[Zope] manage_pasteObjects question

[Palermo, Tom]

Hi David,
 
In my last post, I wrote that I tried calling manage_pasteObjects a variety
of ways:
context.manage_pasteObjects(context.REQUEST)
context.manage_pasteObjects(context.cb_dataItems()) 
 
as well as the original:
context.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data=context.cb_dataItems(),REQUEST=req[
'__cp'])
 
All 3 of these attemps results in the eInvalid exception gettting raised by
manage_pasteObjects( ). req['__cp'] is a reference to the cookie that gets
set when you place something on the clipboard. I was trying to grab a
specific piece of the REQUEST instead of the whole thing. Does
context.manage_pasteObjects(context.REQUEST) need to be written as:
context.manage_pasteObjects(REQUEST=context.REQUEST)?
 
It's kind of a moot point now anyway. I'm using some SESSION variables now
to store the ids of te objects I want to cut and the path of their container
so I can do the cut and paste from a single script. Not sure if this is good
or not but it's working for me now. It's one of those times when I just need
something to work.

I'm trying to do the cut in one script and the paste in another script. It's

my understanding that REQUEST is an optional parameter to

manage_cutObjects(). Passing REQUEST will set a cookie, __cp. __cp is the

clipboard data. Later when I try to do manage_pasteObjects() from another

script, I always get a "cookie data is truncated" message regardless of how

I try to pass in the clipboard data. I should be able to just do:

context.manage_pasteObjects(context.cb_dataItems()) 



That doesn't work. I still get the "cookie data is truncated" message. I get

the same message if I do:

context.manage_pasteObjects(context.REQUEST) 



I know that there are, in fact, objects on the clipboard because I can just

do:

print context.cb_dataItems()

return printed



I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It seems like you can have cut and paste

happen in separate scripts. Is that not true?



Thanks,

Tom

I am trying to do a manage_cutObjects in one script and then a 

manage_pasteObjects.

    



Usually, this looks like:



	 obj_info = XXX.manage_cutObjects(...)

	 YYY.manage_pasteObjects(obj_info)



  

When I execute this line from my pasteObjects python

script:

context.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data=context.cb_dataItems(),REQUEST

=req[

'__cp'])

    



Do not know, why in hell you pass in a crippled request...



  You should be aware that "req['__cp']" is not a request object...

Tom,

You didnt respond to Dieter's remarks .... so its unclear where to go with
this.

You coded:

 
context.manage_pasteObjects(cb_copy_data=context.cb_dataItems(),REQUEST=req[
'__cp'])

What is the last parameter doing?  REQUEST=req['__cp'] ?  The
manage_pastObjects expects a REQUEST object, e.g. REQUEST=context.REQUEST.

Did you try this?   

David
