How about creating a custom management page that just lists the objects they need to change? You could do this by hand if the object list is static. If, as is more likely, it changes, you could create a Catalog that indexes meta_type or (if body_content is not a specialized class) id, and thereby be able to pull up a list of all body_content objects and list them on the custom management page using dtml-in.

Given your description, which I'm not sure I completely understand, I'd suggest adding a Catalog to your site, and creating an index field in the catalog that indexes your document sequence number. Also make a meta data property in the catalog for the index field. To get your complete list of documents, just call the catalog, and you'll get back everything indexed. (If you index more stuff than your documents, just query the Catalog for meta_type DTMLDocument, or query your index field for >0 and do your processing Take a look at the Catalog HowTo's to decide what stuff you want in meta data fields and how to get the object given its Catalog pointer if you decide you need to do that. Hmm. To do prev and next buttons you could find the right document by doing a search on your index field for a value less then the current id (prev), sort in reverse, and do size=1 on the dtml-in.

DTMLMethod's __call__ only takes three arguments: client, REQUEST,
and RESPONSE. **kw turns any additional keyword arguments (x=y)
into a dictionary kw. To pass the ones your __call__ receives on
to DTMLMethod's __call__, you have to turn them back into a keyword
list somehow. A quick check of the python language reference
doesn't reveal any special syntactic sugar for doing this. However,
in the definition of __call__ in DTMLMethod I found this:
r = apply(HTML.__call__, (self, client, REQUEST), kw)
Reading about apply in the python docs, it's obviously designed to
do just the job you need .

You then search on the field, and return the relevant documents. Since the Catalog only stores word indexes and document indexes and not the text itself, this is not as inefficient as it sounds. It's also a little more execution-time efficient (which is good for a web ap) since you are effectively pre-computing the between-fields OR portion of the search. --RDM ___ 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 )

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, or maybe I'm misuderstanding ZSQL methods , because it does seem pretty straightforward to me. I haven't done what I'm about to describe, though, so I could be way off base. It seems to me that what you want to do is have a ZSQL method that takes an argument from the URL (they can do that), where the argument is the 'id' of the record. Then your method uses that argument to retrieve *just* that row from your database. Then you have your html template filled in using the column variables from that record. No need to have actual document objects sitting around, just the template. If you delete a record the corresponding page is therefore gone. And you get stable URLs, if the ids don't change: http://www.yoursite.com/yourmethod/recordid --RDM ___ 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 )

But a FM would help. Can anyone point me that way. I don't think there is one. Basically, if you want to search on terms that include punctuation, you have to write your own Splitter.c. Have fun . You don't by the way, have to write it in C, although not doing so presumably has performance implications or it wouldn't have been written in C to begin with. But if all you want the splitter to do is split at blanks and truncate long words, you probably don't need C... You are presumably talking about text indexes if you are worried about Vocabulary and stop words. Most of the guts of this stuff is actually located in a module named SearchIndex. Reading the source code there is as close to a FM as I think you'll get right now. The current Vocablulary does some appropriate wrapping up of modules in SearchIndex for use by Catalog; if you want to do your own thing without touching Zope's default machinery you'll need to write your own Vocabulary object. It shouldn't be too hard if you model it after the existing source. The current text index *does* try to do something sensible in the case you cite, however. Words are indexed after being broken at punctuation. When a word containing embedded punctuation is used as a search term, it is turned into a "near" search (xml near parser, for example). I have not tested whether or not this actually works, but from my reading of the code I *think* what it does is equivalent to an 'and' search on the two words except that the nearer the two words are in the document the earlier in the result set the document appears (assuming you don't sort the result set yourself). Note that there was a longstanding bug in the search term parsing machinery that caused some search terms with embedded punctuation to fail to return any results. I submitted a patch for this that has been incorporated as of 2.2.1b1. (The bug should not have affected a search term like XML::Parser.) In theory, I think that instead of rewriting the splitter module you could rewrite SearchIndex/ResultList's notion of what 'near' means to constrain the words to be right next to each other. You should even be able to enforce ordering. If it works, it might be a easier than rewriting the splitter, since you'd only be changing one python function. I've been digging around in the SearchIndex code for a while now, so if you want to ask me more questions, go ahead. It doesn't mean I'll know the answers, but I'm happy to share whatever I *have* learned. --RDM PS: this question is really more into 'zope-dev' terratory than 'zope' terratory, if you want to move it. ___ 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 )

