Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
dear Andreas make my question short. I have a string object 'name' and it is a name of an exsiting folder is there a method that uses 'name'(a str object) as an argument to call upon this folder? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists@zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0@yahoo.com>; Zope <zope@zope.org> Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 10:20:16 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 6.

This is a problem a got a lot and I never able to seem to solve it. I want save or create a object to a specific folder or other folderish object, I ask the user for the id of that folder or folderish object I store the id name in a variable 'name'
the problem is I know the type of the folder or folderish object but 'name' is a str object and I can't use command like name.manage_addFile(). The server just tells me that name is a str which contains no function manage_addFile().
I always end up doing a <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-if "getId() == name"> do something.... </dtml-if> </dtml-in>
Please take the advice and learn Python. Such logic should be implemented in Python and *not* in DTML. DTML/ZPT are for presentation *only*, not for implementing business logic. -aj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

"to call upon this folder"? No idea what you mean. -aj
