So 'methods' is BBB code for constructors.
That depends on how you read the above. I'd say "methods" isn't
deprecated ;-)
(or, put differently, how do you provide functions needed by an "add"
template? Squishdot has a need for this in obtaining a list of the
available MailHosts)
If these functions are only required by a specific template there is no
need to add them to the global context. You can wrap the add form in a
method and pass the functions (or better the result of the functions) as
argument to the template. CMF's addConfiguredSiteForm does that e.g.:
http://svn.zope.org/CMF/trunk/CMFDefault/factory.py?rev=68622&view=auto
If the container allows to use views (by default that is not the case
for generic Folders in Zope 2.9) there is a better solution: Use a Five
view and add the functions to your view class. The ZCML version of
registerClass allows to specify a Five view as add form.
Cheers,
Yuppie
