Kevin, Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. Fires to put out. I'm sure you know how that is. I actiually wanted to do it all in python because I have an external method that chops up an old flat file of data, and turns them into ZClass instances. Right now it uses a web transaction for the whole thing, and since it's like 16,000 instances, my tmp directory fills up and it chokes. I wanted to change it so that it makes ZClass instances without the web trasaction. Jason Kevin Dangoor wrote:

Hi, Jason

You can do it via DTML. In KM|net News, I needed to add KMArticle objects based on input from the user... Here is the call I used:

<dtml-call "KMArticle_add(_.None, _, NoRedir=1)">

NoRedir is a flag I added to the standard _add Method ZClass constructor so that it wouldn't redirect at all (which is what I wanted in this circumstance)

Zopesters,

I want to create ZClasses without using the web interface. It should be a external method right? How do I get activated by a link in Zope? Any help is greatly appreciated.
