Creating nested ZClass programmatically
Hi First of all, Happy New Year to you all! I am trying to grok ZClasses. I have created a set of classes as follows: StudySite | Study | StudyArm | SubjectFolder | Subject I can create instances of each nested class successfully through the management interface. Now I want users to be able to add instances via a standard user interface, but I cannot work out how to do so. I have users navigate to the desired Study, click an "Add Subject" button that opens a form to collect subject details, click "Add" to open a DTMLMethod, and then I come unstuck - whatever dtml-call syntax I try returns "global name 'StudySite' is not defined". I assume I am not accessing the ZClass namespace, but what is the syntax? Would I be better using a python script? If so, what syntax should I use? Would it have been easier had I created all the classes at the base level of the ZClass? Thanks for your help! Nick

Since you did not share with us the code you used, I'm not sure what your problem is, but may be it is the same that I experienced a while ago: <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['Productname']"> call your class_add method here </dtml-with> 'Productname' should be the name of your product as it appears in the 'Products' folder and not the matatype of your class hth, cb

Many thanks, I now understand - I was trying to refer to the class method using the path as seen in the management interface, e.g. StudySite/Study/StudyArm_add. For some reason when I tried the syntax above using just StudyArm_add it failed, but now it works ;-) Ah well, I'll put it down to the 'flu I was suffering at the time. Nick
