I "solved" the problem for me inserting obj._getCopy(container) # obj is the original object to be copy&pasted somewhere in my own code before manage_pasteObjects gets called. I know, it's not a proper solution. Is this a bug? Greg At 13:04 25.09.2002 +0200, I wrote:

Hi George, Hi Dieter,

I saw your post and Dieters answer to a manage_pasteObjects problem (AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'getId').

Did you find a solution for that?

I run into the same problem (Dieter: the solution to my former problem we discussed now uncovered this one). The object in the clipboard is the self object ref of manage_afterAdd(self, item, container). I'd like to copy it from container and paste into another folderish object.

What I found out (Zope 2.5.1 on Win2k):

Adding an additional ob._getCopy(self) without assigning the return value to a variable lets disappear the exception.

Funny, eh?

<CODE module="CopySuport.py" line="151.." zope_version="2.5.1"> for ob in oblist: if not ob.cb_isCopyable(): raise CopyError, eNotSupported % ob.getId() try: ob._notifyOfCopyTo(self, op=0) except: raise CopyError, MessageDialog( title='Copy Error', message=sys.exc_info()[1], action ='manage_main')

ob._getCopy(self) ####### adding this no exception will be rose below ####### ob=ob._getCopy(self) id=self._get_id(ob.getId()) ###### exception here normaly ###### ob._setId(id) self._setObject(id, ob) ob = self._getOb(id) ob.manage_afterClone(ob) </CODE>
