You can try:

container.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'].MyProduct_add()

MyProduct_add is the constructor of the ZClass MyProduct

How do I pass the object id to this constructor? Seems that it reads it from the REQUEST, but I can't assign to REQUEST in a python script. This code:

context.REQUEST['id'] = myObjectId container.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'].MyProduct_add()

produces an error:

Error Type: TypeError Error Value: object does not support item or slice assignment

Am I missing something?

Sorry, write: obj=context.MyProduct.createInObjectManager(id, {}) On Thursday 05 September 2002 16:59, Borislav wrote:

Zope has a problem with the first line: obj=context.MyProduct.createInObjectManager(id=id, {})

When I try to save the code I'm getting an error:

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: SyntaxError Error Value: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

When I comment out the first line, Zope accepts the code. Any suggestions?

After I create the object with:

container.manage_addProduct['MyProduct'].MyProduct_add(id='myBeautifulObject')

I can get the object id with:

container.objectIds()

However, the object does not appear if I browse the container through the ZMI. Is there an additional step, maybe setting some object properties, so that the object appears in the ZMI? No. But, there must be no error (exception) after the object is created. Otherwise, the transaction is aborted and all of its effects wiped out.

Another solution may be, that "container" is not what you expect. In this case, the objects would be created elsewhere.. Dieter
