I think what you want to be doing is going to the folder you wish to add an instance of the product in, and trying to add it there. That is, go >to the URL http://localhost:9673/manage, select your product from the drop-down, and click add.
I just cannot see my product(Poll) in the drop down. There's no changes there. Now I've just checked Control-Panel, it says "Broker Product Poll". When I click on add (Principia Factory), it says: "Before you can define a factory, you have to define one or more 'methods', such as Document or other objects that do the factory's work." I'll see through the tutorial soon, but if you could give a quick hack letting me do the install, it will be great! :) Thank you! :)
There are two different kinds of 'Products's in Zope. The first kind (represented by the 'open box' in the Control Panel) is a through the web developed product. Using these products, and factories, object, and maybe ZClasses, you can develop a Zope product through the web. You are not required to know any Python to make a product like this. You do, however, need to know the process by which you create a product. See Amos's ZClass tutorial in the list archives. The second kind of product (represented by the 'close box' in the Control Panel) is a pure python product. The Poll product is one of these. it is written in python and all of it's files are read off the filesystem. The reason Zope says 'Broken Poll Product' is because there is a problem somewhere in the Python code of the Poll Product. The Poll Product dates all the way back to version 1.9, so I'm guessing that a change somewhere in Zope from then till now is causing the Poll product to break. If you click on the (broken) Poll Product, there will be traceback tab that takes you to the traceback view. Cut and paste that traceback into a mail message and send it to the list. -Michel
