Re: [Zope] change properties in external methods (was get properties ....)

23 Nov 2002


      You may want to try the ZSyncer product:
http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/ZSyncer

Anyhow, here you have some hints for your current purpose:
...
myAction is 'manage_addPythonScript'
myAction should be 'manage_addProduct/PythonScripts/manage_addPythonScript'
. PythonScripts need to be created this way, when using an URL.
...
#### but the upload of the properties does not work
    params = urllib.urlencode({'id': prop,
'value':propValue,'type':propType})
That should work fine, for string properties. Nonetheless, try to add the
type to the 'id' key: (untested)

params = urllib.urlencode({'id': '%s:%s' % (prop, propType),
'value':propValue,'type':propType})

Hi Ausum,
ok I'll get more into detail even if some problems are already solved.
I want to upload object's with properties of different meta_types from a
local Zope to a remote Zope just via HTTP (no zexp etc. cause I have no
access and cannot add any Products to the remote Zope) :-(
I will do it with an external method based on uploadfile.py @
zope-cookbook
by pieterb
1. problem: I managed to upload files, folder, ... with title just python
scripts don't work (I'll show the code later...)
2. problem: I cannot add other properties upto now
Can anybody give some hints?
-- many thanks for your replies, Elena
the relevant codesnippets:
import urllib
.....
# use authentication and set the user agent
    urllib._urlopener = MyUrlOpener()
.....
if objectType != 'Folder': objectSource = object.read()     ### I get
the script-body with bindings and params
if objectType == 'Script (Python)':
        params = urllib.urlencode({'id': objectId, 'file':objectSource})
##### this doesn't work
    else:
        params = urllib.urlencode({'id': objectId, 'title':objectTitle,
'file':objectSource})    ##### this works nicely
myAction = actionDict[objectType]
    callURL = '/'.join([myHost, objPath, myAction])
    ## if objectType == 'Script (Python)' myAction is
'manage_addPythonScript'
# send the file to zope
    f=urllib.urlopen(callURL, params)    ##### this works nicely exept for
'Script (Python)' type
# add properties
    callURL = '/'.join([myHost, objPath, 'manage_addProperty'])
    for prop in object.propertyIds():
       if prop != 'title' or objectType != 'Script (Python)': ### title
exists already, scripts don't have properties
          propValue = object.getProperty(prop)
          propType = object.getPropertyType(prop)   ### up to here it
works
#### but the upload of the properties does not work
          params = urllib.urlencode({'id': prop, 'value':propValue,
'type':propType})
#urllib._urlopener = MyUrlOpener() ### I tried to set the opener
again, but no change
          f=urllib.urlopen(callURL, params)
