DX type not showing up in navigation/portal tabs?

zopyx · May 3, 2016, 7:30am

Hi there,

my "XML Director" connector content-types does not show up as default in the navigation (portal_tabs).

xml-director/xmldirector.plonecore/blob/plone5-demo/xmldirector/plonecore/connector.py#L79


    )


    default_view_authenticated = schema.TextLine(
        title=_(u'Default view (authenticated)'),
        description=_(u'Name of a default view for anonymous site visitors'),
        required=False,
        default=u'@@view',
    )




class Connector(Item):


    implements(IConnector)


    connector_url = None
    connector_username = None
    connector_password = None
    connector_subpath = None


    def get_handle(self, subpath=None, create_if_not_existing=False):
        """ Return WebDAV handle to root of configured connector object

Is this due to the fact that the content-types is not folderish (derived from Item)?
The content-types does not use the "Exclude from Navigation" behavior....so how can you make this type available as portal tab?

Choose your weapon:
a) own indexer for exclude_from_nav that returns always False
b) behavior with exclude_from_nav defined to return False
c) subscriber on object added, which sets an attribute exclude_from_nav to False

is it unchecked in /@@navigation-controlpanel ?

Like @jensens found out, you need the Exclude from Navigation behavior enabled, otherwise the content type isn't shown. IMO, that's a bug which should be fixed.
So - rephrasing - use this behavior or go with @jensens option a).

maybe this is the real cause; I just opened this yesterday:

The item is unchecked in the navigation control panel.

Trying to change it using GenericSetup resulted in a memory bomb:

Simple registry.xml entry leads to complete memory allocation/memory bomb

Plone 5.1a. I added the following registry.xml record to the almost empty registry.xml https://github.com/xml-director/xmldirector.plonecore/blob/master/xmldirector/plonecore/profiles/common/registry.xml <record name="plone.displayed_types" interface="Products.CMFPlone.interfaces.controlpanel.INavigationSchema" field="displayed_types"> <field type="plone.registry.field.Tuple"> <default> <element>Image</element> <element>File</element> <element>Link</element> ...
