I ended up using:
container= context
container.invokeFactory(type_name='Topic',id=id)
mytopic = context[id]
and then configuring from there.
The following tutorials/examples ended up being very helpful:
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/add-content-programmatically
http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/PressRoom/tags/3.1/content/PressRoom.py
Thanks Jon and JeanMichel for the help!

Hi Brayton,
createObject return the id of the object created or raise an
exception.
You need to traverse to it:
mytopic = context.restrictedTraverse(id) or sth like this (get,
unrestricted, ....)
You also can use event handler or there is a PythonScript called to
create
content on registration time, i can't remember the name of this one;

Hi,
I'm trying to automatically create Collections for each user that I
register. I haven't quite been able to figure out how to do this.
If I add the following code to the end of my register.cpy:
context.portal_factory.createObject(id='collection_for_'+username,
type_name='Topic')
it takes me to the TTW Collection creation page, but this isn't
really
what I want.
Alternatively I've tried calling another script from register.cpy
where I have the following:
##Python Script (addCollection)
##parameters=user=None
pf = context.portal_factory
member = pm.getMemberById(user)
id='collection_for_'+member
mytopic = pf.createObject(id=id,type_name='Topic')
mytopic.addIndex(friendlyName='Collection for '+fullname,
description='Automatically refreshing folder with all content tagged
for '+fullname, enabled='True', criteria='user')
pf.doCreate(mytopic,id)
return mytopic
This gives me the following error:
Exception Type AttributeError
Exception Value 'str' object has no attribute 'addIndex'
which implies that mytopic was created as a string, not a collection.
Any ideas on how I might fix this, or if it's even possible to do
what
I'm trying?
Thanks very much,
Brayton
