[Zope] Multiple select boxes saves selected id's even though the Objectsare deleted. are deleted.
I have a zClass with a multiple selection. The selected items are selected from a list of id's from a folder. They are then saved in the zClass as a list of strings. But when one of the selected items on the folder is deleted the id is still in the zClass. Naturally it should be deleted from the "selected" list automatically, but I don't think that is feasible.

Zope can easily do most all of the things you mention in zClasses. The most difficult items you are requesting though is calendaring and discussion. Currently there are no real good products available so I guess you will have to roll your own in a Python Product, and that can be a bit difficult to learn.

[Zope] Dreamweaver, webdav and Zope
I have just upgraded to DreamWeaver 4.0. Lo and behold, it has webDav support. I can open the site in DreamWeaver and it looks just great. It would be a really, I mean REALLY, nice management interface for Zope. Two problems though: 1) I cannot open my dtml methods in Dreamweaver as they have no extensions. Appart from giving them extensions has anybody had succes with this in Dreamweaver? I can solve it by dragging them onto an empty page, but that ain't to neat. It also only gives the code view. 2) The files that DreamWeaver gets over is rendered html files. So it is not actually dtml, but the html resulting from the dtml method.

RE: [Zope] ZPatterns
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Hmm, maybe it's the time for a translate-zPatterns-to-english effort? I'll give it a try: Normally you talk about multi tier applications, when talking about something like zPatterns. Say you want to make a website where users can write articles and comments, like Slashdot. Then in asp, or to a lesser degree Zope you will write your application in some sort of template language. VBScript or dtml. New programmers will mix together persistence, presentation and logic all over the place. That is a bad idea. When you get a little better at programming you make classes that handles database connections, classes that handles the business logic and classes that handles the layout. So in this case you will make a user table in your SQL database, an article table and a comment table. Then you will make some logic to controll it, and some code to view it. This is a three tier system. zPatterns adds a few more tiers and sugar on top. Normally in Zope you would make an folderish article Python product or zClass that can contain comments. And also you would make a Python product or zClass for users. Saving their names, email, webadresses, list of articles or whatever. All fine and dandy. But say instead of using the ZODB for storing user data that you want to use the database that the company allready have with employees??? You would have to rewrite your Python product or zClass from scratch. To avoid this zPatterns use an anbstraction of a table called a "Rack". If you define this Rack how it is implemented at the backend doesn't matter. It can be an SQL database, or saved in the ZODB. The important thing is that you allways acces the Rack the same way so any other part of your application don't have to change when you change storage backend. Often you want to look at data in different ways. You have your database, your logic, and different ways to look at the data. This is called the "Model View Controller" principle in standard Geek talk. You use it to avoid duplication of data. The "DRY" principle (Don't Repeat Yourself). When I see an article I also want see all comments made to this article. Furthermore when I see a user, I also want to see the comments that this user has made and all the articles that he has written. Naturally you don't just copy the list of comment's to the article or the user. This would cause redundancy and bad problems when you change values in the original data. You make a new combined view of your model instead, where you join articles and comments on one page. So data from two different racks can be viewed in one place. In zPattern lingo this is called a "Specialist". But a "view" by any other name still smells as sweet. To use these two nice abstractions in Zope it has to work a little more Zope like. Often when making a zClass you use a folderish object. the zPattern folder is called a "PlugIn". It can have properties just like a normal zClass. In zPatterns the interface or "property sheet" used for handling the values in a single item in a rack. (What would be a single row in an SQL table) is called an "AttributeProvider". When you combine the content of one or more racks into a new Specialist (or view, remmeber?) you use a "SheetProvider" to edit the data. This is what would be a normal management interface in a typical web application. Anyhoo, this is how I unerstand it. But I must add that I have never used zPatterns, This is all from how I understand the documentation, the Wiki etc combined with my limited knowledge of computer science. Hope this helps.

