I’ve been dealing with a plone upgrade and I think I’m almost done cleaning things up.
This latest error is getting me…
In the main_template I get an error:
Macro Expansion failed
exceptions.NameError: name 'pathexpr' is not defined
I traced it back to coming from the portlets_fetcher template. This one came out of the box but it’s still throwing the error.
I don’t get it, I see right there:
tal:define="pathexpr python:slot[0];
usemacro python:slot[1];"
anyone know why I’m getting this?
My troubleshooting, I got the error trying to edit the custom main_template. I didn’t see pathexpr anywhere so I used the find tab on the skins folder and the only result was for portlets_fetcher. I copied portlets_fetcher to custom and saw the same error there.
edit: Here is the portlets_fetcher template:

Appears that this wasn’t the root of the issue. Will open another inquiry with proper info.
Thanks for looking!
