Hi everyone,
I'm using the Photo product to diplay some pictures at various resolutions
and to display them on a certain date. (Some may recall my questions about a
"Picture of the day" recently.) I want to set a 'display_date' property for
each Photo instance and I'd like to do it using a PythonScript. I've created
a form and PythonScript, but I get this error:
Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: argument 1: expected read-only character buffer, instance found
and this traceback:

Here's the relevant part of the form:
form action="POTD_add" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
table
tr
th align="right"Caption/th
tdinput type="text" name="title" size="50" value=""/td
/tr
tr
th align="right"Display Date/th
tdinput name="display_date:date" size="20" value=""/td
/tr
tr
th align="right"Image/th
tdinput type="file" name="file" size="25" value=""/td
/tr
tr
tdnbsp;/td
tdbrinput type="submit" value=" Add POTD "/td
/tr
/table
/form
And here's my PythonScript 'POTD_add' to which I pass the parameter list
'title, display_date, and file':
"""
Create a "Picture of the Day" image.
"""
import string
# create a unique object id based on the display date
newID = string.split(display_date, '/')
id = ''
for i in newID:
id = id + str(i)
# create the image
context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addPhoto(id, title=title,
file=file)
# add a display date property
doc = getattr(context, id)
doc.manage_addProperty('display_date', display_date, 'date')
Any ideas?
Wouldn't it would be great if there was a PythonScript repository
somewhere? It would help me a ton.
