[Zope-dev] Object to string

[Jason Spisak]

Maybe their's something wrong with my Zope, but I can't get the
manage_addFolder to work by itself, let alone with properties from a
root folder. Odd.  It try this code:

<!--# call "manage_addFolder(unique_id,unique_id,0,0,REQUEST)"-->

This should create a folder at that level of the hirearchy with id of
'unique_id', but instead I get this traceback--


<!--

Can I not give the name 'unique_id' to a new folder?
