In may memory, the "." where somewhere else (but I do not use DTML for a long time). Anyway: Use the "prefix" attribute of "dtml-in" and replace your "template" above with "_item".

Two possibilities that I can think of:
1) you have a variable called AR-DA-08 and do not have a variable called
AR-DA-07
2) you have a variable called AR (and possibly another variable called DA),
which when evaluated as a mathematical expression (AR minus DA - 08)
provides a result, but when 07 is subtracted, an invalid result is obtained.
But, as others have noted, this does not appear to be what you are looking
to accomplish!

On save of a DTML Method, why would this dtml-call fail:
With the error:
"Expression (Python) Syntax error: invalid token"
Whereas this works fine:
I doubt any of that really "works". So you happen
to have the variables named "AR" and "DA" defined
as numerical values somewhere? Otherwise the expression
makes no sense at all. The leading 0 in 08 and 07 indicates
you might have a completely other illusion on what's going on.
Any reason you cannot write in a python script something like:
REQUEST.SESSION.set('some_resonable_named_variable','AR-DA-07') ?
Could you explain in plain english what your final goal
of your construction is?

There are a zillion ways to do that in zope... urllib/urllib2 as suggested, or you can use the callRemote() features of a sufficiently recent ZSyncer (see the README), or use zope's built-in XMLRPC server and on the client side use python's xmlrpclib. The latter two options are nice because they give you native python objects on both ends of the wire.

Forwarding requests means you trust the users browser to do the right thing. Maybe you can instead make a subrequest by means of urllib and friends. Construct url (e.g. GET-parameters) is easy: in a python script: from ZTUtils import make_query targeturl="http://other.server/script?"+make_query(**context.REQUEST.form) (untested) should work. To construct form elements there is a similar function in ZTUtils, but I dont remember the name w/o looking at the source.

Re: [Zope] DTML-In with date/time filter
You are going to have to loop thru the documents and use 'getProperty' to
access the date property field on the document. Then you will need to
compare the date value (the Zope Book V2.6 has a good description of
dates/time usage) to see if it is in the range you need. You could use a
python script to do this loop/compare and return a list of document ids
which you could then display via your DTML-in stmt.
If you have a lot of documents this could be a very expensive approach. You
might want to have a look at ZCatalog.

Now I want to use DTML-IN to display all the dtml documents except the

I also use the size and batchsize property to create links to the next

Just drop this DTML... or at least get help from python:
return [doc for doc in context.objectValues('DTML Document') if
doc.getProperty('a')!='de']
(python script or the like would be your friend - also
it makes it possible to replace the quite costy objectValues()

You will see this in the list archives several times in the past. Depending on the object, id is a method and not an simple attribute. To be on the save side (instead of figuring out what it is actually) always use: getId() Btw. does not use the id the same way like . Try and you will see the method signature (view document source in the browser) I'd recommend doing that all in a python script and then use the prepared data in your DTML - oder later ZPT. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Re: [Zope] DTML parsing outside of Zope

No. I've actually found a way to do it without starting zope (thus,
not using the ZODB).
The trick was in import nvSQL from DA.py and use that. It works now, I
can now parse and run ZSQL methods on the filesystem without having
any zope running.
I'm going to tidy my script and post it on my blog soon.

Subject: [Zope] DTML parsing outside of Zope
I would like to be able to parse a very basic DTML string (a
ZSQLMethod on the file system actually) outside Zope, ie. without
having the whole zserver running.
The DTML inside the string is very basic. It doesn't use REQUEST or
aqcuisition. It's using and stuff.
I've tried looking on the source code but it's so damn complicated for
me. Can anybody give me a headstart on this?
If you are trying to access the zodb without having zope running, here are a
couple of ways to make it happen:
# method #1
import os, sys, traceback
sys.path.append("/apps/zope/lib/python")
import Zope
app=Zope.app()
from Testing import makerequest
app = makerequest.makerequest(app)
# method #2
import os, sys
sys.path.append("/apps/zope/lib/python")
import Zope
import time
app=Zope.app()
Once you have 'app' you can do things like:
REQUEST = app.REQUEST

Re: [Zope] DTML bug with database arrays in sqltest
Do you mean external methods with db api for 1)? I find I can use a plain statement like this in DTML ... but I cannot make it conditional. To bad you couldn't use ZPT instead to make ZSQL methods since it is XML or even some kind of XML schema just for making queries. It wouldn't have to be that rich to get pretty much all the SQL commands in it. You could embed as well this way so long as it validated.

