Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get some dtml code to copy a folder a user selects from a form, but I can't get it to work. Here are some snippits:

from form:

<input type="radio" name="ids:list" value="...

from form processor:

<!--#call "manage_copyObjects(ids)"--> <!--#call "manage_pasteObjects()"--> <!-- stuff to change the new folder's name...

I don't get any error on the copy, but the paste says the clipboard is empty.

That's because the mechanism works based on cookies. Since there is no browser involved in your code, and no cookie in the original 'REQUEST', pasteObjects say's there clipboard is 'empty'. You would have to dig a bit in the source to find a way around this. Might just involve a combination of DTML calls, buit it might involve some python hacks. Wait.. there is a million to one chance this might work, but I haven't tested it, I just dreamed it up: <dtml-if paste_objects> <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects()"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "manage_copyObjects(ids)"> <dtml-if QUERY_STRING> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(absolute_url() + '&paste_objects=')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(absolute_url() + '?paste_objects=')"> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> You might need to play with it. -Michel _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope (Related lists - please, no cross posts or HTML encoding!

What should I say, it works good enough for my application and I noticed no drawbacks (yet!).

Peng... Some hours after writing this Mail I've noticed some very big drawbacks. So simply forget it... I now have a python-only solution... def reviewObject(self, id): object = self._getOb(id) self.Review._setObject(id,object) self._delObject(id) It simply moves an object to an defined Folder. But you could easily add something like this. *** Warning, untested code *** def reviewObject(self, id, aq_path_to_target="Review"): object = self._getOb(id) try: target = eval('self.' + aq_path_to_target) target._setOb(id) self._delObject(id) except: catch some exception or not *** Warning, untested code *** Sascha -- .-> Sascha Matzke - sascha@bespin.de - http://www.bespin.de -. | Keine Macht fuer niemand... | | Ton Steine Scherben | `-- On this earth for 24 years, 1 days <----------------'
