[Zope] Re: manage_addFile problem

[Ian Sealy]

Dear all,

I sent the following message to the list just before Christmas, but
didn't get any replies. I've tried changing the admin_addfiles method
to:

  <dtml-call expr="manage_addFile(filename, file='', title=filetitle)">
  <dtml-let newfile="_.getitem(filename)">
  <dtml-call expr="newfile.manage_upload(file)">
  <dtml-call expr="newfile.manage_addProperty('author', fileauthor, 'string')">
  <dtml-call expr="newfile.manage_addProperty('maintainer', filemaintainer, 'string')">
  <dtml-call expr="newfile.manage_addProperty('description', filedescription, 'string')">

but I still get the same error. Has anyone got any advice? I can't see
how this is different from adding a file using the management screens.
