I never use add forms on top of a IAdding form. I also never use the folder contraints for this. The lookup methods for get items based on the constraints are to slow. I simply register viewlets on containers which will generate add form links. The add form itself is registred for the container and will add the them. there is no need for the complex and slow IAdding view pattern. The newest improvments on this is that there is a provides attribute in the pagelet directive. This allows you to provide e.g. IAddForm for a pagelet. Such pagelet can you get from the adapter registry. This means the add form is registred with the container as a part of the adapter registry discriminator. This is the fastest way for get add forms. See: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.website/trunk/src/z3c/website/tool/adding. py Right now that's restricted to the z3c:pagelet pattern. I guess I have to write new addform and editform directives for the new z3c.form package, which whould make it possible to use the same pattern for pages instead of pagelets. PS, we just use pagelets and not pages anymore in our projects. They are much more flexible and offer macro less html.
