You can also do the following:

dtml-var "RandomGretting.Greet(_.None, _)"

  Sorry if you happen to see this for the third time, I have been trying
  to post this on egroups, but have failed on several occasions.
  
  Hi,
  Zope newbie here, a bit lost on namespaces...
  
  I have created a folder in the zope root called "RandomGreeting".  
  Inside this folder, there is one DTML METHOD called "Greet".  "Greet" 
  contains the following line:
  
  pdtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(sayHellos)"/p
  
  "sayHellos" is a property of the "RandomGreeting" folder, and 
  contains 4 lines which are various ways to say 
  hello : "Ola","Hi","Bonjour","Sawasdi".  The purpose of this method
  is to print out a random greeting.
  
  Everytime i click "View" for this DTML Method, i get a random hello.  
  Fine, that is exactly what I want.
  
  The problem is that I am trying to use this "method" from its parent 
  folder (the root folder as a matter of fact).  I have inserted the 
  following bit into the top level "index_html" DTML Method of my Zope 
  root near the begining, so that it produces a random hello on the 
  front page everytime someone accesses it.
  
  I have tried :
  dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet
  dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet()
  dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet()"
  dtml-var /RandomGreeting/Greet
  
  all of these, to know avail.  I am getting either a NameError or 
  KeyError.  I am pretty sure I'm missing a simple concept here. It is 
  possible to call functions from child objects is it not? 
  
  Please help with some enlightenment.  Many thanks in advance.

RE: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?

2001-01-17 Thread James Sintz

Ausum,

It may be time to re-think your site structure. I have a news type site as
well and here is how I handle it (my way... not saying it is by any means
the best or right way).

Instead of storing your news items in a series of folderish objects, maybe
create folders for each section and then create a news item ZClass with the
article date or goLiveDate as the ID.

zopesite:8080/sports/2000.10.17/newsobjectid_htm 

Then do some dtml to pull out the ones you want on the main
"sport/thislist_htm" page.
Better yet use ZCatalog to search for the range of news items you want to
appear in the list.

Hope this helps!!

Jamey Sintz

 Subject:  [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in
 Zope's tree?
 
 Few days ago there was this same question although remained unsolved.
 This is the case for a news site: 
 
 News objects are within section folders, within day folders, within
 months, and within a year folder. Just like this, at the root:
 
 http://zopesite:8080/2000/October/17/sports/newsobjectid_htm
 
 If I were at, ie, root/2001/January/thislist_htm , how can I list(and
 retrieve) sport news appeared from October 29th to November 10th in year
 2000? Is it time to look for a database?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 
 Ausum

RE: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?

2001-01-17 Thread James Sintz

Right off the top of my head, since the sections are folder objects you
could simply dtml-in through the folders and then inbed another dtml-in.

Example (nothing fancy). 

I did not include any date range stuff, but you can probably figure that out
on your own. It may be better to include a 'section' property in your zClass
and then just search your Catalog (see catalog example below for an UNTESTED
example).

dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"
  dtml-var name_or_idbr
  !-- now use the folder id to move into the correct namespace --
   dtml-with id
 !-- news stories here --
   dtml-in "objectValues(['newItems'])"
   dtml-var headlinebr
   dtml-var summarybr
   /dtml-in
 br
   /dtml-with
   br
/dtml-in

Catalog example

dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"
  dtml-var name_or_idbr

   dtml-in "Catalog( { 'meta_type' : 'newsItem', 
'section' :  id,
'goLiveDate' : [ 2000/27/12 , 2001/05/01], 
'goLiveDate_usage' : 'range:min:max' } )" 
   dtml-var headlinebr
   dtml-var summarybr
  /dtml-in 
   br
/dtml-in

 Thanks for the tip, James. It seems a clever approach although I must
 keep it for the time being.
 Anyway if that were the case, the question could be this one:
 
 How can I list all the headlines and summaries for all the news appeared
 for sports, locals and politics sections (in example) from December
 27th,2000 and January 5th, 2001 ?

RE: [Zope] Re: EMarket 0.1.04b1

2001-01-09 Thread James Sintz

Steve,

I think that may be what I'm missing. I don't see any way to add MarketItems
from within the marketItems folder. The only form is
ShopperMarketItemAddForm which doesn't seem to let me actually add
MarketItems and always returns the following message "You must be validated
for submission first..." no matter who I am logged in as (Zope manager or
EMartket Shopper).

Is a ShopperMarketItem the same as a MarketItem?

