... I grok the DTML and am thinking I need to be looking more at ZPT, but I can muddle my way through either of those. Here's where I'm stuck: now that I've created my "objects" (folders), how do I address them from Python scripts for add/edit/delete functionality? I can see in the sample apps how to p_changed=1 to save the current object, but how about a new one? I can't save my object if I don't have one yet....
You create new objects by: someObjectManager.manage_addProduct[ProductName].constructor(args...) "someObjectManager" is the destination where the new objects should be created in. Usually, it is a Folder. "ProductName" is the name of the product that defines the class that should be instantiated. It is 'OFSP' for many Zope builtin classes (e.g. "Folder", "DTMLMethod"). PythonScripts and PageTemplates live in their own product, however. "constructor" is the constructor to create instances of your class. It is (e.g.) "manage_addFolder" to create a folder and "manage_addFile" to create a file. Look for "registerClass" in the products "__init__.py". Dieter
