Migrating Plone from 2.0.5 to 2.1.x - sharing tab

Posted at 3:58pm on Thursday, February 16th, 2006

My plan for this is to move all my Zope and Plone related posts to a new blog (written in TurboGears no less) very soon, but until I do…

If you have just migrated from Plone 2.0.5 to Plone 2.1.x and now have the rather odd effect that the ’sharing’ tab on your ATContentTypes content items is raising a 404 not found you need to do the following:

In the ZMI:

  • Select portal_types
  • Select the aliases tab
  • Go to the bottom of the screen and click save changes

And lo! your sharing tabs work again. Plone 2.0.5 uses CMF 1.4.7, and the concept of aliases were introduced in CMF 1.5 (Plone 2.1.x uses CMF 1.5.5). The ATContentTypes in Plone 2.1.x assume aliases exist, yet they are actually set up and managed in CMF, meaning that they don’t migrate correctly without being manually poked.