This *sounds* like the boolean property bug that appeared in 2.2 (I think) and was supposedly fixed in 2.2.1. By any chance does Yihaw use manage_changeProperties instead of manage_editProperties in its propertysheet edit method? That would lead to the observed behavior since unchecked boolean check boxes do not appear in REQUEST and thus are not affected by a manage_changeProperties call. --RDM ___ 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 )

To use returned objects of your special-purpose classes from dtml, you have to tell Zope that it is OK to do so. Check out Brian's new-security-model guide at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To/ProductAuthorUpdateGuide (I think he also has newer stuff in the security chapter of the book but I haven't looked at it yet).

I think __dict__ gets you the latter, but self.dbTest calls __getattr__ and the Zope hook for that returns a wrapped object. The wrapped object can use acquisition to find the db connection, the unwrapped object can't.

That should have worked. You could try manage_changeProperties(eggs='blue') as an alternative, but the dictionary way should have worked. Did you check the property after the method had executed? Perhaps the change is not visible until the method completes, although I would not expect that to be the case...unless 'eggs' exists "closer" in the name space stack as a variable than it does as a property on the object, in which case the second dtml-var would be picking up the variable value but the manage_changeProperties will have affected property of the object it was called on. --RDM ___ 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 )

As someone else said, the method has to be parameterless (yours probably appears to be). This also means that it can't depend on having a name space around (that usually gets passed implicitly to dtml methods), including REQUEST, since Catalog won't have that to pass it in most indexing scenarios.

Ah, yes, changing the base class of a ZClass is hard. There's a hold-onto-your-pants recipie for doing it, but it's not for the faint of heart. Check the HowTo's if you are curious. Depending on the complexity of the objects, you could write an external method that would write the data out to a file in some format, and another to read the data back in and use it to instantiate new objects of the desired type. I did this once with a 60K database of objects . I *could* send you that source code as an example, if you want.

I believe the title goes in the 'default' property sheet, but more than that I can't tell you.

Your 'select' variable holds the string ids of the objects, but you need the actual objects in order to get them rendered. getitem will look up the object given the id, but you're actually telling it here to look up the value (in the namespace) of the string 'sequence-item'. What you get, as you observed, is the id string stored at that moment in sequence-item. So you need to loose the quotes so it will look up that id string in the namespace. However, there's a wrinkle: sequence-item is not a valid python variable name. So you have to look sequence-item up in the namespace after all. You could do: However, Zope provides a shortcut for this, using the namespace variable (_) as a dictionary: This, though, is going to *just* retrieve the object, it won't cause it to render (I think you'll get the DTML source, which I think is the representation of the object as string, which is the default conversion in this context )>. So what you a really want to do is execute the object after you've retreived it, which will case it (unless it is a ZClass that is not subclassed from Renderable) to render itself, which is what I think you want. To do that you pass a true flag to getitem as its second argument: Now, _ has this additional feature (Chris Whithers would say bug) that it calls any callable object it is asked to retrieve via the dictionary lookup. So you should be able to shorten this to: There's one more subtlety (are you getting tired of this yet?) involving the need to pass the namespace to called DTML methods, but I believe _ takes care of that for you in this example so I won't go into it. But it's a FAQ, too, so you might want to look for the answer before it bites you . --RDM ___ 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 )

Under the unix source install, running with the monitor process active is the default (if you remove the -D from the z2 startup command line). I run this way with several sites, under both FreeBSD and Linux. It successfully restarts zope if it dies. In certain unusual circumstances, though, Zope will go into a spin where the python process consumes all available CPU and Zope stops responding. The monitor won't catch that. (Someone wrote a script that will; search the archives). In my experience this happens, in 2.1.x, when certain conditions are met by the DTML source code of referenced methods. I'm not sure what the exact conditions are, though I seem to recall they had to do with leading whitespace and dtml code only at the start of the method. I think this bug was fixed in 2.2.

