Hi Josef , Thanks for yopur prompt reply . I am tryiong to resolve my problem but getting stuck again.Please help me out here. I am trying to use manage_clone to add a python script into a folder . I am adding a new folder intot the Zope directory Structure and then taking the context of the newly added Flder and adding a Python Script into it .This is similar to what Zope does when adding a folder and adding a Page template(index_html) into it. ============================================================= #My Python file which I am adding as an External Method in Zope ---------obj_Clone_Sep.py #from OFS import CopyContainer.manage_clone from App.Common import * import re import CopyContainer from Globals import REPLACEABLE, NOT_REPLACEABLE, UNIQUE def getCloneSEP(folderObj,id,cloneObj,strName): ob=folderObj._getOb(id) #getting the context of the folder if(strName != ''): ob.CopyContainer.manage_clone(cloneObj,strName) #I am cloning cloneObj and giving it a new name ============================================================ #This is the Error I get on trying to add a Clone Error Type: ImportError Error Value: No module named CopyContainer ============================================================= #My Python Script #I first add a folder #I then clone a Python Script into the Folder result = context.sis.Public.add_fol_sep(context ,i=str(textname),tit=str(textname)) #add_fol_sep is an External MEthod that ads a file into the current context (which is a folder in the Zope Directory Structure) resu = context.obj_Clone_Sep(context,id=str(textname),cloneObj=container.add_folder _sep,strName='add_folder_sep') #this is my call to External Python Script --------obj_Clone_Sep.py return resu ============================================================================ ======= If I try to add a Python file without importing the OFS Module I am asked to login to the ZMI for accessing the manage_clone method .This is happening inspite of my using External Methods. Where am I going wrong??
