How to re-index all content of a certain type?

I would like to re-index all content of a particular type, just once.

Should I make a python script in the zmi?

This is what I have so far

from zope.component.hooks import getSite

site = getSite()
items = site.contentItems()
items.reindexObject()

I am not sure how to specify the type... or if I am on the right track. Are there any examples of doing this kind of operation that I can dissect?

A solution we use:

import plone.api

catalog = plone.api.portal.get_tool(name='portal_catalog')
for brain in catalog(portal_type='My portal type'):
    obj = brain.getObject()
    catalog.catalog_object(obj)

Using catalog_object method from ZCatalog is the same API used by the ZMI "Update" feature:

ZMI Catalog update

Pros: modification date is not updated, you are simply reindexing the catalog data Cons: you can't use this API from restricted Python (while you can call obj.reindexObject)

If you don't have problem about modification date changes, the gforcata answer is simpler.

The best way would actually to use the catalog for that:

import plone.api

catalog = plone.api.portal.get_tool(name='portal_catalog')
for brain in catalog(portal_type='My portal type'):
    obj = brain.getObject()
    obj.reindexObject()

That would do it.

Notice that I used only plone.api calls, so your code would be future proof.
