[Erp5-dev] resolveCategory and category 'format'

[Mikolaj Antoszkiewicz]

Hi All,

I noticed that portal_categories when asked to resolve 'format' category
throws an Exception when that category is not present.
I also found that:
portal.restrictedTraverse*('portal_categories/format') = 'text/html'
I guess that's acquisition working.

Of course, when such category exists everything is all right.

That would probably require a patch on CategoryTool, but I cannot supply
one right now. If anybody has any idea how to nicely 'resolve' that I'd
be happy to hear.

When a category is not present, how do you want to resolve it?

If I get it right, the issue is not that the non-existent category can
not be resolved - this is quite all right. The issue is the
restrictedTraverse returns a string when it should raise an exception.

Let me put it this way, for many other categories (I haven't checked
all), when they're not present portal_catalog returns None. For the
'format' category it throws an Exception.

I thought that strange and seemed to find out why, that's why I posted.

I think this is normal, because "format" is a property defined DublinCore.
Where is "format" defined as a base category?
