Got it. I had poured over the list archives without finding the magic incantation before posting my plea to the list. Finally, this afternoon while poking around Zope Labs I came across a recipe that got me to: self.resources[recordID].propertysheets.Basic.manage_changeProperties({'Title':t}) which works. Much thanks to 'peterbe' and his/her message of 2001-08-08. - lynch
Hi,
I'm having trouble setting a property of a ZClass propertysheet from an external method. I can successfully create an instance of the ZClass and from a DTML document set the properties, but I can't seem to get the syntax right for doing it from the external method. Could someone give me some advice?
Here are the relevant lines from my external method that successfully creates the ZClass instance:
recordID = "7893" t = "A new title"
self.resources.manage_addProduct['agnicCatalog'].resourceClass.createInObjectManager(recordID, self.REQUEST)
I have a folder called 'resources' that I want to hold all instances of the class 'resourceClass'. The above line works fine to create the instance.
But, when I try to change the Title property with:
self.resources[recordID].propertysheets['Basic'].manage_changeProperties(Title = t)
I get TypeError -- sequence index must be integer
I've tried a bunch of variations with recordID, but nothing seems to work.
Can someone set me straight? Thanks!
