[Zope-CMF] Working with CMF Event object properties

[Raphael Ritz]

Hi Phil,

first you should realize that the catalog itself does not return the
objects found (or object handlers) but rather a list of a specific
kind of objects intrinsic to the catalog (sometimes refered to as
"brains"). Think of these as effective references to the objects.
The catalog tool has a few methods to work on 'brains'
like 'getURL()' (and that's why this is working) but if you want
to access particular attributes you can do either of the following:

1. use 'getobject()' first to get a handler on the object from the brain

OR
2. include the attributes you are after into the catalog metadata
(from ZMI -> catalog management -> Metadata tab)

Hope this helps,

  Raphael
