[Zope-dev] Error Value: name 'portal_types' is not defined

Your best bet is to try asking this on the plone-users list (sourceforge).

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
