I modify utils.py, after saving a copy, in order to obtain diagnostic output.

Thank you Phillip. I modified the zope.conf file as you suggested and did sudo ./zope stop ... usual msg sudo ./zope start ... usual msg Then generated the error. The error log shows the same output as before. Not only should the line number be one higher, I also put a dummy variable name on that line to generate a stupid error msg.

Re: [Zope] Newbie question: adding a tinyTables objec
If a product contains only a Help object, it means that the product is a Python Product, rather than a ZClass Product. No broken box in front of the Product name, hmm... Does Zope raise any errors when you try to start it? Try to remove the whole TinyTable folder and reinstall it again after having had a second look in the INSTALL or README docs. If there are any. Don't give up my friend! No, that's the problem. The icon isn't a broken box, but a regular product icon. Clicking on the link shows that there's one item in TinyTablesPlus, a Help document; when I open that, it tells me that there are no items in TinyTablesPlus. So Zope seems to be seeing the product, but not adding a TinyTable to the list of Available Objects. Is there some setting that I need to change? Sorry to be so dense.

Re: [Zope] Newbie question, help with navigation method
Richard Blumberg writes: Navigation works when called directly, does not work when included in "index_html" Navigation: dtml-in objectValues Is this a bug in Zope, or am I doing something wrong? Not directly. Almost surely, your "index_html" is a DTML document. A DTML document defines the method "objectValues" and it returns the empty list. One *might* think of this as a bug or a feature. (I tend to think of it as a bug). In a DTML document (unlike a DTML method), the object is pushed on top of the namespace stack. Therefore, the "objectValues" in your navigation object is the "objectValues" of the "index_html" and it returns "[]". If you would make your "index_html" a DTML method, then "objectValues" would be the method of the object for which the method is called for. This means your folder. And it would work.

Re: [Zope] newbie question: Redirect from Python?
You need to be careful when redirecting from an external Python wotsit. RESPONSE.redirect raises an exception which can make the transaction get rolled back. This seems not to happen when called from dtml but I've seen it happen from an external Python wotsit. Note: My use of wotsit above in no way has a bearing on the new name for the Python Methods/ZMethods/Script or whatever the hell they are called now. ;) Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Paul Winkler" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Zope mailing list" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 6:26 PM Subject: [Zope] newbie question: Redirect from Python? | I want the user to be sent to a particular URL after calling the | product's manage_add method.

In the News folder is a DTML method called news999. Should it be a

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I know that the DTML reference is there on Zope.org but it's a hassle and well, I'll keep my other opinions for myself. Anyway. Here's an idea. Shouldn't there be a list FAQ? If there is one it should be sent when subscribing. Or it could be requested. I'm pretty sure most of the questions I sent have already been sent answered more than once already and I know some that most other FAQs use one. So, why not zope general list?

object and then do something with that value, but I can't do the bit I need
to do at the point of reading the count variable because I am in the wrong
namespace.
I can't begin a dtml-let because I would need to close dtml-if before
dtml-let, which is not allowed.
dtml-in objectValues
dtml-if sequence-end
dtml-var count-id !-- this is the value I want to use --
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
!-- this is the scope in which I want to do something with the value. --
try (untested):
dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('countids', _.len(objectValues())"
dtml-in objectValues
dtml-if sequence-end
dtml-var countids
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
!-- do something with the value. --
What is the "accepted" way of passing a value into a different scope? Do I
have do a REQUEST.set or is there a tidier way?
dtml-let
Also I think I read somewhere that you can use the object.subobject or
object.property syntax but I never got that to work, what's the catch?
dtml-var expr="object.subobject"
note that this is a Python expression and the code between quotes has
Python behaviour.
One last thing, I sent a couple of mails to the list about problems I had
with manage_delObjects. I still haven't got it to work. Since the best way
to learn Zope is by example, I wonder if anyone could direct me to a sample
piece of code where a container of some sort deletes one of its children
subobjects?
try (untested):
dtml-call "subobject.manage_delObjects([id1, id2, ..])"

