[Zope-dev] Interesting namespace observation
I have a method in the root of my application called getProxies
that queries a catalog for a given metatype.
I have a folder in the root called Platforms with a method
called selectInstance that renders a series of checkbox tags.
I call selectInstance method from an adjacent folder with
dtml-with Platforms dtml-var selectInstance /dtml-with
This is how this method look at first:
dtml-let
control_set=setControl(_, 'PlatformID')
control_name=control_set[0]
control_value=control_set[1]
control_type='checkbox'
num_columns=3
dtml-in getProxies('Platform') sort=Name prefix=platform
dtml-let
item=platform_item.id
display_item=platform_item.Name
dtml-var inputTag
/dtml-let
/dtml-in
/dtml-let
Doing the above gives a key error for getProxies, however if
I move getProxies into the let tag it does _not_:
dtml-let
control_set=setControl(_, 'PlatformID')
control_name=control_set[0]
control_value=control_set[1]
control_type='checkbox'
num_columns=3
proxies=getProxies('Platform')
dtml-in proxies sort=Name
dtml-let
item=id
display_item=Name
dtml-var inputTag
/dtml-let
/dtml-in
/dtml-let
It seems like dtml-let is doing something with the namespace
that makes it impossible for the subsequent dtml-in tag to
find the getProxies method in the root.
Any ideas why?

[Zope-dev] Sequencing question
Ooops, sorry, sent this by mistake before I had finished try again Hi all First-time posting from a Zope newbie ... hopefully someone can help I have defined a number of ClientProjects within Zope and I am trying to display these in a number of ways, filtered by object property values. So, for example, I want to display all client projects, or perhaps only those marketing projects, ie. where the marketing property has a value. I display the client project titles in an HTML table, 3 per row, and for all projects this works OK - I use the sequence-number to control the table formatting, and the index sequence is unbroken when all objects are displayed. My problem arises when I have a sub-set of projects to display, because the sequence-number and sequence-index values still seem to relate to the full set of objects. So if the sub-set only comprises objects 7 8 (eg the only marketing projects), the sequence-number is not reset automatically to 1 2 - they remain at 7 8. The same applies to the property sequence-index. So the way I check for the 3rd item in the collection, using sequence-number, does not work becuase the sequence number is not guaranteed to start at 1. I think I need a Python function to query and return a subset of objects, but how do I go about writing such an external method ? And how does it access my Zope ClientProject objects ? I also looked at using dtml-let and trying to keep a separate count ticking along, but seem to run into trouble with the variable's scope. Or is there an easier way around this that I have missed ? Any ideas ?

This is not a valid syntax, you should have::
dtml-in getProxies('Platform') sort=Name prefix=platform
Note the double quotes around the getProxies call. In order not to use
the double quotes, you'd have not to pass any parameters to getProxies
as in:
dtml-in getProxies sort=Name prefix=platform
Oopps, I think my eyes got really tired - I was refactoring about 200
methods.
I must have known it is something like this becuase in some places it
worked, hehe :)
Apologies for the cross posting - I thought this was raly
interesting.

[Zope-dev] [OPINIONS SOLICITED] Adding Batch Factory to ZMI Add menu OK?
Hello: I am about to release a new version of the ExternalFile and CVSFile products http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile They are Zope objects that behave like standard Zope objects but retrieve their content from files anywhere in the file system. (kind of like a windows shortcut or UNIX symbolic link) I would like to include a way to automatically create an instance for every file within a directory: a batch flavor. Previously, one would have to select ExternalFile from the Add menu in ZMI for each and every file, one at a time. For large directories, this is a major pain. The way I have implemented this is to create a new pseudo object -- basically a factory for creating batches of ExternalFiles: ExternalFileBatch You select External File Batch from the Add menu in ZMI and you get a form that allows you to specify the directory. Here is the code for ExternalFileBatch.py: def manage_batch_add(self, target_dir, basedir='', REQUEST=None): Factory method to actually create a batch of instances of ExternalFile. message = h2External File Batch Create Results:/h2 try: filelist = dirlist(os.path.join(basedir,target_dir)) if len(filelist) == 0: message = message + No files found. for fileid, filepath in filelist: message = message + Object instance ' + \ fileid + \ ' successfully created, pointing to file: + \ filepath + br/ self._setObject(fileid, ExternalFile(fileid, '', '', filepath)) self._getOb(fileid).reindex_object() except OSError, e: message = message + str(e) return MessageDialog(title = 'results', message = message, action = 'manage_main') # ExternalFileBatch class class ExternalFileBatch: ExternalFileBatch is a factory for creating instances of ExternalFile a batch at a time meta_type = 'External File Batch' As you can see, ExternalFileBatch is not much of a class. It is really just a Factory for creating instances of another class, namely ExternalFile. An alternative would have been to create an additional tab in the ZMI for Folders which allows you to create instances of ExternalFile. I could do this by monkeypatching Folders, or by creating an ExternalFileFolder class. There are advantages and disadvantages either way. I don't like ExternalFileFolder b/c ExternalFiles are not supposed to be anything special. The whole point is to be able to use them in ANY context in which you would use a standard Zope object. Thoughts? --Craeg ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
Re: [Zope-dev] [OPINIONS SOLICITED] Adding Batch Factory to ZMIAdd menu OK?
Hello Craeg I particularly prefer the factory aproach. Zope users are already used to that approach because of the Z Search Interface. I think you shouldn't need a dummy class just to be able to create such a factory, but right now I don't know how you'd go about creating a factory without a class. As for an ExternalFileFolder, it would be useful if it automatically created objects when they are added to the respective directory (automatically as in, it checks for new objects when you look at the object list (manage_main), or when you try to access a previously inexistant (sp.) object. Although, because of Data.fs write-on-read concerns, you might want this automation to be configurable on a folder by folder basis). An ExternalFolder might also provide a view or tab to configure default attributes of newly discovered objects. The objects created this way would obviously be regular ExternalFile objects, and you could copy/cut and paste them outside of the ExternalFileFolder object.
