ed, I find the easiest way to use the cut/copy/paste stuff in Zope is to use some session manager with it. For example: <dtml-call "ses.set('cb_data',manage_copyObjects(['index_html'])"> or <dtml-call "ses.set('cb_data',manage_cutObjects(['index_html'])"> would set the cb_data variable in the currecnt user-session, this assumes you're using the CoreSession stuff from ZC. Then to paste at a later date: <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects(cb_data)"> It's really that simple. If you do it this way then all the advantage of the Zope cut/copy/paste system is kept, The only thing I'm not 100% sure of (cos I can't remember), is the exact name of the methods, I'm pretty sure though. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: "ed colmar" <ecolmar@qwest.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 5:20 PM Subject: [Zope] extended zope functionality (copy, paste, import)
Hey again!
I'm moving on to try and fix some of the weirdnesses with my StarRave code... One main thing I'd like to do is to support zope's copy/paste and import/export features.
What are the tricks to doing this? Are there any existing products that I can meditate on that may clue me in?
Thanks!
