Not uninstalling cleanly?

[jmce]

In a couple of Plone 4.1.5 sites, after removing all [smart]link objects, I disabled redturtle.smartlink, packed the Data.fs, removed the product entry in buildout.cfg and ran buildout, but still got these warnings in the instance.log (until I included redturtle.smartlink in buildout.cfg again) :
WARNING OFS.Uninstalled Could not import class 'SmartLink' from module 'redturtle.smartlink.content.link'
WARNING OFS.Uninstalled Could not import class 'SmartlinkConfig' from module 'redturtle.smartlink.utility'

One interesting detail: in one of those sites, after the above, I created a new link with the same id (and in the same folder) of one of the previously existing links (a link to an image object, which to my surprise was originally using flowplayer to show the image linked to when visting the link object). The bigger surprise was that the freshly created link object (now just a classic Link object) was also using flowplayer to show the target image (and, unexpectedly, actually not redirecting visitors to the image object, a strange behaviour I had noticed with redturtle.smartlink installed). Visiting the link object with the ZMI, I noticed this was because it had a "layout" property (with value "flowplayer", if I remember correctly). But this did NOT happen if I created similar link objects with different new ids (no layout property in those) --- somehow, Zope/Plone retained some memory of the layout property associated with the old [smart]link's id (until I removed the property in the new link via the ZMI), even though I had packed Data.fs with the smartlink already deleted. Maybe some interaction with redturtle.video? In case it's helpful the eggs section is currently

For now I'm keeping redturtle.smartlink in buildout.cfg, even though not using it, just in case there may be any side effects of its absence beyond the warning messages...

Actually, the incident of the link to an image trying to show the target image with flowplayer, instead of redirecting to the image (those visitors unable to edit the link), would deserve a separate issue entry here --- but it's now hard for me to do further testing until I have time to play with smartlink in a fresh separate Plone instance...

We will check this, thanks for reporting and analysis

[jmce]

Thanks! Meanwhile, I just noticed that:

• in other Plone sites I have "Active baseline: profile-Products.CMFPlone:plone" in the portal_setup Profiles tab;
• but the 2 sites where I had installed and later disabled redturtle.smartlink, show "Active baseline: profile-redturtle.smartlink:uninstall" instead, as the "baseline profile".

I'm not sufficiently acquainted with Plone mechanics to know how much of a problem (if any) this may be... Mentioning it in case it may be helpful too.

Meanwhile: I found the other problem you reported (change of baseline). It's a bug in the uninstall procedure.

We will fix this also

Going back to your problem: the "interesting detail" you reported can't be a problem of Smart Link (and yes: old flowplayer versions were using the flowplayer view to display images. I fixed it some month ago).

You report two missing utility:

• 'SmartLink' from module 'redturtle.smartlink.content.link'
• 'SmartlinkConfig' from module 'redturtle.smartlink.utility'

The second one has been fixed in the 1.1.3 release (I will release it today). The first ones: seems simply you didn't removed all Smart Link contents.

If not: I can't reproduce the problem, sorry.

Baseline context change: fixed also

Thanks for your report

[jmce]

Thanks! I'll upgrade asap.

Installing the most recent redturtle.smartlink release and removing it again (after having created some additional links) seemed to go ok [links converted back, etc.] but I noticed now (while installing redturtle.portlet.collection, but maybe this is not much relevant) these two messages showing up in instance.log:
2012-09-27T18:44:35 ERROR GenericSetup Step smartLinkToATLink has an invalid import handler
2012-09-27T18:44:35 ERROR GenericSetup Step imaged-event has an invalid import handler
(among other INFO ones, perhaps not relevant -- let me know if more info could be useful...)
[NOTE: in this case, I had already removed the redturtile.smartlink egg entry from buildout.cfg, after deactivating in Plone]

[jmce]

Via ZMI, portal_setup, tab "Manage": 2 "steps with invalid step handlers":
SmartLink - various import steps [redturtle.smartlink.setuphandlers.setupVarious]
Smart Link: migrate from Smart Link back to ATLink [redturtle.smartlink.setuphandlers.smartLinkToATLink]

I suppose I may simply delete these steps there (but still haven't)...

[keul]

Yes, you can remove them manually without problem, however there's still something we can change there (an useless import step)
