#1 — Problems upgrading qPloneSkinSchools to version 3.3

Posted by Andriy Mylenkyy at September 18. 2009 at TalkQuintagroup Forum:

You can wait for bugfix release of the theme or may make following steps by hand:

    * Remove portlets, used by schools theme by hand, (which you not needed yet):

          o In the plone root: <portal url>/manage-portlets

                + remove the following portlets from the right column:

                      # news
                      # events
                      # calendar
                      # recent
                      # review

                + remove the following portlets from the left column:

                      # navigation
                      # classic portlet wich use portlet_links page template. MUST REMOVE
                      # login



    * in portal_setup/mange_importSteps, select "Extension profile for UNINSTALL qPloneSkinSchools." from import "Select Profile or Snapshot" select box.
    * Than select following "Available Import Steps":

          o Skins Tool
          o Stylesheet registry
          o Remove qPloneSkinSchools properties

    * Push "Import selected steps" button

Regards.

Thanks,

I tried doing what you suggest. When I get to the "Import selected steps" I get the same error as the beginning... if one unchecks "include Dependencies?" the import completes ok. However, if I try to import the new version now I get:

    * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object
    * Module Products.GenericSetup.tool, line 581, in manage_importSelectedSteps
    * Module Products.GenericSetup.tool, line 347, in runImportStepFromProfile
    * Module Products.GenericSetup.tool, line 1093, in _doRunImportStep

      __traceback_info__: qPloneSkinSchools_uninstallPortlets
    * Module Products.qPloneSkinSchools.uninstallhandlers, line 45, in uninstallPortlets


AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getProperty'

So I had to backtrack.

To install new (qPloneSkinSchools-3.3) version, you should use portal_setup tool - not portal_quickinstaller.

   1. in portal_setup/mange_importSteps, select "qPloneSkinSchools" from "Select Profile or Snapshot" select box and push "Import all steps" button in the bottom of the page.
   2. select "qPloneSkinSchools:zexps" from "Select Profile or Snapshot" select box and push "Import all steps" button in the bottom of the page.

Then in portal_quickinstaller/manage_installProductsForm page you should see, that Version at Install time equals to
Product version (this mean, that you successfully upgraded the theme).
