[Zope-CMF] Workflow issue? - or how to customize

[Meilicke, Scott]

No, I didn't do anything with metadata_edit.py.  I took pieces from that
file, and incorporated those into my newsitem_edit.py, attached.  Then I
changed the dtml newsitem_edit_form.dtml to add those properties from the
metadata that I wanted to use, such as subject, effective_date, etc.  

Note: I have replaced in the parameter list 'text' with 'data', to account
for the IE wysiwig editor I'm using.  Then in the script, on the first line,
there is text=data, so the rest of the script works.  You can undo those two
changes to use the regular text box editing that is default with the cmf.

I don't mind the direct mail, although I will be cc'ing the list on this so
others may benefit.

(sorry if this direct mail borrow you...)

First - I want to customize my "news item" entry form.

I supposed that you changed the Python Script "metadata_edit", or you 
create a new one (something like that), and you put some code like:

context.editMetadata( title=title
                         , description=description
                         , subject=subject
                         , contributors=contributors
                         , effective_date=effective_date
                         , expiration_date=expiration_date
                         , format=format
                         , language=language
                         , rights=rights
                         )

and after that something like:

context.edit(text, description)

Is that right? I only need to call this two methods, or Do I need to do 
something different?
