[Zope] Virtual Host Monster does not work with the absolute_url()

[Tom Cameron]

Chris,

We start with a base class called GenericObject...
class GenericObject(Implicit, Persistent, RoleManager, Item,
PropertyManager, MessageListener):

It contains, amongst others, the following method (the only one in the
entire product that uses a aq_ method)

    #---------------------------------------------------------------#

    def getParent(self):
        "Return the parent container that this object is within"
        return self.aq_parent

    #---------------------------------------------------------------#

>From there we create several other base classes and sub off them a few
times.

The product presently has about 40 classes with about 8 base classes from
which all others are built.

To narrow it down for you a bit. There is a container called a Model and it
contains Reports. and it is the reports that I am getting the URL of. To get
the list of reports I use the following method of the model...

    #---------------------------------------------------------------#

    def getReports(self, type=None):
        """
            Returns a sequence of the immediate child Report(s)
            in this container, sorted by title. If type is specified
            then the results are filtered.
        """

        #get the immediate children of the container
        children = self.objectValues()

        #filter the Report(s) only
        reports = [x for x in children if x.isInstanceOf("Report")]

        if type != None:
            reports = [x for x in reports if x.getReportType() == type]

        #sort the report by Report.getTitle()
        reports.sort(lambda x, y : x.getTitle() < y.getTitle())

        return reports

    #---------------------------------------------------------------#


This returns a list and then i do the .absolute_url() on each of these.

Could it be the way I get the reports?

Tom
