hello, i'm new to zope, cps, and python, and i have to correct some problems on a customer's platform:
---- Zope Version (Zope 2.9.4-final, python 2.4.4, linux2) Python Version 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 15 2008, 23:43:20) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] System Platform linux2 SOFTWARE_HOME /ZOPE/Binaries_v2-9-4/lib/python ZOPE_HOME /ZOPE/Binaries_v2-9-4 INSTANCE_HOME /ZOPE/Instances_v2-9-4/ZCLIENT1 CLIENT_HOME /ZOPE/Instances_v2-9-4/ZCLIENT1/var Network Services ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8080) ---- CPS Last upgraded version 3.4.0 Default portal charset iso-8859-15 ---- here's the problem: when a user fills a form to create an object, with some latin characters in the title, it returns that message: ...... Module Products.PluginIndexes.common.UnIndex, line 221, in insertForwardIndexEntry UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 31: ordinal not in range(128) ...... i first thought that the problem was in Products.PluginIndexes.common.UnIndex, so i modified the line 221 from: .... >indexRow = self._index.get(entry, _marker) .... to: .... >indexRow = self._index.get(toUTF8(entry), _marker) .... but the error was still there then someone told me to work on data directly after the POST of the form, i then found the class CPSStringWidget in BasicWidgets.py and modified the code of the 'validate' method from: .... >datamodel[self.fields[0]] = v .... to: .... > if isinstance(v, unicode): > fvalue = str(v.encode("iso8859-15")) > else: > fvalue = str(v) > datamodel[self.fields[0]] = fvalue .... i also tried this: ---- >datamodel[self.fields[0]] = toUTF8(v) ---- but still with no success the method toUTF8 is as below: ---- >def toUTF8(s): > if not isinstance(s, unicode): > s = unicode(s, default_encoding) > return s.encode('utf-8') now i don't know where i can act to correct that problem. the error occurs only when using latin characters in title, there's no error whith latin characters in description for example. could anybody here bring some help? thx by advance alain scieur -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22UnicodeDecodeError%3A-%27ascii%27-codec-can%27t-decode-byte-...%22-tp20340022p20340022.html Sent from the cps-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ cps-devel mailing list http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/cps-devel
