Hi George, Hi Dieter, I saw your post and Dieters answer to a manage_pasteObjects problem (AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'getId'). George: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-June/116340.html Dieters: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-June/116370.html Did you find a solution for that? I run into the same problem (Dieter: the solution to my former problem we discussed now uncovered this one). The object in the clipboard is the self object ref of manage_afterAdd(self, item, container). I'd like to copy it from container and paste into another folderish object. What I found out (Zope 2.5.1 on Win2k): Adding an additional ob._getCopy(self) without assigning the return value to a variable lets disappear the exception. Funny, eh? <CODE module="CopySuport.py" line="151.." zope_version="2.5.1"> for ob in oblist: if not ob.cb_isCopyable(): raise CopyError, eNotSupported % ob.getId() try: ob._notifyOfCopyTo(self, op=0) except: raise CopyError, MessageDialog( title='Copy Error', message=sys.exc_info()[1], action ='manage_main') ob._getCopy(self) ####### adding this no exception will be rose below ####### ob=ob._getCopy(self) id=self._get_id(ob.getId()) ###### exception here normaly ###### ob._setId(id) self._setObject(id, ob) ob = self._getOb(id) ob.manage_afterClone(ob) </CODE> Greetings, Greg _____________________________________ Grégoire Weber mailto:gregoire.weber@switzerland.org