I need to be able to compare a string value in a specific position of a text array field (text[] is a field type in Postgres) against a variable(argument) I am passing to my query. I am only using parts of the query to illustrate the problem as the rest is irrelevant. I replaced the table, field names and arguments with names that might make this more understandable.First.

transfer this to DTML or use a python script for coding

Re: [Zope] dtml sessions
Ah ha! you have as method that is supposed to be private to a particular user. You should set the view permission for the method to be "Authorized User" and have the method test for the particular user and do nothing if the current user is not the right one. A more general mechanism would be to create a local role for privileged users and set the view permission for the dtml-method to be that role. The you can give any user that role in acl_users and they will automagically have access rights to that method. Good web design suggests that the navigation to this special method be controlled by the role as well so there's no button to push if the user is not allowed to push the button.

Re: [Zope] DTML in Zope 2 vs Zope 3
Ah you are right. Just occured to me. That is kind of a pain in DTML, but I've learned how to deal with it. Makes sense. If I already have an object, say from a form submitted, in the REQUEST namespace, and I then retrieve data from sql and a column has the same name, I will have an issue. Which one is going to display in my var? I deal with this particular issue by changing my zsql method to return the column name differently, but there are other times when this may arise and it is a problem. And this causes you to have to do a bunch of messy dtml-call REQUEST.set's to set your vars correctly. I have learned how to deal with these things, but you are right, this is a problem with DTML and I can see how this exact issue helps make DTML messy and a little confusing. Great point. Thanks.

Re: [Zope] DTML in Zope 2 vs Zope 3
Using DTML from WYSIWYG editors is definitely a drawback. But, how many of us use them for doing our work? I might use Dreamweaver to clean up my sliced web template, but soon as I start my Zope work, it's all Crimson Editor coding by hand to Zope. Using Dreamweaver actually slows me down, it's easier to just code it. However, from a newbie perspective, not being able to run my Zope content in my fancy, drag'n'drop editor really bugged me a long time a go. Saying DTML sucks is only stating your difference of oppinion. At least give us some insight as to why it sucks. Technical, usability, or even marketing reasons would be helpful. But, come on DUH? Everybody will have their preference of languages, and even the way they like to layout the code. So I understand that some of us like DTML and some dont. All that aside, DTML may be ugly, but I dont agree. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :) Well, aside from the fact that you cant use DTML in WYSIWYG editors, I still dont understand why it is not good. If it is simple, easy to use, and it does the job, and I suppose, if you prefer it, why is it not good to use? I've beaten this subject to death, so time to move on. Thanks for hearing me out.

Well, it used to be. But logic crept into ZPTs as well. The good thing is to set up all the data in a python script or python method, and then use the template only to display this data. Zope3 has this separation "built-in", when you create a page with a template it automatically gets connected to a "view" which is a python class, and you can specify your own custom view and set up the data there. In Zope 2 you have to call a script that creates the data, or reversely, use the script as the main view and let it call the template. (I don't know how easy that last thing is with DTML, but the first one works).

Re: [Zope] DTML in Zope 2 vs Zope 3
Wow, thanks for the replies guys. It's good to hear I am not the only one who likes DTML. Tino, thanks for the explanations. I have some thoughts below on that, and keep in mind, I am questioning from my own ignorance. Tino Wrote: > The major drawbacks of DTML are: > > - one namespace (with transparent layers) One namespace? Why do you need more? I havent had any problems with one. Can you give some examples of why this is important or how it would be useful? > - confusing naming of tags, like which > really is or something Well I realize that it could be named something else, but it never occured to me. I dont think it's confusing. I mean, in DTML you use 4 tags more than any other, IN, VAR, IF, and CALL. Simple. And if there is one thing I have learned over the few years I have been programming, it is to keep it simple. Simple works. > - and the extra tags for flow control, but probably > the dtml fans can live with it. Yeah, simple. We can live with it, particularly since we can call more detailed functionality from Python. > - peoples practice to use even inside > html-tags attributes, where &dtml-foo; should be used. Hmm.. Never thought of that one as I too just use the full . I can see now that it might make readability a little better to use &dtml, but is there a technical reason for using it that way? Thank you again for your input Tino. I can understand the need to take Zope to another level, its the nature of things to keep them growing. And changing Zope to fit the needs of large scale applications is good, I just hate to see the sacrifice of the smaller apps needs. I probably will never get to work on enterprise class systems, in fact I really dont want to, but Zope works beautifully for the small web apps and that's what I want to work on. I wonder what the ratio is of Zope users who use small apps to those who do large apps? Thanks again!

ZPT, which have "separation argument" is not as easy to make totally This is even somewhat correct. If people had the discipline to not abuse the templating to do complicated logic.
