[Zope] id problems in product I'm creating

[auto44082@hushmail.com]

I'm trying to create a product which is a derivative of the DTML document. 
Things seem to work OK, I go into the product management screen, add my 
product, then add a zclass to my products which inherits the DTML document 
class. So far so good. Then I go in and add my custom ICON, and go to the 
root folder to try it out.

The problem is that when I add a new instance of my product, I am prompted 
for an ID, and the product is added, but Nothing in this new product which 
access or uses the id variable works. When you click on the new DTML derived 
object, you do indeed get the edit screen (looks just like the one for a 
DTML doc), but the id field at the top is blank. Furthermore, when you browse 
to this new object. The standard view containing a standard header,footer 
and a sentence stating the ID of the document is wrong. The ID is blank. 
the DTML tag , <dtml-var id> yeilds nothing.

But I can't find anything wrong in my product's add form method, or the 
add constructor method.

Any Ideas?  Thanks for any help as I'm farely new to this whole Zope thing.
