...

Thanks Jason and Kevin for the prompt replies. But in fact my _add constructor method had been changed to include the reindex module, just as in the example below:

...

<dtml-with "createInObjectManager stuff...." <dtml-call "propertysheets.YourPropSheet.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call reindex_object> </dtml-with>

And that's what puzzles me: it doesn't work. I tried doing this:

...

<dtml-call reindex_object()>

Hmm... The example I gave you *should* work... I use it all the time.

The other one you tried wouldn't work because of the way the shortcuts in DTML work.

<dtml-call reindex_object> = <dtml-call name="reindex_object">

By saying, <dtml-call reindex_object()>, you're actually looking to call something called "reindex_object()". <dtml-call "reindex_object()"> is more in line with what you're thinking, but you would probably need to pass some parameters in there...

You may try experimenting with things directly via URLs, just to figure out where the problem may lie.

You can go to http://yoursite/yourObjURL/propertysheets/YourPropSheet/manage_changePropert ies?propname=value Then, try http://yoursite/yourObjURL/reindex_object and see if the object shows up in your catalog.

Not sure what other advice to give at this point, because this generally works just great for me.

Is the ZCatalog named 'Catalog'? If not, are you trying to munge the 'default_catalog' property at all? CatalogAware instances expect to find their catalogs under the name, 'Catalog', unless you change the 'default_catalog' class variable to something else.
