Zope/Plone assistance

Hi all,

It turns out that Pablo, one of the webmaster guys we've recently
brought on board for the digitaldistribution.com website, is skilled
with Zope and Plone.

Are we ok to give him a login to the techdocs virtual machine, so he can
look at fixing the broken Zope/Plone instance there?

:)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

As far as I was aware the Zope/Plone instance has been broken for ages.:


http://techdocs.postgresql.org/v2/Guides/Installation%20Guides/Compiling%20PostgreSQL%207.3.2%20on%20Solaris%208%209/view

For me (and others, because I keep on getting email about it) this
errors out.  Does it work for you?

Just took a bit of time and finally figured out an admin level login for
the port 8080 management interface.  Although I tried some of the
settings, and could see part of the Zope/Plone interface is working, the
whole "Guides" area on techdocs seems totally broken.  From my POV that is.

Does it work for anyone else?

For further information, using the Zope Management Interface, in the
/members directory there's an interesting item listed:

+ portal_form_validation (This object from the CMFPlone product is broken!)

When I clicked on that item it them displayed this error information:

***********

This object is broken because the CMFPlone product that created it is no
longer installed or is installed incorrectly. Please contact the product
maintainer for assistance.

Note that the data associated with this product has not been lost, and
will be accessible again if the product is reinstalled.

***********

Not sure if it helps, but thought it best to mention.  Anyway, I've got
to get back to my main stuff now.

I think the first step in "fixing" this is to get all the docs out of plone
and scrap plone.  I've taken stabs at this in the past but havent gotten past
figuring zope out let alone getting plone working... if pablo can/will do
this I'm all for it.

Makes sense.

Does this mean it's ok to create a login for him?

someone send me a userid / passwd to set the gent up with, baring any
arguments against ... if you send it to me, I'll create the account in the
morning to give anyone a chance to object *shrug*

Of course I'm willing to vouch for him.  He wouldn't have access to any
DDGTS stuff if I didn't trust him.  ;)
