Subject: Re: [Zope] setting Zclass
instance id based on properties
Thanks Jonahan -
I'll give it a shot - any idea where in the source I would look?

I'm trying to create a
context-based id based on the properties.
There must be a way to
customize the python constructor such that instead of two steps there is a
third step that reassigns the value of the id based on properties *after*
they are assigned.
I'm a designer, not a programmer - can somebody
help me out here?
I'm looking for someone to fill in the third
blank:
(1) Add a new instance of the ZClass
request =
context.REQUEST
instance =
container.MyZClass.createInObjectManager(request['id'], request)
(2)
update a property sheet from the form
values
instance.propertysheets.MyZClassProperties.manage_editProperties(request)
(3)
set id to be equal several properties (such as
section-chapter-book)
There is a manage_rename
routine. I have never used it myself (other than indirectly by
clicking on the 'Rename' button on the ZMI display) so I don't know the
parameters required. I would guess it would be something
like:
<dtml-call
"manage_rename(old_id, new_id)">
or
<dtml-call
"old_id.manage_rename(new_id)">
or
<dtml-call
"old_id.manage_rename(id=new_id)
If these don't work, try looking
at the source or maybe someone else on the mailing list has some experience
with it.
