I may be simplifying the problem...but
Have you tried the built in constructor methods and factory that instantiate
with all zClasses?
There are several generic methods that are included with all zClasses.

To programatically create zClasses look at...
    yourZClass_add (yourZClass constructor)
    yourZClass (yourZClass constructor input form)

Subject: Re: [Zope] Programmatically adding my product


Yes, it was helpful, in that up to now, I had not been able to
programmatically add anything. Now can add OFS products and I'm sure
anything else supplied with the distro.

The problem is that the recipe in the cookbook did not work for my own
ZClass based product and the reason I believe is that the ZClass derived
product does not have a method of the form manage_addXXXX(id='yyyy').
Always reports an attribute error. Investigating using type() and dir()
help somewhat, but I'm no further on.

I have the same problem as Damon. I have a product based on a ZClass.
I have followed the example of the cookbook, and can easily get OFS
products to add because they seem to have a
manage_addXXXXXX(id='yyyy') attribute.

However, my product based on the ZClass has no such attribute,

hence the

attribute error. The only attributes it appears to have are '_product'
and '_d' and none of those appear to have an attributed
'manage_addXXXXXX(id='yyyy').

Any further help greatly appreciated.

Did Oliver's link not help??
