Re: [Zope] ZOPE, Xemacs, html-mode, & indentation

2000-06-07 Thread jiva

Bob:

You are 100% correct.  I didn't want to write a DTD for dtml (though
this is probably the "right" solution) so instead I went searching for 
other options.  Here's what I found:

If you use hm--html-mode, there's a variable called:
hm--html-tag-name-alist where I added some definitions for
dtml. (basically I just added dtml-in and a multi tag and dtml-var as
a single tag).  Then, I set up xemacs to use hm--html-mode for the
dtml stuff.  To do the indentation with hm--html-mode then, you have
to hilight the area you want indented, then hit TAB.  Problem solved!
And now I have beautifully indented dtml docs!!

If anyone wants a copy of what I put in my .emacs for the
tag-name-alist.  Let me know.

[Zope] Re: import-export

2000-06-07 Thread gresham

Ok, after poking around in the code and debug (!) I finally realized that
the ID being passed to manage_exportObject is not the filename, but the id
of the object to export.

So a couple of examples to clarify:
to export a folder from the top level (root), you can do two things:
1. Check the checkbox and click the Export... button near the bottom of the
screen. This will open the import/export form with the id already filled
in. Simply click Export.
2. Click import/export at the top of the screen and type the name of the
Folder (or other object) you wish to export, then click Export.

You should recieve some positive confirmation telling you the filename.
This will create a file called var/ObjectName.zexp (ObjectName being the
name of the folder or object you chose)

So how do I export everything from root? Ok .. this is a real bugger, I
can't believe it's taken me so long to figure it out (I was first checking
file permissions etc).

Answer:
Make sure you are in the root folder and then click the Export... button
near the bottom of the screen. LEAVE THE ID BLANK and click Export.

Again a positive confirmation will appear telling you have just created a
file var/.zexp - of course I don't need to remind you (but I will) that the
.zexp file will be hidden on Unix machines as are all . prefixed files.

I think that is hardly intuitive but doesn't seem to cause too many
problems as I couldn't find any posts about it .. Has this just happened in
a recent release, I know some workings to do with XML Exports were added?? 
The help text on the import/export form reads

"You can export Zope objects to a file in order to transfer them to a
different Zope installation. You can either choose to download the export
file to your local machine, or save it in the "var" directory of your Zope
installation on the server."

I think this is very misleading and recommend changing it.

[Zope] News tickers

2000-06-07 Thread Oleg Broytmann

Hello!

   I'm looking for News Products (yes, I know KM News :). I need a news
ticker with the followin features:
   -- rubrics in news item - one item can belong to few rubrics (it is news
  item about both Zope and Python, e.g)
   -- one customizeable interface for entering news items in different
  rubrics
   -- few different customizeable interfaces for viewing every rubric
   -- SQL storage (SQL seems much more natural storage for news items than
  ZODB)
   -- export to RDF/RSS

   I am not in hurry, I'll write such Product myself if I couldn't find one
ready.

   Also I'm looking a Product to import RDF/RSS files - I rememeber seeing
it somewhere.

Probably Mozilla missing something. M16 is still in development, I assume you
took a nightly. And with all nightlies, there are big bugs in there,
regressions, instabilities. They are being ironed out, when M16 comes out it
should work again.

Re: [Zope] Mozilla problem

2000-06-07 Thread Anthony Baxter


If you're on Linux, there's some godawful problems recently with 
the auth dialog. The last couple of days don't even bring up a 
dialog. 

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2000-06-05-08-M16/
works to the point of popping up a dialog, but to enter the password
you have to enter it into another window, copy it, and paste it into
the password box.

To get one that actually does auth properly on Linux, go back to late
April :(

Re: [Zope] (Database Recovery) Help: Weird KeyError with 2.2.0a1

2000-06-07 Thread Pete Kazmier

Is there any way to salvage any of my database?  I created a very cool
ZClass and I really don't want to start over from scratch.  Like I
said, I'm very new to Zope, but I did notice that I could just do a
'strings Data.fs' and pull out most of my custom DTML, but I was
hoping there would be an easier way.

