[Zope] Moving files using python scripts

[Satheesh Babu]

Hi,

Yes, it is easily possible. Here is a python script (not tested) to do 
it. It takes two parameters, viz., target_folder_path=path_to_target and 
move_ids=[item_id1, item_id2 etc.]. items are expected to be in the 
current folder.

if len(move_ids) > 0:
     try:
         target_folder = context.restrictedTraverse(target_folder_path)
     except:
         return "ERROR: Target folder doesn't exist"
     clip = o_parent.manage_cutObjects(ids=move_ids)
     target_folder.manage_pasteObjects(clip)


If you are not authenticating users, you might want to give "Manager" 
proxy to this script.

Sample values passed from your form might look like
path_to_target:
      /mysite/myapp/myfolder/
      ../myfolder/
      ./
move_ids:
      []
      ['document1', 'document2']
