I haven't gone back to look at the history of this thread, but it seems you want to call something like; self.manage_addProduct['SimpleSite'].manage_addBasicDocument(id='index_h tml', title='') (manage_addProduct is a mapping of Product name to Product object. as long as you've registered the constructors for SimpleSite in the __init__ of the Product, you should be able to get to them like this).

Thanks for the help gentlemen, but I still get the same error mesage:

Zope Error

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

AttributeError

Sorry, a Zope error occurred.

Any thoughts,

I think he meant ob.__of__(self) which wraps ob into the context of self. Useful for returning unwrapped Python objects while you're in Python.

I have a folderish product say myFolder, in the

manage_addMyFolder function I

...

want to create an object of my product B. so I do this:

def manage_addmyFolder(self, id, title='', REQUEST=None): """Add a new myFolder object with id *id*. """ ob=myFolder() ob.id=id ob.title=title self._setObject(id, ob) try: user=REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] except: user=None ob.manage_addB(id='index_html', title='') <-- if I change this to Try: (ob __of__ self).manage_addB(....)

whats is ob__of__self ???

acquisition at its best?

attribute access to get a reference to the ob attr of self?