It seems that most of the database is intact.  Does anyone have any
ideas?  Also, to help prevent this in the future, if I periodically
copy my Data.fs, what happens if I'm copying the database while Zope
is writing to it, will my copy not suffice as a recoverable database
in the event the database gets corrupted?

Thanks in advance,
Pete

[Zope] How to catch URL in DTMLDocuments/Methods

2000-06-07 Thread Ian Sparks

Hi,

As a Zope newbie I'm still not entirely sure about how to capture the URL as
Zope traverses the tree.

For instance, my site called with :

mysite.com/members/ian/preferences/10

"members" is a DTMLMethod or Document. What I want to do is trap the URL
once it has entered "members".

So inside "members" I want to do things like :

1. Get the next part of the url ("ian") and run an SQLMethod using this as a
parameter (calling SQLMethods I understand).
2. Get the part after that, "preferences" and pull in my "preferences" DTML
page from /templates/preferences, possibly passing it the next part of the
url "10" as a parameter to that DTML page.

The conceptual problem I have is that DTMLMethods/Documents don't have a
parameters tag like SQLMethods do, so I don't see how I can "trap" parts of
the URL like SQLMethods do and use them internally in my Method/Document.

I know I keep asking this type of question, please bear with me 'till I get
it!

Checkout the Tranyliser product/how-to(?) on zope.org and see if you can
chop off the broken bits...

Your packing the ZODB may make this not useful, but it's worth a try :(

Re: [Zope] How to catch URL in DTMLDocuments/Methods

There isn't an automatic way to do this; SQLMethods are specially written to
be traversable.  There are three (fairly complex) ways to do this that I can
think of:

1.  Subclass DTMLDocument and mix in the class SQLMethods use for
traversability.  Probably hard.

2.  Use a PythonMethod, and make one of its parameters 'traverse_subpath'.
Then you can traverse through this PythonMethod and use the parameter to do
what you want.  Not bad, but you need to know PythonMethods.

3.  Use a SiteAccess Access Rule on the folder, having it check to see if
the next object to be traversed is your DTMLMethod.  If so (and if the next
name doesn't start with 'manage'!) remove the rest of the traversal path and
store it in a REQUEST variable.  Not too bad, but SiteAccess is fragile (it
doesn't work with Zope 2.2a).

Cheers,

Evan @ digicool & 4-am

I installed DCOracle for a client using 8i.  The only thing I recall
having to do that wasn't in the instructions was getting a copy of
a Setup file that worked with 8i, which I found posted to one of
the Zope mailing lists.  Other than that the installation was pretty
simple, and the Zope part was completely trivial (install package,
create connector, create ZSQL query, and go...)

This was under Debian Linux.

I was going to implement this as a seperate PathHandler product for Zope
2.2 when the beta comes out.

someone has already sent me their alpha code for 2.1.x but it was
apparently unstable.

Zope's not too hot on this either what with index_html instead of
index.html the problem of "is /something' a 'file' or a 'folder' from
wget's point of view?"

IIRC, it currently would download a zope folder object as a single file
:(

I've also been bitten by this in Wiki's since links aren't generated
with absolute_url and so I sometimes get
/MyWikiFolder/OneWikiPage/AnotherWikiPage which throws up a nasty
__getitem__ exception (particularly in Netscape, which seems to like
appending / onto the end of FrontPage in the URL box...)

[Zope] Newbie question: graphics in subdirs

2000-06-07 Thread Randy Edwards

I'm going to rewrite my web site in dtml and am using the latest stable
Zope.  Well, I should say I'll rewrite it after I get over this infuriating
newbie problem I have. :-)
`
I'm trying to get Zope to display an image from a subdir.  I've whipped up a
simple dtml document called "test".  Test contains this:



This is the  Document.
Now show a graphic: 




   That references an image file in the root directory called logo.jpg. 
Everything works, it displays fine.

