[Zope-dev] Object to string

[Shaw, Howard]

Nope. Nothing wrong here. Just wrap the two instances of unique_id in
quotes. Sorry for not catching that in Pavlos' code.

like so:
> <!--# call "manage_addFolder('unique_id','unique_id',0,0,REQUEST)"-->
the fields are id and title, and both take a string. The traceback was
telling you that it could not find the object unique_id which it was
trying to evaluate to generate a string to pass.
