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’. 

Thanks,

Mike
