This is the third time this question has been asked. (The second time it was me).

It appears to be a common problem and noone has yet come up with an answer. Maybe someone from DC could explain what is wrong with the cut/paste code or point out what we are all doing wrong.

Once I find an answer I will write a HowTo so that others don't bash thier heads against this like I have for the last week.

Yours (slowly going mad about cut&paste)

Hm, I doubt whether copying and pasting from one method is the way to go. You'd better use manage_clone. See the ZQR (at http://zdp.zope.org) for an outline. It's not much, but I hope it helps ;-) Rik

Michel, I am very sure that it isn't a cookie problem. I was looking at this a few months back, and could find no reason for it not working. I did notice that the copy, cut and clone methods all failed with the same error when called via dtml and external methods, even though I could do the same copy through the management interface manually. It so happened that it wasn't critical to me, so I gave up on it. It would be nice to find out what's going wrong though, any other ideas?

I call this one and pass a list of ids (ids) and a username (uname) the objects are kept in Members/[username]/content I always get the error: No clipboard data found

Anybody any idea?

The mechanism is based on cookies, therefore when it goes to paste it cannot find a cookie.

Perhaps you can add a suggestion to the Interfaces Wiki about adding a DTML and python interface to cut and paste?

I can't say as I did want copy/paste, I tried them because clone wasn't working. I haven't tried for a while so I may give it another go in a later version of Zope. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mindlace" <mindlace@imeme.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: 04 April 2000 23:28 Subject: Re: [Zope] copy/paste problem with dtml

I use manage_clone without problems in a method that has the proxy role set to Manage.

I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want to copy paste when manage_clone does just that.
