Yep, I can do that, but I get an error when I call it. Here is what I'm seeing. I created a Product Foo with a ZClass foo in it, with foo_add, foo_addForm and foo_factory. I created an external method that that makes these calls. Here are the calls and results: # this gets an Attribute Error on 'Foo' (not 'foo') self.manage_addProduct.Foo.foo(id='hi') # this appears to do nothing self.Control_Panel.Products.Foo.foo(id='hi') # this gets a NameError on foo.createInObjectManager() self.Control_Panel.Products.Foo.foo_add(id='hi') # this creates an object 'hi' in Products/Foo -- not in the current folder self.Control_Panel.Products.Foo.foo.createInObjectManager('hi', {}) How do I create a ZClass in the current folder using an external method? I feel like the answer is probably going to slap me across the head RSN but I've been stumped on this for a few days now. Thanks for any pointers, satori, etc. Alex Rice | alrice@swcp.com | http://www.swcp.com/~alrice Current Location: N. Rio Grande Bioregion, Southwestern USA