The comment implies it should work. There's a cPersistent in the ZODB directory, which I think is the ExtensionClass you are looking for. from ZODB.cPersistence import Persistent seems to do something...but PersistentMapping.py in the ZODB directory just does an 'import Persistence', so I don't see why that doesn't work when I try it from the python command line. --RDM ___ 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 )

The standard TextIndex implementation records a notion of "position" for each occurence of each word indexed. I *think* this position is a word count position, but I'm not sure. Part of the code references a 'row', but it isn't at all clear that that has any relationship to a source record. If it is a word count, the other thing you'd need to check would be whether it is a word count before or after splitter activity. I think it's the latter, which makes things more complicated. Or just means you have to use more fuzz in your context . > This would be nice to have out of the box. The TextIndex 'position' information is intended to be used for the 'near' operator (...) (so you can search on multiple words "close" to each other for some definition of close). You could also use it to enforce word order (Maybe the "" operator does that?). Currently I think the result of applying the near operator is used to adjust the "weight" of the index match, which affects the order of the results returned. (I haven't tested to see if any of this works!) So, the basic information you are looking for is there in some sense to establish the position, but you'd still have to retrieve the original sentences from the object itself, or from a full-text metadata field. Both of these are going to be memory intensive operations. If you index based on, say, individual lines, you'd loose some of the the benefits of the near operator, though. So I'd say indexing based on paragraphs would probably be your best approach. This would also help mask position errors introduced if the word count is indeed post-splitter. Of course, you'll have to decend to python to get access to the methods that will return the actual position information. But at least the code to record it is already there. Take a look at lib/python/SearchIndex/TextIndex.py for source enlightenment. --RDM ___ 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 )

Which seems a little bit broken to me, since unless I missed something you have to choose not to add a vocabulary when you first create the ZCatalog, and then go add one with substring checked from the management screens afterwards. In the code the difference between the checkbox checked and not checked is two different lexicon implementations, not just the setting of a flag. So you can't just change the flag, you have to see to it that the whole lexicon gets rebuilt. I haven't checked into how you do that yet . As for your question about different vocabularies, punctuation, and globbing support, all of that happens at the lexicon level. That is, the lexicon implements the breaking up of strings into indexable words (calling the splitter) and it also implements the expansion of wildcards into matches. It gets to do that *before* the text index machinery parses the query, so it can decide on the syntax rules, as far as I can see. So if you want a Vocabulary that supports punctuation and globbing, you'll have to write one, and then *you* get to decide what the syntax is to handle the case you ask about . --RDM ___ 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 )

I knew I'd read it somewhere! First I ran through the help menu, but I must have looked at File/Image Add and missed File/Image Edit. Then I looked at an Image (I had no File objects handy), and when I saw that the help tab for the Edit, page had no description of precondition, and indeed that there was no way to set it, I figured the docs for it must only be in the API section. But the API section does not discuss *any* of the call paramters. So I thought it was undocumented. Since the code supports preconditions on an Image, is this an interface error or a design decision (the latter seems more likely)? If it's a design decision, shouldn't precondition still be documented in the Image api help doc? This is an example of a systematic problem with the (very useful ) help docs as they stand: if the API docs implicitly assume that the parameters are documented in the corresponding management interface panel then there should at least by a cross link; and if there are sometimes parameters that are *not* documented on the manage page, then that needs to be taken into account somehow. --RDM ___ 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 uses the __setstate__ method for handling this case in Python products. I think there's a howto somewhere but I'm not sure. If not you can find examples of calling it in the Zope sources.

No limits other than those imposed by the OS file system (ie: Linux is currently limited to 2GB Data.fs files). If your large objects are static, placing them in the ZODB is reasonable. If they are dynamic, then your Data.fs is going to grown *fast* (a new 15MB chuck for every change to the object).

