This code worked fine in 2.1.6 but is broken (http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1371/view) for me when moving zclass instances in 2.2.0 However...YMMV, so here it is for what it's worth. Note that thingstocopyidlist is just a list containing the object ids you want cloned from sourcefolder into targetfolder and that the clipboardstuff trick came out of a latenight reading of some python source deep in the bowels of zope.... <dtml-with "_.getitem(sourcefolder)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('clipboardstuff',manage_copyObjects(ids=thingstocopyidlist))"> </dtml-with> <dtml-with "_.getitem(targetfolder)"> <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data=clipboardstuff)"> </dtml-with>

The Zope quick reference lists the following methods for the stock folder object:

manage_copyObjects(self, ids, [REQUEST, RESPONSE]) manage_cutObjects(self, ids, [REQUEST]) manage_delObjects(self, [ids, REQUEST]) manage_pasteObjects(self, [cb_copy_data, REQUEST])

For the life of me I can't get copy|cut and paste to work even for the simplest of examples. I've tried snippets like the following (embedded within a DTML method in a folder) but to no avail:

<dtml-call "manage_copyObjects(['subobjectid']"> <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects()">

<dtml-call "manage_copyObjects([_['subobjectid']])"> <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects()">

Can someone shed some light on my misunderstanding?

Cheers, Darran.
