Create "News Item" causes error (object has no attribute 'text') about plone.app.contenttypes HOT 5 CLOSED

Moving this issue to the CMFPlone repository. In the plone-backend repository we track issues with the Docker installation of Plone, but not issues with Plone itself.

from plone.app.contenttypes.

@lucaspottersky I can't reproduce this on the Plone 6 classic demo site (https://6-classic.demo.plone.org/)

This could happen if the News Item content type is using the default layout (which assumes a text field is present), but the plone.richtext behavior isn't enabled.

That in turn could happen if you created a Volto site instead of a Classic site, but are not accessing it via the Volto frontend. Volto uses blocks for layout instead of the news item view.

Do you know whether you used the "Create a new Plone site" or "Create Classic Plone site" button when creating the site? You must use "Create Classic Plone site" if you are not using Volto.

@davisagli Anyway, I think this is an annoying issue and the classic interface shouldn't hard fail if the text behavior is not enabled.

The ZPT should use getattr(context, 'text', '') or something similar.

@avoinea Yes, good point.

Moved this to the correct place, where the template should be fixed.
