accentued character input
by Service Informatique CHSR 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

Hello, Using accentued characters in properties (I'm french) can pose problems. All editing forms in Zope and many products I have seen are written as: ... <input type=text name=field value=""> ... But should be written as: ... <input type=text name=field value=""> ... Let the title be "Formulaire d'édition". I write: "Formulaire d'édition" on a Windows platform, which is correctly input into the base. But it is displayed as "Formulaire d'édition" (yo, viva HTML!). So, if I hit "Save changes" twice, "Formulaire d'édition" is put in the database. Now if I try to browse the document from Unix, I can see a little box instead of "é". Zope is not the only product affected by this. I had the same problem with TinyTable, and some others. My current Zope installation is heavily modified :-(, so I won't submit the patch, but you know what to do. PS: I should have used the Collector to report this, but I don't have access to internet today. What about a mail gateway to the Collector? Regards, Jephte CLAIN Service Informatique

The #in tag and spanning multiple rows in tables
by Itai Tavor 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

I'm displaying rows of data (stored in a TinyTable) with the #in tag. The first data column is a year, and if two or more rows have the same year I need to show the year once in a ROWSPAN cell. The start-nnn and end-nnn tell me when to do this, but I can't know the number of rows to span. Is there any way to find this out? When I couldn't find any, I patched DocumentTemplate/DT_InSV.py to return a more-nnn variable that returns how many more items have the same nnn value as the current item. So I can do:  <DL ROWSPAN=>  </DL>  But I'm really an absolute beginner in Zope... especially when it comes to the source. Does this look like a good thing to do? Here's the patch if anyone's interested, or if anyone wants to critique my code: *** DT_InSV.py.old Mon Apr 26 13:32:05 1999 --- DT_InSV.py Mon Apr 26 13:39:59 1999 *************** *** 193,196 **** --- 193,209 ---- return self.value(index,name) != self.value(index+1,name) + def more(self,name,key=''): + data=self.data + index=data['sequence-index'] + if data.has_key('sequence-step-end'): + end=data['sequence-step-end'] + else: + end=len(self.items) + m=0 + for i in range(data['sequence-index'],end-1): + if self.value(i,name) != self.value(i+1,name): break + m=m+1 + return m + def length(self, ignored): l=self.data['sequence-length']=len(self.items) *************** *** 362,365 **** --- 375,379 ---- 'first': first, 'last': last, + 'more': more, 'previous': previous_batches, 'next': next_batches, -- Itai Tavor -- "Je sautille, donc je suis." -- itavor(a)vic.bigpond.net.au -- - Kermit the Frog -- -- -- -- "If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything" --

Well, I added a real Zope user and it didn't help. I cannot seem to access *any* methods, like index_html for example. Anything that has a valid path gives a 401 Unauthorized error, anything that doesn't have a valid path give me an object not found. I'm not sure if it is pertinent, but I have Zope set up with apache so that root folder has no name - http://some.box.com/ runs the pcgi wrapper script. I noticed in the Zope Debugger doc that the syntax was "contaniner/method", but when I try to call a method in a folder of the root level, (Reports/index_html) it is always "not found". I'm sure I'm not understanding how to reference the methods correctly, but I'm at a loss.... > > Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com > Software Engineer 540.371.6909 > Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com Brian Brown > > _______________________________________________ > Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev > > (For non-developer, user-level issues, use the companion list, > zope(a)zope.org, http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Debugging woes...
by Brian Brown 23 Apr '99

