Hi,

I'm trying to get the following script to work in zope:

for image in context.objectValues('Image'): if not image.hasProperty('original_id'): context.outputdir.makeThumbnail(image.getId())

Where outputdir is a parameter passed to script, and is called with

makeThumbnails?outputdir=thumbnail

where thumbnail is a folder in Zope.

The problem is: context.outputdir.makeThumbnail(image.getId())

I need the object that is refered to by outputdir.

For instance if I use: context.thumbnail.makeThumbnail(image.getId()) it works fine.

I've tried getattr, getitem, but had no luck.

Can anyone shed light on the correct way to do it?

Thanks Regards Mark Simpson
