Hi everyone, I'm using the Photo product to diplay some pictures at various resolutions and to display them on a certain date. (Some may recall my questions about a "Picture of the day" recently.) I want to set a 'display_date' property for each Photo instance and I'd like to do it using a PythonScript. I've created a form and PythonScript, but I get this error: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: argument 1: expected read-only character buffer, instance found and this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: POTD_add) File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: POTD_add) File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: POTD_add) File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 353, in _bindAndExec (Object: POTD_add) File /var/lib/zope/2.3.0/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 330, in _exec (Object: POTD_add) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at 87874d0>, 'context': <Folder instance at 89506c0>, 'container': <Folder instance at 89506c0>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, ('This is a test', DateTime('2001/01/30'), <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 869e170>), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 8, in POTD_add TypeError: (see above) Here's the relevant part of the form: <form action="POTD_add" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table> <tr> <th align="right">Caption</th> <td><input type="text" name="title" size="50" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right">Display Date</th> <td><input name="display_date:date" size="20" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right">Image</th> <td><input type="file" name="file" size="25" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><br><input type="submit" value=" Add POTD "></td> </tr> </table> </form> And here's my PythonScript 'POTD_add' to which I pass the parameter list 'title, display_date, and file': """ Create a "Picture of the Day" image.

Wouldn't it would be great if there was a PythonScript repository somewhere? It would help me a ton. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
