[Zope-dev] Zope 2.7.0 b3 regressions

2003-12-03 Thread Yuppie
Hi! Migrating a CMF Site from Zope 2.6 to Zope 2.7.0 b3, I stumbled over these two Zope 2.7 issues: 1.) absolute_url(relative=1) behaves different -- 'relative' was changed from 'relative to site object' to 'relative to server root'. This is an API

Eep. Maybe CMF's overridden catalog should just be given a reindexIndex method instead of doing a capability check in Zope? More broadly, is it worth embedding the capabilities check (which can never, ever go away) into Zope itself or would it be better to change CMF to deal with the API change?

Yuppie! No, no and 3 times no! The fix was done by Evan and is CORRECT. absolute_url () does not (and should not!) know anything about CMF or portals or whatever else! It MUST however return correct results in all possible VH situations and this is what the fix addresses. Please forget about

If you need anything CMF specific use the portal_url tool. I do not see why a basic infrastructure method like absolute_url() should know anything about portals at all. I have to admit I did not look deeply, but Stefan's notion that absolute_url is a basic infrastructure method that should not

Please excuse my impatiance, but sometimes I just think it's obvious that I'm right, and that people don't listen. My experience of this is that I'm wrong in at least half of the cases, so that is probably what has happened now too. However, I took a look at the issue, and ended up with the
