Installation

To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:

  1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add collective.newsticker to the list of eggs to install

    [buildout]
...
eggs =
    collective.newsticker

  2. You may need to extend a five.grok known good set (KGS) to make sure that you get the right versions of the packages that make up five.grok

    [buildout]
...
extends =
    http://good-py.appspot.com/release/five.grok/1.2.0-1

  3. You may also need to pin zope.schema to version 3.8.0 or higher

    [versions]
...
zope.schema = 3.8.0

After updating the configuration you need to run ''bin/buildout'', which will take care of updating your system.

Go to the 'Site Setup' page in a Plone site and click on the 'Add-ons' link.

Check the box next to ''collective.newsticker'' and click the 'Activate' button.

Note: You may have to empty your browser cache and save your resource registries in order to see the effects of the product installation.
