[Zope] load_site.py and zpt files

[jbr@FIZ-Karlsruhe.DE]

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
