Hi all ! My zope config : Zope 2.6.4 (binary release, python2.1, win32-x86) I want to read the content of a folder (localfs) that contains pictures (JPG) to create thumbnails for these pictures. Nb : < remote > is the name of my zope local file system. for item in context.remote.fileValues(): print item.id return printed gives as result : Chateau.jpg Paradise.jpg Which is right. for item in context.remote.fileValues(): context.makethumbnail(item) gives the error message that you find below. (attribute error read) The < makethumbnail > external method has been tested and works FINE ! If I give as parameter for this method the result of <input type="file" name= ...... >, a thumnail is well created. So the problem is : what's the right way to give the picture itself listed in the folder contents, as parameter in my python code ???? Any help greatly appreciated ! Regards, Philippe.
