JavaScript patch for folders with lots of objects

Created by . Last modified on 2003/08/05.

Note: In Zope version 2.3 DC added this into the management interface. So there.

If you have a page with lots of objects and are getting bored of clicking on each individual object to select try this patch to allow selecting all the objects:

To /lib/python/OFS/main.dtml add:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
function SetChecked(val) {
        dml=document.main;
        len = dml.elements.length;
        var num=0;
        for(num=0; num < len; num++) {
                if (dml.elements[num].name=='ids:list') {
			dml.elements[num].checked=val;
                }
        }
}
</SCRIPT>

You can then add:

<javascript:SetChecked(1)>
<javascript:SetChecked(0)>

some where into to that page as you see fit. Even more cunning, add the javascript into manage_tabs so its available on all mgmt. pages.
