I have the following requirement.
I just want to get the news items present in root folder only... /root not those in /root/Member's folders...
using container.portal_catalog(meta_type='News Item',path=' ')
I tried to use path argument as /root... But it doesnt work....
Path indexes are unable to do that. They have the property: When an object with path "somepath/id" is a hit than any object with path "somepath/anotherpath" is also a hit. You are therefore unable to restrict the depth of the hits (to the root folder in your case). In your case, you may directly use "folder.ContentValues(['News'])" (or similar; I am not sure about spelling). An alternative would be to enhance PathIndex with a "depth" parameter which allows to restrict the depth of hits. Dieter
