[Zope-PTK] New PortalContent procedure and other Qs

Any work on when this will be available (a basic guide to the required
stuff for adding a new user-addable protal content object)? I have quite
a few things I'd like to implement. :) I don't neccesarily need a ful
out howto, but alist of things to be done 9and where) would go a _long_
way.

I noticed that (at least in the demoportal) there is no option for a
user to delete any of his/her content. Does PTKBase have the hooks for
this, and it is just not implemented in the demo?

In the meantime, I have turned my attention to other Protal activities,
such as versions of ZDiscussions and KnowledgeKit that are PTK aware
(minor changes really), and overall PTK thoughts.

Ok, I have setup my new Portal object and it seems to be working just
fine.

(BTW - I created it by Making a new wizard in my Portal, copying
Document wizard, don't forget properties!.
went into PTKBase, copied Document.py to a Listing.py, changing for my
own purposes.
went into __init.py__ and added reference to my class)

Anyways to my philosophical question, I would like my product to be
able to contain
other objects (specifically I have two lists that I want) should I:

1. create two list attributes in my class and manage addition/deletion
(I get into trouble here trying to figure out where to intercept
Image.manage_add)
2. create two Folder attributes in my class
(I prefer this but have problems trying to decide where or how I
am going to do the
management screen for this and how I am going to present this
to the user/owner
since the default behavior is to render (as in view) the portal
object with a toolbox menu
on the side) (hold on I just had a thought ... IGBTYOTL)
3. Make my class a Folderish object and sort out the lists later
(seems a little ugly - since I have objects and all . . .)

I had done this but it wasn't showing up in the wizards screen.
I just went back to look at it, seems I forgot to fill in the properties
sheet.
DOH!

Bill - Yep, went through that cycle a few times too.
Zope-PTK - decided on approach 2 (see previous message)
Using Folder class as attribute made it easy to implement.
(i.e. reimplemented main.dtml to suit my purpose) and I was done
Yippee!
