[Remember Mailing List] Membrane group indexing

[Cristopher Ewing]

Hi all,

We have been working hard this week at Penn State on a new, dexterity-based version of FacultyStaffDirectory.  All has gone reasonably well so far.

I've been working on integrating  membrane functionality for our base dexterity content types and I have a couple of questions, and one notification.

Question #1.  Although the current documentation does not indicate this, it appears that collective.indexing is a hard requirement for indexing.  Is this true?

Question #2.  Even after adding collective.indexing to our buildout, groups were not being indexed by the membrane tool, we looked at the code for the MembraneCatalogProcessor in catalog.py and it appears that the code which determines if a content object should be indexed into the membrane catalog only checks for user objects, not groups.  This would seem to mean that no non-AT-based groups will ever be indexed by the membrane catalog.  Is this a correct reading?

Announcement:  Assuming that our reading of the MembraneCatalogProcessor code is correct, we've fixed this problem in a branch we call 'cewing-addgroupindexing'.  I'd appreciate it if someone could look that fix over and if it is acceptable, merge it to trunk.  It's a pretty small diff.  Wichert, I think you're running the show now, can you do that?  It'd be especially nice if this change made it into any upcoming new releases of membrane, since dexterity-based groups are also desirable.

Thanks for your attention,

Cris
