dtml-call expr="manage_delObjects(ids=objectIds())"
Place this in a DTML method, and it will remove all the sub-objects in the
folder you call it on.
Example:
Create a folder "Test". In that folder, create a DTML method called
remove_all, and put the DTML from above in it. Then create another Folder
inside Test called "Lossy". Create some random stuff you don't mind losing
into this new folder.
Open your browser, and goto http://yourserverhere/Test/Lossy/remove_all
Go back to the manage interface, and notice that all that stuff you didn't
mind losing is gone.

Subject: [Zope] modifying objectValues from an external method?
You may remember I have posted a couple of times about problems I have had
with manage_delObjects to delete a news article object from a news page
which contains several child news article objects.
I thought I would try and avoid the problem and make a Python method to
remove the item. This method takes the list of articles (i.e.
objectValues)
and does the deletion on the parameter passed in.
The problem I have is, objectValues doesn't seem to exist at Python level,
only at DTML level. So instead of:
dtml-call "my_delete_function(objectValues)"
which is not valid, I have to use:
dtml-let my_list=objectValues
dtml-call "my_delete_function(my_list)"
/dtml-let
The problem with this is that even though the parameter is passed by
reference, the changes are only being done to my_list and not passed back
to
objectValues. So I lose them once my_list is out of scope.
Can anyone suggest an alternative or a workaround? I thought about
returning
the modified list from the function, but DTML provides no functionality to
set objectValues equal to this result.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Alex
