Hi Gitte,

Well I'm sorry to say this, but it seems a bit more complicated than what I need. Isn't it possible to make an array out of a select box (with only the selected items in the array) and just run through this array to delete the items ?
Thats no way complicated. The "list" is the word python people use instead of "array" :-) If you note for your checkbox name a name and :list, zope automatically converts all selected entrys into a list containing the selected entrys. If you dont write :list, it does it anyway if there is more then one selected. To be save, use "ids:list" so the list is called ids. (refering to the example below)
As mentioned, you dont have to delete item by item if they are stored in Zope as objects. you only need to pass it to the manage_delObjects method of the folder:
<dtml-call expr="yourfolder_with_items.manage_delObjects(ids)">
(schould work. Untested)
If you have your items in a sql database, you may want to ilterate like this:
<dtml-in ids> <dtml-call expr="dosomethingtodelete(itemtodelete=_['sequence-item'])"> </dtml-in>
well I made the list: NAME="ids:list" in the checkbox line When you hit the deletebutton a method is called. The code for deletion is here: <dtml-in ids> <dtml-call sqlDeleteClips> <-- That's the sqlmethod </dtml-in> What's funny is that I get an 400 error. And I have 3 hidden fiels in the same form - normally they would be passed as ActionList=1 etc. etc. but now they are passed as ActionList=['1', '1', '1', '1', '1', '1', '1', '1'] Yes I know I should learn some python but I'm working against time :-) Gitte

Hello,
I have a list of items where it should be possible to delete all the items you wish. Each item have a checkbox with the value equal to them itemid.
I have done this is PHP just by naming these checkboxes "deletearr[]" to make an array, then run through the array an delete each item. But how do I do the same thing in Zope ?
Or - a more specifik question - can I make an array the same way in Zope that I did in PHP ?