   However, I want to keep all of my commonly used image files in a
subdirectory called /images.  So I create a folder called "images", upload
another copy of logo.jpg into it, everything's fine.  I change the dtml in
the "test" document to be "".  And it doesn't
work, giving me an error message of:

Error Type: KeyError
Error Value: /images/logo.jpg

   Looking through the docs and tutorials I can't find anything on this --
and I know it's mindlessly simple.  Can someone whack me with a clue-bat? 
TIA.

 1. Don't use URL separators in dtml expressions. Use dots 2. You
shouldn't have used dots in the logo.jpg name as it confuses zope, look
below what that gets you ;-):



sorry 'bout that (untested, but should work)

[Zope] Q: Accessing ZSQL methods from Python

2000-06-07 Thread a . wacknitz

Hi all,

my question is what type or value is returned by a ZSQL method that is
invoked from Python?
Or, more precisely, how can I determine if a field contains a NULL value?
Sample code:

def myZSQLAccessFromPython(self, aParameter):
"""myZSQLAccessFromPython() returns a record set from a database
table."""
#Call the ZSQL method
rs = self.zsqlMethod(parameter=aParameter)
if len(rs) == 1:
#I expect exactly one result column
  if rs[0].field is not NULL:  <- How to code this?
rs[0].field == None does not work
Do_some_interesting_work()

TIA,
Andreas

Probably because a somewhat more intuitive (but not completely intuitive!)
method for copying the whole Zope tree is to just copy the Data.fs
file.  I know I never noticed the unobvious method for exporting the root
for that reason (that is, I never thought to try to do it).

[Zope] Zope Weekly News for June 7th

2000-06-07 Thread ethan mindlace fremen

This week's somewhat abbreviated ZWN includes Zope at
LinuxTag and the Open Source Convention, lots of
documentation progress, including a chat, a new home
for Zope Studio and more!
 
The opinions expressed in Zope Weekly news are solely the author's,
and not the opinions of Digital Creations, The Zope Community
at-large, or the Spanish Inquisition.

The Zope Weekly News now has a "permanent home",
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZWN.

And Now For Something Completely Different:

Coming Events

  LinuxTag

There will be a Zope booth at the "LinuxTag",
http://www.linuxtag.de
in Stuttgart, Germany from June 29th to July 2nd.
In addition to the booth that will be there for the 
whole conference, there will be 2 rooms available 
for talks and discussions on the business day, 
Thursday 29th.

We are still looking for people who want help 
organizing the conference, give some talks and 
attend the booth. Generally, it would also be great
to know who is planning to be at the conference.
Please send feedback to "Stephan Richter",
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
See "Zope at Linuxtag",
http://www.zope.org/Members/Linuxtag/
for the most up-to-date information.
  
  The Open Source Convention

   This "enormous convention",
   http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon2000/
   hosted by O'reilly, is shaping up to be pretty
   interesting.  Aside from the State of Python,
   given by Guido von Rossum, there's also going
   to be a "talk on the CERT Advisory",
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/w/evening_events.html
   about cross-site scripting, a web-wide security 
   issue that the Zope Community was among the first
   to begin implementing security policies for: they'll
   land with zope 2.2.
   
   Zope is going to be at the conference in force,
   with:
 
 - Paul "opening eyes to the Zope-Mozilla initiative",
   http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/e_sess/853
 
 - Ryan telling the world "you can have web
   IMAP and collaboration",
   http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/e_sess/725

 - Christopher, as always, concentrating
   on the "edification of the community",
   http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/w/python_tutorials.html

Documentation

   -- by Amos Lattier

 This Week

  * Stephan Richter finished reviewing, fixing, and expanding
  online help content for the Zope management screens.
  We hope to get him set up with CVS and get this checked
  in later this week or next week.

