I wrote a script the returns a list object of all title_or_id values of objects in a folder. The problem is when there are no objects in the folder. The script should return a list contianing the string 'none'.. but doesn't. In fact, the script seems to either hang or have no return value...
Any pointers?
the method is designed to return a list, so if no objects are in - the list is empty. An empty list is not None! return [zpt.title_or_id() for zpt in context.objectValues('Page Template')] or 'none' would do the job. But I dont think its very usefull to return different datatype (list vs. string) on different conditions. What do you want to do with the result after that? Regards Tino
# returns a python list contained the title of the page templates in this # folder list = context.objectValues('Page Template') if list == None: return ['none'] newlist = [] for zpt in list: newlist.append(zpt.title_or_id()) return newlist
