[Zope-CMF] New Portal types question

[Kevin Carlson]

Hi Andrew,

This gives me an error -- perhaps I'm not understanding the context of the
call correctly.  I've tried:

<dtml-in expr="contentValues(Filter={'Type': ('XYZ',)})" sort="Title">

and

<dtml-in expr="objectValues('XYZ')" contentValues(Filter={'Type': ('XYZ',)})
sort="Title">

the first of which throws an error on view and the second throws an error on
save.  Searched the help files and zope.org for "contentValues" and nothing
turned up.  What am I doing wrong?

Kevin

Use contentValues(Filter={'Type': ('XYZ',)})
