CMFFormController & TALES

Just started trying to implement a simple form page with CMFFormController.
Manage to get it up and working; however, I cannot figure out how to
implement a simple CANCEL button. Specifically, I want the action to
redirect to the container of the page. I tried using the below TALES
expression
but receive an global error on an undefined here variable.

python:here.navigationParent(here, template.getId())

Is it possible to use the here variable inside the metadata properties? Or
must I use a transfer action to a script that will perform the expression?

What is the common methodology for implementing the CANCEL button?

Help is much appreciated.

Problem when installing archetypes, please help!!!

Hello, I have some experience in Plone already, now I wanted to create new 
content types using archetypes. I've downloaded everything necessary from 
sourceforge.net, then read the documentations regarding the installations of 
archetypes in plone.org. i think I've done everything right, but when 
creating the external method to register he archetypes, when i click add, it 
gives me the following error:
ImportError

Sorry, a site error occurred.

Traceback (innermost last):

Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 150, in publish_module

2, in ?
ImportError: cannot import name listTypes (Also, an error occurred while 
attempting to render the standard error message.)

Somebody, please help me, tell me how to solve the problem!!! As far as i 
can see in python scripts, listTypes exists right where the program tries to 
import it from. I don't understand what's the problem. I'd really be very 
thankful if anybody could help me, I need it very much. I'm running plone on 
Win2000.
Thank You!!

 Did you try

 return context.fim(context,context.REQUEST)

Re: CMFFormController & TALES

The TALES expressions are set up with variables that parallel those
available to the variables in actions.  "here" is unavailable, but here's
what you get:

            'object_url':   object_url,
            'folder_url':   folder.absolute_url(),
            'portal_url':   portal.absolute_url(),
            'object':       context,
            'folder':       folder,
            'portal':       portal,
            'nothing':      None,
            'request':      getattr( context, 'REQUEST', None ),
            'modules':      SecureModuleImporter,
            'member':       member,
            'state':        controller_state,

Try python:context.getParentNode().absolute_url()

Re: Problem when installing archetypes, please help!!!

You need to put the validation, transform, and generator modules in
~zope/lib/python and not in the Products folder.

Modifying TTWTypes

Hi,

I want to disable the ID field in the add/edit views of a TTWType 
object, so that its ID cannot be changed by the user. Presumably this is 
possible using skinning, but how?

Thanks,

Elliot

Plone, IIS and port 80

Hi all,

we are currently running a plone beta site on port 81. Plone is installed in 
Windows 2000 Server with an already working IIS (port 80). We need to "share" 
the server, the existing IIS on port 80 and Zope (could it be possible in port 80 
too?), but we don't know how to solve this problem, is there an easy reliable 
solution?

We have read How to front Zope with Microsoft IIS, 
<http://www.zope.org/Members/hiperlogica/ASP404> but we don't know how to 
make it work. In a default Win installation, let's say 
C:\Plone
       \Data
       \Python 
       \Zope
where do we have to put default.asp? which is the directory to be served from 
IIS?

Any suggestion, explanation, would be really appreciated. 

Thanks a lot,

Re: Re: Problem when installing archetypes, please help!!!

I have validation and generator in the Archetypes directory,
just the way it was packaged. It seems to work fine.

Something must be wrong with this sentence.

It says:

  "Anonymous" should not the the "join" action but non "Anonymous"
  users should see it.

  That seems to be nonsense, as non-"Anonymous" users have already
  joined. No need to do it again.

That said, you can configure the "Join" action of "portal_registration"
and obtain what you want by changing its "Condition".

 > 2. Memebers can allow join for new members and a log is kept as to which 
 > memebers introduced these new memebers

You will need to customize the "RegistrationTool" ("portal_registration")
considerable to achieve this.

In my view, it is much better not to think in terms of joining for
this use case. Instead, a member directly registers new members.
You extend the member data to keep the user that did the registration.
