plone.api.content#

Module that provides functionality for content manipulation.

plone.api.content.copy(source=None, target=None, id=None, safe_id=False)[source]#

Copy the object to the target container.

Parameters

  • source (Content object) -- [required] Object that we want to copy.

  • target (Folderish content object) -- Target container to which the source object will be moved. If no target is specified, the source object's container will be used as a target.

  • id (string) -- Id of the copied object on the target location. If no id is provided, the copied object will have the same id as the source object - however, if the new object's id conflicts with another object in the target container, a suffix will be added to the new object's id.

  • safe_id (boolean) -- When False, the given id will be enforced. If the id is conflicting with another object in the target container, raise a InvalidParameterError. When True, choose a new, non-conflicting id.

Returns

Content object that was created in the target location

Raises

KeyError, ValueError

Example

Copy content

plone.api.content.create(container=None, type=None, id=None, title=None, safe_id=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Create a new content item.

Parameters

  • container (Folderish content object) -- [required] Container object in which to create the new object.

  • type (string) -- [required] Type of the object.

  • id (string) -- Id of the object. If the id conflicts with another object in the container, a suffix will be added to the new object's id. If no id is provided, automatically generate one from the title. If there is no id or title provided, raise a ValueError.

  • title (string) -- Title of the object. If no title is provided, use id as the title.

  • safe_id (boolean) -- When False, the given id will be enforced. If the id is conflicting with another object in the target container, raise an InvalidParameterError. When True, choose a new, non-conflicting id.

Returns

Content object
