[Erp5-base18]Fwd: erp5/Base18/Extensions/MigrateContent.py?rev=1.5 and CMF-1.3

[Jean-Paul Smets]

FYI, Here is a nice email I received from Peter Funk last week. I just saw 
that Peter is on the list. I would like to thank him a lot for trying and 
making the patch.

Regarding the future of Base18
        - it is and will be developed (I have 7 sites using it...)
        - I am currently migrating it to Page Templates
        - I will include the latest of Localizer into it

After that, someone (me?) should some day
        - improve the translation / translation workflow interface
        - improve the management of available translations (portal_translations)
        - improve the integreation with KBabel
        - put some icon in the texts so that people are incited to translate 
text
        - add some kind of automatic translation (linked to Babelfish)

DO you think there is some need for a Wiki ? (I would put it on the ERP5 
site www.erp5.org so that the content is garanteed to be GPDL 
http://www.gpdl.org)

Here are the news

JPS.

Hi Jean-Paul Smets,

yesterday I stumbled over your exciting work (the Base18 product for Zope)
and downloaded it to play around with it.

I've tried it here on my notebook together with Zope-2.5.1 and
 CMF-1.3beta1.

Due to this I noticed a API change in CMF which affects the operation of
    erp5/Base18/Extensions/MigrateContent.py
The API of the method manage_addTypeInformation() of the class TypesTool
has changed between CMF-1.2 and CMF-1.3: This method now has another
formal parameter called 'add_meta_type', which (as far as my very limited
understanding of CMF goes :-( ) should be
 'FactoryTypeInformation.meta_type' from CMFCore/TypesTool.py itself. 
 Don't ask me why.

To get around my problem I hacked the following patch into 'Base18'.
Please have a look at it:

With this patch the external method 'migrate_content' works successfully.