23 Apr '99

On April 19th I posted a problem try to get the ZOracleDA working, and am continuing to troubleshoot - I am running the Zope Debugger via the following script: python /opt/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Test.py -e id="Oracle_database_connection" -e title="Z Oracle Database Connection" -e connection_string="system/manager@openview" -e check="YES" -e AUTHENTICATED_USER=formus -d /opt/Zope/lib/python/Main /manage_addZOracleConnection (I added the carriage returns to make it easier to read). This is the output I recieve: -------------------------- root:(/opt/Zope)#sh dbtest * Type "s<cr>c<cr>" to jump to beginning of real publishing process. * Then type c<cr> to jump to the beginning of the URL traversal algorithm. * Then type c<cr> to jump to published object call. > <string>(0)?() pdb> s > <string>(1)?() pdb> c > /opt/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py(312)publish() -> def publish(self, module_name, after_list, published='web_objects', pdb> c > /opt/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py(312)ModulePublisher() -> def publish(self, module_name, after_list, published='web_objects', pdb> c > /opt/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py(598)ModulePublisher() -> def call_object(self,object,args): pdb> c Status: 401 Unauthorized Www-Authenticate: basic realm="Main" Bobo-Exception-File: /opt/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py Bobo-Exception-Type: Unauthorized Content-Type: text/html Bobo-Exception-Value: <strong>You are not authorized to access this resource.</strong> Content-Length: 417 Bobo-Exception-Line: 297 <html><head></head> <strong>You are not authorized to access this resource.</strong> --Return-- > <string>(1)?()->None pdb> exit ----------------------------------------- I at first tried it without the AUTHENTICATED_USER variable, but it gives me the same output. I don't understand how to get access to the method - I've even changed the zope permissions to allow an anonymous user to add ZOracleDA Connections and view management screens. Any ideas??? In need, Brian

Am I doing something wrong - Internal Error with missing required arg
by skip＠mojam.com 23 Apr '99

23 Apr '99

I have the following simple form: <FORM method="GET" action="http://cm-29-94-14.nycap.rr.com/search"> Performer: <INPUT type="text" name="performers:required" value=""> <INPUT type="submit" value="Search"> </FORM> If I submit the form without filling in the input field I get an error code 500 instead of a "No input for required field" message. This is what ZServer spits out: Server Error: exceptions.ValueError, No input for required field performers<p>: file: /home/killer-whale/skip/src/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Converters.py line: 114 Any suggestions?

New way to build objects?
by Paulo Eduardo Neves 23 Apr '99

23 Apr '99

Hi, people complained to me that a product that I've made isn't working in the CVS Zope version. I've checked it and it looks like that the way to create folder objects has changed. There's even a new factory object. I want to know if there is some simple way to make object creation work in 10.2 and in the new Zope. regards, -- Paulo Eduardo Neves mailto:neves@inf.puc-rio.br PUC-Rio de Janeiro

Line wrapping problem at zope sites
by Robert OConnor 23 Apr '99

23 Apr '99

The text in the right side of the main ZOPE page exhibits the proper line wrapping as one expands and contracts the browser window on the right hand side. [#1] http://www.zope.org Some other pages on zope have a wrap problem, for example [#2]: http://zdp.zope.org/FAQ/all The first paragraph that starts "This FAQ is a project of the Zope Documentation Project, and...." This paragraph continues as one line and continues off the right edge of the window. If one clicks on the link at the bottom, "printable page", [#3] http://zdp.zope.org/FAQ/all?pp=1 all is well and moving the right edge moves properly wraps the text as into a multi line paragraph. This seems to be a problem with how text is formatted when it is part of a "Zope headlines" _table_ with the zope logo and shortcuts on the left as seen in #1 & #2. The source looks ok for this paragraph: (note: parens used instead of bbrackets here) (p) This FAQ is a project of the Zope Documentation Project, and aims to answer any (or at least lost) questions you might have about Zope and how to use it.(/p) So it must be something with the table used. This problem is seen both with IE5 and NS4.5 -Bob

Timezones
by Robert Leftwich 21 Apr '99

21 Apr '99

I sent this mail to the standard mailing list, when it was probably best sent here (apologies if you receive it twice) As I work in Australia I would like to add support for our timezones to the DateTime/DateTimeZone files. Adding the data to DateTime.py is fine but can anyone describe the format of the data in DateTimeZone.py as it somewhat cryptic to say the least ? TIA Robert Leftwich
