[Zope] File referencing and LocalFS

2000-07-05 Thread Spicklemire, Jerry 

Hi Rogerio

1)Folders names are directly related to string fields 
in a MySQL database which use spaces between words (eg 
New York), but folders names don't use spaces (eg 
NewYork). How can I skip spaces from database fields to 
make them refer to these folders (eg New York -- 
NewYork)?

I python it's just :

foldername = string.join(colname, '')

using a "blank" ('') between each string, in other words, with no delimiter.

So, in Zope it's something like :

dtml-call "REQUEST.set('foldername',_.string.join(colname, ''))"

assuming you've already assigned "colname" from a ZSQL Method.

2)Using LocalFS, can I do something like dtml-
var "localfsObject['dtml-var par1'].['dtml-var 
par11'], where par1 and par11 are folder names (after 
skiping spaces)?

According to the Local FS docs*, this would be :

dtml-var "localfsObject['par1']['par11']"

Keep in mind that inside a dtml tag you can refer to objects by name, 
without redundant dtml tags, and even without the quotes, 
if you're not calling a method of the object :

dtml-var localfsObject

Good Luck,
Jerry S.

Maybe you meant

foldername = string.join(string.split(colname,' '),'')

or

foldername = string.replace(colname,' ','')

because join takes a list, not a string.

Yes, you are correct!


Later,
Jerry S.

 1)Folders names are directly related to string fields

 NewYork). How can I skip spaces from database fields to
 make them refer to these folders (eg New York --
 NewYork)?

_.string.replace(folder_name, " ", "")

This will return a string with the spaces removed, if 'folder_name' is a string
variable containing the folder name (with spaces).


 2)Using LocalFS, can I do something like dtml-
 var "localfsObject['dtml-var par1'].['dtml-var
 par11'], where par1 and par11 are folder names (after
 skiping spaces)?

You can't nest dtml like this. Just use:

dtml-var "localfsObject[par1][par11]"

(also note that I removed the . between [par1] and [par11])

See http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/HowTo/DTML_with_LocalFS
for more information on using DTML with Local File System objects.
