Question

I am trying to fetch a Named Vocabulary and loop through its contents. Below is the code I have so far.

def get_car_types(self):

    car_types = []

    vtool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_vocabularies')
    cars_vocab = vtool.getVocabularyByName('my.package.car_models')

    for terms in cars_vocab:
        print terms.value + ": " + terms.title

I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'startswith'

It points out that the error is somewhere around this line:

for terms in cars_vocab:

What could be the problem? How does one fetch a named vocabulary and loop through the values? I have been using this link.

Answer 1

I figured out another way to make it work. Below is the code.

from Products.ATVocabularyManager import NamedVocabulary

def get_car_types(self):        

        car_types = []        
        car_vocab = NamedVocabulary('my.package.car_models')
        car_terms = car_vocab.getDisplayList(self).items()

        for term in car_terms:
            car_types.append( (term[0], term[1]) )

        return car_types

Thanks to all the guys who offered to answer my question.
