[Zope] creating zope folders and folder content

[Ausum Studio]

# 'self' is the container

self.manage_addFolder(folder_id, folder_title)
new_folder = getattr(self, folder_id)

# create the Zope image object for the new thumbnail
new_folder.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addImage(thumbnail_id,
                                               thumbnail_file,
                                               'thumbnail image')

several

separating

find
