I am trying to make a python based class be Catalog Aware and be reindexed when it is edited. I basically started with the Boring Product How-To, and have turned it into a Company Product. The class inherits from CatalogAware (someone somewhere said that CatalogAware had to be the first base class). I create my Company instance in another class by calling the constructor with no values, then immediately calling the manage_edit method to update the data. Based on that, I am trying to index the object in the constructor, and reindex the object in the manage_edit. With the code below, the object gets indexed in the catalog, but all the fields (indexes) are blank! The reindex_object call is not working for some reason. (At least it is not updating the field indexes like I would expect.)
(I moved this to zope-dev because I don't think it is a content-managers question...) I'm having the same problem. I call self.reindex_object() at the end of my edit method, but the catalog does not get updated. If I call reindex_object by tacking it onto the end of the URL for my object, the catalog gets updated. Is there a trick to getting reindex_object to work from a python product? I'm using the default catalog name, by the way. I'm running Zope 2.1.6, and I note that there was an exchange earlier about a possible problem in 2.1.6 where from a ZClass someone found they could not call reindex_object directly but had to use a redirect. Sounds like a variation on the same problem...anyone have a clue? --RDM
