Posting comment without name breaks page for admin

[mck9]

When posting a comment without a name as anonymous, admin is no longer able to open the page:

AttributeError("'TTWViewletRenderer' object has no attribute 'name'",) (Also, the following error occurred while attempting to render the standard error message, please see the event log for full details: 'TTWViewletRenderer' object has no attribute 'name')

plone.app.discussion 2.2.18 on Plone 4.3.10

This happens by customizing "plone.comments (plone.app.discussion.interfaces.IDiscussionLayer)" in portal_view_customizations

@mck9 portal_view_customizations is mostly broken and I suggested it should be deprecated. Also see: plone/Products.CMFPlone#1702 and plone/Products.CMFPlone#1632.

If this is indeed related to those kind of bugs, you could try collective.jbot to achieve similar results (i.e. customize a template through the web).

I couldn't reproduce it in http://plone-demo.quintagroup.com/ (can you?) but that wasn't with admin user but a site level ploneadmin. Does this happen only with admin from application root level?

@davilima6 You can view the error here: http://plone-demo.quintagroup.com/news/site-upgrage (after login as ploneadmin)

@mck9, thank you. It doesn't seem related to portal_view_customizations, though, since I deleted everything there and the bug persisted.

IINM it actually only happens when Enable comment moderation is enabled so I guess the bug lives in its viewlet. Also worth noting that even if you disable that option, a once broken page doesn't get fixed.

@davilima6 this is strange, I fixed it by deleting the customization (locally). I also see, that plone.comments is marked as "customized", but the customization is missing (as you said).

How the viewlet and customized plone views relate is beyond my knowledge.

It's stange indeed that the item is still highlighted as customized after deletion.
