Heres a treat. I'm trying to write an external method to rename objects. I have approx 10,000 to rename so a script would be nice. No problem I thought, imitate a forms manage_renameObject and CopySupport.py can do the work. Rename works fine from the web form, but not from a script. (ASPNTools.getsomeobjectsfromstring returns a bunch of objects, Ive tried replicating this with resolve_url and get different namespace error, could this be a clue?). Heres my script: def search(self, REQUEST=None): l = ASPNTools.getsomeobjectsfromstring(self, REQUEST['path'], REQUEST) for obj in l: ob = obj.aq_parent # get the folder ob.manage_renameObject(obj.id(), 'Foo') return 'renamed' Here's my problem: The object 100BASEFX does not support this operation .... File d:\p4\Zope-dev\lib\python\Products\ASPN/Extensions/foo_rename.py, line 6, in search (Object: 100BASEFX) File d:\p4\Zope-dev\lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py, line 288, in manage_renameObject (Object: Traversable) File d:\p4\Zope-dev\lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py, line 406, in _verifyObjectPaste (Object: Traversable) Copy Error: (see above) There surely must be simple way of doing this so I dont have to resort to writing a Perl script to imitate the browser, please!
