Comment on Using five.grok views as default views by dukebody

The expression self.__of__(context) should wrap self into context and return the corresponding acquisition wrapper, so returning just self looks wrong, as Martin says.

I remember getting a similar error message when trying to use a DynamicViewFTI with an Archetypes BaseObject (instead of an ATContentTypes derived one), and solved it switching to a simple (without Dynamic View) FTI.

Hi Martin, I didn’t say it sounds right, I said it works
You are right partly. Under “normal” circumstances the default view mechanisms works perfectly. It breaks in CMFFormController-situations (like used in PloneFormGen):

2010-06-09 12:02:56 ERROR Zope.SiteErrorLog 1276077776.750.476325939178 http://localhost:8080/Plone/form/fg_base_view_p3 Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 127, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 77, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 47, in call_object Module Products.CMFFormController.FSControllerPageTemplate, line 91, in __call__ Module Products.CMFFormController.BaseControllerPageTemplate, line 28, in _call Module Products.CMFFormController.ControllerBase, line 231, in getNext Module Products.CMFFormController.Actions.TraverseTo, line 38, in __call__ Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 77, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 47, in call_object Module Products.CMFDynamicViewFTI.browserdefault, line 78, in __call__ AttributeError: 'MyDefaultGrokView' object has no attribute '__of__'

BTW The affected product versions are Plone 4.0b4 with PFG 1.6.0b3 and five.grok 1.1.1.

This doesn’t sound right. We’re using such views as default views all the time, and we don’t need those methods.

If they are required in any particular circumstance, that would be a bug in CMFDynamicViewFTI. Perhaps you can explain what problem you were having?

Comment on Minifying JavaScript and CSS with buildout by Tom

Hi Jon, there are two good reasons, why the HOWTO still makes sense for TinyMCE:

The compression of the js-registry (even the safe one) doesn’t work for the TinyMCE libraries
The many! plugins used by TinyMCE are not included with the js-registry. (The loading of these is not shown in the screenshots.)

Did you just try turning on Plone’s built-in JS/CSS compression for the TinyMCE scripts? (I haven’t looked, but I think they may be disabled by default.) I doubt they’re quite as efficient as mini-fication, but I bet it’s really, really close.

Comment on Migrating to Plone 4. Part 1 by Tom

@Hanno: I don’t have collective.dist installed. I use a plain Python with setuptools. The option is documented on the setuptools page http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#upload-upload-source-and-or-egg-distributions-to-pypi

Thank you for documenting this. I’m eager to see future installments.

Waiting for stable upgraded versions of the add-ons was my greatest delay moving from 2.5 to 3.x and I would love to get to Plone 4.x sooner than later. Unfortunately I can only ‘hope and pray’ that the add-on products get upgraded soon (since usually I don’t have the time or the skills to do it myself).
