RE: [Zope-dev] Is there a function to get the object type?
Thank you to everyone who helped. I've found the answer. In my case, the key was to use 'isPrincipiaFolderish' So to run a check to see if something is a folder: if context.isPrincipiaFolderish: print "It's a folder!" else: print "Nope, it's not a folder."

RE: [Zope-dev] Is there a function to get the object type?
Thanks Aruna, That returns all portal_types. However I would like to see what the current type of an object is. For example, if I am currently here: /mysite/index.html I would like to know that the current object is a ‘Document’ And if I were here: /mysite/folder I would like to know that the current object is a ‘Folder’ Thanks, Mike From: Aruna Kathiria [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 3:58 PM To: Takahashi, Michael; zope-dev@zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope-dev] Is there a function to get the object type?
