Error with filenames during FTP
Are there any known issues when uploading via FTP files with names like:- content.asp%3Fcontent_category_id=1 I get a '426 Error creating file.' msg after it has been sent. What can I do about it? -- John

"%" is not allowed in Zope ids. In stock Zope, only the following characters are allowed in Zope ids: 'a-zA-Z0-9-_~,.$()# ' Either avoid names with characters not allowed in Zope ids or relax the Zope id restriction. -- Dieter

I'm attempting to import a FrontPage-built website into Zope and would prefer to make as few changes as possible. I can't see anything about 'relaxing Zope id restriction'. Any hints about where I should look?

What characters are allowed in ids is controlled by the "bad_id" regular expression in "OFS.ObjectManager". Be careful, when you allow characters that are not allowed in URL path segments (such as e.g. "?"). If you do this, you must ensure that URLs build by Zope are properly url-quoted. -- Dieter

I changed ObjectManager by adding a '%' to the list. Now the previous error msg disappears, but there doesn't appear to be any sign of the uploaded file. I think I'll give up on this and look at changing the filenames before uploading them, but this means that I need to change some of the web pages which explicitly reference pages such as content.asp?content_category_id=3. Is there a Howto anywhere which suggests ways of incorporating a FrontPage-built website into Zope?

Because it contains a character used in URLs to denote the beginning of a QUERY_STRING. The purpose of such a QUERY_STRING is to enable the page to dynamically modify it's displayed content. Only solution I think would be practicable without the stuff I'll talk about below is to change every occurence of "?" (in filenames) to "_" and to copy that in every existing link. Then you can have Zope serve these static pages ... but then again this is a waste of power, why use a dynamic server enviroment to serve static content?

Which is probably the best overall approach.

Well, shouldn't the logic used in ASP be contained in the content.asp source? Use the source, Luke! As I gather you are currently using an offline copy of the page already rendered, of course you'll find a lot of "independent" pages using the same URL ... but with a different QUERY_STRING. IMHO you should try to use the same base pages acting out the QUERY_STRING settings just like the ASP site did. I don't use ASP if I can help it but it works like PHP or DTML ... just translate the ASP stuff :)

I don't know of any, but if you know what happens in the page you should be able to construct the same logic in DTML. For example your content.asp page seems to display different stuff for each acceptable value of "content_category_id". In DTML (though everybody seems to use ZPT nowadays) this would be something like [...] <dtml-if content_category_id> <dtml-if "content_category_id=='1'"> <dtml-var cci1> <dtml-elif "content_category_id=='2'"> <dtml-var cci2> <dtml-elif "content_category_id=='3'"> <dtml-var cci3> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> This is the <i>normal</i> view. </dtml-if> [...] and if you create Z-Objects "cci1" to "cci3" (say as "DTML Document") you can have all alternative content in their own respective container.
