Re: [Zope] Problems running a Xron method

19 Feb 2001

      Sorry--should've been more specific. Here's the method:
<dtml-in expr="objectValues('DTML Document')">
<dtml-let newname="'o13'">
<dtml-let nameadd=id>

<dtml-let newname="nameadd+newname">
<dtml-let newtitle="'Chris'">
<dtml-let story=document_src>

<dtml-let credate="ZopeTime()">
<dtml-with "PARENTS[0]">
<dtml-call expr="addFLSNews(newname, story, credate)">
</dtml-with>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-in>

And here's the external method that it's calling:

def addFLSNews(self, newid, data, REQUEST=None):
      """ """
      # Get the actual destination object, using the this()
      # method, to be sure we get it in the right context..
      self=self.this()

      # Create the new instance
      newob=self.Control_Panel.Products.FLSNewsStory.FLSNewsStory(data)
      newob._setId(newid)

      self._setObject(newid, newob)

      newob.title=getTitle(data)

      varStoryName=getStoryName(data)
      varUser=getUser(data)
      varPicID=getPicID(data)
      varCategory=getCategory(data)
      varLocality=getLocality(data)
      varBasket=getBasket(data)
      varNwords=getNwords(data)
      varEditionInfo=getEditionInfo(data)
      varSummary=getSummary(data)

      self._setProperty('User', varUser, type='string')
      self._setProperty('StoryName', varStoryName, type='string')
      self._setProperty('PicID', varPicID, type='string')
      self._setProperty('Category', varCategory, type='string')
      self._setProperty('Locality', varLocality, type='string')
      self._setProperty('Basket', varBasket, type='string')
      self._setProperty('Nwords', varNwords, type='string')
      self._setProperty('EditionInfo', varEditionInfo, type='string')
      self._setProperty('Summary', varSummary, type='string')

It's hitting a problem at the self.setObject line. This method works when I
run it as a regular DTML Document, but it hits an "Attribute Error on
self.setObject when I run it as an Xron. I'm using the trigger tab, but I've
also tried letting it run as scheduled--neither works.

Give us something to go on. Show us your method. How doesn't it work? By
"trigger", do you mean using the "trigger" tab or actually firing the
scheduled event?
