I meant the http://<server>/<SITE_NAME>/prefs_install_products_form which shows a number of uninstalled and installed products that shipped with the distro such as CMFSquidTool 1.3.0, CacheSetup 1.0, ... TextIndexNG3 3.1.9, as well the installed products. It says: To make new products show up here, put them in the directory /opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products on the file system, and restart the server process. which I did - the products are placed into that dir: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products 525 $ ls -ld FAQulator FCKeditor kupu Quills-1.5RC3 ZWiki drwxr-xr-x 6 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 FAQulator/ drwxr-xr-x 7 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 FCKeditor/ drwxrwxr-x 20 plone root 4096 2006-09-11 23:46 kupu/ drwxr-xr-x 7 plone root 4096 2006-08-29 18:45 Quills-1.5RC3/ drwxr-xr-x 11 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 ZWiki/ 22:35:49 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products and after a restart, FAQulator, FCKeditor, kupu, and ZWiki are available, but there's no evidence of Quills (which is advertised as a Plone Product, not a Zope product). > Note that Quills _should_ be listed in the Control Panel of Zope, > which in my case is located at: > http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/manage_workspace No Quills-related entries show up in the Zope Control Panel either. > Does that help or did I misinterpret your problem?

This has been done for the admin, and two other users who I added. None of them has access to the editors, tho you can see that the preferences for them in each user's login.

Not in my site there isn't (as a normal user).

I'll look around and see if I can find additional hints as to why I have these gaping holes. -- Harry Mangalam - Research [EMAIL PROTECTED], E2148, Engineering Gateway, UC Irvine 92697 949 824 0084(o), 949 285 4487(c) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Cheers, Harry Harry J Mangalam - 949 856 2847(o) 949 285 4487(c) (email for fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [plain text preferred] _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
