SNN Author Cannot request publication date

[mallow]

I created an author and it seems that with an author account he is unable to request publication of an article instead when I click on 'Status' I receive this error:
ystem problem

Something went wrong. Please use your back button to return to the previous page. Sorry for the irritation.

I upgraded the account to editor and he sees it fine, except he approves publishing directly
I then Downgraded his account back to author and again to no avail.
I did not test other roles yet.

Found that if you are in the content area you can click publish and then enter a date so on and so forth and you can click publish, once you do that you can click to see details but if you attempt to edit the note to the editor the error persists.

I have the same problem with Silva 2.0 and SNN 2.5. Author can not enter Status page, which produces the above mentioned error. I'm using LDAPuserfolder authentication, if it makes any difference.

I believe this is a Zope 2.10 bug:

I'm using 2.10.3 and will check later if 2.10.4 has fixed the issue. The above link also gives a hack to fix the problem, which I will probably try.

Those darned ZopeCompilerErrors. I don't know how many I fixed when working on my SNN branch. I'll take a look at this.

[Tuomas Tonteri (tuomas-tonteri)]

Zope 2.10.4 did not fix the problem. I will look into this today to try to find a hack / solution.

[Tuomas Tonteri (tuomas-tonteri)]

Yeah, the hack worked fine.

It involved editing zope 2.10.4's lib/python/zope/tal/talinterpreter.py line 784:

gen = AltTALGenerator(repldict, self.engine, 0)

to:

gen = AltTALGenerator(repldict, self.engine._engine, 0)

Explanation is found inside the link I gave earlier.

Copied tab_status_macros.pt from SilvaNews_for_Silva2.0_aaltepet branch, which has a fix for this issue already.
