I was able to find a way to clear the values in all the slots. I created a python script, an external method, and a page template. The script is based on a script located in C:\Zope\Instance\2.9.7\Products\CMFPlone\migrations\v2 called portlet_migration.py by DannyB (ender).
Script: # Based on a script CMFPlone\migrations\v2\portlet_migration.py by DannyB (ender). from Acquisition import aq_base import sys def slotUpdate(self,portal): # traverse all folderish objects and remove all portlets in the right and # left slots # handle current obj first processObject(aq_base(portal)) processFolderish(portal) def processFolderish(folder): for obj in folder.contentValues(): unwrapped = aq_base(obj) # avoid max recursion depth error if unwrapped.isPrincipiaFolderish and \ not unwrapped.meta_type == "CMF Collector": processObject(unwrapped) processFolderish(obj) def processObject(obj): left = getattr(obj, 'left_slots', None) if left: new=renameEntries(left) obj.left_slots=tuple(new) right = getattr(obj, 'right_slots', None) if right: new=renameEntries(right) obj.right_slots=tuple(new) def renameEntries(lines): new=[] return new External Method: Id: em_slot_update Title: Slot Update Module Name: slotUpdate Function Name: slotUpdate Page Template: id:em_slot_update_pt Slot Update All Slots have been updated. To use this: Place the script on the file system at zope\instance\zope version\Extensions I placed mine in C:\zope\instance\2.9.7\Extensions Add the external method object to the Custom folder. Add the Page Template to the Custom folder. Test the page template by clicking on the test tab. You should get a message that all the slots have been cleared. If you look at the portal_migration.py script, you can see how this could be adapted for other usages. I did not check the properties of every folder, but all of those I checked had empty slots if they previously had slots. I hope some one will find this useful. -- View this message in context: http://plone.293351.n2.nabble.com/migrating-portlets-from-2-5-to-3-tp1364193p6190760.html Sent from the Product Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list Product-Developers@lists.plone.org https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
