[Zope] Getting an object from id

[Etienne Labuschagne]

I have used the following method successfully:

parameter passed: objectId
folder where I must retrieve the object with the name id from: fooFolder

I use the following code:

o = self.fooFolder.restrictedTraverse(objectId)

This works in a Python Method (the one where you type the Python code in the
browser) and is probably a valid way to do it.

If there are still better ways, let me know!

Hi there

It is the object that is reffered to as a Python Method in the add box of
the management screen.  In simple terms, the one where you write the Python
code in the browser window and not as an external .py file in the extensions
dir.

Do you mean Python Method or Python Script?
