Xron question--why won't method work
Here's a clarified version of a question i asked earlier that is still stumping me. Why will this method work as a regular DTML Method but not as a Xron method: <dtml-in expr="objectValues('DTML Document')"> <dtml-let newname="'o13'"> <dtml-let nameadd=id> <dtml-let newname="nameadd+newname"> <dtml-let newtitle="'Chris'"> <dtml-let story=document_src> <dtml-let credate="ZopeTime()"> <dtml-with "PARENTS[0]"> <dtml-call expr="addFLSNews(newname, story, credate)"> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> And here's the external method that it's calling: def addFLSNews(self, newid, data, REQUEST=None): """ """ # Get the actual destination object, using the this() # method, to be sure we get it in the right context.. self=self.this() # Create the new instance newob=self.Control_Panel.Products.FLSNewsStory.FLSNewsStory(data) newob._setId(newid) self._setObject(newid, newob) newob.title=getTitle(data) varStoryName=getStoryName(data) varUser=getUser(data) varPicID=getPicID(data) varCategory=getCategory(data) varLocality=getLocality(data) varBasket=getBasket(data) varNwords=getNwords(data) varEditionInfo=getEditionInfo(data) varSummary=getSummary(data) self._setProperty('User', varUser, type='string') self._setProperty('StoryName', varStoryName, type='string') self._setProperty('PicID', varPicID, type='string') self._setProperty('Category', varCategory, type='string') self._setProperty('Locality', varLocality, type='string') self._setProperty('Basket', varBasket, type='string') self._setProperty('Nwords', varNwords, type='string') self._setProperty('EditionInfo', varEditionInfo, type='string') self._setProperty('Summary', varSummary, type='string') It's hitting a problem at the self.setObject line. This method works when I run it as a regular DTML Document, but it hits an "Attribute Error on self.setObject when I run it as an Xron. I'm using the trigger tab, but I've also tried letting it run as scheduled--neither works.
sounds like a permission problem, does the user that xron executes as have permission to add a news item? xron uses zclient to request the method. cheers kapil

Yep, I've set a manager proxy on Xron so it could create a news item. Still no luck. on 2/22/01 5:18 AM, ender at kthangavelu@earthlink.net wrote:
