[TurboGears] Renaming TurboGears 2’s Repoze Fields with TGAdmin

[William Chambers]

I've been working on renaming TurboGears 2's Repoze 'groups' field to
'roles' to free the namespace and db tables for other purposes. Also
roles makes much more sense to me then groups because I have a strong
Drupal background.

Now I have found some of the docs to do this such as these:

http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/docs/main/Auth/Customization.html#customizing-the-model-structure-assumed-by-the-quickstart

http://code.gustavonarea.net/repoze.what-quickstart/#customizing-the-model-definition

However these only go part of the way. I have made (I'm pretty sure at
least, I've double checked a few times.) all the changes required as
you can see in this diff.

This seems to work fine however I've ran into a rather major issue
with the TurboGears Admin system.

I've tried http://turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/Extensions/Admin/index.html
and it didn't seem to make any difference, however I'm not 100% sure I
did it correctly.

The problem occurs when I attempt to go to localhost/admin/
permissions/. It causes a Internal Server Error and outputs the
following error. http://pastebin.com/YWMH3SiU This error does not
happen on the Roles/Users pages and the permissions /edit/1 also
works.

I'm running kubuntu 10.04 with TG 2.1b2. (I'm running the beta mostly
for easier mako support which is really important.)

Any help would be very appreciated.

Have you visited the debug-screen? what happens there?

The problem with the traceback at hand is that it's useless. Not
because of your fault, but apparently weberror tries to gather
information for the traceback & fails doing so. I have no idea *what*
makes it fail, so I can only suggest to try visit the debug-session &
re-install the virtualenv including setuptools.

I'm going to be re-installing the virtualenv + setuptools and then
working through each change to try to identify exactly what is causing
the problem. Thanks for your help.

The problem was It seems the TG2 installer got setup tools 0.6, not
0.6c9 which is what's required. The debug now works properly and I've
been able to patch my way around the problem. When I renamed "groups"
to "roles" I configured TGAdmin and while it worked fine for all the
other admin pages, the permissions page would still be looking for
"groups". I was able to work around it by patching TGAdmin however I'm
sure there has to be a better way to do it. I've spent several hours
trying to get it to work and the docs nearly, but don't quite cover
this.

Here's the diff if anyone could please suggest a better way.

Looks to me like this is still not fixed. I had to manually
easy_install setuptools==0.6c9 to get the interactive debugger to
work.

I really hate to be a nag but could anyone please suggest a better way
to go about this that doesn't involve patching the core files? I can
only assume it'll either need patched or another workaround.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help. :)

I've never used admin or sprox. But doesn't this look like what you
are asking for?

Here's how I got it to work, more specifically:
