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

Hello:

You can get the types from following function. Once you get the list of the types of the object type, you can use it as you want.

ptypes = context.portal_types.objectValues()

sample script to test is:

-------------------------------

ptypes = context.portal_types.objectValues()

for ptype in ptypes:
print ptype
return printed

------------------------------

Hi guys,

I’m trying to write a function that checks to see if the current object is a ‘Folder’.


 

I am using this tutorial as a reference: 

 

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/pre-populated-folder

 

To create a new content object, the following command is
used:

 

parent.invokeFactory(id=id, type_name='Folder')
 
 
Is there a function that can check what type this newly created object is? Obviously its ‘Folder’ in this example, but I’d like to be able to get the type_name of an object returned anywhere in my site to see if it is a ‘Folder’. 
 
 
Thanks,
 
Mike
