renaming Silva root

Created by . Last modified on 2003/08/01.

Note: this is an issue for Silva-0.8 only. From Silva-0.8.3 up You can freely rename the Sila Root Folder without these fixes.

After importing the silva-0.8.zexp into Zope You should have a Silva Root Publication with the name /silva in Your root folder. If You do not like the name or the place of the folder, You may rename it or move it to another place. (Or You may have imported it anywhere else in the first place.)

However after the renaming there is a gotcha in the edit interface: some pictures are missing and some links may lead to non existing places, because they still reference the root as /silva.

The technical reason for this is that they use the here/silva_root to determine the Silva Root Publication where the missing resources are located. You need to fix this property by following these steps:

• in the ZMI, edit the Silva Root Publication in its new location.
• select the "Properties" tab.
• edit the silva_root property to reflect the new location
• if You want, You can fix the help_url, too (though it is not of great use yet.)

Now the edit interface should be back to work.

If You find something still does not work, please let me know as I will try to fix it.
