You introduced that concept in Zope 2.7. The method docstring is part of your change. Before Zope 2.7, absolute_url was defined different, worked different and was used different in products maintained by ZC. [snip] I don't think the old API was better. I'm just saying that you changed the API in a way that is not backwards compatible. I encountered the problem with a plain new CMF Site.
Gotcha. Grepping Zope's source and the Products I had to hand showed only one use of absolute_url(1), in Draft.py, so I hoped that making the implementation sane wouldn't affect too much. Looking at the 1.4 branch of CMF, I see it in three places: 1. DiscussionTool.py uses it when looking up replies. This looks like a non-issue for new or properly converted discussions in 1.4. 2. SkinsTool.py uses it to construct skin cookies. 3. Any caller of URLTool that passes 'relative=1' to it. I can only find one of these, namely getIcon() in DynamicType.py. Is #3 likely to be the cause of the problem you're seeing? Can you be more specific about the circumstances of the problem? Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
