Just for the record, heres a script I wrote to convert from DTML Method to Document, using the same basic idea... if you find a way around it, let me know. http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/method_to_document ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <matt@virtualspectator.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 7:52 PM Subject: [Zope] converting objects
The following is an external method I wrote for converting an object(presumably a file object) into an Image. It works fine, but seems a scary way of doing it, i.e. deleteing the object that the method is currently working on. I was hoping there was a method that lets you reset the object ... eg : self._setObject(new_image_object) instead of making a new one and deleting the old one.
def convert_it(self,REQUEST): """convert to image""" new_id = self.id() new_title = self.title temp_data = self.data REQUEST.PARENTS[1].manage_delObjects(self.id()) REQUEST.PARENTS[1].manage_addImage(new_id,temp_data,new_title)
return "thanks"
regards Matt