I'm aware that more effort is being put into 0.2 for obvious reasons so I
don't want to take up too much more of your time. I just really don't need
the power of the ZPattern version nor do I want to waste time trying to get
ZPatterns installed. I have tried a few of the other e-commerce products and
EMartet seems to have the best mix of simplicity and power.

Thanks!!

Jamey

[Zope] ZCatalog and dates

2000-11-28 Thread James Sintz


I have a ZCatalog set up to index a date field and a title field.

When I do a search for meta_type "news" I get a tabular list back of all 18
cataloged items showing, among other things the date field (goLiveDate) and
the title field.

If I do a search for both meta_type of "news" a date of 2000/11/16 in the
goLiveDate field the results page returns "There was no data matching this
Catalog query". Yet when I do a search for the meta_type of "news" alone I
see that indeed the Catalog contains 2 entries with 2000/11/16 in the
goLiveDate field.

Why doesn't it find any entries when I search by date?

RE: [zope] Help!!! (was: sudden ZClass breakage)

2000-11-16 Thread James Sintz

My ZClass is broken, but only in Zope 2.2.2 why?

I exported my ZClass and imported it into a Zope 2.2.0 installation and it
works GREAT. I figured, some how, I must have really screwed up my 2.2.2
installation so I removed it off my server. I then downloaded and installed
2.2.2 again, installed all the products that I use (same products on the
2.2.0 server) and then imported my ZClass. I tried to add an instance and it
errors out with "Invalid Date-Time String" again. What is up???

Could some Zope power user fill me in? Why would the same ZClass work fine
in 2.2.0 and not work in 2.2.2?

HELP!!!

false. What obvious mistake am I making?

Ideally I would like the page to show only the newsletter that has the same
date as today's date.

RE: [Zope] dtml-if and dtml-with problems

2000-11-16 Thread James Sintz

Thanks

that did the trick...

dtml-if "_.str(nl_goLiveDate) == ZopeTime().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')"

also found out that 

dtml-if "nl_goLiveDate.strftime('%Y/%m/%d') ==
ZopeTime().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')"

works as well.

 If your nl_goLiveDate is a date, then you might need to str() the variable
 dtml-if "_.str(nl_goLiveDate)=='2000/11/16'"

  Could someone tell me why the follow statement is never true.
 
  dtml-in "news.objectValues(['newsLetters'])" sort="nl_goLiveDate"
   dtml-if "nl_goLiveDate == '2000/11/16'"
 h2dtml-var nl_subject - dtml-var nl_goLiveDate/h2

  dtml-var nl_body fmt=structured-text

RE: [zope] sudden ZClass breakage

2000-11-10 Thread James Sintz

Only seen a couple of posts on this and the suggested fixes did NOT work.

My ZClass was working fine until I added a new string type property and now
my date type property seems broken. At least broken when I attempt creating
an instance via my custom add form. If I add an instance via the management
screen it works fine. I have gone as far as scrapping my custom form and
rebuilding it. I can't see any reason why I would be getting "Invalid
Date-Time String", especially when it was working fine. 

I'm happy post my code if that will help.

Any ideas??

Jamey

 Hi everyone, I've been working away on a ZClass-based 
 product that will provide a searchable job board for 
 our Human Resources Dept. here at school. Things were 
 going along fine until, it seemed, out of the blue I 
 started getting an error message about an "Invalid 
 Date-Time String" and a lengthy traceback. I'm wondering 
 if anyone can glean anything from the traceback. Is 
 this one of those obvious errors that I'm just 
 missing? I'm really puzzled. Any advice would be 
 appreciated.

[Zope] calendar help (newbie)

2000-11-08 Thread James Sintz

I want to use the Calendar Tag product to display the subject of my daily
newsletters (newsletter archive), but there are no examples of how to
display anything other than propval stuff. I would like the calendar to show
the subject for each day and link to the newsletter but only show
newsletters prior to or equal to today's date (I create most of them weeks
in advance).

The newsletters are created with a zclass and have a subject, goLiveDate and
body fields.

Anyone have example of how to do something like this?

Thanks!!

Jamey

[Zope] importing data

2000-11-07 Thread James Sintz

I have created a simple zclass product for a web based newsletter. Each
day's newsletter is input into a form and added into the ZODB as instances
of this newsletter zclass. My question is... how do I import 2 years worth
of newsletters from tab delimited files exported from another database?

I searched the archives and how-to section and could not find the answer. Is
this possible to do?

Thanks!!

Jamey
