[Zope-dev] Object to string

[Shaw, Howard]

Ok, maybe I was misunderstanding what Pavlos' code was intended to do
(probably because I didn't read it, just glanced at it)... try this... 

> <!--# call "manage_changeProperties(counter=counter+1)"-->
> <!--# call
> "manage_addFolder('unique'+_.str(counter),'',0,0,REQUEST)"-->
> 
(The 'PARENTS[0]' should be unnecessary. What I had suggested was
PARENTS[-1] as an alternative method of globalizing the unique ids. That
is, with PARENTS[-1] the same code could be used in five different
directories, and each id would be unique in the flat namespace inclusive
of all five. This would look like:

> <!--# call "PARENTS[-1].manage_changeProperties(counter=counter+1)"-->
> <!--# call
> "manage_addFolder('unique'+_.str(PARENTS[-1].counter),'',0,0,REQUEST)"
> -->
