Hi Casey,

I installed ZEE and get the external edit-icon on all items contained in a "normal Folder". But since I working a lot with ZPatterns, most of my items are contained in ZPatterns specialists. How do I enable ZEE support for other containers ?

It currently supports objects that have the methods: document_src, manage_FTPget and read. What is the method to get the content of these objects? I can add it to the methods names that are checked and tried. I don't want to get those objects, the little pencil does not show up behind zpts or dtml-method contained in such a folder, I can invoke the editor with

http://zopeserver/Specialist/externalEdit_/document thought, but the pencil, does not show behind document.

Actually I think I misunderstood the question. In order to make this work you need to change the managment screen (manage_main) for that object.

Take a look at how the __init__.py in the product does this. The lines to include in the management screen start on line 136 of the manage_main.dtml in the product.

I think it has no own, it takes the standard objectmanager manage_main may I simply replace this ?

hth,

Casey

Yes, just replace it with the one from the in the ExternalEditor product. Make a backup first, tho just in case.

Hi, Casey This is a Truly Masterful Product! Thanks! I've done some work to make it work (for me) in other places, and it appears that the link code: <dtml-let explicit="_.getitem('sequence-item').aq_explicit"> <dtml-if expr="_.hasattr(explicit, 'manage_FTPget') or _.hasattr(explicit, 'read') or _.hasattr(explicit, 'document_src')"> <a href="&dtml-URL1;/externalEdit_/&dtml.url_quote-sequence-key;" title="Edit using external editor" ><img src="&dtml-BASEPATH1;/misc_/ExternalEditor/edit_icon" align="middle" hspace="2" border="0" alt="External Editor" /></a> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> will be reused over and over. I was wondering whether you might consider in the future factoring the link code into a separate DTML method so that it can be obtained by acquisition. That way, the code would reside once in e.g., ObjectManager; and then OrderedFolder, FindSupport, etc. could acquire it by using e.g., <dtml-var external_editor_link> instead of a full copy of the link code. Just a suggestion. -- Jim Washington

And one always finds a problem right after publishing, right? The link calculation needs to be something like <a href= "<dtml-var expr="explicit.absolute_url()[:explicit.absolute_url().rfind('/')]">/externalEdit_/<dtml-var expr="explicit.getId()">" if you want it to work everywhere in FindSupport. URL1 is relative to the folder you are finding from, and the link needs to be where the object is. -- Jim Washington

After looking at that, one word comes to mind: ohmygod!

Hows about: aq_inner.aq_parent.absolute_url()?

I think I'll try that on for size instead. ;^)

Thanks for pointing this out though.

Yup, of course, that was what I really meant :P And it works fine. Now I am trying to figure out why I get Attribute Error when I click to ExternalEdit an object inside a ZClass. Yippee! -- Jim

Thanks a lot! I will go ahead and check this in. -Casey On Friday 24 May 2002 05:16 pm, Jim Washington wrote:

Found it. ExternalEditor Class:

def index_html(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE): """Publish the object to the external editor helper app"""

security = getSecurityManager() #previously-used line #ob = getattr(self.aq_parent, REQUEST['target']) #this works parent = self.aq_parent try: ob = parent[REQUEST['target']] except AttributeError: ob = parent.propertysheets.methods[REQUEST['target']] #end new code if not security.checkPermission('View management screen', ob): raise 'Unauthorized' ...

It works inside ZClasses, on ZClasses/FindTab, and everywhere else I have looked.
