For those of us supporting legacy Plone 2.0 sites, there is no "Clear and Rebuild" button on the Advanced tab of the portal_tool. So I've taken the code from the Catalog tool on Plone 2.1 and turned it into an External method... Plone and XML-RPC object creation

I'm just starting to investigate XML-RPC as a way of shifting content between Plone sites. This "ZopeLabs recipe":http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1109890980 seems like a good place to start. The state of the art in Plone AJAX support

If you want to see what is going on in Plone AJAX, with a full and useful description of how the main contenders work (Bling, KSS), then read "this post":http://lists.plone.org/pipermail/framework-team/2006-September/000584.html M$ Outlook to Mail.app - Welcome to the Hotel California

Trying to get my mail out of MS Outlook on a Windows box to Mail.app on my new iBook has highlighted for me exactly why I hate Microsoft stuff. Microsoft provide plenty of input filters to suck you in, but once they get your data in their format, it is *extremely* painful to get it out again. It feels like *you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave* ;) Welcome to the new look Lawtec website

We've finally moved from a CMFDefault based site to a Plone (ZopeZen skin) site. The UI still needs some adjustment, but things are looking quite good now. Hope you like it. Mono v DotNet - Bad for Linux?

There was a bit of a gloom and doom "article":http://librenix.com/?inode=3501 linked to on slashdot today about "DotNet and Mono":http://librenix.com/?inode=3501 suggesting that if Microsoft sued Mono for patent infringement, then Linux would suffer.

I've been trying to set up a HTML form with a select field. I wanted to be able to pass a value in the URL (eg http://lawtec.net/app?comm=1) and have the select field selected on the form when the index matches the value passed. It took a fair bit of playing around, and in the end, it turned out to be a type mismatch between the index and the value passed which was making it fail. Anyway, I've included it in case I need to do it again. Automatic organisation of your news folder

I posted a recipe on "ZopeLabs":http://www.zopelabs.com/ a while back which allowed for the creation of a 'Post News' action which would automatically create a News Item in the current folder and take you straight to the metadata_edit_form. But now I've improved it to group these created news items by monthly folders... Learning the Oracle Data Dictionary

In Access and SQL Server, you can set a field to be of type Autonumber. It then automatically increments the value in the field every time you add a new record. Oracle doesn't have this field type, but you can do it. Instructions follow. RedHat, Unicode and funny characters in man pages

I could never work out why I always got strange characters in man pages. But I recently discovered the reason, and the solution. It all has to do with RedHat 8 turning on Unicode support by default... Retrieving a list of items - here and everywhere

There are of course multiple ways to do things. When I first learned how to get a list of items of a particular type from a folder, I was pretty happy. Now I've finally realised that you don't necessarily want to limit yourself to the current folder. What follows is my first unassisted expedition into the ZCatalog. Inserting Data using ZSQL Methods

Yes, it's potentially dangerous, but I really like the way "perlmonks.org":http://perlmonks.org/ lets you stay logged in from day-to-day. I'm using Zope on an Intranet site, so I wanted to set this for a CMF Site. Instructions follow. Cross-browser WYSIWYG HTML editor for Zope

I'm interested in WYSIWYG text editor components, but because I use Mozilla, I've never really gone in for the CMFVisualEditor. Besides which, it isn't installed on my Zope host. Read on for details of my experiments with HTMLArea by interactivetools.com. |
