I'm in the process of learning how to customize
our Plone 2.1.x installation.
I apologize if the following question is a basic one,
however I've tried a number of things over the last
hour to no avail.
Currently, regular members do not have "smart folders"
available as an addable type when attempting to add a
new item to their "My Folder" area.
I've tried the following:
1. ZMI -> portal_types -> Topics -> Implicitly Addable
No difference. Smart Folders still not available as
an addable type when adding an item to a folder.
2. ZMI -> portal_types -> Folder
Under "Allowed Content Types", I selected ALL of them
(including Topics) and checked Filter Content Types.
After doing so, the "add item" menu for folders now
includes quite a few options, however smart folders
are still NOT available as an addable item.
3. While logged in as a regular member, under "My Folder",
select Add Item -> Settings.
However, Smart Folders are NOT listed under Addable Types,
so there is no point in changing the mode from "Use Portal
Default" to "Select Manually".
So, I guess my question here is: How can I enable Smart Folders
as an addable type to the portal default?
I was fairly sure that Item #1 above would do it, but it did
not.
Do I need to set some additional permissions for 'Topic' under
portal_types? Does this have something to do with "Add Portal
Content" permissions?
As a side note, when I log into Plone under the admin account,
"smart folders" is indeed available as an addable type.
But NOT when I log in as a regular member account.
So what I'm trying to figure out is how to allow regular members
to add smart folders.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I'm really in the first
stage of learning the internals of Plone, and so I also thank you
in advance for your patience.