Zope loses by not >having a decent external storage mechanism for its programming. Whoa there ... I didn't say anything you could disagree with. I just stated facts. But I do agree that writing software in Zope is a problem for me too. I would also like a flat text storage system, but I also see why it is difficult considdering the design choices made in Zope. I believe that my problems stems from the fact that code, content and presentation is to strongly interwoven. zClasses are nice and simple but difficult to edit, as it has to be done in the browser. Or at least pasted into it. You also get yourself painted into a corner pretty quickly. Subclassing a Pyhton class as a base for a zClass is kind of nice. But currently I am having problems using that method as it seems that "helper classes" cannot be adressed from dtml methods in the zClass. (Se my acessing parameters in a "helper class" posting). Products are difficult to make, and all the tutorials are rather bad. Business logic and presentation is mixed together. (Business logic should not use any code or libraries from Zope at all.) A nice way to work would be to make a Python class that is completely independent of Zope. Test and debug it. Then make a thin Zope wrapper that adds just enough functionality to make it work in Zope, and so that it can be accessed nicely via dtml. I am trying this approach currently, but it gets ugly real fast. It will probably be nicer when I understand it fully. I Will post a How-to then.

RE: [Zope] My Items will not show themself in manage_main (objectItems)
From: Ender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
First os all. Thank you for the patience. I know it is boring to "Solve
other peoples problems for them", but I am really trying hard myself,
reading the source
of Zope and other products. It's just such a steap learning curve because it
is underdocumented. (I have 6+ years of experience in web scripting and 12+
in programming + database overall, so usually i catch on fast.)

I don't want that in this product. It should just be a plain folder, where
anything can be put. Well at least Foders, images and dtml methods.

In my mxm_diskuss class I have a list containing messages:
self.testComments = [.] (will be renamed to "comments" when it's done.)
These comments are not meant to be seen in the folder view, they should only
be visible when called through dtml methods. like this method to make a list
of all messages:
index_html:
By:
What I find "brilliant" about the idea is that when a customer wants a
discussion group I only have to change 3 standard dtml files to give it a
new functional interface. And I can build a library of look and feels. And
there is no recursion in it so it will behave like a list, and be easily
codeable from dtml.
The last discussion product ever needed :-) It will be ZPL (when it's done.)

My problem is not adding object programatically, but doing it in the
management interface. When I add them I can press "add & edit" and I can
paste the dtml source, and the method works. But they don't show up on the
list when viewing the folder.
Well I guess that if I dont have to do anything special to add objects to an
objectmanager, then I must have a permission problem when viewing them. I
guess I will look more into that. Currently I am lookin for a permission
that prevents seing the ObjectItems in an objectmanager, but so far without
any luck.
grr... documentation.

[Zope] How do I change dtml template on the fly in Python product?
I have asked this question somewhat differently in another thread but here I
go again from another angle, as it might have been my approach that was
wrong to begin with.
I have a Python product that allready does what I want it to, but I want to
be able to create different views of the products content. (Model View
Controller principle). To do this I have created a folder with different
views (Or skins if you would prefer the Gnome/KDE way of saying it.)
views
view1
list.dtml
view.dtml
edit.dtml
view2
list.dtml
view.dtml
edit.dtml
In my class I have made a value that hold the name of the selected view, I
call this:
self.selView
I want to make it possible to use the different sets of dtml files to create
a different look and feel to the data.
I want to write my "index_html" method so that it returns a rendered version
of "list.dtml" corresponding to the selected view, by the name of the folder
holding the selected view.
something like this (which doesn't work):
def index_html():
return HTMLFile('views/' + self.selView+ 'list')
Is that the best way to do it?
Regards
Max M

