Edit view on Silva link are broken when they are published

[Sylvain Viollon]

If you create a Silva Link to http://www.google.com, and publish it in Silva 2.1, when you can't access to the edit view anymore.

This is due of the preview on the edit view we think.

It's seems to come from the preview changes you made. Can you check that ? I am going to add functional test for that after.

Sylvain, I'm not able to reproduce this using a fresh buildout of the Silva 2.1 branch.

I create a new silva document, and add a link to http://www.google.com. I then save and publish the document. The edit screen is not broken, and I see a preview of the document below the matrix navigation. Could you post the traceback?

[Sylvain Viollon (thefunny)]

There is no traceback, you are just redirected to Google. However, you don't add a Silva Document but a Silva Link (that's Silva Link which is broken).

Sylvain, I tried to replicate this using a buildout of the Silva 2.1 branch, and one from the trunk. I did the following:

1) in the Silva root, I added a silva link
id: link
title: link
type: absolute
url: http://www.google.com
2) I "save and edited"
3) I published
4) I saw the edit tab displaying the following: Link <<link>> redirects to: http://www.google.com

I also tried creating a relative link, and it had the same behavior as I describe above.

Looking in the source, I see the Silva/install.py registers a preview view for Silva Links, which is: views/public/SilvaLink/preview/render.py

It explicitly tests to see whether we are in the edit screen (and not the preview tab), and if so returns the text described above. Perhaps you could verify that the preview view for SilvaLInks in your instance are going registered properly?

I wonder if anyone else at infrae is able to replicate the behavior in this bug report.

[Andy Altepeter (aaltepet)]

I don't think this is really an issue.
