I've created a folderish product. When I select that product from the available objects list, thus creating an instance of that product, I can
create objects like dtml document and dtml method in the new folderish object (very similar to what happens when you instantiate a folder object, you can have a dtml method created in the new folder).
The question is why can't I create objects from the Products directory, such as Local File System?????
The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each with
a dtml method in them.... HOW CAN I CREATE A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER OBJECT FROM THE PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION???????
def manage_addSimpleSite(self, id, title='', createNewFolder=0, createEditFolder=0, REQUEST=None): """Add a new SimpleSite object with id *id*.
If the 'createNewFolder' and 'createEditFolder' parameters are set to any true value, an 'New sub Folder' and an 'edit sub Folder' objects are created respectively in the new SimpleSite. """ ob=SimpleSite() ob.id=id ob.title=title self._setObject(id, ob) try: user=REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] except: user=None ob.manage_addDTMLDocument(id='index_html', title='') if createNewFolder: if (user is not None) and not ( user.has_permission('Add User SimpleSites', self)): raise 'Unauthorized', ( 'You are not authorized to add User SimpleSites.' ) ob.manage_addFolder(id='New'+id, title='', createPublic=1) if createEditFolder: if (user is not None) and not ( user.has_permission('Add Documents, Images, and Files', self)): raise 'Unauthorized', ( 'You are not authorized to add DTML Documents.' ) ob.manage_addFolder(id='Edit'+id, title='', createPublic=1) if REQUEST is not None: return self.manage_main(self, REQUEST, update_menu=1)
a couple of things. A. you're not being blackballed. when you're posting to the list its hard to help without specifics. you're posting above, would be better with a traceback of code that does attempt to instantiate a product. which leads to B. how are you attempting to instantiate your other products. example code of what you're trying to do would be helpful. are you doing it the same as adding folders like above... i have no idea... C. seems like you're doing this in python. the code below should work fine. from Products import LocalFS in manage_add: id = 'foo' ob2 = LocalFS.LocalFS(id) # check the exact calls to __init__ in LocalFS id2 = 'foo2' ob = yourproduct(id2) ob._setObject(id , ob2) in __init__ or manage_afterAdd id ='foo' ob = LocalFS.LocalFS(id) self._setObject(id, ob)
