You may remember I have posted a couple of times about problems I have had with manage_delObjects to delete a news article object from a news page which contains several child news article objects. I thought I would try and avoid the problem and make a Python method to remove the item. This method takes the list of articles (i.e. objectValues) and does the deletion on the parameter passed in. The problem I have is, objectValues doesn't seem to exist at Python level, only at DTML level. So instead of: <dtml-call "my_delete_function(objectValues)"> which is not valid, I have to use: <dtml-let my_list=objectValues> <dtml-call "my_delete_function(my_list)"> </dtml-let> The problem with this is that even though the parameter is passed by reference, the changes are only being done to my_list and not passed back to objectValues. So I lose them once my_list is out of scope. Can anyone suggest an alternative or a workaround? I thought about returning the modified list from the function, but DTML provides no functionality to set objectValues equal to this result. Any help would be appreciated!
