Adding new News items using Yihaw
I am a Zope Newbie, and have been creating a company Intranet using Zope, and have stumbled across a problem that has me absolutely stumped! I have created a basic Web Interface using the Yihaw Product, and in this, I have added News Items. To search this, I use ZCatalog, which works quite well. The aim of this is to have a message board that authorised users can add and delete messages from. So far, the only way that I have found to add messages, is to actually add a new "Yihaw News" product from the Zope Management Interface. What I want to happen is that I can have a link to a page that displays a form with one field with the message to be displayed, and perhaps another field with a brief title. (The other fields, being the date and the name of the person who posted the message, I will have automatically, using the datetime function, and the authorised_user function.) This then generates itself into a Yihaw News item. Does anyone know how I could achieve this, or perhaps a work around for this? Thanks, Meaghan

Never used Yihaw, but that sounds a lot like Squishdot to me. Giev it a spin and let me know what you think :-) cheers, Chris
