Products.CMFPublicator 1.3.1

CMFPublicator provides a METAL mechanism to publish contents in an arbitrary order, inside classic portlets or home boxes.

Overview

This product was born at 2004/01/15 and provide a tool used to do static content publication in CMF and Plone sites. It broke with CMF's idea of free showing published content according to pre-defined rules, giving to the reviewer power to choose just the objects he wants to show in the portlets.

Requirements

• Plone >= 3.2.x (http://plone.org/products/plone)

Installation

To enable this product,on a buildout based installation:

1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add Products.CMFPublicator to the list of eggs to install

   [buildout]
   ...
   eggs =
       Products.CMFPublicator
   

2. Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

   [instance]
   ...
   zcml =
       ...
       Products.CMFPublicator
   

If another package depends on the Products.CMFPublicator egg or includes its zcml directly you do not need to specify anything in the buildout configuration: buildout will detect this automatically.

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

Go to the 'Site Setup' page in the Plone interface and click on the 'Add/Remove Products' link.

Choose the product (check its checkbox) and click the 'Install' button.

Uninstall -- This can be done from the same management screen, but only if you installed it from the quick installer.

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

Usage

When you have followed the doc/INSTALL.txt file and installed CMFPublicator succesfully, you must setup which publication boxes the portal will have:

1. Go to ZMI of your portal root

2. Go to the 'portal_publicator' tool

3. There are a tab containing the settings for configuration:

   The 'Configuration' tab contains the fields to insert new publication boxes.

   Make one publication box to each portlet box that you want to have.

4. Each publication box created needs an integrated portlet_interface to interact with us. This interface can be customized in default portal_skins folder.

   Follows the idea of this portlet to make and customize others, and have fun! ;-)
