Re: [Zope] small problem in external methods

I believe 'return self[foldername].title' will also work. Folder objects support __getitem__.

Unfortunately that isn't working.

BTW, this is a good question for zope-dev.

-Michel the overly subtle

Glad you raised that - to me external methods fit in the charter of both lists. ie discussion of the operation of Zope blends with discussion about the internal mechanisms of Zope. But I agree - perhaps we should try and keep anything with sample code on zope-dev, especially with the rise in non-coding traffic on the main list. Cheers, Martin
