[Zope] Learning ZOPE - a useful guide

2001-01-09 Thread Lloyd Kvam

I have been struggling to figure out Zope.  It is a complicated product and it
is very hard to know where to begin.  This link provides a general guide as how
to proceed.  What should you learn first?  What comes next?  While I am sure
there is more than one way to answer those questions, this guide does a terrific
job.

 A Developer's Guide to Learning Zope Howto v1.0.2
 http://itamarst.org/learningzope/index.html

I would recommend adding it to the zopeNewbies listings.

I did finally get that to work.  My actual table has a string id, so did it with:


I did not need the
expr=

Thank you for your response.

Re: [Zope] passing parameters in a call/in/with

2000-12-26 Thread Lloyd Kvam

This is also a problem for me.

>From using ZNOLK I have a DTML document that uses dtml-in to execute a query.
The query is get_names_for_id and is:
select name from name_table where id = 

I can now call the form using:
http://localhost:8080/form?chosen_id=123

My dtml form would be simpler if there was a way to code:


I was unable to make that work.

[Zope] Generating HTML and SQL from results of Describe Table queries.

2000-12-15 Thread Lloyd Kvam

I would like to generate the necessary DTML Documents and Z SQL Methods to
provide list, add, update, and delete capabilities for each table in a MySQL
database.  I know (in principle) how to parse the results of describe table
queires and create reasonable default files with the proper sql and html
content.

My next step is to move the html and sql into ZOPE.  T. J. Mannos has written
how to apply wrappers to html to turn them into DTML Documents.  I could not
find any equivalent description for Z SQL Methods.

Any pointers would be appriciated.  Has anyone done this already?  Would I be
smarter to try to do this directly in ZOPE rather than trying to build the
pieces outside of ZOPE and then import them?

Re: [Zope] mySQL DA on Win32

2000-12-14 Thread Lloyd Kvam

I came across links that recommended recompiling both MySQL and the MySQL DA.  I
did so without too much difficuly.  The batch compile scripts did not work, but
compiling through the MicroSoft IDE did work.  The source code I pulled down
required the Microsoft compiler, not gcc++.

I still have the download files.  I could also send you the results of my
compilations.  I do not remember the URL's I used to get these files, but it was
probably through the mysql web site.
