Concerning that big, big bug

Good morning Priyadarshan, good morning Jagrata,

I'm trying to debug that Membership thing. I set the Portal Setting -
Password policy of our live site to "Allow members to select their Initial
Password" for a couple of seconds to see if the error persists. The good
news is, the error does persist. Why is that good news? Because on my local
machine, where I also have  "Allow members to select their initial
password", there is no error. So the error is not directly related to our
password policy of generating a password, which I can't test on my local
machine (because I don't have a SMTP server). I immediately set back that
property to "Generate and e-mail member's initial password". Sorry for
messing around on the live site, but since there is no Stage as you said,
what can I do?

So the culprit is not vsaCore, or at least not directly. The CMFCore method
that complains is setMemberProperties. I can't customize this method inside
the customs folder, since it does things that are not allowed for Python
Scripts. Also, an External Method inside vsaCore that includes this
setMemberProperties method does not work - Zope looks at the one from
CMFCore, which makes sense, since it is a method deep inside a class
definition inside a module that is not visible through the ZMI anyway.

Why do I tell you all that stuff? Because the next step would be for
Priyadarshan or Jagrata to move the current version of vsaCore to the live
site. I know, this is not exactly the standard development cycle, but I see
no other way to debug this error, since I have no access to the file system
of the live site (and I shouldn't have access to it!) and I have to make
sure that the two sites (my local and live) are really identical. Also, it
would be helpful to have Zopestage put back to life. That's where I should
do the debugging!

Greetings
Dhyani
