[Zope] Add ZPT at initialization Zope product

30 May 2002

      Hi all,

I am working on a News product. I have build it in python. It is a
folderish product and I want that at initialization of the product a
ZPT is added in the product.

I have tried this with DTML Method and it works fine:

        self.manage_addDTMLMethod('index_html',title='',file='contents of file')

But it isn't working for ZPT. I'm looking for a way to do this, cause
I need to use the ZPT in my product.

I've tried this:

        parent = getattr(self, 'aq_parent', None)        
        self._createZPT(parent, 'ZPTid', 'title', 'Template')

    def _createZPT(self, parent, id, title, content):
        """Add a PageTemplate to the News product"""
        parent._setObject(id, ZopePageTemplate.ZopePageTemplate(id, text=content))
        getattr(parent, id).pt_setTitle(title)

But got the following error from Zope:

AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute '_setObject'

The getattr method seems to return None, but the object really has a
parent. 

Am I forgetting something?

Thanks,

Greetz Nico
