[Zope] How can I rename an object from inside DTML?

[Kevin Dangoor]

When you say "trying to rename itself", I assume you mean that the
manage_renameObject call below is actually done in a method of 'white_wine's
ZClass. manage_renameObject should actually be called on the ObjectManager
that contains white_wine. You could probably do:

<dtml-call "PARENTS[1].manage_renameObject(id,
_.string.replace(REQUEST['name_singular'],'', '_'))">
(Not sure about those last couple parameters.... my main point was just that
tacking a PARENTS[1] onto the beginning could fix it.)
