View an object's catalog information

This little utility is really useful to me. I'm not sure it's posted elsewhere, it comes from Joel Burton originally. Inspect any content on your site (including folders) by appending /getCatInfo to the URL.

In your Plone root, from the ZMI, add a Script (Python). Give it the id getCatInfo, and use the code below:

from string import join
obid = context.id
path = join(context.getPhysicalPath(), '/') 
results = container.portal_catalog(path=path,getID=obid,sort_on='created',sort_order='reverse')
rid = ''
for r in results:
     rid = r.getRID()
if rid:
     print container.portal_catalog.manage_objectInformation(rid=rid)
else:
     print "Not in the catalog, apparently."
return printed

After you save this, you can append /getCatInfo to any Plone URL to get complete catalog information about the page, folder, link, etc. you are looking at.
