Hi, Yes, it is easily possible. Here is a python script (not tested) to do it. It takes two parameters, viz., target_folder_path=path_to_target and move_ids=[item_id1, item_id2 etc.]. items are expected to be in the current folder. if len(move_ids) > 0: try: target_folder = context.restrictedTraverse(target_folder_path) except: return "ERROR: Target folder doesn't exist" clip = o_parent.manage_cutObjects(ids=move_ids) target_folder.manage_pasteObjects(clip) If you are not authenticating users, you might want to give "Manager" proxy to this script. Sample values passed from your form might look like path_to_target: /mysite/myapp/myfolder/ ../myfolder/ ./ move_ids: [] ['document1', 'document2'] -- Vattekkat Satheesh Babu http://vsbabu.org/ David Sumner wrote:

Hello,

I am trying to develop an application that allows moving of items from one folder to another without using the ZMI. The application allows them to create folders for archival purposes. Items are created in the New folder. They view these items in the New folder and can move them to any folder that they may have created. I am populating a drop down box with a list of folders, they check the items they want to move, choose the folder and click the Move To button. That posts to a python script. I am able to cut the checked items but how do I call the past function on an folder when I have the id of the folder I want to paste the items in. I can reference the folder directly, but that does not allow them to choose the folder from the drop down list. Is it possible to programmatically access a folder to paste when given the id of that folder?

Thanks,

David
