Hi,

I wrote a blog entry about Poi, intelligenttext and Plone 2.5/3.0:

http://maurits.vanrees.org/weblog/archive/2007/06/poi-intelligenttext-and-plone-3

My conclusion was:

* On Plone 2.1 or 2.5:

- For a Poi version without sudden changes that would require a
reinstall or a schema update: use branches/1.0 from bundles/10.

- For recent improvements: use trunk from bundles/trunk.

* On Plone 3.0: use branches/plone3-support from bundles/plone3.


I still stand by those conclusions. A fresh 2.1/2.5/3.0 with the
right bundle works fine.


But my problem now is: how do you migrate from 2.5 to 3.0? Depending
on how I go about doing that (uninstalling Poi and intelligenttext,
then upgrading for example) I run into errors like:

====================================
2007-06-14 12:02:14 ERROR ATCT.migration Failed migration for object /poi/issues/1 (PoiIssue -> __dummy__)
Traceback (most recent call last):
(...)

if not mt.binary and not type(data) is UnicodeType:

raise AttributeError, escape(name)
AttributeError: binary
====================================

MimeTypeException: Malformed MIME type (<text_web_intelligent at broken>)

====================================

ValueError: Unknown mime type text/x-web-intelligent

====================================

At any rate Poi does not want to be reinstalled, giving one of those
errors.

intelligenttext either does not show up in portal_transforms and
portal_mimetypes or it shows up as broken.


Any ideas?

This probably doesn't relate to your problem w/ intelligenttext, but
how much of an idea do you have already of what's different between
those? Is something newer on trunk than on plone3-support? Can
plone3-support go to trunk without breaking 2.1 / 2.5 ? I think XM is
doing OK there, yes?

Of course, trunk is up to Martin, but if he doesn't want
plone3-support on trunk yet, maybe we can work to merge over anything
that is newer than trunk.

Martin?

Maybe you want to remove the intelligenttext product before upgrading
to Plone3, which will install its' own, slightly different
intelligenttext package, IIRC. Probably worth a shot, on a Data.fs
copy of course. ;d

The plone3-support branch is really just about getting Poi running
with Plone 3.0.

On trunk more stuff is happening, mostly by Daniel Nouri, that is not
on the plone3-support branch.

I think when Plone 3.0 is out of beta, trunk should be copied to
branches/1.1 and the plone3-support branch should be merged into
trunk.

I did that: I uninstalled Poi and intelligenttext in 2.5, cleaned out
the Products dir, put in Plone 3.0 (with
lib/python/plone/intelligenttext) and the Poi 3 bundle (with no
intelligenttext in the Products dir). That still gave some of the
problems I mentioned.

I tried that with a fresh Data.fs with only one Poi tracker and one
issue.

Earlier you said the mt was either broken or missing, can you give
more info about the circumstances in each case?

I tried again and kept more rigorous notes. I tried without Poi and
its bundle now, so only default Plone plus intelligenttext.

I will paste my notes below for good measure, but the summary is this:

When you start with a Plone 2.5.3 (tar ball) site and migrate to Plone
3.0 (svn bundle):

- when you do not first uninstall intelligenttext in 2.5, you will get
a broken mimetype and broken transforms.

- when you uninstall intelligenttext first in 2.5, then after
migration you will not have the intelligenttext mimetype or
transforms.

So: migration is not right yet.

But:

- After *migrating* to Plone 3.0 you can actually still keep
Products/intelligenttext and then everything seems fine.

- If you start with a *fresh* Plone 3.0 you cannot have
Products/intelligenttext and install it or you will get an error:

BadRequest: The id "web_intelligent_plain_text_to_html" is invalid
- it is already in use.

So: if you start with Plone 2.5 and migrate you *must* have
Products/intelligenttext and if you start with Plone 3.0 you *cannot*
have Products/intelligenttext. The difference is strange. It boils
down to a migration issue I think.


My understanding of the situation:

- Products/intelligenttext (the collective product) is set to be
phased out: after Plone 2.5 it should no longer be used.

- lib/python/plone/intelligenttext (the product in core plone) is the
preferred way to use intelligenttext from Plone 3.0 onwards.

