I am getting a NameError exception calling manage_addZClass from DTML:

Error Type: NameError Error Value: manage_addZClass

My DTML looks like this:- <dtml-call "manage_addZClass(REQUEST['ObjectName'])">

I am using Zope 2.1.6 on NT.

Unless you are attempting somthing like the "local products" hack discussed here back in February (Products declared/scoped within "normal" Zope folders, rather than the "magic" Control_Panel/Products folder), I can't think of any reason you'd want to call "manage_addZClass" -- that method is designed to create the actual class object for a ZClass, and should normally only happen inside Control_Panel/Products. Instances of a given ZClass are created via the factory methods defined within the ZClass product. Guessing that you have defined a ZClass (lets say, "Guiness", defined within a Product called "HarpBrewery"), and want to instantiate it into a folder ("SeansMug"). The "factory methods" for the Guiness class are called Guiness_addForm (HTML form, collects the "constructor parameters") and Guiness_add (DTML method, extracts ctor parms from the REQUEST and creates the object. In this case, you could do the following within a DTML method bound to SeansMug (this assumes that the REQUEST object has previously been populated with appropriate values):: <dtml-with "manage_addProduct[ 'HarpBrewery' ]"><!-- note square braces! --> <dtml-call "Guiness.createInObjectManager( REQUEST[ 'ObjectName' ] , REQUEST )"> </dtml-with> Hope that helps!