Any objects that you want to be automatically updated in the Catalog must have CatalogAware as one of their base classes. And then you have to add a reindex_object call to any forms that add or update them. (I fail to understand why one has to explictly call reindex_object when properties change, even though I think someone tried to explain it to me once). I suppose you could do something similar with non-catalog aware objects, where you made sure the add/update forms called the Catalog to index them, but they wouldn't get deleted from the catalog automatically, or reindexed automaticaly when moved. If you are writing your own management screens for those operations, though, you could make it all work, I think. You could also use ZSchedular to perioducally run the commands to reindex your site, if instaneous reindexing is not a requirement. --RDM ___ 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 )

Well, unfortunately there is no one place you can go to to find
out about zope errors. In fact, I'm not sure I've seen the zope
error machinery documented anywhere (and documenting it involves
discussing exactly how the dtml interpretation machinery works, which
would be a good document all by itself ).
I can tell you what is happening in this case, I think. You will note
that in the part of the traceback I quoted above the last Object listed
is your line that takes slices out of ns_entrydate ([n:m] is called
a 'slice' in Python jargon). The error received is a 'getslice' error.
So it looks like the zope machinery got an error when it tried to
take a slice of ns_entrydate.
Since Python is an OO language and operators can be defined for any
object (well, more or less), whatever type ns_entrydate is *could*
have defined a slice operator. It appears, however, that whatever type
it is, it does *not* define one, since __getslice__ is being flagged
as a non-existent attribute, and that is the attribute that the
object's class would have to define, as a function, in order to
implement the slice operator.
>From your code it appears you believe ns_entrydate is a string. Is
it possible that it is instead some sort of datetime object? If
so, then you'd have to call a function on it that returns the string
you want to parse, and call the slice operators on the returned
string. But if it is a DateTime object, you can probably just call
functions to get exactly the strings you want without having
to slice anyway.
I hope this helps.

That'll never fly. Does that work? I wouldn't expect it to. The :lines coercion expects the input to be CR separated strings, not the python string representation of a sequence.

Actually, it creates a renderable DTML object, I think. Which
might be saying the same thing.
What calls it is the Zope management framework. Somewhere you
should find manage_roleForm getting assigned into a structure like
manage_options= or some such.
In short, magic .

I changed the file from > Publisher to PDF using Acrobat--should I have used some other method? Moving it to different locations on the network shouldn't make any difference. And once you upload it to Zope, the data being sent to the client browser is coming from data stored inside Zope, so at that point the network location of the file would be irrelevant. Did you try viewing the converted file before you uploaded it? Perhaps the conversion process produced a blank document? Otherwise... it sounds like Zope is returning something, but the data is invalid in some way. Perhaps if you tried doing a 'save' instead of viewing the link to the file, and you look at the contents of what gets downloaded, it might give you a clue. If you had a way to capture the data stream returned by accessing the file for viewing that would be better (say by telnetting to the web service port and typing in the get command by hand). --RDM ___ 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 )

How did you go about creating the file? What URL were you trying to access when you got the resource not found message?

Not quite true. dtml only recognizes " for surrounding dtml expressions.
But you are right that they are equivalent in python.

To call functions or methods: blah(somearg). But also used for
grouping in expressions: a * (b+c), and for delimiting immutable sequences:
('thing', 'secondthing').
> [] are for arrays (aka list, aka tables) or dictionnaries (aka mappings)
[] can be used to index into sequences: a[3], or to slice out a
portion of a sequence: a[2:4] (see the python guide for more).
Also key lookup out of dictionaries/mappings. But to *define*
dictionaries you use {}: {'key1': 'val1', 'key2': 'val2'}.
The most confusing part is the interface between dtml and python.
in an expr, inside the quotes you are in python and things follow
python syntax rules. This gets really confusing when you have
dtml variables that have hyphens in them, since in python that's
the subtraction symbol. So inside a python expression, you have
to look up such symbols in the dtml name space. The dtlm namespace
is named '_', and is a mapping. So you have things like:
which prints out a number one greater than the current sequence-index.
You can leave off the 'expr=' above, and because of the "s, dtml
will assume it. This is the way most dtml is written, with the
expr= or name= left out, and that can be very confusing when you
don't know the rules; see the dtml guide.
This is but the briefest introduction to this topic, but hopefully
it will make a few things clearer.
