Re: [Zope] RE: Blobs in Interbase
Hi Ashley, One down, one to go. I've used this adapter with Interbase 6.0 with no problems, although I've since upgraded to Firebird. Perhaps you could send the error traceback you get, we could get some clues from that. Also, the metadata from the table that shows the problem. It's got to be in there somewhere. Bob Corriher CTO P-Wave Inc. Ashley Lloyd wrote: Bob, you're a star! I unpacked it, restarted Zope, and there it was! Marvellous, I've now got a kinterbase installed that works. Thats the good news. The bad news is I still can't update the blob field - I still get errors. I think, unless anyone here has any more ideas, I'll have to go and bother people in another mailing list. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of - sqlvar tags of type string and nb, trying cast(... as blob) in the sql (doesn't seem to work), I've even just tried setting it to 'Hello world', without using any dtml variables at all, and it won't accept it. From what I've read elsewhere, there are tools in some software (mostly for Delphi I believe), that will allow updates of text blob fields, so I was hoping that kinterbasdb had something in it as well, but if it does, it isn't working on mine!! The interbase version is 6.0-6.1, if that jogs any memories for anyone. Thanks once again to everyone who has tried to help me. Kind regards Ashley Ashley Lloyd wrote: Hi Bob, If you don't mind doing that, I'd really appreciate it. Nothing I seem to be trying to install at the moment seems to be working. As with Phil, mine is from a Plone install, but I have got other versions of Python elsewhere, (I think there's even an old Zope standalone instance still lurking somewhere, altho I don't think it can run) just to confuse matters. Anyway, my Zope is even older - 2.6.1, so hopefully it'll be compatible. Thanks very much again for your help.

[Zope] Blobs in Interbase
Hi Ashely, I use Interbase (and Firebird) in Zope regularly and I just use the regular ZSQL Method syntax for blob fields: dtml-sqlvar name=blob_fld type=nb to update the field.If the field may be left null, I usually use something like this in the ZSQL Method: dtml-if blob_fld dtml-sqlvar name=blob_fld type=nb dtml-else null /dtml-if Apply commas at the end (or beginning) of the dtml-sqlvar and null if necessary. This should work for Interbase from version 4.x thru Interbase 6.x and for all versions of Firebird. If you need further help, just email me (and the list). Also, there is a Zope-DB list for discussing Zope and RDBMS issues and the real gurus hang out there. HTH Bob Corriher CTO P-Wave Inc. Ashley wrote: Hi bobb, thanks for your reply. If I found the right post (reading an image from blob in mysql and displaying it), then thanks very much but I don't think it'll apply too much to my situation. I can retrieve the contents of the blob field fine, its updating it that causes the problems. Thanks again, though. I posted directly out of Outlook Express, by the way, just hitting New Post. Kind regards Ashley bobb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I posted some stuff I was doing some time ago w/ mysql / blobs and zope some time ago so that my grandchildren could google for it :)... if you goggle for zope mysql blob bobb you'll get it. It's not interbase. hth bobb Also, your post came through as a newsgroup posting, which means I had to cut / paste / finagle the whole thing to reply... It's the first time I've ever seen that (I use m$ outlook express) How are you posting to here? (curious, that's all) Ashley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, if not, my apologies. I've got a Clients table in an interbase db with various fields, one of which is a BLOB field (subtype text), used to maintain some notes. When inserting a Client into the table, this field populates fine. However, when attempting to update the client, for some reason, it won't. It just will not allow me to do an update with the notes field in the statement. I've googled around, and found lots of bits helping with Delphi, and lots of statements that BLOB fields in Interbase are tricky to update, but nothing that helps. Has anyone out there found a way around this? I'm using currently using gvib as my database adaptor, as kinterbase does not seem to want to install at all (seemingly problems with ldap ..).

RE: [Zope] how to include Flash/SWF objects in Zope website?
Hi Fred, We use Flash in most of the sites we develop with Zope. We just upload the swf file into a File object and call it from the index_html method as follows: HTML HEAD TITLEsplashpage/TITLE /HEAD BODY bgcolor="#FF" !-- URL's used in the movie-- !-- text used in the movie-- CENTER OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-44455354" codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" ID=splashpage WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="splashpage.swf" PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FF EMBED src="splashpage.swf" loop=false quality=high bgcolor=#FF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"/EMBED /OBJECT /CENTER /BODY /HTML The File object is named splaspage.swf, but the extension is not necessary. It could have been called splashpage or anything else. Hope this helps.
