[Zope] manage_changeProperties self help

[David Kyte]

I think so,

I am using a url

http://localhost:8080/notes/Notes/NewNote

The counter is a property of the Notes folder
and the NewNote python script is in the
notes directory.

Would I be right in thinking that I use

n=context.counter

Cos if I do it works,

if I kick out the context ie

n=counter 

zope bletches


Thanks

David Kyte

And you are sure, that "context" is the object with
"counter" as property?

If this is not the case, then you can get "counter" by
acquisition, but "manage_changeProperty" may come from
another object without a "counter" property.

I can assure you: "manage_changeProperties" usually works as
it should...
