In your script you could access the catalog as follows:

afolder = context.restrictedTraverse('folderA/folderB/'+someLocalFolder) # pass 'someLocalFolder' as a parameter

catalog = afolder.Catalog # assuming you have named your ZCatalog 'Catalog'

Note: If this script is accessing a folder & catalog that is outside of the scope of the permissioned user (ie. not in the path that that user has permissions for), you will need to set a proxy role on the script

I have this line of code in my page template for handling the 404 errors:

<div align="center" tal:condition="here/hasSearchEngine">

I changed it thus:

<div align="center" tal:condition="here/hasSearchEngine(mycontext)">

I tested the following script with "mycontext" as a passed parameter:

return 0

catalog = ''
try:
    catalog = getattr(mycontext, mycontext.superValues('ZCatalog')[0].id)
except:
    pass

if catalog:
    return 1

This threw an error concerning "mycontext".
TIA,
