I have a question that has *got* to have a simple answer, but I can´t seem to figure it out. I am trying to return a list of ids from an External Method, after they have been sorted and selected according to some simple search criteria.
The code looks something like this (stripped down to the basics):
idList=[] for OB in self.objectValues( idList.append(getattr(OB, 'id') return idList
And I get back a list of empty items (or empty strings with repr(getattr(OB, 'id')) - [,,,,,,] or ['','','','',''], respectively.
I can get any other attribute (title, etc.), but not the id.
The id attribute on a DTML document or method is a method. When you convert it to a string, you get something like: <Python Method object at 842ca20> which looks like a non-standard HTML element and is not shown by a browser. I bet that if you viewed the document source, you'd see this. You could do something like: idList=[] for OB in self.objectValues('HTML Document'): id=getattr(OB, 'id') if type(id) is not type(''): id=id() idList.append(id) return idList Then again, you could just call: objectIds('DTML Document') Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (888) 344-4332 Python Powered!
