Plone: adding an event
I need to get a simple calendar going. I thought it would be easy to install Plone and allow users to create events. It's not. I can add events, but when I try to submit an edit (even the initial one), I get an AttributeError on "form". Any advice? I thought this would work "out of the box." Some guidance would be great. I could really use some hand holding getting started. I'm willing to pay a little for the help. Please let me know if you're interested. Thank you. --kyler

It should, and this suggests a mismatch or other broken-ness. If you can send the traceback (from error_log) maybe we can diagnose a little better. Along with versions of your OS, Zope, Python, CMF, and Plone. One short-circuit with strange symptoms is a CMF/Plone mismatch: Plone 1.0.x requires CMF 1.3.x, and will not work with CMF 1.4.x. There are others. --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."

This problem comes up every few weeks. The admins refuse to acknowledge that the correct behavior for replying to a message on the list is to reply back to the list. Instead, they cling to some purist position about "munging" Reply-to: headers, even though that results in a default behavior that is incorrect: clicking "Reply" in most email clients only replies to the sender (off-list), while "Reply All" replies to the sender, to the list, and to anyone else CC'd on the post. Neither behavior is correct. I've debated this in the past here, and the admins seem pretty resistant to making things work to the benefit of the subscribers. They prefer to remain true to some purist position even at the cost of making the list inefficient and unwieldy.

I really don't care. Because of the state of the 'reply-to' on the list, and because sometimes folks aren't on (or watching) the list, I eventually decided to use 'Reply All'. I realize it may be mildly inconvenient to whomever asked the question, but it's a reasonable default policy, I think, and I see a lot of people here doing that.

Thank you!
An excellent error report, but I'm afraid I can't figure out what the heck's going on. I don't know why the 'form' attribute does not exist. (In fact, I can't even figure out where it's supposed to be set, which is part of the problem.) Does anything else work? There's a newer version of Formulator out (1.4.1, I think) so maybe you can try that. You may also want to re-create your Plone instance in case something got screwed up. After that, you might try this on the Plone list. Maybe whoever wrote that could have an idea. (It's probably either runyaga or plonista by SourceForge id.) --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)

Ah ha! That's just what I needed to hear. I should have caught it sooner, but I went back to this instance's Products directory and found that it had its own Formulator product. I removed it, restarted, and it seems to work now. Thank you! --kyler