Thanks Max, that is certainly useful in this case.
My query is really more general though, that was just an example, I need to
know what the generally accepted method is for transferring values through
the code (i.e between namespaces)
IMHO as far as Zope documentation goes, the thing that is really lacking is
a document introducing people to how to program in Zope, explaining the
overlaps between Python and Zope/DTML and explaining the different syntaxes
for calling variables, methods etc? There are a lot of references on
specific functions, methods etc but no general overview. Maybe the
forthcoming Zope book will address this better.
I am also still looking for example code using manage_delObjects.
Thanks,
Alex

Re: [Zope] Newbie question : ZopeTime permissions
Yes, it was a misunderstanding regarding basic user permissions and the Anonymous role on my part. I did not want to allow the Anonymous role *any* permissions, and the site I am working in is contained in a folder beneath the root Zope folder. The problem was that I had disabled the "Access contents information" privilege for the Anonymous user (whose permissions I forgot are inherited by all other users) at the root level, thus preventing Joe User from being able to access internals(?) like ZopeTime even if [it] had permissions at a sub-directory level. If I've got it wrong, I would be grateful if someone would correct me. Otherwise, I hope that helps other newbies who find themselves in a similar situation.

Sorry, I was wrong, at least partially! The fact, that "ZopeTime" returns an unprotected DateTime object, does of cause not mean that "ZopeTime" itself is unprotected. After your message, I reexamined your problem: * "ZopeTime" is defined in "OFS.Application.Application", i.e. the top level application object. * "ZopeTime" apparently is not protected by an explicit permission (neither mentioned in an "__ac_permissions__" nor is there a "ZopeTime__roles__" attribute nor is there a new SecurityManager assertion about "ZopeTime". As I understand Zope 2.2 security, this should mean "ZopeTime" is inaccessible from DTML. * However, magically, "ZopeTime" is protected by "Access Contents Information". I can not tell you why. Both is astonishable: * that it is accessible by DTML at all * why "Access Contents Information" is required. Apparently, the Zope security still has some hidden magic.

Re: [Zope] Newbie question: FORM processing in Zope.
Easy and hard answer. The easy answer is forget what you know about scripts/cgi and pulling in form variables from some sort of CGI method (perl module). Since Zope is a constant running process it does not require that you point to a script. Hard Answer: The basics are that all you have to do is give the form element a name (as you would in any form) and point the action of the form to another DTML Method/Document. In that M/D all you have to do to get the variable is call it with DTML-VAR variable_name 1) Create a form page with 'submit' with one text input box with a name of 'email_address'. 2) Point the action to a method called 'result' and create that 3) In the 'result' method include this code dtml-var email_address 4) Play around. When you submit from one you should be taken to the second page and the email_address should be there. Now, for validation you can do all sorts of tricky things. I happen to like to have the form point back to itself and have one method handle the entire activity. You can validate things by asking for them, or trying to do something else like put them into a database/email. If they are not there you will get an error so you can use dtml-try. What makes Zope great is that I can have the form and function in the same page (easier to update/check). Examples: (these are live and in production so please be kind) http://fundraising.gotschool.com/tell_a_friend.html http://market.gotschool.com/ (click on register for either school or supplier and notice how the form is different for both).

Re: [Zope] Newbie question: FORM processing in Zope.
A great resource for newbies is the collection of How-To's http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To (or better yet: http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/tips/howto_list where you can use browser search to find what you need). Search for "forms" and you will see, for example: http://www.zope.org/Members/jules/smarterforms_html In short, the methods of Zope objects are all "CGI scripts". For the "action" of a form, you supply the url of a form-handling method of some Zope object you have created. When that method runs, form fields are stored in the dictionary (hash, to you) that implements the namespace for the request. You access them as simple DTML variables: e.g. dtml-var form_field_name If you want to send the value of that form field on to another form, you do it much the same as in Perl -- you code a hidden form field and assign it the value dtml-var form_field_name. -- Hope that helps -- Loren - Original Message - From: "Amit Redij" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 28, 2000 04:45 AM Subject: [Zope] Newbie question: FORM processing in Zope. hi, I am a Perl/CGI programmer, trying out Zope.

Error Type: SuperCannotOwn Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser The Content Manager Guide still describes the world before Zope 2.2. For some reason (that I do not understand), DC descided that, starting with Zope 2.2.0, the SuperUser is no longer Super but instead rather limited. He cannot own objects and therefore, he cannot create objects. What you need to do: As SuperUser go to "acl_users". Create a new user with a role of "Manager". Close your browser (all windows!). Recontact Zope (in a fresh browser!) as your newly created Manager. Use this manager, whenever your guide speaks of "SuperUser".

It isn't even that page counters are all that important to me, it's that I feel that if I can't even do something this simple, what hope do I have doing something really hard? The ZODB is a _really_ bad place to store a page counter, especially on a busy site. Data.fs will grow each time your counter increments. This is because it's a transactional daatbase with undo ability... Here's what I've done.

Whoops, just remember this: DTML is not a programming language, it is designed for data presentation and form processing.
