Question

I am passing an IntId of Dexterity content through a form into a browser view.
How can I resolve the IntId back into the original object in Plone?

Answer 1

Use the IIntIds utility:

from zope.component import getUtility
from zope.intid.interfaces import IIntIds

intidutil = getUtility(IIntIds)
object = intidutil.getObject(id)

Alternatively, you could use the .queryObject() method, it takes a default keyword parameter (defaults to None), returned if the id is not found.
