[Zope] Newbie ZClass confusion

[Patrick Stinson]

The following is a python constructor that I usually use. I call this
constructor from an html form that sets all of the new object's properties.
notice the 'ProductName' and 'ZClassName' (fill those in).


---------------------------------------------------------------

#board=context.manage_clone(container.messageBoardTemplate, id)

board=context.manage_addProduct['ProductName'].ZClassName.createInObjectMana
ger(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)

board.propertysheets.common.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)

if REQUEST is not None:
   try: u=context.DestinationURL()
   except: u=REQUEST['URL1']
   REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(u+'/manage_main?update_menu=1')

------------------------------------------------------------


This will create a new object of the class you specified in the folder you
called it from.

Hi,
I'm a little confused about ZClass construction.
I have a product 'Lucy' which has folderish ZClasses 'bob' and 'bill' in
it. Each instance of a bob should be constructed with a bill named
'Willliam' in it.
The default DTML method bob_add has the following snippet:

<dtml-with "bob.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)">

   <dtml-comment>
...

   </dtml-comment>

</dtml-with>

Where and how do I construct the bill ? My naive thought
was to put a <dtml-call "bill_add(id='William')"> in the
dtml-with statement, but that doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?
I've read 'The Zope Book' a couple times, looked through ZopeLabs and
didn't see anything like this except for adding a folder, which isn't
that helpful because they're a standard class and have various
management methods defined for them. Ideas?
