Some parts are still missing:

- add a traverser that allows to use pretty URLs and better portal type handling for add views (not part of this proposal)

- don't show newstyle types in folder_factories

- show add actions in the CMFDefault skin


Proposal 1: allowedContentTypes
-------------------------------

This PortalFolder method is used by folder_factories and by folder_contents to decide if the 'New...' button is added. I propose to add a new skip_add_views argument to allowedContentTypes. If true, newstyle types are skipped.


Please let this default to False.

Sure.

I wonder if it's better to have a separate
method that does the skipping. allowedContentTypes may be used by other
things already. Plone uses it in a few places, for example. :)

I have no strong opinion about this. What would be a good name for a separate method?

I don't suppose there's a way to make all FTI's expose actions, and just
construct an appropriate fallback URL (e.g. createObject or whatever) if no
add view has been specified? That'd mean folder_factories could just loop
through the actions.

Not sure I understand what you propose. folder_factories is a form that allows to specify type and ID. I don't think we should ask for the ID *before* showing the add view. And if we have no add view, we need folder_factories' ID input field.

But this might work: If we also implement the traverser, the traverser could return a default add view that just asks for the ID. In that case we could use actions for newstyle and oldstyle types.

That solution would change the add procedure for oldstyle types, but maybe that's better than listing newstyle and oldstyle types in two different places.


Any opinions?


Cheers,
