I am a system administrator who maintains our Zope servers. I don't
know that much
about python or zope, just enough to upgrade and trouble shooting
from time to time.
Of course, the developers who have developed the system are no longer
here.
I try to move a site from Zope 2.7.4 (python 2.4) to a new server
with Zope 2.9.4 (python 2.4.3),
after some struggle, I have fixed most of the problems, but one that
I don't have much clue. I hope
that expert here can shed some light for me.
Here are section of code that displays part the of some abstract
<dtml-let
rand1="get_random_image()"
cap1="get_folder_title(name=rand1)"
text="get_abstract_sample(name=rand1)">
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr>
The function get_abstract_sample
is here
for object in container.research.objectValues():
a = object.getId()
if (a == name):
text = object.research_description_html.read()
else:
pass
text = str(text)
return text[0:400] + '...'
The above code work fine for the 2.7.4 server, but fails for 2.9.4
server, it will
ask for authentication password for 2.9.4, no user/password combination
will work. If I modify it as follows (for 2.9.4 server)
for object in container.research.objectValues():
a = object.getId()
if (a == name):
text = object.research_description_html
text = str(text)
return text[0:400] + '...'
Getting rid of read() for the 2.9.4 server solve the authentication
problem and
display the web page but with some unpleasant
<P> and other HTML tags literally (It doesn't for the old 2.7.4 server).
I would love to hear suggestions and advices from this group to get
rid of
the literal <P> and other HTML tags. Thank you very much for your help.
Thank you very much for your attention.
