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

[Jean Lagarde]

Hmm, well at least I solved my problem, adding the required transitions 
by calling the addTransitionFor method of the navigation tool from a 
Python script (kept on getting authorization errors when trying to add 
the properties directly through the ZMI). I guess in a product, that can 
be done as part of product initialization, but since I was trying to 
follow the repurposing content example, I had to do it by hand.

My attempt at customizing the navigation_properties in plone_script did 
not seem to do anything, so I have removed that customization.

Should there have been an easier way to make that example work?

Cheers,

Jean
