above code, however, it sorts out the 10 most recent pages first, and then 'filters' and displays the ones which have approved status. whereas i want 10 approved pages :(
(3) search
how would i create a page that allowed people to search a host of pages by specific properties, e.g. page_status or page_name?
- so, user selects property from a drop-down list and types in what he is searching for into a text field, and presses search.....
- perhaps even search by time? e.g. person says, only display pages created in the last [person enters value here] days
- and of course, search by time when last edited. person enters start time, and end time, and all pages last edited within that time frame are shown
- would it be possible for someone to search on two criteria? say page_name and time last changed?
(4) these questions related to PTK (i am running the latest CVS version)
- the /Members/membername section seems to be fucked ): going there directly tells me that the object cant be found. digging through the PTK-list, i found out that /Members/membername/index_html/index_html works, but that is one damned nuisance
it works nicely on zope.org, so i am hoping that there is a workaround for it ;)
- i would like to also limit what users can upload to 100kb. any way of doing this?
(5) imo, this is the hardest of what i want to do
in the root folder of the site, i have 3 "boxes" (box1, box2, box3 ;), these are all dtml documents. each of those boxes have a corresponding, simple dtml document: color1, color2, and color3
i also have a dtml document called featurepage, which looks like:
------ <tr><td bgcolor=<dtml-var color1>> <dtml-var box1> </td></tr> <tr><td bgcolor=<dtml-var color2>> <dtml-var box2> </td></tr> <tr><td bgcolor=<dtml-var color3>> <dtml-var box3> </td></tr> ------
now, what i would like to do is, when user signs up (this uses PTK's default system), featurepage is copied over to the user's directory /Members/username
again, i notice that zope.org copies over a zwiki folder... so this must be possible. also, if possible, i would like to customise the user's index_html, which i dont seem to be able to do atm :/
anyways, once the featurepage is copied over, i would like to let the user do two things
(1) tick which boxes they want to show
(2) define which order they want the boxes they have chosen to appear...
(3) define the different colors for the boxes that they have chosen
letting a person do all this through a webpage "seems" to be possible, just dont know how :/
apologies in advance for such a long list of problems. i have spent many sleepless nites trying to work them all out. managed to solve half the problems, but the above are beyond me ):
thanks in advance for any help
-- best regards, tav
ps, with PTK, is there any way to copy a certain file/fodler into the Members/username section of each member who has already registered? or does this have to be done *shudder* manually?
pps, with the PTK, is there any way to change the user's roles, e.g. add Reviewer role to Member, without altering the password? thanks
