Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
'name' is a string obj
I have a exsisting folder
name == folder.getId()
say I want to use manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into this folder with the
getId() == name
but I can't do name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because 'name' is a str
object
so how do I create a file inside a folder whose id is 'name'?

to call upon this folder? No idea what you mean.

Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
I don't have a problem with manage_addProduct(). I know how it works. Creating
objects in a folder is not a problem to me.
My problem is the folderish object which I'm trying to find with a string input.
If you've read my previous message,
the server output error with name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because
name is a str object and does not have manage_addFile.
I understand this.
But name is an id to an exsisting folder that I want to access and do operation
inside.
how would I modify name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into a working
statement?

Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
I found the solution... use _.getitem(name)
this took some book flipping through some basic methods of zope modules in 'The
Book of ZOPE' by Beehive. A pretty good book for beginners

Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
Will... I just found out that I'm suppose to migrate to ZPT. But, I start with DTML to begin with and I've be doing it for the past two years, so it's kind hard for me to move on to xml and ZPT right off the bat. But the tag:attribute structure still confuses me.

I started using zope right about when TAL/ZPT was fully rolled out (2.4.x or so)...to me the dtml structure is confusing as heck to look at...it's all relative... :-) Go for it, make the switch, eventually you'll be really glad you did. Not the least because almost nobody is going to help you with dtml any more...! TAL is not easy reading for me either but it sure beats the alternatives. I am easily disappointed by other web dev platforms that despite all kinds of other sophistication (ruby-rails, alfresco etc.) still keep using or creating yet one more HTML-munging template language.

[Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
This is a problem a got a lot and I never able to seem to solve it. I want save or create a object to a specific folder or other folderish object, I ask the user for the id of that folder or folderish object I store the id name in a variable 'name' the problem is I know the type of the folder or folderish object but 'name' is a str object and I can't use command like name.manage_addFile(). The server just tells me that name is a str which contains no function manage_addFile(). I always end up doing a dtml-in objectValues(['Folder']) dtml-if getId() == name do something /dtml-if /dtml-in this is very ineffecient when you have a lot of data. Is there a ways I could do something like getFolder( name ).doSomething(). Is there anything like that in dtml? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object
dear Andreas make my question short. I have a string object 'name' and it is a name of an exsiting folder is there a method that uses 'name'(a str object) as an argument to call upon this folder? - Original Message From: Andreas Jung [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Allen Huang [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Zope zope@zope.org Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2007 10:20:16 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 6.