RE: [Zope] How to render a HTMLFile in a method in a product
>From: Chris Withers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
I got this answer to my question about how to render a dtml document from a
method.
>testisDocTemp = 1
>def test(self,ignored,md):
>" A simple test method "
>return HTMLFile('skins/' + self.skin, globals())(None,md)
And I have been busy trying to read the source code to understand the
advise:
As far as I understand the story goes a little like this:
HTMLFile returns an object (through inheritance) "String" in file
"DT_String.py" that has "__call__()" implemented, which means that the class
can be called as a function... Hmm ... I had actually not seen this method
used in Python before.
def __call__(self,client=None,mapping={},**kw):
This method accepts an object in which it will look up values to insert in
the dtml file, and a mapping object (dictionary) that also will look up
values to insert.
So i guess that is what (None,md) does.
But I dont understand what "ignored" does in my method, as it is unused,
unless it is used by md
>def test(self,ignored,md):
Furthermore I dont understand what md is. Some kind of mapping object
naturally, but where does it come from?
Also what is testisDocTemp supposed to do?
If I grep the source a "isDocTemp" shows up but is isn't easy to see what
this does either.

[Zope] How to render a HTMLFile in a method in a product
I would have thought that the two examples below where equivalent but only
the top one works like expected. (It renders the page.)
The second one just shows the source of the vanilla dtml page.
--
test = HTMLFile('vanilla', globals())
--
def test(self):
"A simpe test method"
return HTMLFile('vanilla', globals())
--
How do I execute the dtml file in a method. I have searched the
documentation, but it is sketchy to say the least.
I cannot use the first approach as I need to define the filename on the fly
in my method.
def test(self):
"A simpe test method"
return HTMLFile('skins/' + self.skin, globals())
self.skin is only available in my object, so naturally if I try to say:
test = HTMLFile('skins/' + self.skin, globals())
I get an error.

RE: [Zope] Access to an external site from zope site
There is no simple way of doing it. You would have to write a product that accepts an URL as a parameter like: http:www.yoursite.com/foreign?url=http.//www.othersite.com/somepage.htm Then your product should take all href's in the new document and rename them like the above. Image src's only need to be renamed to absolute paths. Forms need some special attention too. Even thinking about cookies, parameter passing and all the other stuff that can go on between the two sites is enough to make my head spin. Getting a single page from another site is somewhat easier though, but you still would need to make all the url's in the remote document absolute, including "img src's" and "forms action" , so that would take some html parsing.

[Zope] How do you guys/gals test Zope products from Python?
I am using Zope and Python 1.5.2 on Win2000. I guess that it is a fairly
simple setup.
My Zope site is in a folder called c:\mxmZope, and my vanilla Python is in
C:\Program Files\Python.
usually when I write Python I just use PythonWin to edit and run my scripts.
I then write test in the buttom of my file that shows that everything works.
This works nicely, but when writing Zope products I get really frustrated. I
cannot easily automate my tests.
I put my products into C:\mxmZope\lib\python\Products\name and edit them
from there, but trying to edit just a simple syntax error means a restart of
Zope. That gets tired real fast. Especially when all you have to do to make
mistakes is forgetting a comment under a method etc.
I cannot run the program from my PythonWin or IDLE as they are set to the
standard Python enviroment. Do other set os.path.append('ZopeDir') or
something and the comment that out when running or what?
The error messages I get that way are also rather lacking. Reloading the
file in the browser, reading the source and getting a traceback like the one
below, for a method I know exists. But dissapeared because of some, probably
minor, typing mistake.
-

File C:\mxmZope\lib\python\ZPublisher\HTTPResponse.py, line 529, in
notFoundError
NotFound: (see above)
--
I am shure that there must be a better way, but what is it? How do you guys
edit and test your products? Even .asp is far better than the way I am doing
it now.
At least I dont have to restart the server when I make a simple mistake, I
can also easily put in testcode and Response.Writes to se what is happening.
I love Python among other things because of the nice traceback and debugging
features, but I feel that they are somewhat lost when developing Zope.
Shurely it must be me being ignorant here.

Actually what is important is that they are integers and in a specific
order. So the datestamp method isn't that feasible for me.
(I'm trying to make a "fake tree" for a diskussion product.)
It is really easy to implement and doesn't use recursion, so traversing the

It uses a dictionary with tupples as keys to emulate the recursive
structure. Simple example here if anybody cares.

