Michael, Accessing through the control panel is supposed to work. For some reason, it doesn't lately. :-( Here's a snippet of code I'm using to grab a ZClass and instantiate it in lieu of being able to grab it from the Control Panel: def addtocart(self, distribution=0): """ """ request = self.REQUEST cart = request.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getPlace().Cart # grabbing this class is wayyyyy too hard to do. app = self.getPhysicalRoot() ut = app.unrestrictedTraverse obpath = ('Control_Panel', 'Products', 'NABSupplier', 'ZapNABAlbum', 'propertysheets', 'methods', 'ZapNABAlbumCartItemClass') klass = ut(obpath)._zclass_ # that was easy, wasn't it? item = klass(self, distribution) cart.additem(item) Michael Bernstein wrote:
Is there some way of instantiating a ZClass in Zope from within a Python product?
I've been trying to get access to Control_Panel.Products from within a Python product, but have so far met with no success.
Is there some way to access Zope internals such as the Control Panel from within a Python product (not an external method)?
I think this problem is interesting to warrant a How-To, so I'll write it up as one if I can figure it out.
Thanks for any insights you can offer,
Michael Bernstein.
