I don't have a problem with manage_addProduct(). I know how it works. Creating objects in a folder is not a problem to me. My problem is the folderish object which I'm trying to find with a string input. If you've read my previous message, the server output error with name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because name is a str object and does not have manage_addFile. I understand this. But name is an id to an exsisting folder that I want to access and do operation inside. how would I modify name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into a working statement? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Jung <lists@zopyx.com> To: Allen Huang <swapp0@yahoo.com>; Zope <zope@zope.org> Sent: Sunday, January 7, 2007 4:06:27 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object --On 7.

name == folder.getId()

say I want to use manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into this folder with the getId() == name

but I can't do name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because 'name' is a str object

so how do I create a file inside a folder whose id is 'name'?
