I have been stumbling my way through the Zope Content Managers guide
(http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZCMG/ZCMG.pdf) with varying
degrees of success. I realize that the documentation is a work in
progress, but right now, I am finding it to be quite confusing in parts.

In particular, I am having trouble with the "Turning an Application into
a Zope Product" section. I have cut and pasted the Builder and Designer
DTML methods from the documentation into a new product, created a
factory as instructed, but when I try to 'add' the product using the add
menu, I see the Designer fill-in form as I should....but when I press
submit, I get the following error :-

Zope Error

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
 Error Type: NameError
 Error Value: Home

Troubleshooting Suggestions

This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or
variable Home.
The URL may be incorrect.
The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.
A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.

Has anyone successfully followed the instructions in the Zope Content
Managers guide and got a working product ?

thanks for any help,

Darcy
