Sorry for accidentally posting in html no idea how it got set to html. I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it works great. I've also created a folderish product. Installed. When a user selects that product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like dtml documents, dtml methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder). I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function to create DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products directory) additionally, I am unbale to it create any Products from the Products directory, such as Local File System????? The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? ob.manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_html', title='') <-- THIS LINES GENERATES AN ERROR: AttributeError: manage_addBasicDocument ref the code below. Please reply all if you are responding from the dev list as I usually don't monitor the dev list.
