Hi there, I've been trying to get the external script below to work with little success (I found it on ZopeLabs): def custom_changeOwnership(self, username, obj): acl_users = getattr(self, 'acl_users') #UserFolder source user = acl_users.getUser(username).__of__(acl_users) obj.changeOwnership(user) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've got a script that grabs a username value "name" from a form and creates an instance in an adjacent directory. Using your script, I'm trying to get the owner changed to the same value... with no luck. I keep getting messages like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: changeOwnership Traceback (innermost last): File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /filepath/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 226, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: LockableItem) File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 354, in _bindAndExec (Object: checkUsers) File /filepath/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 363, in _exec (Object: checkUsers) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at edb860>, 'context': <Folder instance at c523c0>, 'container': <Folder instance at c523c0>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 26, in checkUsers (Object: guarded_getitem) File /filepath/lib/python/Products/ExternalMethod/ExternalMethod.py, line 281, in __call__ (Object: customChangeOwnership) (Info: (('dfd', 'dfd'), {}, None)) File /filepath/Extensions/custom_zmgmt.py, line 5, in custom_changeOwnership (Object: LockableItem) AttributeError: (see above) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the script: context.REQUEST.set('id', request.form['name']) my_context= context.members.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'] my_context.Member_add(my_context,context.REQUEST, NoRedir=1) context.customChangeOwnership(request.form['name'], context.members.REQUEST['name']) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think maybe part of the problem is that I don't know what "context" means exactly and how to use it. I'm guessing this error is caused because an object can't be found? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob
