wiggysvn.zope.org has lots and lots of code00:03
junkafarianand that calls "views/standard_macros/view"00:04
junkafarianwhich i assume is referencing a zope module placed on the python path?00:04
junkafarianwiggy: i dont like trial-and-error programming :P00:05

wiggyjap: what's up with zc.buildout?11:55
japi'm working on an app which needs lxml and installs that during buildout11:56
japhowever, it's linking lxml to libxml in /opt instead of the one in /usr11:56
wiggythere is a plone.recipe.lxml recipe that builds lxml11:57
japwhich i do not want11:57
japhm, time to check that out11:57
wiggythat will try to build libxml2 and libxslt if needed as well11:57
japyep, i see11:57
japlet's try that11:58
wiggythere's a growing amount of useful plone.recipe.* stuff11:58

*** Newfie2007 has joined #zope3-dev14:20
grahamstrattonI believe zopeproject allows you to use Zope as a library instead of a framework14:20
grahamstrattonSo zopeproject will generate a sort of scaffolding for your zope app14:20
grahamstrattongrokproject builds on it to do the same for Grok apps14:21
grahamstrattonBut I haven't played with either...14:21

edgordoni asked this last night, but my question wasn't that clear. I have some objects that go to an add form when selected vie the Add menu, but I really would like for them to just populate w/ defaults and skip the form. How does zope determine whether to take you to the add form vs. direct adding via the @@contents page?16:42
*** MJ has quit IRC16:44
spythonedgordon: hmm, the add-button below the listing submits to @@contents.. but add via the addmenu submits to @@+16:49
spythonif I'm not mistaken16:50
*** grahamstratton has left #zope3-dev16:50
edgordonoh really? cause i have some objects from the addmenu that submit to @@contents. I have added defaults to all the attributes, so i am just trying to figure out how to skip the add form. In the project i am working on, they want the user to add a bunch of items, then view a single form w/ all the folder's contents on one form, so they can quickly populate all the info in one place. That is done (thanks formlib), but I am having16:51

spythonsearch for container_add_button, addObject, hasAdding.. might find some valuable info16:57
*** MJ has joined #zope3-dev16:57
spythonjust giving you pointers here :)16:57
spythonsearch in that .py-file that is..16:58

CrippsFXI have a template file located here: http://www.pastebin.ca/657262 ... when I try to view an object using this template I get a page that is completely blank except for the info, but I want a view under the ZMI ... what appears to be happening is that zope isn't parsing the metal tags. I was wondering if somebody could take a look and let me know what's wrong with my template.21:46
spythonagh! yellow on white21:50
spythonCrippsFX: hmm21:51
*** Newfie2007 has quit IRC21:52
spythonwhy aren't you putting the namespace stuff in<html>?21:53
spythonand add <head> <body> stuff21:53
* spython likes stuff21:54
CrippsFXspython: because I shouldn't have to for something that's only going to be a view.22:00
CrippsFXI have another page template that has all the xmlns stuff in a <div> and it works fine.22:00
spythonok! then I don't know :)22:01

spythonwow, i need a new mouse.. the pointer occasionaly decides to go insane for around 5 secs and the returning to normal22:08
CrippsFXspython: screw the mouse ... get a wacom tablet ;)22:08
CrippsFXmuch easier on the wrist, so I've heard.22:08
* spython remembers the old trusty mice with a ball22:09
CrippsFXhahaha.22:09
spythonyeah, i got a penlike mouse some years ago and it was very easy on the wrist22:10
spythonbut it just stopped working after a year22:10
CrippsFXhm. That sucks.22:11
spythonsometimes i wonder if manufacturers deliberatly puts self destroying mechanisms in their product, conveniently triggered the day after warranty expires22:11
CrippsFXspython: hahaha ... check this out ... in my template, I was using     xmlns:metal="http://xml.namespaces.zope.org/metal"  where it should have been xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"22:12
CrippsFXspython: with some manufacturers, I wouldn't be surprised ;)22:12
CrippsFXbut what you said just convinced me to buy a genuine wacom instead of a cheaper *imitation*22:12
spythonah, ok.. I always copy paste the namespace stuff.. never remember how to write them22:13
spythonthe pen mouse was nice, but you don't fully get the precision of a regular mouse.. but for surf/irc/mail it's great22:15
spythonhorrible with games obviously :)22:15
CrippsFXhahaha. Yeah ... I guess that only matters if you play games ;)22:17
*** dunny has joined #zope3-dev22:17
CrippsFXcheck this out ... now I have the namespace stuff correct, but I'm getting a traceback ... seems like the talinterpreter isn't liking something, but the error isn't very informative *to me* ... I need help decoding it ;)22:19
CrippsFXoh yeah ... error's located here: http://www.pastebin.ca/657310   :)22:19

RaFromBRCedgordon: i've found that usually means that the view object is failing during construction... usually in the __init__ method22:50
*** jodok has joined #zope3-dev22:51
edgordonok. so frustrating though22:51
edgordonno problems on the commandline either22:51
RaFromBRCedgordon: yup.  it used to be a  lot worse, where ANY error in a view just showed up as a 40422:51
RaFromBRCif you put a pdb in the __init__ of your view class you can probably figure out what's going on pretty easily, though22:52
