Matthew,
Sascha,
you probably need to know the concepts of Zope Through-the-web
(TTW) and Filesystem (FS) Product Coding.
Some templates, scripts are in the ZODB and editable via ZMI - the
recommended style for a not so recent Zope version is using FS Zope
Products. Please identify the zope version by using the
ZMI-ControlPanel.
I'm reading up on the TTW and FS stuff. Any articles/pages you
particulary recommend?
http://readthedocs.org/docs/collective-docs/en/latest/
I can't edit anything using the ZMI, when I click on the pages in
'Content' I get the error message.
The version line from the error log is this - 'Zope/(Zope
2.9.4-final, python 2.4.3, linux2) ZServer/1.1 Plone/2.5'
Please compare the way you start the zope instance with the way
your former colleague did it.
I'm not sure what the previous guy did, but I've used the init
script (/etc/init.d/zope start) and the zopectl script in the bin/
in the instance. All methods of starting give the same errors. I
have had to restart zope before now, and I've always used zopectl
and that's worked fine. It's only since the server crashed it's not
worked. I'd only used zopectl fg so I could see what was happening
on startup. Currently the site (www.legulcerforum.org) is started
using the init script.
Identify if you are using a custom developed Zope Product with
templates and a 'main_template' and optionally a 'folder_listing'
Zope Page Template or similar. Find them by searching in the
filesystem ('Products' Folder is one option) and in the ZMI and
tell us the location if you find them.
I don't think it's custom, I've put a list of the Products directory
on pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/cftnjbgZ
I think it's pretty much just plone.
Please go for portal_skins tool in ZMI , identify the current skin
and check that the chosen skin lists several layers. These layers
consist of several FS Directory View belonging to several products
and their skin directories.
If you are using Plone 2.5 use this book. There is also a HTML
version free available in the web.
http://plone.org/documentation/kb/definitive-guide
Consult the chapter about skinning Plone, the 'custom' folder and the
setup of skins and layers.
Thanks for all the links.
I'm not 100% as to exactly which one is the skin that's in use, but
all of the folders in plone_skins do have files and folders in them.
The one that's most likely to be it (called custom and not changed
since 2006, which is when the site was installed). Has all the logos,
a main_template (which looks ok as far as I can tell) and a css file
as well as a base_properties directory.
Now you are scratching below the surface. All folders in plone_skins are
registered FS Directory Views (FSDV). The current plone skin layers a
couple of skin folders to make them available to your Plone Site via
Acquisition at portal root URL. If the 'custom' folder is not listed in
the list of layers of your current skin - Plone probably can not find
the 'main_template' by calling context.main_template(). Usually the
'custom' folder is the topmost layer in a skin - what means that all
resources in there a hiding resources with the same name. This way you
can override the standard main_template ZPT shipped in in plone_skins.
Just another hint. Some run-time made configuration in ZMI is set back
to default when you restart the Zope instance. That's why a backup will
not always restore the a Plone site. That's why it is evil to do that -
because it is not done in code on the file system - and you have to
remember. Welcome to generic-setup stuff.
Please investigate and come back.
By the way - to get more specific support, consider to ask on
'plone-users' mailing list. Check this list as another source of help.
At current state you can provide much detailed information regarding
your error.
Cheers Sscha
Cheers,
Matthew
