I am trying to create a wizard in my portal to enable users to store information. In addition to the features of the already existing Document Wizard, I would like my Wizard to have more features like information about the category of the document, etc. I created a file called "Userdocument.py" with a method "addUserdocument" which will be called to add a new document. I have also added the new entry to the PTKBases & PTKDemos __init__.py. But as soon as Zope starts, it gives this error

2001-01-25T06:07:07 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.PTKDemo Traceback (innermost last): File /export/usr/local/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 397, in import_products (Object: string) File "/export/usr/local/Zope-2.2.4-src/lib/python/Products/PTKDemo/__init__.py ", line 159 PTKBase.Userdocument = Userdocument ^ SyntaxError: invalid token

Could anyone please tell me how to create custom wizards and to register them?

Priya, First, the PTK has its own mailing list, zope-ptk@zope.org; you are much likelier to get useful and timely advice there about PTK-specific issues. Second, I don't think the region of code in which you have injected that line needs it; it exists solely to provide backward-compatibility with portals created before version 0.8 of the PTK. Third, I can't see anything about your code which woudl trigger a syntax error; typically, in this case, the real error would be a line or two ahead (opening but not closing a parenthesis, omitting a comma, etc. Fourth, you would typically add a new content class in a separate product, either on the filesystem or in a "through-the-web" ZClass product; mixing your stuff with PTKBase/PTKDemo means you will be forced to deal with lots of merge conflicts (and these days, I mean *LOTS*). I would recommend creating a new CVS sandbox, as described in my "State of the PTK" message today: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2001-January/002258.html Then, move your 'Userdocument' module into a new Product, a "sibling" of PTKBase and PTKDemo. Register it just as 'PTKDemo.Document' is registered, and create a Wizard for it by cloning the Document wizard and "filing off the serial numbers". Hope that helps, Tres. -- =============================================================== Tres Seaver tseaver@digicool.com Digital Creations "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.org
