Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Announcement - contacts-heavy application being developed - accepting feature requests

A breadcrumb for those who follow...

I tried to install Contacts on the HEAD version of OACS and it crashed while trying to install the data model.  I traced the problem to the final inline_1() function in views-create.sql. This function reads the package_id and attempts to initialize some package data with calls to contact__view_name_save.

The code fails because the package_id is not yet available at this point in the install.

A temporary solution, which allowed me to load the package, was to move the final function out of views-create.sql and execute it manually (from the plsql prompt) _after_ the package had been installed using the package manager.

Thanks for the posting Dave. I've created a section in the bug-tracker for contacts, so you can post bugs there in the future. I believe Matthew is working on this bug right now. Thanks for posting it.
