[Zope-CMF] portal_types & actions

[Ausum Studio]

Don't expect to render your object by the id of the action. Use instead the
name of the method. That's what the action box retrieves for you, doesn't
it?:

http://10.10.10.105:8080/Portal/Newsletter/1030540991/file_view_popup

Kind of weird that the id doesn't work for this, huh?. But it happens for
every factory-based object type. Try this: Create a new type based on a
Document, go the actions tab and change everything trying to get rid of the
word "view" for the first action, and you'll see that calling "view" will
still retrieve your custom non-document_view-named action.
