There's a really useful method "add" in IAdding. As the novice zope3 developer I am I would like that method in IFolder (as well). Is there a good reason why IFolder or IWriteContainer doesn't have an add method? It's possible to add content to an IFolder through the IWriteContainer API, but I'd rather use an add method that chooses an appropriate ID for the object.
IAdding has some methods that seem to be about menus. Is this because IAdding should be used together with browser:addMenuItem that also does some menu stuff? Is IAdding only supposed to be used when dealing with /@@+/somevieworfactory? I'd like to add stuff to the folder without using @@+ in the url. I want to use a formlib add form and I have a view called addEvent: <browser:page for="zope.app.folder.interfaces.IFolder" name="addEvent" class=".eventforms.EventAddForm" permission="zope.ManageContent" /> Submitting the form fails though. formlib (AddFormBase) assumes that the context/folder provides IAdding and has an add method. So I can't use for="IFolder". And I can only use IAdding when having /@@+/ in the url. I guess I can make an adapter from IFolder to IAdding, but then I have to implement those menu methods that neither me or the folder care about. So what's the deal with IFolder and IAdding? Why doesn't IFolder have an add method? When should IAdding be used? Can formlib only be used with folders that are adapted to IAdding? Why does IAdding contain menu stuff? How do I use formlib without @@+?
