Hi, below an issue I don't have any idea where the problem lies. Are there some experts around that could give me some advice? Thanks! The code is for the redesign of the swiss community site http://www.zope.ch hopefully working in two weeks. So please, help! Are there any known issues copy&pasting a freshly added object A to another folderish object I in the A's manage_afterAdd hook? Doing Copy&Paste by hand (by GUI) after the object A was added works. Have a look at the simplified code snippet (Python Product): def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container): """ simplified code called after instanation of object A (self) in folder P (container) """ index_obj = getattr(container.aq_base, 'index_html', None) if (index_obj is not None) and (index_obj.meta_type == self.meta_type): # P has an object I (index_obj) of the same type as A is index_obj.addToCollection(container._getOb(self.getId())) def addToCollection(self, obj): """ simplified code in the same class called on index_html object """ container = obj.getParentNode() id = obj.getId() # this copies object A (obj, just instanated before manage_afterAdd!!!) # to object I (self, same as index_obj above) self.manage_pasteObjects(context.manage_copyObjects(id)) # raises ERROR below Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: getPhysicalRoot Traceback (innermost last): File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 150, in publish_module File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 114, in publish File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 159, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: gregweb) File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 98, in publish File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 88, in mapply (Object: createObject) File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 39, in call_object (Object: createObject) File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py, line 90, in __call__ (Object: createObject) File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 252, in __call__ (Object: createObject) File D:\prog\ZOPE_T~1\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 283, in _bindAndExec (Object: createObject) File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFCore\FSPythonScript.py, line 124, in _exec (Object: createObject) (Info: ({'script': <FSPythonScript instance at 018E4DD0>, 'context': <PloneFolder instance at 0227A820>, 'container': <CMFSite instance at 0227D278>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (None, 'Manual Collection'), {}, (None, None))) File Script (Python), line 12, in createObject File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFCore\PortalFolder.py, line 362, in invokeFactory (Object: gregweb) File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFCore\TypesTool.py, line 824, in constructContent (Object: portal_types) File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFCore\TypesTool.py, line 513, in constructInstance (Object: Manual Collection) File E:\user\greg\data\zope_test\Products\CMFManualCollection\ManualCollection.py, line 84, in addManualCollection ##### this is the factory !!!
