[Zope] Zcatalog search
Hello, i've indexed some dtml-documents with some metadata, for example a CPU field. I can search for a CPU or any other metadata, but how i can have the list of all the objects with a CPU property?

[Zope] ZCatalog Search Q
Hi, I'm trying to search a catalog and return a list of hits, and here is a code fragment: dtml-in Catalog a href="dtml-var "Catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)"" dtml-var title /a dtml-var idbr /dtml-in This works ok, however, I understand that the catalog search does not actually return object references to the actual objects catalogued. I'd like to include some attributes from the actual objects (maybe by accessing the actual object via id, etc?) in the result list. Can someone let me know how to do that? I can of course include those attributes in the catalogue meta table so they would be returned with the search results, but I don't really want to do that unless there is no other way. Thanks for any info/help.

You can get the actual object with: Catalog.getobject(data_record_id_) inside your dtml-in loop. This is supposedly a 'bad' thing to do but there's nothing better right now... I can of course include those attributes in the catalogue meta table so they would be returned with the search results, but I don't really want to do that unless there is no other way. Well, it might be the best way. Why? ...because otherwise you have to load up the whole object to get the attributes you want. If there's only a few attributes like this, which are small anyway, and your objects are large, then your wastign a load of RAM you don't need to be.

Nope, 'cos it doesn't work with anything that plays with traversal, like SiteAccess. Something better should be coming along in Zope 2.2 but it probably won't be documented until Zope 3 :( Yes. Our situation is like this. We have a bunch of objects (ZClass) in various folders, and we would like to provide a dynamic search facility for the users (in addition to traversing folders and sub-folders, which is not a problem). The object has a description field, which is a few lines of text (there is a long description field, which varies from zero length to up to 10 times the size of the desc). We need to display the description field (but not the long desc) on the search results, so to implement this, we can either stick the desc in the catalog meta-table, or use getobject as you suggested to retrieve the object (and hence the required attributes). Initially, I'm a bit worried about sticking the desc in the meta-table 'cause it's relatively big compared to the other attributes. Maybe it's still cheaper than getting the object (which includes the much bigger long desc field) every time? Seen similar situation before? Any help is appreciated. Well, given that it's going to be easier and cleaner for you to put it in the metadata table I'd d othat. I can really see any problems with this. I'm sure someone else on the list will comment if they know better... cheers, Chris ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
