I've found this snippet in CommentTool?.py inside CPSForum product:
def getParentFolder(proxy):
"""Returns 'Section' or 'Workspace' parent folder."""
parent = proxy.aq_inner.aq_parent
while parent:
if hasattr(parent, 'portal_type') and \
(parent.portal_type == 'Section' or
parent.portal_type == 'Workspace'):
return parent
parent = parent.aq_inner.aq_parent
return proxy.aq_inner.aq_parent
I had some problem with this as I have a new type of folder which type information id is "WorkspaceCustomized?".
In fact, the problem is that when a user tries to add a comment to a document hosted in a WorkspaceCustomized? (where the user has permissions to write), the code above moves to the first instance of "Workspace" (where by chance the user has no permissions to write).
What I propose to improve this code is to add a new attribute to the class, let's say:
parentTypes = ['Section', 'Workspace',] ## This would be the initial value for a CPSDefault Site
and modify the procedure as this:
def getParentFolder(proxy):
"""Returns parent folder."""
parent = proxy.aq_inner.aq_parent
while parent:
if hasattr(parent, 'portal_type') and (parent.portal_type in parentTypes):
return parent
parent = parent.aq_inner.aq_parent
return proxy.aq_inner.aq_parent
I implemented this for my own site, and I thought it would be useful for any site. Is this possible to apply it to the original code?
Even this type information identifiers could be managed from ZMI in portal_discussions, what do you think?
Thanks.
