[Zope-CMF] how to modify the add user method?

[marc lindahl]

I did this, and was going to put together a how-to, haven't had time yet.
But basically, in register.dtml, called this script
(createUserDefaults.pys), which I'll put below.  Modified registered.dtml
also, so that I could print a result string from the function (optional
geekiness).  Also, the .pys had to have a proxy role of owner in order to
work.  Here's the pythonscript (the lines will probably be wrapped in the
wrong place...):

#copy stuff from user_defaults to user folder, build default mypic image
#depends on folder user_defaults with everything there copied
#and an image user_default_mypic both in the same folder as this script
#
uf = container.portal_membership.getHomeFolder(username)

uf.manage_permission('Add Documents, Images, and Files', ['Anonymous',
'Member', 'Owner','Manager','Reviewer'], 1)
uf.manage_permission('Add portal content', ['Anonymous', 'Member',
'Owner','Manager','Reviewer'], 1)

obs = 
container.user_defaults.manage_copyObjects(container.user_defaults.objectIds
())
uf.manage_pasteObjects(obs)

#uf.mypic.manage_setLocalRoles(username, ['Owner'])

#change this one back, since we're operating in a known, limited situation
uf.manage_permission('Add Documents, Images, and Files', [], 1)
uf.manage_permission('Add portal content', [], 1)

return 'Set up ' + `uf.getId()` +' with default content '+
`container.user_defaults.objectIds()`
