Windows 95/98 programm to map my Zope-FTP to a drive letter on my Windows workstation. Commercial Versions are ftpNetDrive or WebDrive. But these are not free. Thank you Marcus P.S.: mounting Zope`s FTP with AFS (Alex FS to local directory on my linux-box and sharing this mounted directory by SAMBA seems to be to much work. But if someone has experiences with this serverside solution, please let me know. ______________________________________ (0> Marcus Schopen //\ Bielefeld, Germany V_/_ ______________________________________ --__--__-- Message: 2 From: weboats@web-oats.com Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 10:13:03 -0700 (PDT) To: zope@zope.org Reply-To: weboats@web-oats.com Subject: [Zope] (no subject) Greetings, Is there a limit to the number of objects that may appear in a product?

That was generous. Have you ever used this from cron? Just so I know before I try it. All my best,

I'm not sure if it is worthy of putting up on Zope. Although I'm sure people will correct me if I am wrong.

But I have no problems in letting you have it

<packDb.py> is the main python script. You will need to change the line that reads s=xmlrpclib.Server('http://myserver:8080/', transport=None, username='username', password='password') To reflect your correct server details.

<xmlrpclib.py> xmlrpc Library for python. Place this in your python/libs directory, or the same directory as packDb.py

<packExtension.py> This contains the code for the external Method. Place this in your zope/Extensions directory. Create it if it doesn't exist.

You will need to add an external method to the root of your ZODB that points to packExtensions.py script

If you have any problem then please let me know.

In what way does it *not* follow Python (expression) syntax rules?

_['something'] doesn't just return the value from the dictionary which has the 'something' key, if it's callable, it'll try to call it and then return that... not nice :(

If you want to be safe, use _.getitem('something',0)...

True enough, that's a somewhat weird semantic, but it's still following python *syntax* rules <grin>. --RDM --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:35:31 -0400 (EDT) From: "R.

I'm still getting allsorts of errors. My code is like this...

<dtml-in expr="get_days_events(startDateString)"> <dtml-var EventName> </dtml-in>

I'm having trouble passing StartDateString to get_days_events. If I look at StartDateString using <dtml-var startDateString> it looks OK.

What kind of errors? --RDM --__--__-- Message: 6 Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:52:10 -0400 (EDT) From: "R. David Murray" <bitz@bitdance.com> To: Marc Dullien <M.Dullien@digitalpublishing.de> cc: "'zope@zope.org'" <zope@zope.org> Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope Usage On Thu, 3 Aug 2000, Marc Dullien wrote:

Q1: With what tool inside Zope do I program the HTML Templates ?

Read the DTML reference.

Q2: I want to fill those templates with database entries

Read the ZSQL reference.

Q3: How can I do the linkage

Isn't that the same as Q2?

If you could send me a short Howto or something, that would be great, I can find ma way through from there !

Well, neither one is exactly short...so you might want to skim them first and then go back and read in detail as you try things out. --RDM --__--__-- Message: 7 From: rgines@purina.com To: Marcus Schopen <marcus@localguru.de> cc: zope@zope.org Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:26:55 -0500 Subject: Re: [Zope] free client to map Zope-FTP My first question is "Do you realy need a drive letter?". If you don't need a drive letter, but really just need a connection which is mapped within the Windows drive space, there is a utility called Internet Neighborhood from KnoWare. It allows you to map FTP sites into the Windows 'File Explorer'. It is not free, but it is shareware. I don't use it personally, but I did run across it when I was testing some utilities for a client. Depending on what your underlying need is, it should work well for you.

So In ZUBB (my discussion product) I want to be able to show how many replies there have been to any one main topic. All replies are 'children' of the main post and when I state it with

<dtml-tree branches=children> Stuff </dtml-tree>

It works and knows that each message is a child of the message.

When in go through a searchResult to list the message I want to show many replies there are to that message.

Q: How do I count the 'children' of any one onject?

if children aren't nested <dtml-let x="objectIds(['childrenClass'])"> <dtml-var "_.len(x)"> </dtml-let> if children are nested you probably need a recursive dtml/python method. in python def count_children(o): x = o.objectItems(['childClass']) sum = len(x) for child, child_name in x: sum = sum + count_children(child) return sum Kapil --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org --__--__---- End of Zope Digest
