zope cheat sheet
some example snippets of zope/ plone, zpt and python code (beware word wrap - will sort out another template for these cheat sheets)
Get local roles on an object
local_roles = my_obj.get_local_roles()
Set local roles on an object
my_obj.manage_setLocalRoles('auser',('Owner', 'Manager', 'Publisher'))
(both the above were done from an external method)
Add a property to an object
my_obj.manage_addProperty('my_property_id', value="", type="string")
Get a list (array?) of objects
my_list = context.foo.bar.objectValues(['MyObjectType'])
Check user has manager role (zpt/ tal)
tal:condition="python:user.hasRole(here, ['Manager'])"
List attributes/ properties/ other stuff on an object
pp dir(myobj)
(note: this is something you do from a python prompt. pp id “pretty print”)
Get an object by ID from within a folder
myobj = getattr(myfolder,'idofobject')
Take a look at the source code of a function
(i.e from a pdb prompt
import inspect
inspect.getsource(myobj.mymethod)
