[Zope-CMF] can not add new CMF-type

[Robert Rottermann]

Thanks for your tip,

I see that the list is filtered. However I do not find the piece of code
where that list is built.

When I look at the html code that is sent to the browser I find
"folder_factories" as the method that is called.
But alas, searching all files does not reveal such a method.
