Hi all, In the ZMI of a plone site, I get the following error when accessing the 'Elements' tab of the portal_metadata tool: ====== Error Type: NameError Error Value: name 'portal_types' is not defined ====== I have read that this message occurs when you do not access the portal tool from within a CMF site. But isn't a plone site also a CMF site? If this is incorrect, how does one go about accessing the CMF site or interface or whatever? The error log produces the following and any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Stan ====== Exception traceback Time 2003/04/14 14:51:06.500 GMT-10 User Name (User Id) admin (admin) Request URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/portal_metadata/elementPoliciesForm Exception Type NameError Exception Value name 'portal_types' is not defined Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 252, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 283, in _bindAndExec Module App.special_dtml, line 174, in _exec Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Let, line 76, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Let, line 75, in render Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 201, in eval __traceback_info__: portal_types Module <string>, line 0, in ?