It is important that the id's are in order, so I need to make them this way. I have a zClass (objectmanger) with a property called "lastID", on a propertysheet called "hidden". I have then written a dtml mehtod that should return the id incremented by 1 and then sets the lastID to this new id. the dtml for the "newID()" dtml method looks like this: -- -- When I try to get the property directly via the browser i get a result of "1" The default value for lastID=0 to begin with so this sounds plausible, but when I refresh the browser nothing happens. So I guess that lastID isn't updated in the above code. How do I do that?

This is untested, but an idea: It is still subject to failure if 2 or more processes are writing an article in the same time. Furthermore it has to find and sort all the items in the folder.

[Zope] Sorting and accessing elements in the
I am making a mailer zClass where it will only be nessecary to make the form fields with the values you want to send, then the zClass will give you a reply on the webpage and send a nicely formatted e-mail. The problem is that the form elements are unknown but they need to be set up in predictable order to format the output automatically. To do this I need the form values in a sorted order. I can then give the form fields names like this: Then the mail can be automatically formatted like this: 1) First Name Max M 2) Last Name Rasmussen etc I have tried to use the sequence-item as a key in REQUEST.form, but it doesn't work like I want it to. - : < THIS IS WHAT DOESNT WORK - Regards Max M ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] Permission problem with my own zClass.
I have made a zClass called "newsProduct" that is articles with predefined properties. It works nicely when I am logged on as an Administrator. I can add articles. No problem. I also have a site with the following structure root news I want some users to be able to add "news" articles in the "news" folder. This I can do by making a user folder in the "news" folder and setting the users as administrators, but I do NOT want them to be able to add anything but articles. So that is a bad idea. Thus I want to make a new role called "author" that can only add articles. in the news-folder. I have made a user in the "news" userfolder, and given this user the "author" role. In the news folder I have also checked the box "add newss" under "author" (a single article is also called "news" in the management interface). My test_author can logon nicely, seeing the "news" folder as the root. And under the "To add an item select an item type" select box, 2 products turn up "Z Gadfly Database Connection"(No idea why!) & "News". But when I select "news" a login prompt pops up. I cannot login as test_author, so I cannot create any news in the "news folder." Does anybody has any ideas about what more I need to set in order to make the "author" role able to create articles.

[Zope] This must be a namespace problem
I have a site structure like this: root subfolder Then i have made a dtml document "index_html" in the "root" folder like this: test Also I have a dtml method "content" in the root folder like this: Root folder this is the content of the root folder Then I have made a method "content" in "subfolder" Sub folder this is the content of the sub folder all in all: root index_html content subFolder content When i view "root" folde i see the index_html document just fine, and the content gets inserted like it should. But when I view the "subFolder" I would expect it to look for the "index_html" in the root folder and then the "content" method in the subFolder. But it uses the "root" folder "content". How can I make it us the "content" in the current directory, but the index_html from the root folder. Can this not be done??

We need more info about Zope from a Python programmers POW. Setting pages up in dtml is not that interresting from my point of view. We need more detailed documentation on all the seperate modules, and far more/better on making products. dtml is not for programming and business logic, only for presentation.

[Zope] Problems publishing simple object directly thru ZServer
--
I have made a very simple class that I am trying to publish thru ZServer:
--
class hello:
"""A very simple publishable objet in zope"""
def world(self):
"DocStrings are NOT optional"
return "hello world"
--
I have changed the following in z2.py
--
#zh = zhttp_handler(MODULE, '', HTTP_ENV)
#hs.install_handler(zh)
sys.path.insert(0,'C:/root/pythonScripts/hello') # add MyModule to the
Python path
my_handler = zhttp_handler('hello', '') # create a handler
hs.install_handler(my_handler) # install it in the http
server#
--
And I get this traceback:
--
Zope Error
Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
exceptions.TypeError
Sorry, a Zope error occurred.
Traceback (innermost last):
File C:\mxmZope\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in

File C:\mxmZope\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object
(Object: world)
TypeError: unbound method must be called with class instance 1st argument
--
Can anyone see the error of my ways? I can't. I would think that: "unbound
method must be called with class instance 1st argument" would mean I had
forgotten "self" in my method but this is clearly not the case.
