ploneplone-3.x

After a Plone 2.5x to Plone 3.x migration, how do I correct the kss_generic_macros problem?


I get the error below on several views. Which seems identical to what is described here in this other kss_generic_macros post. An answer is supplied, which is "This was caused by the 2.5->3.0 migration process failing to add the plone_kss layer to a handful of our custom skins. When I went in and added plone_kss by hand to those skins, it fixed this."

This is only so helpful. A code sample or a real pointer as to where you add plone_kss would make this much easier to solve.

Solution

  • Log into the ZMI then go to the portal_skins tool. Now click on the "properties" tab. The "Plone Default" skin should look something like this:

    custom
    cmfeditions_views
    CMFEditions
    ChangeSet
    kupu_plone
    kupu
    kupu_tests
    archetypes
    archetypes_kss
    mimetypes_icons
    plone_kss
    ATContentTypes
    ATReferenceBrowserWidget
    ResourceRegistries
    PasswordReset
    gruf
    plone_ecmascript
    plone_wysiwyg
    plone_prefs
    plone_portlets
    plone_templates
    plone_styles
    plone_form_scripts
    plone_scripts
    plone_forms
    plone_images
    plone_content
    plone_login
    plone_deprecated
    plone_3rdParty
    cmf_legacy
    

    If you are missing any of those you'll need to add them in. That should solve the issue.
