[Zope] uncatalog_object question (Solved)

[Jonathan Hobbs]

Thanks Roche'

The solution was two-fold:

(1) your suggestion for use of getpath
(2) apparently uncatalog_object can't indirectly access a variable stored
within REQUEST
eg.
   uncatalog_object(uid) does not work, but
   uncatalog_object(REQUEST['uid']) does work

Thanks again!

Jonathan
