<br />
<br />I have never done it with the addform approach but it is very easily done with formlib.
<br />
<br />class MyContentAddForm(form.AddForm):
<br /> form_fields = form.Fields(IMyContent)
<br />
<br /> def __init__(self, context, request):
<br /> self.context = context
<br /> self.request = request
<br />
<br /> def create(self, data):
<br /> mycontent = MyContent()
<br /> mycontent.title = data['title']
<br /> mycontent.user = self.request.principal.id
<br /> return mycontent
<br />
<br />Register it as a page in your config file
<br />
<br /><page
<br /> for=".content.MyContent"
<br /> name="AddContent.html"
<br /> class=".forms.MyContentAddForm"
<br /> permission="zope.ManageContent" />
<br />
<br />
<br />Cheers,
<br />
<br />Mats
