[Zope-CMF] Changing Object Creator

[Rolander, Dan]

Thanks for the info Flynt, but I'm afraid I don't possess enough zen to
comprehend this yet. I've created an external method but I'm getting errors
when trying to call it. What should the value of user be? Does it need to be
the id of my user object? If so, how should I obtain that? (A little more
code would help me).

Thanks,
Dan