  In addition to brining the help content up to date, he is
  converting it to use Structured-Text. This will make editing
  help pages much easier and will eliminate the two step process
  of editing XML, rendering to HTML and then checking the HTML
  into CVS. This should make life much easier for the Zope team
  when they are documenting their work.

  * Amos released updated "Zope training material",
http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/TrainingSlidesAnnounce
that he and Michel Pelletier have been working on for
the past couple weeks.

  There are twenty slide presentations which cover such topics
  as DTML, application design, and developing Python products.

  Note: the PowerPoint slides are built by a Python script
  that reads Structured Text and talks to PowerPoint over COM - cool.

  * Michel and Amos participated in an IRC chat about
  documentation. A transcript of the chat "is availiable",
  http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Chats
  Thanks to everyone who participated and posed great
  questions. We even got a volunteer commitment out of
  the chat - way to go ZDP folks!

  * Amos is putting together a wiki that details all official Zope
  documentation projects, their schedules and status. Look for an
  announcement before the end of the week.
  We hope that this along with weekly ZWN summaries will give folks
  a much better idea of what were doing on the documentation front.

  * Michel is working on turning his in progress O'Reilly book on Zope
  into a piece of official Zope documentation. If all goes well the
  book will replace the current Guides. We are really excited about
  this and think that if we are successful that this will do a
  tremendous amount for Zope documentation.

 Next Week

  * We plan to complete and make public the Wiki that describes all
  official Zope documentation projects, their schedules and status.

  * We plan to focus on getting docs in shape for Zope 2.2 Specifically
  this means shoring up the help system docs, API docs, and tutorial.
  This all won't get done next week, but hopefully we can make some
  good progress and stay on track to have everything up to date for
  the 2.2 final release.
  If we are really fast we may even sneak a DTML reference into the
  Zope 2.2 final release.

  * Hopefully we will have final word on the status of converting Michel's
  Book into official documentation. That means we can start the process
  of making the Book public and opening it up to community critique and

You can use:


If you want the (1st) index of the item in list you must use something like



 
  
 No item 
 
 
  
 No item 
 



you have to use try because "list.index(item)" rise an exception
if the "item" is not in list..

If I have a REQUEST variable that equals a list, like this:

How would I get ITEM_NUMBER and PRICE into separate variables?

The following code gives me a screen full of the appropriate values (using an external

Re: [Zope] What is "favicon.ico" and why is it an error?

2000-06-07 Thread J. Michael Mc Kay

Internet explorer is looking for an favicon.ico or a custom icon file that
customizes your bookmark entry into a users book mark list.  If you get an
icon editor and make a custom icon 16x16, I think, icon then you can put it
in your home directory and when someone bookmarks the site they will see
your cute little icon in their bookmarks.
Now that you have done this, you have to put it in every directory
accessible to IE to prevent excessive logging of errors on your server.

   Becasue if it finds the file in a directory it would display it - and
site admin could put different icons in different directories.
   Return error 404 should be enough, if there is no such files.

[Zope] Re-posting a form

2000-06-07 Thread Paul Gresham

Hi, I have two cases where I have a user in Zope and capture information
from them, then need to re-post the data to another page. One case is I am
using WorldPilot and have customized it to have many instances of it,
segregating users into individual companies (a bit like hot office). I have
different instances of WorldPilot and attempt to jump to that instance from
a logon screen as such

Company:
User:
Password:

The instance of WorldPilot is named the same as Company:
(self.REQUEST['Company']) and the user becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] I
have no problems with getting the objects, calling the worldpilot object
correctly and passing in my REQUEST object, however there seems to be some
problem with redirection, or setting the base url. I have tried setting this
with REQUEST['RESPONSE'].setBase but with no luck. It seems like I need to
redirect the browser to the correct URL for this to work, but then I lose my
REQUEST object!  Does anyone have any ideas, I think I'm lacking some
understanding of the HTTP protocol, and getting myself deeper and deeper
into a mess !

