[Zope-CMF] Controlling creation of content

[Chris Withers]

[this message didn't appear to get through, so trying again]

Hi,

I've been thinking about http://zope.org/Collectors/CMF/114 again after
a year and a half ;-)

The change Shane made in revision 1.9 of:

http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/DCWorkflow/WorkflowUIMixin.py

...suggests, that you might now be able to control who can create
content and where they can create it using DCWorkflow.

Is this what the "Instance creation conditions" section is for on the
properties tabs of DCWorkflow instances in CMF 1.5?

If so, what can go in the permissions, roles, and particularly the
groups box?

How these boxes interact with each other and how does the "expression"
box come into play?

Also, is there any way "expression" could point to a python script so
really funky stuff could be done? If it could, how can you get at the
names available to the expression from within the script? _['somename']?

cheers,

Chris
