[Zope] using formlib for nonclasic content types

[Jim Pharis]

I went through the same motions as you in Zope2.12 trying to use Phillkon's
book as a guide. I think I ran into the same problem as you. The key is in
the package five.localsitemanager.

My Site Interface is nothing.

class IMySite(Interface):
    """My Site""

In my site.py I have the following.
...
from five.localsitemanager import make_objectmanager_site
...
class MySite(Folder):
    implements(IMySite)
    def __init__(self, id):
        setHooks()
        Folder.__init__(self, id='Mine')
        make_objectmanager_site(self) <----- key to making a OFS folder a
site
        setSite(self)
        notify(NewMySiteEvent(self)

After that you can treat your MySite OFS Folder like a site. Register
utilities with it, setHooks, and setSite.

Hope this helps,

- Jim
