[Zope-CMF] Problem adding CMF Topics with quickinstaller

[matt.bartolome at uniontrib.com]

Still stuggling with this one...I used the code you directed me too. I still
get the same behavior. The CMF Topic doesn't recognize the friendly date
criteria (on the expires attribute of my objects) until I click "save" under
the topic's "criteria" in the Plone Interface. I'm adding an "Integer
Criterion" in the same place in the code and it works fine. So I guess I
need to figure out what happens when you click "save"?

def install(self):
    out = StringIO()
    portalroot = getattr(self, 'classifieds')
    
    for topicid in TOPIC_MAPPINGS.keys():
        id = str(topicid[0]) + '-' + str(topicid[1])
        
        portalroot.invokeFactory('Topic',id,title=TOPIC_MAPPINGS[topicid])
        
        topic_o = getattr(portalroot,id)
        
        field = 'Section'
        field2 = 'expires'
        
        criterion_type = 'Integer Criterion'
        criterion_type2 = 'Friendly Date Criterion'
        
        topic_o.addCriterion(field=field, criterion_type=criterion_type)
        topic_o.addCriterion(field=field2, criterion_type=criterion_type2)
                 
        criteria_o = getattr(topic_o,'crit__Section')
        range = str(topicid[0] - 1) + ' ' + str(topicid[1] + 1)
        criteria_o.edit(range,direction='min:max')
        
        datecriteria_o = getattr(topic_o,'crit__expires')
        datecriteria_o.edit(operation='min',daterange='ahead')        
    installTypes(self, out,
                 listTypes(PROJECTNAME),
                 PROJECTNAME)

    install_subskin(self, out, GLOBALS)
    get_transaction().commit()
    print >> out, "Successfully installed %s." % PROJECTNAME
    return out.getvalue()

Did you solve this in the meantime?

If not, you might want to look at
http://www.neuroinf.de/LabTools/ScriptingCMF-0_1.tgz/view
and there in particular at the source of 'ScriptSite.py'.
It generates and configures (among other things) a topic
from the script which works right away. Maybe you can
find out where it differs from your approach?