Question: is this indeed the wish of the intelligenttext authors?

If yes, then: how do you migrate from 2.5 to 3.0 and use the new
intelligenttext from the lib/python dir only?

For the record, here are my notes.


Plone 2.5
---------

- Create a fresh Zope 2.9.7 instance

- Add Plone 2.5.3 in the Products dir

- Add intelligenttext to the Products dir:
https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/intelligenttext/trunk

- Start Zope, create a Plone site

- Neither mimetypes_registry nor portal_transforms have
intelligenttext

- Install intelligenttext with the QuickInstaller. The log says:

Installing text/web-intelligent mimetype and transform
Registered mimetype text/x-web-intelligent
Registered transform web_intelligent_plain_text_to_html
Registered transform html_to_web_intelligent_plain_text

- mimetypes_registry has text/x-web-intelligent

- portal_transforms has:
html_to_web_intelligent_plain_text
web_intelligent_plain_text_to_html

- If you feel like trying all of this yourself, now would be a good
time to make a backup of your Data.fs, as you may want to explore
some alternatives routes from this point on.


Plone 3.0
---------

- Create a fresh Zope 2.10.3 instance

- Add Plone 3.0 to the Products/ and lib/python/ dirs.

- Make sure there is no Products/intelligenttext.

- Start Zope, create a Plone site

- mimetypes_registry has text/x-web-intelligent

- portal_transforms has:
html_to_web_intelligent_plain_text
web_intelligent_plain_text_to_html

- That is how we want it.


Migration A.
------------

- Create a fresh Zope 2.10.3 instance

- Add Plone 3.0 to the Products/ and lib/python/ dirs.

- Make sure there is no Products/intelligenttext.

- Add the database from the Plone 2.5 site you made earlier.

- portal_quickinstaller does not list intelligenttext on the Install
tab, though it does mention it on the Contents tab.

- portal_transforms lists the two intelligenttext transforms as
BROKEN. When you click on them you get:

...
Module Products.PortalTransforms.Transform, line 202, in get_parameters
AttributeError: _v_transform

- When you try to look at mimetypes_registry, you get an error:

Module Products.MimetypesRegistry.MimeTypesRegistry, line 218, in lookup
- __traceback_info__: ("'<text_web_intelligent at broken>'", '<text_web_intelligent at broken>')
Module Products.MimetypesRegistry.MimeTypesRegistry, line 449, in split


MimeTypeException: Malformed MIME type (<text_web_intelligent at broken>)

- Go to portal_migration, the Migrate tab, select
"2.5.3 (svn/unreleased)" as your current version (the upgrade from
'2.5.3 final' fails) and do the migration.

- portal_transforms still lists the intelligenttext transforms as
BROKEN.

- mimetypes_registry still gives the same error.


Migration B.
------------

- Start with Plone 2.5 and the Data.fs with intelligenttext still
installed.

- Go the the quick_installer and uninstall intelligenttext.

- Observe that mimetypes_registry and portal_transforms do not list
intelligenttext anymore.

- Switch to Zope 2.10.3 and Plone 3.0 like above.

- Run the portal_migration.

- Observe that mimetypes_registry and portal_transforms still do not
list intelligenttext, so migration has failed to add this.

- At least there are no errors, which is good.


Migration C.
------------

- Start with Zope 2.10, Plone 3.

- Add Data.fs with intelligenttext still installed from 2.5

- Add Products/intelligenttext

- Observe that mimetypes_registry and portal_transforms list
intelligenttext correctly.

- Try to uninstall (or reinstall) intelligenttext. You get an error:

...
Module zope.component._api, line 207, in getUtility
ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass Products.CMFCore.interfaces._content.ISiteRoot>, '')

- Okay, do the portal_migration first.

- Uninstall intelligenttext.

- Now the intelligenttext transforms and mimetype are of course not
available.

- In portal_setup on the Properties tab select 'Plone Site' and on the
Import tab run 'import all steps'. This does not add the transforms
or the mimetype.

- Ask yourself how you are going to register
lib/python/plone/intelligenttext
