[Zope-CMF] newbie discussion question

[Tim Fouracre]

Thanks for the help Norman,

While i was waiting for a reply, i was messing about with creating a Topic, 
and managed to come out with something similar :-)

My question now is does the Topic auto catalog itself? so when new 
Discussions are added, they are also returned by the query? I don't think it 
does as i have tried adding a new discussion and it isn't picked up, any 
ideas on how to do this?

cheers

Tim
