Aligning Images With Text
Here is my code: <dtml-if "_[ProgCode + 'PIC']"> <dtml-var "_[ProgCode + 'PIC']"> </dtml-if> What I would like to do is align the picture to the right of my web page. If I was programming html I would do it like this: <img src=T043PIC align=right> Any help?

You might create a dtml variable with a dtml call, e.g., <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('image1', _[ProgCode + 'PIC']"> Then use your image html tag as <img src="<dtml-var image1>" align="right"> ciao! greg.

I get an error message when I try your code. Expression (Python) Syntax error: unexpected EOF while parsing , for tag <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('image1', _[ProgCode + 'PIC']">, on line 32 of display_html Gregory Haley wrote:

Untested, but I copied most of it from a working method: <dtml-var "_.getitem('ProdCode' + 'PIC',0).tag(align='right')"> --RDM
This worked. Now if only I could get my dtml-if statement working. Thanks, Terry "R. David Murray" wrote:

I believe this should work (mostly tested): <dtml-if "_.has_key(ProgCode + 'PIC')"> Note that this will be true if the id exists anywhere in the acquisition path. --RDM

I posted a similar question, but unfortunatly no response on that one. I haven't done it yet, but I guess you could simply change the Image product so that it can handle another parameter. If you use .tag you can only control ALT, HEIGHT, WIDTH and BORDER Look for these things in the Image module and see if you can add ALIGN. Good luck. Please keep us posted if any success. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Babbey <terry@lambton.on.ca> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 8:24 PM Subject: [Zope] Aligning Images With Text

As far as I can see from the source, tag should handle arbitrary arguments. The comments certainly say that it does. This is as of 2.1.4, at least. --RDM
Image objects have a tag method for setting all the HTML tags: Try something like (untested): <dtml-var "yourimageID.tag(align='right')"> ... or tested (from one of my sites): <dtml-var "ClearDot.tag(width='25')"> -- HTH -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Babbey" <terry@lambton.on.ca> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: July 12, 2000 12:24 PM Subject: [Zope] Aligning Images With Text

Hi, I was able to install and test the ZBabel product. Very nice product indeed!! I have a question about performance.. I saved the translated text into an MySQL database, and ZBabel automatically inserted the text to be translated into the database, I went ahead and translated the text, and bingo it magically appeared as translated. However my concern that if the page is accessed by thousands of people, does Zope cache the translated text and serve it? does ZBabel do that? or is there a way to do that? I do not want to hit the database everytime someone requests that page.. Our site is usually translated to 5 languages and we had developed a Perl script that would read php tags and create static pages becuase of that problem, and in this case we do not know at all what happend in eth backend..

If you are passing query_string parameters into your page you will not be able to cache the pages anyway.

I'm currently pounding the bricks.

For non-cacheable pages that can't be speeded up by a reverse proxy, there might be two other possibilities worth looking at as well. If Zbabel is mainly needed for the production/maintenance of translations rather than for really dynamic pages it might be possible to use ZMirror for semi-static per language templates generated by ZBabel that get combined dynamically with the dynamic non-translated bits. For really dynamic translations, if the database hits are still too much for some users, despite being read only and therefore usually in buffers, it might be possible to copy the maintenance ZBabel database stored in a persistent SQL database from the management screens into a RAM Gadfly database used by the actual page generation. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Andrew Kenneth Milton Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 10:31 AM To: technews@egsx.com Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] ZBabel performance?? +----[ technews@egsx.com ]--------------------------------------------- | Hi, | | I was able to install and test the ZBabel product. | Very nice product indeed!!
