[Zope] Reindex_object problem

30 Mar 2001


      I'm having trouble getting reindex_object to work inside an external method.
I suspect my syntax is flawed. What I'm doing is instantiating a
Catalog-aware ZClass and then attaching properties to it. I know I need to
reindex after I've added properties, but it doesn't like it in the external
method. (I have been able to reindex with a separate piece of DTML, but
that's not ideal!) Thanks in advance--Chris
