[Zope-PTK] Adding new Wizards to a Portal

[Eric L. Walstad]

Yael / PTK'ers,

Did you ever figure out how to implement a new wizard in the PTK?  I
searched the zope-ptk archives, but yours was the only email I saw that even
addressed this issue and I saw only one response to your message.  I'm
CC'ing the list in hopes that someone in-the-know will respond.

I've looked at the "CreatingAPortalContentZClass"
http://yyy.zope.org/Products/PTK/ZWiki/CreatingAPortalContentZClass?pp=1
and am still confused.  Do I *have* to create a ZClass to use the Wizard?

Also, I don't know how to "Override or extend the implementation of these
methods from PortalContent: [snip] SearchableText [snip] Discussion methods"

Just so that I can figure this out, I would like to try a 'HelloWorld'
wizard that simply asks the users name and then creates a page that greets
them.

Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Create a product called "PTKHelloWorld"
    1a. Create a ZClass called "CPTKHW"
        This class uses "Portal Content Base" as its base class
        1a1. Create a property sheet
            1a1a. Create a property called "HelloName", type = string

2. Create a Wizard inside my portal called "HelloPTK"
     2a. wizard_action = CPTKHW_add
     2b. Created 1 Wizard Page with the following code:
         <H2>Add PTKHW</H2>
         <table>
         <tr><th>Id</th>
             <td><input type=text name=id></td>
         </tr>
         <tr><th>Hello Name</th>
             <td><input type=text name="HelloName"></td>
         </tr>
         </table>

When I step thru the wizard's Finish stage, I get the following traceback:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in

I'm stuck.  Please help!

Thanks,

Eric.
