Okay, I'm trying to create a site where the users can load information about
prospective clients and then add contact information about each client. This
is how it works now...
I have a form that creates a folder with the name of the client as the title of
the folder. No sweat. I use...
context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(id=id, title=clientName)
.. which works fine to make the folder itself.
However, there is nothing in the folder (i.e., no index_html file). Thus, when
the user moves to the folder, they get the index_html from the parent folder.
Is there a way to add a file to the newly created folder from a Python script?
The contents of the file can be very easy (such as "<dtml-var
standard_html_header><dtml-var standard_html_footer>").
As an asisde, I want to make the id of the folder a string that contains only
allowable characters that are taken from the name that the users input (with an
_ used in place of the blanks). Is there a quick easy way to do that with some
library function that isn't showing up in the Python Library Reference at
www.python.org?
Thanks in advance,
Ron
