[Zope] Adding ZClass instances using a Python script.

[Luca Manini]

Hi, 

the question is very simple, could be a FAQ but does not seems to be a
Frequently ANSWERED Question, so here it goes:

1) I have a Product called PhoneBookProduct (done via ZMI),

2) I have a ZClass in it, called Person, 

3) the Person class has two properties name and phone, defined in a
   property sheet named basic,

4) I have a view for those properties. 

5) I have a test Folder to test my Product. 

So far so good, I can add Person instances (Id asked) and then I can
edit the properties; all this with the standard magically created
stuff. 

Now I want to do my own interface, so I create the obvious index_html:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>id
    <th>name 
    <th>phone
  </tr>

<dtml-in "objectValues('Person')">

  <tr>
    <td><dtml-var id>
    <td><dtml-var name>
    <td><dtml-var phone>
  </tr>

</dtml-in>

<table>
<form method="post">
<br>name:  <input name="name"  value="foo">
<br>phone: <input name="phone" value="555">
<br><input type="submit" name="add:method" value=" Add ">
</form>

where "add" (the action of the add button) should be a Python Script
that creates a Person instance, edit the properties as of REQUEST, and
add the istance to some folder (lets say test, that contains both the
index_html and the add Python Script).

What are the magic lines to put into "add"?


	TIA, Luca
