[Zope-dev] DTML ZClass ID Bug

[Jason Spisak]

I had submitted this to Collector about a month ago, and have since
wrote an external method to get around creating them with id's.  

If you create a ZClass instance based on DTMLMethod or Document through
the web interface you end up with an object that has no id. (Or at least
no way to see it outside the management screens)

If you create the same object in python using:

from DateTime import DateTime
from OFS import DTMLMethod

def make_resume(rfile,id,title)
    ob=ob.__of__(self)
    if rfile:
        my_ob=self.Control_Panel.Products.MyClass()
        my_ob.id=id    
        my_ob.propertysheets.MyProperties.manage_changeProperties(
                myproperty=rfile.read())    
        my_ob.manage_edit("""<!--#var standard_html_header--><!--#var
myproperty--><!--#var
                standard_html_footer-->""",title)
        my_ob=my_ob.__of__(ob)
        ob._setObject(id, my_ob)


You get an id just fine.  It acts like any other web created ZClass
instance.

I hope DC fixes this soon.  It's really hampering not being able to
extend DTMLDocuemnts and DTML Methods as Zclasses.

All my best,

                          Hello,


                          Did anyone solve the problem describe by
Anthony below ?

                          I'd really like to know because it sounds
suspiciously like one of my own 
                          ZClass ailments: I can't access a ZClass
instance ID and I can't display 
                          its value on a property sheet.


                          Thanks.

                          Alexandre
