I'm trying to check if the container from which the user selected a product from the add menu has an "acl_users" folder. When the user selects the option from the add menu, they get a form. When they submit the form, the method (a PythonMethod) does this:
folder=self.Destination() if hasattr(folder, 'acl_users'): ...do something... else: ...complain...
Even though I know the folder has an acl_users (and having this function return folder.objectIds() proves it), the above code will always complain. Is there a problem with using hasattr in this context?
Well, first of all, because of acquisition, if there's a acl_users at the top level this will always return true. Next, PythonMethods have trouble with hasattr AFAIK - so instead do: folder=self.Destination() if 'acl_users' in folder.objectIds(): ...do something... else: ...complain... -- Itamar S.T. itamar@maxnm.com "It don't get thingier than that!"
