I know this has been asked numerous times before (once by me!), and I'm sorry to cover the same ground again, but I've spent all afternoon searching through the list archives to no avail. I have a zclass that is catalogaware (selected first and all that). When I add an instance, it gets cataloged and all is fine. I followed the how to (http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CatalogAware) and successfully made my instance get reindexed when the properties are changed, but I can't for the life of me figure out or find anywhere that can tell me how to make the instance get reindexed when it is edited. I'm assuming that it is similar to the process for reindexing when the properties are changed, but I'm just not sure of the details. If it's not too much trouble, could someone give me detailed instructions (or a link) on how to do this. I'd really appreciate it. cheers tim

In your method which is called by your edit form, insert a <dtml-call "this().reindex_object()"> after updating the properties. Eg, in my manage_edit method I have <dtml-call "propertysheets.Base.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.Facility.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "this().reindex_object()"> Regards, Ivan

Much obliged Ivan, I have managed to do it now. I ended up creating my_editForm and my_edit methods within the zclass and then using the source from a builtin edit form as my template. One thing doesn't work now though, and that's making the textarea wider/narrow/etc. Obviously, this is because I have static values put in for the dimensions of the text area, but I'm not sure how to alter this to make it work... any pointers? my_edit looks like this btw, <html><body> <dtml-call "manage_edit(data, REQUEST.title)"> <dtml-call reindex_object> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(absolute_url()+'/my_editForm')"> </body></html> Does this seem appropriate? cheers tim

I use this code for that purpose: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('dtpref_cols')"> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('dtpref_rows')"> <dtml-var "manage_edit(data,title,SUBMIT,dtpref_cols,dtpref_rows,REQUEST)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "manage_edit(data,title,SUBMIT,dtpref_cols,REQUEST=REQUEST)"> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('dtpref_rows')"> <dtml-var "manage_edit(data,title,SUBMIT,dtpref_rows=dtpref_rows,REQUEST=REQUEST)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "manage_edit(data,title,SUBMIT,REQUEST=REQUEST)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> <dtml-call "reindex_object()"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(manage_edycjaTresciForm.absolute_url())"> ololo@zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl, oleks@helper.pl /--------------------------------------\ | `long long long' is too long for GCC | \--------------------------------------/

Thanks very much for the help Aleksander, but when I drop your code into my method, it doesn't work (it doesn't break either). I simply copied and pasted your code, then edited the final redirect at the bottom. Here is the submission part of my edit form (if it makes any difference). <TD align=left> <INPUT NAME=SUBMIT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Change"> </TD> <TD align=left> <INPUT NAME=SUBMIT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Taller"> <INPUT NAME=SUBMIT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Shorter"> <INPUT NAME=SUBMIT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Wider"> <INPUT NAME=SUBMIT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Narrower"> </TD> I had a look on the ZQR, and found the section on manage_edit, but I still don't really understand how the dtpref_cols/rows works. Any insight? Cheers tim

It uses cookies (named 'dtpref_rows' and 'dtpref_cols') storing size of your textarea. Have you turned off cookies by accident ? If it receives (from edit form) a variable named 'SUBMIT' with value equal to one of the above ('Taller', etc.), then it sends new cookie values to the browser.
