Zopers and PyCoders- I was having a problem with ZCatalog-- namely, editing the properties of a CatalogAware item (in a custom form) after creation resulted in no change to the indexed value in the Catalog. I know about reindex_object and was using that-- so it wasn't just that I was leaving it out! Hmmm. I read the Zope@zope.org list archives on zope.nipltd.com (what a great resource, thanks!!!) and found some mentions that this was broken in 2.1.6, which is what I am using. ANYWAY, I found that <dtml-call "_.this.reindex_object()"> solved the problem immediately (well, for me, anyway). Just thought I would pass this on so it would be archived for others with this problem (or at least something to try in a moment of desperation!). Why does this work? I have some guesses about some of the PyCode in CatalogAwarenesss.py but I'm still too much of a Python newbie to make any comments..... Jeff Sasmor jeff@janix.com
