... <dtml-call "Catalog.manage_catalogReindex(REQUEST, RESPONSE, URL1)"> ... The thing is, when I click on this tab, it updates the entire Catalog.
"manage_catalogReindex" does what it name tells: it reindexes the catalog (a "well chosen name", I call this).
... My questions are these:
1) Is there a way to update only the individual ZClass object in the catalog
The method is "catalog_object" -- it, too, has a well chosen name ;-)
... 2) What is the best way to deal with the permissions for this?
A proxy role (read about them in the Zope Book, 2.6 edition).
... 3) Additionally, I notice that when an object gets cataloged initally, the path to the object (as viewed in the Catalog) is from the root of the site, such as /myfolder/myobject.
However, if I were to recatalog the site from the Control Panel, the path to the object now changes to: /mysite/myfolder/myobject
Please try to be precise when you describe problems: The "Control_Panel" does not allow you to recatalog anything. It is strange that "manage_catalogReindex" should change the path. In fact, it recatalogs the object with its original path. You must mean a different path (not the one returned via the "getPath" method). There are 2 base classes providing path awareness for ZCatalog: the old "ZCatalogAware" and the newer "ZCatalogPathAware". You should always use the new one (as the old one does not work with virtual hosting). -- Dieter
