CMF 1.2: Known Issues

Overview

This document describes known issues with the release of the Content Management Framework (CMF), version 1.2. For more information on the CMF, please see the website.

Issue: 'CMFDecor'-based skins lost in upgrade to CMF 1.2

When migrating a site to 1.2 from CMF, where the skin directories from the CMFDecor product had been installed, such directories are no longer present (the product has been merged into CMFDefault).

See the tracker issue

Workaround

  1. Create an ExternalMethod in the root of your CMF site using the following properties:
    Id
    upgrade_decor_skins
    Title
    Upgrade CMFDecor Skin Directories
    Module Name
    CMFDefault.Upgrade
    Function Name
    upgrade_decor_skins
  2. Run this method by clicking on its "Test" tab.

Issue: Content constructor methods interface change

The CMF used to require that factory methods for content instances return the URL of the "initial view" of the new object; since August 2001, the interface has changed to require that the method return the new object directly, wrapped in its container. This change will most likely affect ZClass-based content using the default DTML factory methods.

Fix

  • Update all such methods to return the new object. This update may be done more simply by replacing the generated DTMLMethod used for ZClass construction with an equivalent PythonScript.
