Error Customizing plone.links.favicon View for ISenaiteCore Interface

[conroyke56]

Description

Encountered a BadRequest error when attempting to customize the plone.links.favicon view associated with senaite.core.interfaces.ISenaiteCore via portal_view_customizations in a Plone and SENAITE installation running in Docker on Linux. The system reports that the ID for the customization is already in use, which prevents saving any modifications.

2. Locate plone.links.favicon (senaite.core.interfaces.ISenaiteCore) and open it.
3. Click on the [Customize] button.
4. Encounter the BadRequest error indicating an ID conflict.

Observed behaviour

Received a BadRequest error message indicating that the ID "zope.interface.interface-plone.links.favicon" is already in use, which prevents the customization from being completed.

Expected behaviour

The customization interface should allow modifications to the plone.links.favicon view without any ID conflicts, enabling users to save their changes successfully.

Hi @conroyke56 Maybe you can have a look at and not sure if you got to this point

Click [Customize] and change the two instance of the text $portal_url/+plone+senaite.core.static/images/favicon.ico to point to the favicon in the custom folder, $portal_url/portal_skins/custom/favicon.ico and save

also note if you haven't already default branches are 2.x

[conroyke56]

default branches are 2.x

Yes, this is a new install, using docker. currently on 2.6.0 for all.

Click [Customize] and change the two instance of the text $portal_url/+plone+senaite.core.static/images/favicon.ico to point to the favicon in the custom folder, $portal_url/portal_skins/custom/favicon.ico and save

that is exactly what i am trying to modify. When I hit customise, i get the error, so no ability to modify it.

I have looked at plone documentation, and there's nothing helpful.

https://4.docs.plone.org/manage/troubleshooting/exceptions.html#badrequest-the-id-xxx-is-invalid-it-is-already-in-use

solution: "Not really sure why this happens." Try portal_catalog rebuild as a fix.

catalog rebuild did not help.

Maybe try on a new site or instance, even new container. It works for me

[conroyke56]

are you running all 2.6? can you first try changing the plone.links.favicon (senaite.impress.interfaces.ISenaiteImpressLayer)

<tal:favicon define="portal_url view/site_url">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/portal_skins/custom/favicon.ico" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/portal_skins/custom/favicon.ico" />
</tal:favicon>

then going back and seeing if you can customise the core? thats the only modification i have made within zope. Changing it back made no difference, i still get the error.

[Lunga001]

Our (senaite.impress.interfaces.ISenaiteImpressLayer) and our (senaite.core.interfaces.ISenaiteCore)

<tal:favicon define="portal_url view/site_url">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++plone++bika.ui.static/assets/icons/favicon.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++plone++bika.ui.static/assets/icons/favicon.png" />
</tal:favicon>

[conroyke56]

Just wound up a new instance. And same error for me.

Just to be clear. When you hit customise on the core, you can modify that code?

[Lunga001]

Yes, I have created a new site and this also saves

<tal:favicon define="portal_url view/site_url">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++plone++bika.ui.static/assets/icons/analysisservice.png" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++plone++bika.ui.static/assets/icons/analysisservice.png" />
</tal:favicon>

I've been experimenting further to understand the issue better, and it seems the solution might be simpler than I initially thought, although I could be overlooking something obvious. I initiated another instance and discovered I could modify the favicon without any problems.

However, the issue arises when I attempt to make changes to the favicon using Impress. After making changes there, I'm unable to go back and make any further modifications to the favicon for the core system.

Below are the screenshots illustrating what I'm trying to achieve:

This is what I aim to modify:

Here, I go into the system to modify the core favicon:

After saving these changes and then trying to modify it again via Impress, I encounter the following error:

I suspect this issue might be related to the process of saving changes, which seems to leave the code in a modified state. as per the first screenshot. Is there a way to commit the changes, other than hitting save?
