Creating zope content
I had a need to create new external methods on install of a product. So, even if technique is old and well know to any Zope 2 old-timer, I'm placing this here for my own reference.
def install(portal):
portal.manage_addProduct['ExternalMethod'].manage_addExternalMethod(
id = 'emailMe',
title='emailMe',
module='MyProduct.emailMe',
function='emailMe')
The code needs to interact with a legacy module (renamed here emailMe). The idea is that manage_addProduct returns a dictionary of factories and manage_addExternalMethod is the factory method defined in the ExternalMethod module. Most of the old style Zope content can be added this way.
