Looking trough your code I see no obvious mistake. if you want to have the value of an input field automatically assigned you have use parameters with your script. Their names must correspond with the names of your input fields. So in your sample you would call the parameter "name" and the you can do the following assignment: wikiname=name If you would name your input field "wikiname" and your parameter the same, that assignment would be not be necessary.

I'm creating a page where users, after logging in, can freely create wikis based on ZWiki. I have a lot of doubts, but I'll start with the beggining. I come from PHP so, my method of working might be wrong and I want to check with you. I have a Template Page called 'my' that gives some status for the user (is supoused to list the wikis that belong to the user and show administrative tools), the main administrative tool is, create a wiki. And that's what I'm working on. I have the following form there: <form action="createWiki" method="get"> Name of the wiki: <input type="text" id="name" /> <input type="submit" label="Create!" /> </form> and then, I have the script 'createWiki': # Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response objects. from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE

wikiName = request.get('name', 'wiki')

# Add the wiki wikisFolder = context.restrictedTraverse('wikis') wikisFolder.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(wikiName, wikiName) newWikiFolder = wikisFolder.restrictedTraverse(wikiName) newWikiFolder.manage_addProduct['ZWiki'].manage_addZWikiPage(wikiName, wikiName)

why doesn't wikiName get's the input var ? and then... is this the right way to do it ? At the end, this script should redirect back to the my page or to the wiki... is that ok ?
