[Zope] manage_pasteObjects in manage_afterAdd raises AttributeError for getPhysicalRoot

[Grégoire Weber]

Hi,

below an issue I don't have any idea where the problem lies. Are there some 
experts around that could give me some advice? Thanks! The code is for the 
redesign of the swiss community site http://www.zope.ch hopefully working 
in two weeks. So please, help!

Are there any known issues copy&pasting a freshly added object A to another 
folderish object I in the A's manage_afterAdd hook?

Doing Copy&Paste by hand (by GUI) after the object A was added works.

Have a look at the simplified code snippet (Python Product):

def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container):
   """ simplified code called after instanation of object A 
       (self) in folder P (container)
   """
   index_obj = getattr(container.aq_base, 'index_html', None)
   if (index_obj is not None) and (index_obj.meta_type == self.meta_type):
       # P has an object I (index_obj) of the same type as A is
       index_obj.addToCollection(container._getOb(self.getId()))

def addToCollection(self, obj):
   """ simplified code in the same class called on index_html object 
   """
   container = obj.getParentNode()
   id = obj.getId()

   # this copies object A (obj, just instanated before manage_afterAdd!!!) 
   # to object I (self, same as index_obj above)
   self.manage_pasteObjects(context.manage_copyObjects(id)) # raises ERROR below
