Problems encountered on migration from Plone 2.1.2 to Plone 2.1.4

Last weekend we migrated our Plone 2.1.2 sites (Zope
2.8.5-final, python
2.3.5, linux2) to Plone 2.1.4 (Zope 2.8.8-final, python
2.3.5, linux2)
and encountered the following problems.

This mail is posted here in order to help anyone else
experiencing these
problems.

- Sharing tab : unscriptable object error.
Logged in as administrators belonging to the Administrators
group we got
this error when trying to access the sharing tab.  Other
users not
declared in groups did not get this error.  We solved this
by applying
the patch described here: dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5727

- allow_sorting attribute error:
Our home-grown AT content types threw this error when trying
to access
the edit tab.  We got aroung this by customising the
referencebrowser.pt
and adding a '|nothing' to the tal statements that reference
this
attribute for the ATReferenceBrowserWidget.  We have been
told that an
update_schema of our content types might fix this but we
haven't tried
this yet.

- i18n_domain attribute error:
Our home-grown AT content types threw this error when trying
to access
the edit tab. This is due to non-rigorous coding of the AT
with i18n
stuff.  We added the missing i18n statements to solve this.

- content-type-registry
ftp puts were raising the permission error 'Add Documents,
Images and
Files' (same problem as here
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg
_id=14041633).  The
content-type=registry after migration only contained a
predicate for the
image type.  To get around this we added a new Plone site in
our Zope
instance and replaced the buggy content-type-registry with
the one in it.

That's all for the moment, may find other things later...

Have a nice day,

Marie

I have experienced this exact problem a bunch of times and
solved it the 
same way as you. If you change the slightest thing, 
content_types_registry breaks. This happened to me when I
uninstalled 
CacheFu 1.0.1 then installed CacheFu 1.0.2 and then
restarted our Plone 
2.1.3 site. Same goes for Mimetypes_Registry.

I think there's something brittle about
content_types_registry and 
mimetypes_registry,

another problem for this list is the impossibility to open
content types 
under the contents tab in IE by clicking on the contents
title.  All 
that happens is the check box is checked.  This problem and
its solution 
is explained here:
