Topics covered 1. Partially working DTML, 2. a question about where to find menus defined, 3. I note that dtml-var totally breaks down, 4. a question about other bluebream templating languages,and 5. general comments about paths that did not work.
Here is the zope hello world application. http://204.109.58.34:8087/DTMLPage Really easy to do. Just click on the create a DTMLPage link, Type in Hello World, and give it a page name, and you are done. Zope is so easy at this level. That is why I love it. I am even able to edit it. http://204.109.58.34:8087/DTMLPage/edit.html But life is not so simple. There is no edit link. In order to get it running, I had to remove menu="zmi_views" from <browser:editform schema=".interfaces.IDTMLPage" name="edit.html" label="Edit a DTML page" permission="zope.ManageContent" /> And the preview menu item declaration had the same problem. Here is the error message with menu included. ConfigurationError: ('Invalid value for', 'menu', "ImportError: Couldn't import zmi_views, No module named zmi_views") The menus must be called something else now. I took a look at the docs here. http://apidoc.zope.org/++apidoc++/ZCML/http_co__sl__sl_namespaces.zope.org_sl_browser/page/index.html It defined the menu field of the directive. So what should I be calling the menu if not 'zmi_views' ? I can dig around and find it, but I am not quite sure where to look. I looked in zope.app.rotterdam/configure.zcml and in ztfy.zmi/configure.zcml no mention of any menu item names there. Where are these things defined? Where do I look for the menus names? Or what menu name should I be using? And then when I tried to use dtml-var as in Hello Again <dtml-var DTMLPage> The whole thing blew up. You can see the error message here. http://204.109.58.34:8087/Using-dtml-var Maybe DTML is just dead. I do not like page templates either. I wonder if there is a different page templating language for bluebream that works. I thought people would be curious how progress is going. Yesterday I spent a very frustrating day trying to get ZAM running with ZTFY BlueBream. Way too painful. good to start with something simple. BlueBream is an enormous library of code, with lots of complicated models. I mostly get it, but it is like trying to build a house on an iceberg. One false move, the whole thing tips over. It needs a simpler interface. I am getting there. small step at a time. -- Regards Christopher Lozinski Check out my iPhone apps TextFaster and EmailFaster http://textfaster.com Expect a paradigm shift. http://MyHDLClass.com:8080 _______________________________________________ bluebream mailing list [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/bluebream
