hello all i have a product that subclass CatalogPathAwareness and SimpleItem all works ok. i,e an object instance will be added and deleted from the catalog

however, if i override manage_beforeDelete, the catalog is not cleared when i delete the object instance

is that natural? Yes, as cataloging uses the hooks provided by "manage_afterAdd" and "manage_beforeDelete".

do i have to supply my own uncatalog_object ? No.

But you probably should call the overridden "manage_beforeDelete".

with this snippet, it still doesnt work. i guess i don't get what uid for uncatalog_object is ...

here's the snippet

def manage_beforeDelete(self, item, container): """method for delete /cut/paste/rename""" img_dir = getattr(self.aq_parent, 'images') img_dir.manage_delObjects([item.getId()+'_image']) self.uncatalog_object(item.absolute_url(1)) Try: def manage_beforeDelete(self, item, container): """method for delete /cut/paste/rename""" <YourClass>.inheritedAttribute('manage_beforeDelete')(self,item,container) img_dir = getattr(self.aq_parent, 'images') img_dir.manage_delObjects([item.getId()+'_image'])

You must (of course) replace "<YourClass>" with the name of your class. Dieter
