Joachim, Have you seen the *brilliant* Zope Quick Reference? If not I'd get it and treasure it. http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zqr You'll not regret this one :) Phil phil.harris@zope.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joachim Werner" <joachim.werner@iuveno.de> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 9:35 AM Subject: [Zope] Documentation issues ... cloning folders into instances

O.k., my current problem is that I have a folder with icons and images in a ZClass that should be copied to all new instances of the class.
There seems to be a "manage_clone" call for that (just read about it in a posting), but how does it work and where do I find any documentation on it?
As all those methods are in the namespace, isn't there at least a trick to get a list of all names to print out? That would be a first start.
I mean, I had to figure out every single call like manage_addDTMLDocument or manage_changeProperties by trial and error. That makes Zope so much less efficient that it could be ...
