IssueTrackerProduct

Or, how to not use objectValues(), objectIds() or objectItems()

If you're writing a Zope script that does some listing of your issues in an IssueTrackerProduct instance then you should use getIssueObjects() instead. Then you don't even need to know the meta_type of an issue. Here's an example:

 issuetracker = context.MyIssueTracker
 issues = issuetracker.getIssueObjects()
 print "No of issues: %s"%len(issues)
 return printed

The advantage with this approach is related to the new feature that lets you store your issues in a BTreeFolder2 Using getIssueObjects() makes sure it works independent of what storage you use.

There's also:

• getIssueItems(), equivalent of objectItems("Issue Tracker Issue")
• getIssueIds(), equivalent of objectIds("Issue Tracker Issue")

Advanced note

If you need to get all the follow ups inside an issue you can use the rather arcane: ListThreads() method. Here's an example:

 issuetracker = context.MyIssueTracker
 issues = issuetracker.getIssueObjects()
 for issue in issues:
    threads = issue.ListThreads()    
    print issue.getTitle() + " has %s followups\n"%len(threads)
 return printed
