I realise I'm being somewhat obtuse about this but where do I set the  
globally_addable property? I've been basing my stuff on the example  
in the Plone book but also on CMFCalendar. My Zope Product gets  
installed with no errors. This is my factory_type_information

factory_type_information = {
     'id': product_id,
     'meta_type': product_name,
     'description': ('Extremely flexible type of article.'),
     'product': product_name,
     'content_icon': 'newsitem.gif',
     'immediate_view': 'view',
     'actions': (
         {'id': 'view',
         'name':'View',
         'action':'flexible_article_view_form',
         'permissions': (view_permission,)},
         {'id': 'edit',
         'name':'Edit',
         'action':'flexible_article_edit_form',
         'permissions': (edit_permission,)},
         )
}

Does the __init__.py need extending?

Thanks
