Yes, it's caused by the initial workflow state for 'Software Release
File' or whatever it is called being set to 'private'. That's what was
agreed on during the initial development. It's supposed to be trivial
to change it for someone with minimal DCWorkflow skills.

I'm surprised that if it causes so much pain that nobody has fixed it
yet.


Yes, well, Sidnei, as someone who should really have known how that 
software was setup, you could have taken the half hour needed to fix 
this damn problem.


Anyway, upshot is that, after reading the disk-based software, laughing, 
and then crying, I've employed two large tal:on-error hammers to make 
this rediculous problem go away.


custom/swpackage_view
custom/swpackage_releases

..both have tal:on-error="nothing" in strategic places which should just 
hide releases which have problems.


Admittedly, this hides a load of potential other problems, but no-one 
really cares, right? ;-)


Anyway, I'm going to go and beat some walls down with my head. Hope the

I don't think that's a CMF 'feature', unless the product is using
'contentValues()' which is part of the CMF API.

I'm sure that's an easy fix.

2005-10-19 Thread Jim Fulton

We think we understand the problem now.

It is cache related.

We've changed the caching policy so that the pages in question aren't cached.

The problem ocurred because:

- The product product has the *insane* policy that if any files aren't
  published, the entire product is inaccessible.

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a knob for this somewhere in
  CMF?

- Tim uploaded a windows exe.

- before he could change it's state, someone tried to access the product
  and got redirected to a login form.  This got cached somehow.

If we decode we do want to cache these pages, we may want a policy that
a release should not be announced until all of the files have been uploaded.
Alternatively, a number of people need to know how to reset the cache.

Andrew will have more to say about the caching issues.

I've revered the products page to be the way it was before.

I retract my proposal to make this static -- for now.
