hi there,
i'm developing a product agains the current plone 3.0 bundle and want
to convert the base class of an existing AT-based content type from
BaseFolder to ATBTreeFolder because it will need to hold several
thousand objects.
i did this by simply replacing `BaseFolder` with `ATBTreeFolder` in
the class like so:
{{{
-from Products.Archetypes.atapi import BaseFolderSchema, BaseFolder
+from Products.ATContentTypes.content.folder import ATBTreeFolder
+from Products.ATContentTypes.content.folder import ATBTreeFolderSchema
[...]
-Country_schema = BaseFolderSchema.copy() + \
+Country_schema = ATBTreeFolderSchema.copy() + \
schema.copy()
[...]
-class Country(BaseFolder):
+class Country(ATCTBTreeFolder):
"""
"""
security = ClassSecurityInfo()
- __implements__ = (getattr(BaseFolder,'__implements__',()),)
+ __implements__ = (getattr(ATCTBTreeFolder,'__implements__',()),)
}}}
however, now i get an `AttributeError: getAvailableViewMethods` when
attempting to access its base view or `folder_contents`.
i found this thread on plone.org [1] where alec mitchell mentions:
>>> The issue is that the UI for Folders in plone 2.1 expects the
folders to use the CMFDynamicViewFTI which provides some methods
which are unavailable on the Scriptable FTI in use here. The
workaround would be to use a folder type which does not implement the
BrowserDefaultMixin as the basis for your Scriptable FTI.
other than that i got nothing... any ideas? it's fairly imperative
that i get this type converted because soon the first data will be
entered into the production site and i know from experience that it's
not possible to switch the baseclass for existing content w/o
actually recreating it (which would be quite a hassle...)
any pointers are greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!
cheers,
tom
