[Zope] Re: Generic add page template fails (solved)

OK, I've solved it by using another way (details are below)

On my python class I put:

manage_addBoringForm=PageTemplateFile('ZPT/addBoring',globals())
manage_addBoringForm.Kind='Boring'
manage_addBoringForm._owner=None

And here is how I called it from the ZPT:

<h1 tal:define="pageTitle python:here.manage_form_title(here,
          request,form_title='Add %s' % template.Kind)"
    tal:replace="structure pageTitle">Add myClass
</h1>

...

<form action="someAction" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
      tal:define="formAction python:'manage_add'+template.Kind"
      tal:attributes="action formAction">

...

My idea, as you see, is to write a macro that I can use from another
Products, which I will migrate from ZClasses to python based products.
