Hi,
In some recent messages, there were people talking about creating objects from within External Methods. In there, after the createInObjectManager call, they call a _setObject method (or something like that). Unfortunately, we can't do that from DTML because it starts with _.
createInObjectManager is not used in conjunction with _setObject - createInObjectManager is intended to be used from a DTML method and encapsulates: o basic instantiation of the object, with the given id o doing a _setObject on the target ObjectManager with the new instance.
Maybe there is some piece missing that is need to create these objects wherever you wish via DTML?
Not to confuse the issue, but I've got a slightly different situation and a slightly different problem (but no luck, either :)
I have two ZClasses: KMArticleStore and KMArticle. There is a method within KMArticleStore that I would like to use to create new KMArticles.
I've tried a few variations to get this to work. Brian (Lloyd)'s suggestion <dtml-call "Control_Panel.Products.Kendermedia.KMArticle_add(REQUEST)">
Yields a NameError (KMArticle), here: Object: KMArticle.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)
Eew - this sounds like it comes from the complexity of the acquisition that is going on.
I did, at one point, manage to get the article added to the Products part of the control panel :)
that's not good :(
(I think by calling Control_Panel.Products.Kendermedia.KMArticle.createInObjectManager directly)

Can you post the actual scripting that you're using? It's hard for me to narrow down what's going on without context... Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
