Hello,
I have an object which is included in a ZCatalog that watches, among other things, the attributes 'keywords' (for a keyword index) and 'fulltext' (for a text index).
In the obect definition, I have the following code:
def __init__(self, default_catalog='mycatalog'): self.default_catalog = str(default_catalog).strip() self.keywords = self.get_indexable('keyword') self.fulltext = self.get_indexable('fulltext')
def get_indexable(self, index_type): " Dynamically build indexable attributes " propdict = PropertyManager.propdict(self) if index_type == 'keyword': keylist = [] for propname in propdict.keys(): thisID, thisVal = propname, propdict[propname] thisType = PropertyManager.getPropertyType(self, thisID) if thisType == 'string': keylist.append(propdict[thisID]) elif thisType == 'boolean': keylist.append(thisID) return keylist elif index_type == 'fulltext': alltext = '' for propname in propdict.keys(): thisID, thisVal = propname, propdict[propname] thisType = PropertyManager.getPropertyType(self, thisID) if thisType == 'text': alltext = alltext + propdict[thisID] return alltext else: return None
I also reindex_object each time I change a property, as shown in the example product ZCatalogedObject.
However, I don't get what I expect. First, even though my class inhereits from CatalogAware, new objects aren't always added to the zcatalog.
CatalogAware doesnt' work very well, don't rely on it :-S
Second, when I look at the keywords actually indexed, I see this: keywords [{'id': 'title', 'mode': 'w', 'type': 'string'}]
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Your code could use refactoring ;-) The problem was that propdict returns the property metadata, not the value of the property. You want getProperty for that... def __init__(self, default_catalog='mycatalog'): self.default_catalog = str(default_catalog).strip() self.keywords = self.get_indexablekeyword() self.fulltext = self.get_indexablefulltext() def get_indexablekeyword(): " Dynamically build indexable attributes " propdict = PropertyManager.propdict(self) keylist = [] for name,entry in propdict.items(): thisType = entry['type'] if thisType == 'string': keylist.append(self.getProperty(name)) elif thisType == 'boolean': keylist.append(name) return keylist def get_indexablefulltext(): " Dynamically build indexable attributes " alltext = '' for name,entry in propdict.items(): if entry['type'] == 'text': alltext += self.getProperty[name] return alltext cheers, Chris
