Be careful while naming fields

Note that there are some names that seem to be 'reserved' in Plone. A couple that I've encountered are 'role' and 'manager'. If you use these in your content types (as portal_type or name of a property) you will get strange errors that tell you nothing about the name collision.
So to avoid problems, use the java-style naming convention. Instead of calling a portal_type 'role', call it 'com.mycompany.role'. Instead of calling a property 'manager', give it a longer name like 'mycompanyManager' or something.
Same goes for searching with portal_catalog. Don't use portal_type to search but rather search for objects that implement a certain interface, etc.

As stated by jensens on #plone:
normally content_icon is 16x16 gif or png
I'm adding this here so I can find it if I forget. Google searches previously turned up nothing useful.

"Add comment" for the product
But I didn't get how to enable discussions for such a product (like "instant message"). I played around with it, but I could not figure out how to get this "Add comment" button for such instant message objects, although I enabled "allow discussion" for the objects...
