[Zope-CMF] Repurposing content: Need to add navigation properties as well?

[Jean Lagarde]

Started to play with CMF(Plone) as a possible tool for our organization 
(BTW, another option we are considering is Website Director Pro, of 
which I know nothing of; anybody who knows both could provide a quick 
comparison of features?).

Made some good progress customizing Plone to my taste, but now I am 
stuck following the "repurposingContent" example given on plone.org. The 
problem is that on attempting to save from the edit form for the new 
type I have created, I get a traceback that seems to be caused by 
getNextRequestFor returning an empty string as the next action (see 
below for traceback). In looking around, I get the impression that new 
navigation transitions must be created for the new type (i.e. 
document.newtype_edit.success -> action:view), something that isn't 
mentionned in the example walkthrough. However, I haven't so far been 
able to make this work. Portal_properties/navigation_properties seemed 
like what I was looking for, but that form doesn't allow me to edit it. 
Then I found portal_skins/plone_scripts/form_scripts, which I customized 
to add the transition I seemed to need, but I still get the same 
traceback. At this point I'm left scratching my head and hoping that 
someone can give me a clue...

Cheers,

Jean
