I have a problem with my product. I use Zope 2.7.5 and Plone 2.0.5.
I need to create the copy of Document content-type on my product's install the same way as it is done in portal_types via "Factory-based Type Information" option of dropdown. I just need to have the copy of it and to alter some fields.
Here's some code I stole from Chapter 8 of my book, were a Folder-derived type is created in an install script:: from Products.CMFCore.Expression import Expression # Customize types types_tool=getToolByName(portal,'portal_types') # New 'NewsFolder' type based on folder types_tool.manage_addTypeInformation(id='NewsFolder', add_meta_type="Factory-based Type Information", typeinfo_name="CMFPlone: Plone Folder") nf = getattr(types_tool, 'NewsFolder') nf.manage_changeProperties(filter_content_types=1, allowed_content_types=('News Item',)) actions=nf._cloneActions() for a in actions: if a.id == 'view': a.action = Expression('string:${object_url}/newsfolder_view') nf._actions=(actions) After a clone of the type is made based on Plone Folder, some changes are made: contents are filtered, and only News Items are allowed; also an action is changed to point to a custom template. This is a better option than using the copy/paste API like you might do in the ZMI. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com
