Thanks

As you pointed out the portal_navigation error was from a third party product CMFExternalFile, when I uninstall this product I can add content. However CMFExternalFile does not seem to have changed since Nov 2003 so there is no newer verson to install. Is there an alternative product one should be using to store external files. I understood (maybe Incorrectly) that CMFExternalFile was a commonly used product for storing external files and now it seems to nolonger work with plone2.1


Thanks
Steve

PS: I apologise, I also broke the thread by relying directly to Alexander's first email, I have attached below my first reply back and his response.

Sorry, search for portal_form_controller on that page.

portal_navigation does not exist in Plone 2.1, however - so it sounds like you have a customized template or third-party product that fails.

PS: keep mails on the setup list.

Hi Alexander

Thank you for your response, I did find in the achives reference to my first problem with the Members folder and it correction in the upcomming release. As for the second issue regarding not being able to add new content after migrating to 2.1 due to the portal_navigation error, you referred me to your 2.1 migration guide which I did read several times, but I cannot seem to find the information your refer to for my problem. There is no reference to "portal_navigation" that I could find. There is discussion regarding the new navigation setup and how to turn it off and tune it to ones needs. But I have not been able to find the information to solve my problem. Can you point me a little closer to the information you refer to.

Once again thank you for you time
Steve