The other case is where I actually have to read the information from a form
and then perform a HTTP POST to cgi program which handles my email admin.
I'd appreciate any pointers on how to get Python/Zope to perform a HTTP POST
to an external program.

Many Thanks
Gresh

Did someone say 'acquisition'?

You could just have one icon in the root folder and let it be acquired
:-)

As to what this icon is for:
Fire up IE and go to the bookmarks menu. See those little icons? That's
favicon. If one isn't found, the default one is used.

You have two choices: Put up with the errors and stick to your
principles, or do a bitmap and sell your soul ;-)

It makes little to no difference to IE users...

If, on the other hand, you really want the last updated date of
the Data.fs file (ie: the whole ZODB database), you will probably
have to write an external method to snarf it and return it.

[Zope] Dynamically Picking which object to display

2000-06-07 Thread Jason Lee

I'm fairly new to Zope, so this may be a dumb question, and my vocabulary could
be wrong, so please bear with me.  

I'm in the middle of building an e-commerce solution for my company, and we're
evaluating Zope (and PHP and Servlets, but that's immaterial) as the platform on
which to base this solution.  That doesn't necessarily mean anything other than
to give you context.  One of the problems I'm facing right now is how to display
a particular object based on a value.  For example, let's say a user tries to
access www.foo.com/MyAccount/CCInfo.  If the user has authenticated, I need to
show him the obviously sensitive data he has requested.  If he is not
authenticated, however, I need to give him a login screen which, for argument's
sake, is in the DTML document Login in the root folder.  How would I go about
doing that?  Am I making sense?  Thanks...

[Zope] YA newbie question

2000-06-07 Thread Randy Edwards

   I've got a newbie question that I can't seem to find an answer to after
checking docs/faqs.  This is sort of design-related.

   Presently I write web pages as tabled modules which are each put into
various *.html files.  I then string pages together with various modules
using server side includes along with whatever specific code/text goes into
that page.

   I figured this would be easy to do with Zope.  I created a subdirectory
called "modules" and put some modules into that; for example, "leftbuttons"
is a dtml method containing a table data block which contains the standard
left menu button HTML.  I figured I could whip up a page and at the
appropriate place in that page, do a '' and
have that code inserted into the page.

   That was my thinking.  "leftbuttons" views properly by itself.  However,
when I try that dtml-var statment above, the page displays raw HTML. 
Obviously I'm using a wrong tactic or am not grasping a concept here. 
Anyone want to smack me (again:-) with a clue-bat?  TIA.

Look in the z2.py file in your  directory (say c:\zope or
something). you can change the http port in there (it is rather heavily
commented; you should have no problem). Restart your service and your set.

Alternatively you might tweak the registry at key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
\Parameters\start
with the -p switch. But the first is easier i'd think ;-)

2000-06-07 Thread josh on

is there an easy way to get a record count of total number of items or
iterations returned by a dtml-in tag?

I want to say if more than 26 records are returned then don't do this.

i.e.

[Zope] Help on synchronous methods?

2000-06-07 Thread Craig Allen

How can I synchronize external method completion with DTML method invocation?
[and do I need to?]

I found an unexpected bug in a Zope content management app I am developing: the
actual publishing process invokes an External Method that uses urllib and ftplib
to pull rendered documents from Zope and PUT them to a web server via FTP.  One
of the documents is a table of contents of the "current" documents, which is
generated dynamically by a DTML method that looks at a property of each document
in the folder.  The last step in the publishing process is "archiving", a DTML
method that clears the "current" property in all documents.

What appeared to be happening was that the external method was still chugging
along when it came time to grab the table of contents; meanwhile, the archive
method had already cleared the "current" property, so there were no documents
listed in the table of contents.

First question: is my hypothesis likely?  Are methods - in particular an
external method - executed strictly sequentially (which is what I would have
assumed) or is it possible that the DTML archive method could have completed
before the prior external method did?  

Second question: if methods are _not_ executed synchronously, is there any way I
can force them to be?

