event_listing without results when default_page is a collection

[adnus]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is a bug.

I would like a collection as the default page on my Plone site, in the root folder. The Idea is to list all the news on the start page of my site. That's working so far.

But when I do that, the <plone_site>/event_listing shows no results more.

I found this lines in the plone/app/event/browser/event_listing.py:

    # Try to get the default page
    default = get_default_page(context)
    self.default_context = context[default] if default else context

If I change it to

   self.default_context = context

the event_listing view shows the expected results, even if a collection is the default on the root folder of my plone site.

So my question is: What does this code do? What happens with self.default_context = context, or in other words: what will not work anymore.

I'm not a programmer, just a more advanced user ;-)

Greetings from Germany und many thanks!
Jens

@adnus Hi Jens, I'd say this is a bug, so please keep it open. It will be looked at eventually:)
What versions of plone and plone.app.event?

oh, ok, thanks! No problem. It's not an urgent thing.
I found this issue in the 5.0.8, plone.app.event-2.0.13.
I tried the 5.1, same results.

Great! thanks for the report.
