[Zope] how to catalog an object, overiding its allowedRolesAndUsers Keyword index

28 Jul 2003

      Hi all,

I'm adding some items to the Catalog from an external script. The
problem is that when I do that, the allowedRolesAndUsers index of the
items is set to 'Manager' which prevents users to find them with the
search interface of CMF. Do you know how to set that index when I
catalog my items.

Here is the idea of the cataloguing script:

class Catalogabled:

    pass

def catalog(self):

    catalogTool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_catalog')

    urlTool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_url')

    db = open('somefile', 'r')

    for line in db.readlines():

      li = line.split('|')

      newObject = Catalogabled()

      newObject.id = someGeneratedId

      newObject.Title = li[4]

      newObject.Description = li[16]

      newObject.Type = 'someType'

      newObject.meta_type = 'someType'

      newObject.portal_type = 'someType'

      newObject.SearchableText = li[4]

      newObject.Creator = 'toto5'

      newObject.getIcon = 'document_icon.gif'

      newObject.review_state = 'published'

      catalogTool.catalog_object(newObject, '%s/catalogs_view?id=%s' %(
urlTool.getPortalPath(), newObject.id))

How can I override the ['Manager'] allowedRolesAndUsers index that is
set automatically ?

Thanks in advance,
