Sounds like Zope 2.1.6 to me....

If you try it on Zope 2.2.0 it works fine, for me anyway :S

It's cos the 2.2.0 implementation of absolute_url requiers a REQUEST,
which it doesn't get in setItem(). This is fixed in 2.2.1 apparently...

haven't noticed this at all... what version of Zope are you using?

Oh, I need help alright, for trying to move Squishdot to Zope 2.2 in the
first place :(
My current fun is with <dtml-in attachment> which works fine in the edit
form on the management interface but throws a KeyError on 'file_name'
when I try and use it in the posting_html DTML method...

Any ideas/solutions greatly recieved :S

cheers,
