Metal:use-macro on private content

Plone Support Add-on Development
1

I have run into a LocationError trying to invoke metal:use-macro="context/main_template/macros/master" on an item in the private state.

In the portal_skins/custom page template below (yeah DON'T GIVE ME GRIEF this is for TTW training I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT BROWSER VIEWS la la la la la this means you @robzonenet) if I use on a content item that is in the private state, everything works when I am logged in.

But if I am logged out, I get the error trace below.

Is it not possible for anonymous users to get to the main_template on private content?

A workaround is to give "Access contents info" and "View" permissions to Anonymous in that workflow state, but I'd really rather not... I'd like to keep private things private.

The view template works if I don't try to use the main_template macro or fill-slot...

<html>
  <body tal:define="checkPermission nocall: context/portal_membership/checkPermission; canedit python:checkPermission('Modify portal content',context)" >

  <tal:anon condition="not: canedit">
    <h2>Thank you</h2>
    We will respond to your question as soon as possible!
  </tal:anon>

  <tal:canedit condition="canedit">
    <div tal:define="portal_name here/portal_url/Title; 
                  subject python: 'Your inquiry at ' + portal_name; 
                  question_encoded python: context.your_question.replace('&', '&amp;').replace('<', '&lt;').replace('>', '&gt;').replace(' ', '%20');
                  question_encoded_quoted python: '&gt; ' + question_encoded;
                  subject_encoded python: subject.replace('&', '&amp;').replace('<', '&lt;').replace('>', '&gt;').replace(' ', '%20');">

    </div>

The irritating thing is that IF ONLY it were possible to have that metal:use-macro be not in the html tag but inside it I could put it inside some TAL that checks first.

to debug properly this kind of issues you must go to the error_log tool on the ZMI and remove NotFound the from the list of Ignored exception types.

after that, you'll be able to see the root cause of the problem.
