[Zope] Adding Folders and index_html from Python Script

[karthick ramanarayanan]

Hi,
 Check out the source for manage_addFolder and you will find that you
can specify 2 additional options or flags.
They are for creation of user folders and the index_html template file.
Just call the function with these 2 flags set and you get the acl_users
and the index_html template in your folder.
Cheers,
A.R.K
