[Zope-CMF] Re: How-To: Automatically Add Objects at CMF Member Creation Time

[Grégoire Weber]

Hi Josh,

I wasn't reading the list the last two (three?) weeks so I missed this ... :-(

Thanks for mentioning that! Did you implement this in your Portal or
is it just a code snipped waiting to be inserted at the correct place?

I agree with you that something like this should be in the core. I made 
this hotfix product because my implementation has only prototype state
(forthe moment) and I didn't want to invest too much time in a much 
cleaner solution.

For the moment I do not have the resources to do the thing the right way,
so proposing a change to the CMFDefault code base.
