Forum .LRN Q&A: Response to problems in subject/class and club-new on postgres

This is a patch that I sent in that might help.  It prevented me from adding classes during migration.

File: packages/dotlrn/tcl/community-procs.tcl

Proc: new

Change the following:

      set template_id [dotlrn::get_portal_id_from_type -type $community_type]

To:

      set template_id [dotlrn::get_portal_id_from_type -type $object_type]

Reasoning:

At this point, community_type is the class key and the object_type is one of dotlrn_community, dotlrn_class_instance or dotlrn_club.  If you use community_type, there is no matching row in dotlrn_portal_types_map and therefore no template id.

I discovered this because, after the addition of the static_portlet stuff, I was no longer able to add classes.  This code relied on the template_id to get required information.

I believe this bug would also cause the class template not to be used.
