A couple of questions:

line one line two line three
Is that in your browser window, or did you view the source html?
- Does ')" > work?

Re: [Zope] FindOneOf?
In a Python external method:
import re
def FindOneOf(to_find, search_str):
match_obj = re.search("[%s]" % to_find, search_str)
if match_obj:
return match_obj.start() + 1
else:
return 0
So, calling FindOneOf("ghd", "abcdefghij") returns 4. This will work as
is unless searching for a '-' (which will work ok as long as it is at the
start of to_find).
Not quite sure what the third argument 1 is for in the ColdFusion
version, so say something if it is important.

Re: [Zope] while
This is real ugly, but you asked (untested, but you get the idea): errormsg Oops! Exception never raised. This only works if the loop will cycle less than 1000 times.

A couple of ideas: - Don't save your data (documents, images) in the ZODB. Instead, save it to disk using the Local File System product. This will prevent the ZODB from getting too big for most OSes. - I think it would be kind of interesting to use RCS for something like this on the backend. Build your methods in Zope to manipulate RCS, and then you get all the functionality of RCS "for free", and don't have to reinvent the wheel. You may run into problems with people not working with the most current document (I grab something from the database, Jill commits some changes to the same document, I make some changes, commit them, and destroy Jill's changes), but you would have that problem anyway as you initially described it. Hope this helps. -- Patrick Lewis <[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 )
Re: [Zope] .dtml files
The object has a method named manage_roleForm. In your example, an object
which is (or inherets from) Role will have a manage_roleForm, and can be
accessed just like any other method, assuming adequate permissions.
Using an example I am more familiar with, if you have a DTML Document
index_html (which inherits from PropertyManager), you can call
index_html/manage_propertiesForm, which will render the file
'properties.dtml'.
This is one of those things that when I discovered it, I did the 'this is
so cool' dance.

Re: [Zope] Zope jobs.
Funny you should mention this.

But, if you would like to privately email me with the details, I would happily post it in the meantime.
