[Zope] [ZClass]User Form to add an Instance of one ZClass to an instance of another ZClass of another ZClass

[Farrell, Troy]

Hello all-

Being new to ZClasses, I'm having some difficulties.
I have a ZClass NetShowLogFile.  I can add this to normal Folder Objects
through the management interface.
I have a second ZClass StreamingEvent.  I would like an user to be able to
add a NetShowLogFile to an existing Folder Object logs inside
StreamingEvent.

StreamingEvent
 L__logs (folder object)
 L__newNetShowLogFile (DTML method)
 L__newNetShowLogFileForm (DTML method)

If I have a BigEvent StreamingEvent and a user goes to:
http://localhost/BigEvent/newNetShowLogFileForm
They get a form where they upload a log file through a <form
action="newNetShowLogFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
If newNetShowLogFile only says:
<dtml-var REQUEST>
none of the form variables are passed by NS6.

1)Netscape 6 (WINNT 4) is not passing REQUEST properly when the form enctype
is multipart/form-data.  Anybody else seen this?  IE5.5 seems to get it
okay.

Next:

newNetShowLogFile looks like this:
<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('id')">
  <dtml-with logs>
    <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['NetShowLogFile']">
      <dtml-var "NetShowLogFile_add(_.None, _, REQUEST)">
    </dtml-with>
  </dtml-with>
<dtml-else>
  Netscape lost the REQUEST again.
</dtml-if>

This calls NetShowLogFile_add in the same way the management UI does.
However, IE  is not able to do the <dtml-call
"propertysheets.NetShowLogFileProperties.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">.
I keep getting the error that I am unauthorized to access
manage_editProperties. I don't know which permissions I need to adjust on
the ZClass.

Thanks for reading my long email.  In case you are curious, I am writing a
Zope/Python-based streaming media log file analyzer.
