Hi, I`m trying to delete some objects(folders/files), but I`m having some problems with sequence-...
I`m trying to use manage_delObjects()... I made a list of sequence-item with a <dtml-in "Folder.objectValues()">, can I pass this list like an argument to manage_delObjects? Like <dtml-call "manage_delObjects(list)">
I think I a little confused with <sequence-..>, when I make a list like that (objectValues of a folder), do I have the object in <sequence-item>? If I make sequence-var-title, is it going to return the title? --> Because it`s giving error. Or I just have the id and I have to make _.getitem(sequence-item).title?
I tryed to compare the sequence-item variable and returned error too... : <dtml-if "sequence-item=='test'">

You have run into a classic problem that has burned many a thread. The name "sequence-item" is not a valid Python variable name, so it must be accessed indirectly when in an expression using the syntax _['sequence-item']. This is hopefully going to be fixed soon in a future release. So, to do your comparison you would need: <dtml-if expr="_['sequence-item'] == 'test'"> As for manage_delObjects, it takes a sequences of strings as its argument. These strings are the ids of the objects to delete. objectValues returns objects, not strings. However, objectIds returns the ids as a sequence of strings. So, you could delete all instances of a particular type of object in a folder like so: <dtml-call expr="manage_delObjects(objectIds('meta type'))"> If you want to make an arbitrary list, you would probably do better using a python script, as DTML is not well suited to logic, such as sequence manipulation. Here's an example: del_list = [] for ob in context.objectValues('meta type'): if ...insert your comparison here...: del_list.append(ob.id) if del_list: context.manage_delObjects(del_list) Calling this script in the context of the folder containing the objects, would find the objects to delete and obliterate them. hth, -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
