WARNING! If you happen to add any item with id 'counter' anywhere between the toplevel folder and where you are this will break. It would be safer to refer explicitly to the toplevel counter object. Try something like this. (Again, I apologise for misreading the intent of Pavlos' code.)

<!--# call "manage_addFolder(_.str(PARENTS[-1].counter),_.str(PARENTS[-1].counter ),0,0,REQUEST)"--> <!--# call "PARENTS[-1].manage_changeProperties(counter=counter+1)"-->

I got it!

Quick follow-up

The id has to be changed with either 1)another method besides manage_changeProperties, or <my choice> 2)given the value of the counter from the start </my choice>

I ended up using

<!--# call "manage_addFolder(_.str(counter),_.str(counter),0,0,REQUEST)"--> <!--# call "PARENTS[-1].manage_changeProperties(counter=counter+1)"-->

Thanks for all the help. I'll buy you guys all a beer if the boss gives me a raise in my food stamps $-)

All the best,

Nope. Nothing wrong here. Just wrap the two instances of unique_id

in

quotes. Sorry for not catching that in Pavlos' code.

like so:

...

<!--# call "manage_addFolder('unique_id','unique_id',0,0,REQUEST)"--> the fields are id and title, and both take a string. The traceback was telling you that it could not find the object unique_id which it was trying to evaluate to generate a string to pass.
