I suspect first of all since it's a new object, you need to index the object first before you reindex it. So this would be: newob.index_object() Then on subsequent calls, you'll want to do: newob.reindex_object() The CatalogAware API is broken, IMHO. It should always just be "index_object" and "reindex_object" should not exist. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Muldrow" <muldrow@mac.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 10:55 AM Subject: [Zope] Reindex_object problem

I'm having trouble getting reindex_object to work inside an external method. I suspect my syntax is flawed. What I'm doing is instantiating a Catalog-aware ZClass and then attaching properties to it. I know I need to reindex after I've added properties, but it doesn't like it in the external method. (I have been able to reindex with a separate piece of DTML, but that's not ideal!) Thanks in advance--Chris
