[Zope] Newbie: Ownership confusion

[Rebecca.R.Hepper@seagate.com]

I apologize for not mentioning the CMF.  Thank you very much for the
assistance - this fixed my problem!!  Where would I find documentation that
explains contentValues, Portal Folder objects etc?  After reading your
e-mail, Chris, I did some searching on the CMF Dogbowl site but haven't
found anything too useful yet.

Thanks again for the help!

Ah, okay, you didn't mention you were using the CMF ;-)

That makes things a lot more understandable...

That's because you're creating different types of object ;-)
When you go in as admin (through the management interface, I'm guessing?),
you're creating
'Folder' objects. When you go in through the folder_contents intefrace,
you're creating
'Portal Folder' objects.

Soooo....

What you actually want is:

1. Always create your folders through the folder_contents interace, even if
you're admin.

2. change your code above to:

<table tal:define="myhere root/myportal/topfolder/folderA">
 <tr valign="top" align="left"
     tal:repeat="folders python:myhere.contentValues(filter={'Type':
'Folder'})">
   <td><input type="radio" name="release" value="folders"
              tal:attributes="value folders/title"></td>
 </tr>

cheers,

Chris
