[Zope-dev] Add list name programmatically

[Jason Spisak]

Actually that is the meta_type.  meta_type is can be different than add
list name.  I believe the add name is set in the Factory for a given
object.  I would like to retreive that name for the meta_type.  The reason
for this is that meta_types have to be unique accross a Zope installation,
so if you have 2 products that use a "Company" class, then the meta_types
have to be different.  I remember someone reccomending good design that you
prefix the meta_type with a product name to keep bad things fom happening
if two are identical.  Like 'ZStuff_Company', and 'ZMaker_Company', can
then be in the same installation, whereas if they both contained a
meta_type called 'Company', they could not be installed in the same Zope
without crashing it.

I'd like to be able to access a more 'user recognizable' name for a
meta_type, and as far as I can tell 'add list name' it the best choice.

All my best,
