Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a function that checks to see if the current object is a 'Folder'.
I am using this tutorial as a reference:
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/pre-populated-folder
To create a new content object, the following command is used:
parent.invokeFactory(id=id, type_name='Folder')
Is there a function that can check what type this newly created object is? Obviously its 'Folder' in this example, but I'd like to be able to get the type_name of an object returned anywhere in my site to see if it is a 'Folder'.
This is really a CMF question and belongs on the zope-cmf mailing list; invokeFactory() is a method of CMFCore.PortalFolder. But to answer your question: someobject.portal_type -PW -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
