I wanted to collect in one form all the information needed to create a 
folder, an index.html page template and custom menu in one go. I found 
this worked very well in Zope 2.

There is a custom form, and its support class contains just a nextURL 
function. I just found that a convenient location to create the 
additional objects in the folder. It all works nicely as required. There 
may be a better way to do it - and I am open to suggestions as I am 
relatively new to Zope 3 too. My example can seen and downloaded from:

although I accidentally introduced some bugs and have not uploaded the 
latest version yet.
