Hello, with the help of Dieter Maurer and Oliver Bleutgen , (thank you very much for your detailed and helpfull explanations), I was able to enhance load_site.py to upload files with extension ".zpt" as zope page templates. In a copy of load_site.py ( load_site_fiz.py) I added the two functions below: def upload_zpt(object, f): import ZPublisher.Client # verbose = 4 # aktivate prints for test dir, name = os.path.split(f) myurl = "%s/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_addPageTemplate" % object.url if verbose > 3: print "myurl='%s'\n" % myurl # create zope page template with standard content call_client(myurl, username=object.username, password=object.password, id=name, title='', text=f) # upload real content into zope page template just created f = open(f, 'rb') try: ZPublisher.Client.call("%s/%s/pt_upload" % (object.url, name), username=object.username, password=object.password, file=f) except ServerError, v: if str(v)[:1] != '3': raise sys.exc_info()[0], sys.exc_info()[1], sys.exc_info()[2] def call_client(url, username=None, password=None, **kw): import ZPublisher.Client try: apply(ZPublisher.Client.Function(url,username=username, password=password), (), kw) except ServerError, v: if str(v)[:1] != '3': raise sys.exc_info()[0], sys.exc_info()[1], sys.exc_info()[2] With kind regards, Juergen Berger

hello,

I am still trying to enhance load_site.py to create zope page template files for files with suffix .zpt .

Dieter Maurer has suggested to use Client.call

Use 'Client.call("%s/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_addPageTemplate" % URL_TO_OBJECT, id=name, title='', text=f)'

therefore I changed function upload_zpt:

def upload_zpt(object, f): import ZPublisher.Client

dir, name = os.path.split(f) f=open(f)

ZPublisher.Client.call("%s/manage_addProduct/PageTemplates/manage_addPageTemplate" % object.url, username=object.username, password=object.password, id=name, title='', text=f)

if verbose: print 'in upload_zpt end of function'

I tried to upload file: test35.zpt to URL: http://a7dsid1:8040/Testordner where "Testordner" is a normal zope folder.

object.url is: http://a7dsid1:8040/Testordner id is: test35.zpt

But I have got some strange results: 1.) a zope page template file http://a7dsid1:8040/Testordner/test35.zpt was created, but a error was raised ( see trace below)

This is an easy one. This error is due to the fact that you do a call like a webbrowser. Therefore manage_addTemplate gets a REQUEST variable passed, and most, if not all, "through the web callable" methods in zope contain something like:

if REQUEST is not None: [return a redirect to another page]

Because it doesn't get a 200 response, ZPublisher.Client raises an exception. Look at the call() method of load_site to see how they handle this (they ignore exceptions caused by 3xy responses) and just copy the code.

...

2.) the content of http://a7dsid1:8040/Testordner/test35.zpt is not the the content of file test35.zpt (It seems that Parameter text=f is ignored.) but a standard zope page template instead:

This is because manage_addPageTemplate handling of the uploaded file is slightly different from e.g. addDTMLMethod. manage_addPageTemplate forces you to upload a File (in the sense of a <input type="File"...> form tag (maybe because it needs information about the content type?), while addDTMLMethod also works when text is just a string. Look in the source of lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/ZopePageTemplate.py for manage_addPageTemplate for more infos.

So the best might be to first add the zpt as you do, and afterwards call it's edit method to upload your text content, unfortunately I'm not experienced in ZPTs. From a glance at the source, maybe it suffices to call

ZPublisher.Client.call("%s/%s/pt_upload" % (object.url, name), username=object.username, password=object.password, file=f)

after you added the ZPT. Don't forget to catch any 3xy responses again.

HTH, oliver
