[Zope] anyone skilled in the ways of changing page properties?
::: on a standard page served by zope, user enters pagename into a field and
presses submit
form method=GET action=createwikipage
input type="text" name="pagename"
input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"
/form
::: createwikipage is a dtml method to which pagename is passed onto
::: a ZWiki page is now successfully created with the pagename specified by
the user as the id
dtml-call "manage_addZWikiPage(id=pagename, title='')"
::: thanks to Geoff Gardiner's managed mode additions, the ZWiki page has an
extra boolean property called managed_mode, which i would like to set to
true (1) : this is where, my troubles begin, and i have tried with the help
of those helpful souls in #zope on irc.openprojects.net, many many
combinations
dtml-with "_[pagename]"
dtml-call "manage_editProperties({'managed_mode':1, 'type':'int'})"
/dtml-with
the above proceeds with no problems, but doesnt change the managed_mode to 1
dtml-with "_[pagename]"
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('managed_mode', 1)"
dtml-call "manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"
/dtml-with
which again "works" but without any change like the first one, and after
digging through the mailing list archive, i tried:
dtml-call
"_[pagename].propertysheets.Basic.manage_changeProperties(manage_mode=1)"
which unfortunately leads to an attribute error with Error Value: 'string'
object has no attribute 'propertysheets'
i have tried god knows how many different combinations along similar lines,
but they either give me zope errors or even worse, "work" but without having
changed the value of the property.
i would appreciate it if anyone could point me to what i am doing wrong
here. i believe the main problem lies in "passing" the pagename to the dtml
method for it to change the properties of. other than that, i have no idea
what i am doing wrong, and i am close to tearing out my hair in frustration
::: now, if ever, i get that solved, i would also like to set the user who
submitted the pagename as the page_owner of the new page. again, page_owner
is a new ZWiki property due to Geoff's work =)
and for this, i presume, whatever dtml works with the above change for
managed mode, with the slight change of :
manage_changeProperties(page_owner=AUTHENTICATED_USER)
or
manage_changeProperties('page_owner', 'AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()',
'string')
::: now, i would like to create a new property on the ZWiki page, called
page_creation_time, and set the the creation time/date as the value
manage_addProperty('page_creation_time',ZopeTime(),'date')
::: and finally, the user is redirected to the editform of the page (and i
am proud to say that this is working ;)
dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(_['URL1'] + '/' + REQUEST['pagename'] +
'/editform?cols=60rows=20')"
if anyone can help me with the setting of the managed_mode, i would be
delighted and they would earn a big spot on this site of mine g and, if
anyone can also provide code that works to set the page_owner and
page_creation_time, then i will do anything to make you happy. thanks in
advance for any help

[Zope] page properties (part II)
apologies for the delay with the site, to anyone who was expecting it, i had some "real life" issues to deal with :/ which, i have now managed to deal with for the time being, and got back to dear zope. i worked away at it all nite, and ended up with a handful of problems, which i am hoping someone will be able to solve ;) (1) following up from last time i thought it would be more functional if the user could define the pagename and a pagetopic (section) and press enter, when the user does this, it sends the info to a dtml document, which puts the page(pagename) into managed_mode, and i would also like to now set the pagetopic as a new property... page_topic atm, the code looks like this... -- dtml-with "_.getitem(pagename,0)" dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(managed_mode=1)" /dtml-with -- but, i have no idea how i would get the second pagetopic passed along, and set as a new property on whatever page, pagename is (2) sorting by two values i wa trying to sort through all the pages, and display the 10 most recently changed ones which have page_status set to approved. -- dtml-in "aq_parent.objectValues(spec='ZWiki Page')" size="10" sort="bobobase_modification_time" reverse dtml-if "page_status == 'approved'" a href="dtml.url_quote-id;" class="alt"dtml-var id/ap /dtml-if /dtml-in -- i came close with the above code, however, it sorts out the 10 most recent pages first, and then 'filters' and displays the ones which have approved status. whereas i want 10 approved pages :( (3) search how would i create a page that allowed people to search a host of pages by specific properties, e.g. page_status or page_name? - so, user selects property from a drop-down list and types in what he is searching for into a text field, and presses search. - perhaps even search by time? e.g. person says, only display pages created in the last [person enters value here] days - and of course, search by time when last edited. person enters start time, and end time, and all pages last edited within that time frame are shown - would it be possible for someone to search on two criteria? say page_name and time last changed? (4) these questions related to PTK (i am running the latest CVS version) - the /Members/membername section seems to be fucked ): going there directly tells me that the object cant be found. digging through the PTK-list, i found out that /Members/membername/index_html/index_html works, but that is one damned nuisance it works nicely on zope.org, so i am hoping that there is a workaround for it ;) - i would like to also limit what users can upload to 100kb. any way of doing this?

[Zope] A DTML problem using Namespaces
hi, i am running into a slight problem due to STILL not being able to understand namespaces perfectly, and would appreciate if someone could help out. - the situation is this: - i have a dtml document called "pageowners", on which i have a list property called owners. which changes every hour. lets assume right now, it says tav and Bill. now, in the same folder, i have a dtml method called "parseit", and i have three dtml documents, called "tav", "noa" and "Bill". there is a dtml document corresponding to each owner. each of the three documents have a title and content. parseit simply gives them a table layout, which simplified immensely, looks like: tabletrtd dtml-var title /tdtd dtml-var owner-name /td/tr/tablebr what i want to do is display whomever is listed as an owner, in such nice tables. - the problem is this: - in "standard_html_header", it looks up which owners are listed in "pageowners", and then runs through them in a sequence. however, (and this is where it gets tricky), i want the owners to be formatted by running them thru "parseit". however i get stuck when in parseit, as i dont know how to do dtml-var Bill, i tried to set Bill in the namespace by using dtml-with Billdtml-var parseit, and then tried to call dtml-var id within "parseit" but that doesn't work :/ and, again, i want this to be done automatically, so i dont want to have to manually list Bill, tav, noa, etc i am pretty sure that DTML can handle this, and this is one of the reasons why i like zope, because it lends itself to a structured system which is easily maintainable, e.g. the owners could increase from 5 to a 1000, and this would still work. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Zope] Creating Member folders with the Membership Product
Hi, I have been trying to mimic the way the PTK (and zope.org) automatically creates a Member folder with specific objects, when someone signs up. I want to do something similar, but call it something other than Members/ and have 5 objects in a subfolder copied over to the User's directory that is created. Currently I am using the PTK, but am also interested in Bill's Membership Product. So, if anyone could guide me as to how I can achieve this with either, I would be very grateful. -- best regards, tav [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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 )

SR == "Smith Ray" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: SR Are there any "Intranet" type packages which have similar SR functionality to what I have quickly described? there aren't any intranet packages per se, but there is a wonderful zope product called worldpilot which you should take a look at. its available at http://demo.worldpilot.com:8080/site/ it has a very nice web based mail client / calendar / todo / address book features. that fulfils half of your requirements in an intranet. for the other half, go out and create something based on other zope tools, e.g. zwiki / squishdot / ptk the drawback is in integrating worldpilot with whatever you create. the code is definitely not the most manageable, however, the source is there - so you can do whatever you want :) SR If I had to build something like this myself would SR Zope be the tool of choice?
