[Zope] How to use management tabs not for management
I want to create create HTML pages with my own Zopish looking tabs that have nothing to do with Zope management. Is there a simple way to use manage_tabs for this, or do I need to make my own version of it? Everything I've tried gets me caught up in the Zope management system. ___ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.

[Zope] ZopeTime().Date() confusion
This is driving me batty.
I am trying to do something very simple. I want a method to perform an
update no more than once a day. I know there are other approaches to this
issue -- such as using bobobase_modification_time, not to mention Xron --
but I would like to use a date property for reasons I won't go into here.
I am using Zope 2.2.1. Every time the method updates, I update the date
property called last_updated with this:
This gives me a date that appears to be accurate, such as 2000/10/01. Then,
every time the page gets called, I want to check to see if it is time to
call the method, so I use:
don't update method
update method
store new last_updated
This worked fine until, at the appointed hour, last_updated began to sense
that even though it appeared to be "2000/10/01" (and even when I typed it
in that way by hand), the time in Greenwich was actually more important to
its sense of identity than was its appearance to me. So even when
ZopeTime().Date() gave me 2000/10/01,
last_updated.isCurrentDay()
would evaluate to false(!). So the method would update every time the page
was called. As a kluge, I changed my update command to
, which works, but causes the update to occur, I presume, at midnight GMT,
rather than midnight here, which would be nicer (actually, I'd love to be
able to control the precise hour updates should occur, but I can't figure
out how to do that). This is also complicated -- but not relevantly, I
hope? -- by the fact that the Zope installation seems to think the time
zone is GMT+2 rather than GMT-5 (I'm in Texas).
I understand that the previously counterintuitive use of strftime was
changed for 2.2.1 -- but I am not using strftime, I am using Date() and
isCurrentDay(). I've tried all sorts of combinations of switching time
zones but succeeded only in confusing myself.
So three questions:
1. Is there a better way to do this (still using a property called
last_updated)?
2. Does the use of Date() and isCurrentDay(), etc. still switch everything
to GMT, even though strftime was changed? If so, what is the list of
methods that compare GMT, and which that compare the local installation time?
3. This appears to be a perfect example of something that should be very
simple becoming needlessly complicated. Couldn't some more user-friendly
("beginner") time or date objects be implemented in DTML?
Thanks for any help!

[Zope] Limited file size editing...
Just curious... I've seen several times on this list people pointing out that the limit on the size of files you can edit in Zope via the web interface is a result of your browser. The sizes I recall were somewhere in the vacinity of 64K. I currently have a 470K file open for editing in Netscape 4.75 (under Linux). What are the limits on various browsers?

[Zope] Allright, who broke acquisition?
Hi everyone, I'm running Zope 2.2.2 on Linux. All of the sudden I've got some DTML methods that are no longer being acquired in subfolders. I changed the HTML a bit and the whole thing stopped working! I've got some little navigation menus that I'd like to reuse in subfolders by simply referring to them via and having them acquired from the parent folder. Anybody know when this is happening?

[Zope] sendmail tag strangeness
Title: sendmail tag strangeness I have searched around about sendmail tag problems on the list and have found similar answers to my question. However none of them work. I have used this syntax To: <> From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: body I pay close attention to not having any whitespace before the To: and From: headers. I receive this error from multiple SMTP hosts: 503 must have sender and recipient first I can send an email with this syntax: body... The problem is, I have to put in the recipient by hand. This method is supposed to email a recipient after filling out a form so the recipient has to be a variable. When I try using or &dtml-recipient; or _[recipient] I still have errors or the SMTP log shows that the variable does not get evaluated and shows up as a string of <&dtml-recipient;> as being the recipient in the SMTP header. Is this a bug? Is there something else I could try? TIA Scott B.
