[Zope-CMF] registering python products

[Meilicke, Scott]

Yes, the product and factory method properties were changed (I think - still
new to the CMF).  

I started over by copying NewsItem.py into another ./Products/MyProduct
directory, modified __init__.py, changed a few import statements to reflect
the path differences, and within NewsItem.py, changed Id and Meta Type from
'News Item' to 'Market Item'.  I could then add my product via the types
tool, and it would show up in the list of products to add after clicking
'New' within the portal.  

Feeling brave, I then changed all references from 'News' to 'Market',
renamed NewsItem.py to MarketItem.py, and modified __init__.py accordingly.


>From the types tool, I deleted the item I added, then recreated it, but it
does not show up in the list of 'New' items.

Is this a CMFCorePermissions issue?  I'm stuck.

Thanks - Scott

In the types tool, did you make sure the Product and Factory method
properties were changed?  The list of available content types is
security checked by attempting to call the factory method, and if it
fails, it assumes you don't have permission.
