PK67537: AUTHORING TOOLS USE THE WRONG CONTEXT WHEN APPLIED TO PZN CMPNTS THAT ARE REFERENCED VIA THE ELEMENT TAG

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Authoring tools are applied using the <AuthoringTool>
  tag.  When applying Authoring Tools to menus and
  navigators the edit, delete and approve functions are
  applied to each item displayed in a menu or navigator.
  .
  This is done by setting the context parameter of the tag
  to "AutoFill".
  .
  PZN components (menus) that are referenced using the
  component tag in a presentation template result in the
  expected behavior as described above.  However, PZN
  components referenced using the element tag do not and
  instead the  edit, delete and approve functions are
  applied to the top level content.
  STEPS TO RECREATE:
  1)Created authoringtoolscmpnt with edit design <a href="
    <Placeholder tag="sitepath"/>" target="_blank">
    <Placeholder tag="name"/></a>
  2)Created pzn component with design <AuthoringTool
    context="autoFill" name="sampleauthtool1"/><Element
    context="autoFill" type="content" key="Region"/>
  3)The PZN  Component references a rule which is supposed
    to display to contents having the text element "Region"
    with values EU and NA
  4)Created Presentation template with FROM ELEMENT TAG
    <Element context="current" type="content" key=
    "CmpntRef"/> FROM COMPONENT TAG<Component name=
    "Web Content/samplepzncmpnt"/>
  5)Previewed the template with another content.
  .

Local fix

Problem summary

• Users Affected: All Java edition LWWCM users
  
  Problem Description:
  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  Links generated by AuthoringTools tag would point to the content
  from the context instead of the result when used with autofill
  option.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  A change introduced in PK66814 also required a corresponding
  change in the class which resolves the authoring tools tag.
  
  
  Failing Module: WCM - Web Content Management (General)
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  Introduced the extra if condition in this class so that it is in
  sync with changes of PK66814.
  
  IMPORTANT NOTE: All the items which have been renamed would have
  to be saved again after appying this fiix. A better way to
  achieve this would be to run the RefreshAllItemsModule (withe
  the preserver_dates option) to resave all the items as
  documented in the infocenter.
