[Zope-CMF] Re: Problems installing type into portal

[Anton Hughes]

Thanks Raphael,

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) when I 
came back to the portal the next day, the type was properly registered 
(maybe due to Zope's undocumented self-repair engine? Wolverine.py?). 
So I didn't get a chance to try this code out :( I'm sure it will come 
in handy further down the track.

Cheers,

Anton
