#9: Plone 2.1 Compatibility

Several users have reported problems with getting CMFQuestions to work with Plone 2.1.

I will need to install Plone 2.1 probably on a windows machine because it seems that this is where the problem lies. Then go in and try and fix the code to get it to work with Plone 2.1. Some of the errors already reported are.

Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

AttributeError

I installed a clean version of Plone2.1 on Mac OS X using the installer and CMFQuestions0.4 seems to work with no problems. The error outlined below is one that also applies to other versions of plone, it happens when you don't have any answer options.

Hi Adam

With some trial and error I got this working as below. Great to be
able to use the product on 2.1. I like it a lot. By the way, when you
say that security needs to be improved, what do you mean by that? Also
if you wanted to gather an email address and also a phone number is
there any way these could be validated as such instead of as just
plain text?

Thanks

Hi

I've been doing some trial and error on this using Pedro Silva's fix
for this on Plone 2.1. I tried both his code changes but got
CMFQuestions working on Windows 2.1 Python 2.3.5 Zope 2.7.7 with only
this code change. If you don't do this you get an Index out of range
error. If you change Questionnaire.py as well then you get an
attributeErrror. Just changing this line works fine. I haven't tried
this on my Unix version yet

file: questionnaire_view.pt
change: <div class="field" tal:define="hasOptions python:
len(question.getAnswerOptions()[0]) > 0">
to: <div class="field" tal:define="hasOptions python:
len(question.getAnswerOptions()) > 0">
