[Zope] CMF Folder Types was InvokeFactory Question

[David Pratt]

Thanks Robert.  I am working in CMF. Sometimes you need someone to 
point out the obvious.   I guess I grabbed the wrong folder type when I 
made the information folder in the first place in the ZMI.  I did not 
get any feedback from the ZMI that there was anything wrong.  I always 
start with view templates first. I put a number of Portal Folder items 
into the information folder (a plain Folder type as it turned out) in 
the first place so I would have some items to create my view template 
before going on to others.

I makes me wonder how a Portal Folder can be made inside a plain Folder 
in the ZMI and not throw an exception, yet to do it programatically 
facilitates an unpredictable behavior.  Perhaps a TypeError exception 
should have been raised in both circumstances when there was an attempt 
to place a Portal Folder type inside a plain Folder.  Are there 
circumstances that you can think of where you would want Portal Folders 
to be allowed inside plain Folders in CMF.  Is this a bug?

Regards
David
