[Zope-dev] how to pass 'self'

[Joerg Wittenberger]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to create an object in a way very simillar to some working
code, but it refuses to work.  Any help?

The working code read:

<!--#with "manage_clone(f99999, 'f' + REQUEST['number'], REQUEST)"-->
 <dtml-call "fsmirror(_)">
 <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"-->
<!--#/with-->

Now I wrote a python product, which is pretty folderish, it has a
method like this:

def manage_addFeature(self, id, file='', REQUEST=None):
    """ Create a Feature """
    self._setObject(id, Feature(id, data=file, REQUEST=REQUEST))
    return self.manage_main(self, REQUEST, update_menu=1)

and I'm trying to substitute the manage_clone from above.

Whatever I do, I can't get this working:

  <dtml-with "Control_Panel.manage_addProduct.docstore.Feature.createInObjectManager('f' + REQUEST['number'], REQUEST=REQUEST)">

When I compare the definition the whole thing becomes even blured.
Both mange_clone and manage_addFeature have 'self'.  The former has
two required and one key arg, the latter has one required and one key
arg.  I'd expect zope to either complain when I pass manage_clone no
self (as in the working code above) or neither complain with the
none-working code.  What am I missing?

Thanks a lot

/Jerry
