'Publish' CMFObjects into a Folder

Category: CMF

# create a Folder in your CMF root, named website and a subfolder in that called links

# you do have to edit somethings.  first set the destination
# /CMFDefault/skins/content/link.py

destination = 'website/links'

context.edit(remote_url=remote_url,
             destination=destination)

# then edit /CMFDefault/Link.py
    def edit( self, remote_url, destination=None ):
        """
            Edit the Link
        """
        self.remote_url=remote_url
        self.destination=destination

# now in DefaultWorkflow.py (or your subclass) I create a method called copyIntoWebsite

    security.declarePrivate('copyIntoWebsite')
    def copyIntoWebsite(self, ob):
        from string import split
        if hasattr(ob, 'destination') and getattr(ob, 'destination') != None:
            for elem in split(getattr(ob, 'destination'), '/'):
                self = getattr(self, elem)
            self._setObject(ob.getId(), ob)

# and inf your doActionFor method at the bottom 

            self.setReviewStateOf(ob, 'published', action, comment)
            self.copyIntoWebsite(ob)