[Zope] seeking help on roles, authorization, permission

2000-06-07 Thread Craig Allen

I've largely been able to ignore most of the Zope security mechanisms until now,
but I have this new intranet app that's causing me problems.

I have a folder called Reuters that has my application's methods; it has a
subfolder called Staging that has documents being reviewed and subsequently
published.  I need to be able to limit the publishing to specific individuals. 
I created users in the Users Folder in my Reuters directory.  I also created an
editor role in my Reuters folder, and gave it what I thought were appropriate
permissions, including manage_properties.  I assigned the editor role to each of
my new users.

Users work in the Staging folder.  When my users try to publish - which invokes
a method that changes properties on documents in the Staging folder and also
properties of the Reuters folder, they are prompted to log in by their browser. 
However, their usernames and passwords do not seem to work, and after 3 tries,
they get a Zope error page saying they do not have permission to
manage_changeProperties.

I don't get it.  Any clues?

You're asking quite a reasonable question. If you use one of the alternate
authentication systems (like LoginManager or Generic User Folder), you can
make a login scheme that uses cookies with a custom login screen. I'm hoping
to soon have a package that works with LoginManager to be a little more plug
and play.

The way it works is pretty straightforward. You just set the permissions
such that the user would have to authenticate in order to view that data.
Zope's authentication machinery will kick in, and LoginManager would then
put your login screen up.

No, I won't smack you. Newbies and Oldies alike go through this problem 
again and again. It's part of the Zope Voodoo ritual that everyone has to 
dance. :)

In short, use

  

and see the magic before your eyes.

Now, a longer explanation. When you use "module.leftbuttons", Zope does NOT 
call the leftbuttons method, intead, it tries to get its representation 
string (I think.)

You will soon get used to the weirdness of DTML, and you will know that the 
following three approaches

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 



all have subtle differences that haunt Newbies and Oldies alike. If you can 
tell the difference, congratulations, you've graduated from the Zope 
Elementary School and understood how the namespace voodoo works. Otherwise, 
keep consulting the manuals or the newsgroup. :)

[Zope] possible security flaw? - and, request for a phone conference.

2000-06-07 Thread Jon Franz

Hello, 
First off, sorry for the cross-posting of this message to admin and
to
development.
   I'm a software developer for a major ISP in the Midwest region of the
USA.
Recently we began evaluating Zope for use in our web application
development,
internally and for our clients, and have been quite pleased with the wealth
of features and add-ons available*;  However, I need two points addressed if

possible:

1)  We are running Zope 2.1.4 mapped to the root of the apache install
on a Linux (mandrake 7.0) box, and have found a rather nasty security -
or at least, its what I'll call a nasty problem - because if you don't know
about it, it could really bite you in the butt.
Basically, if a user with manager privileges to a folder changes
their
password to be empty, then anyone (from permitted domains) can access the
management screen for that folder Without Logging On... Zope assumes that
you are the user without the password and treats you as if you have those
rights.
I found this problem when one day the welcome Zope page (default
from install) didn't prompt me for a password when I clicked to enter
the management screen.  I did not realize what had happened until I went
under the 'undo' tab and saw that all of my actions while I was snooping
around for the problem were being listed as being done by one of the
other developers... I went into the acl_users and fixed their password
and everything is back to normal.  I've tested this by setting my own
password to an empty string, and it lets me log in...
From a security standpoint, It should probably prompt for a user
name and password, and simply accept a empty field for the password
As the password for that user...
Anyway, my point is to either inform the community of the bug,
if it isn't known, or to find out if it is known and has been fixed
in the newest release...  If it has not been fixed in the newest release,
I will be glad to create and provide a patch...

