Nope, product (which is already quite well along) is installed
correctly, adding from the ZMI works just fine, etc.

Inside the manage_addVolunteerSite :

  ...
  volunteersite.manage_addProduct['Volunteer'].manage_addVolunteerUserFolder()
  ...

causes:

  Error Type: AttributeError
  Error Value: _getProducts

the text is:

Traceback (innermost last):
  Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish
  Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
  Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object
  Module Products.Volunteer.VolunteerSite, line 65, in manage_addVolunteerSite
  Module App.FactoryDispatcher, line 26, in __getitem__
  Module App.FactoryDispatcher, line 29, in __bobo_traverse__
AttributeError: _getProducts

However, this works:

  acl_users = VolunteerUserFolder()
  volunteersite._setObject('acl_users', acl_users);

but clearly isn't the best way to do things; besides, there will be
other circumstances when I will want to add products from Python Script
objects.

So what am I doing wrong?
