[Zope3-Users] Access request object from content_factory

[mats.nordgren]

John,

I have never done it with the addform approach but it is very easily done with formlib.

class MyContentAddForm(form.AddForm):
  form_fields = form.Fields(IMyContent)

  def __init__(self, context, request):
    self.context = context
    self.request = request

  def create(self, data):
    mycontent = MyContent()
    mycontent.title = data['title']
    mycontent.user = self.request.principal.id
    return mycontent

Register it as a page in your config file

<page
  for=".content.MyContent"
  name="AddContent.html"
  class=".forms.MyContentAddForm"
  permission="zope.ManageContent" />

Cheers,

Mats