2)  As an experienced web developer, I'm very keen on new technologies
that can be reused and make my life easier - thus Zope is a godsend.
However, my management is hesitant to start using Zope on a regular
basis for our projects - they feel it is unproven and possibly unstable:
Now, I realize, and have informed them of the facts, that Digital Creations
makes their living off of Zope, and that new businesses are springing up
almost everyday that are Zope-centric, and that many contracting/development
firms are embracing it whole heartedly... But, my management is still
kind of hesitant.  
Is there anyone among you in the community who would be willing to 
write about your experience with Zope in the professional development 
arena, to address their concerns?  Even better, Would anyone be willing to 
participate in a conference call q & A session on Zope's suitability for 
use in professional web development?  I cannot offer money for these, but 
I can promise my undying gratitude, and, I can promise that any and all 
add-ons and patches we create for Zope would be released back to the 
community at large... As a large website app dev firm, our contributions 
could be significant...
Please email me privately if you wish to possibly participate in 
the phone conference.  
Thank you for your time and attention!

* I have already made two modifications to the Zope source, one dealing with
making 'border' a built in property (and used during tag output) of the 
image object.  and another, simple hack to the basic dtml parsing routines
that makes your dtml development a little faster by requiring less typing.
Both of these will be available under my member area on Zope.org.  Hopefully
these will be the first of many patches and add-ons I get to contribute.

It's not clear to me how your permissions are set-up. Are your users defined
in the Reuters folder and the Staging folder is acquiring the permissions
from Reuters?

[Zope] and Content-transfer-encoding

2000-06-07 Thread Chien-Pin Wang


Dear All:

 I'm using  to send messages of Chinese characters from
Zope. From time to time I got wierd mail delivery behaviors. I was told
then that mail header/message body must follow RFC-822 and RFC-2047
standard with proper encoding, if not in US-ASCII. Basically these RFCs
are talking about methods of encoding for non-US-ASCII characters. My
question is: How do I do this in Zope? Big thanks in advance!

[Zope] Several users having problem accessing field names of a ZSQL Method

2000-06-07 Thread Jones, David H

I am a new Zope user and am attempting to access field names of a ZSQL method.  I have 
read and tried to use the How-To : "Access the field names and fields of any arbitrary 
ZQSL query" by teyc. The code suggested there has not worked. 

For example, when I use the code:


  
,
   
  


I get the error:
Error Type: KeyError
 Error Value: SQL.names

I have nested the above code  in code that references a ZSQL method, as well as trying 
several other permutations, but nothing has worked. I'm wondering if this is a name 
lookup problem.

In checking this news group I see that several others have had similar problems.  See: 

http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/Main?SearchView=++&Start=1&Count=20&SearchOrder=1&ExactMatch=&SearchOrder=1&Query=sql.names

Can anyone tell me (us)  how to correctly do this, or what mistake I (we) am making.

Wget would regard /something as a file. bur it would regard
/something/ as a default document in a folder.

This sounds like a Wiki problem rather than a Zope problem.

As Zope will access /something and /something/ the same,
it's trivial to make sure that all URLs that link to an
object include a trailing /.

Wget assumes that when it crawls to a something/ location
that it is accessing the default file for the directory, so
it saves the resulting page as something/index.html .

Whatever webserver you use can be set to regard index.html
as the default file, so the link (which is still pointing to
/something/) will work just fine.

The only problem crops up with inline links that don't
conform to the /something/ format. All automatically
generated links (as in navigation bars) on the sites I
create end with a trailing /.

Cheers,

Michael Bernstein.

I think i can tell you.   When zope encounters something inside quotes, it
generally treats it as a python expression.  Python is treating what you
thought was a hyphen as a minus sign and trying to subtract the variable
"index" from the variable "sequence" in this line of code:

   

The easy solution is to name your variable sequence_item instead of
sequence-item.  I think there's also a way to actually name a variable
sequence-item, but it involves an underscore and parens _(  )  and some more
funky syntax, but it's a lot easier to just stop using hyphens in variable
names.

I'm sure this should be obvious to me... but I can't seem to get this code

passed...


  


The problem is, when i test the page, it seems to pass over that that, and go

  ...


Again... goes straight through.  What's going on here?  When I use:
