I've inherited a Plone project and I'm having some trouble sorting things out. I first headed for the documentation which proved to be somewhat overwhelming. So my first question is whether I can start with the Plone documentation or whether I need to start with the Zope documentation.
I have a clear idea of what I need to accomplish and I actually have a Plone site up and running on Mac OS X 10.5. Clicking on the Control Panel gives me the following version info: Zope Version (Zope 2.10.5-final, python 2.4.4, darwin) Python Version 2.4.4 (#1, Dec 20 2007, 22:27:19) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)] So my second question is how does one determine which version of Plone I have? I didn't install anything -- all I did was check out a bunch of files from SVN, follow some instructions to run a setup.py, bootstrap.py and buildout, and it basically came up running. I have a long list of "Products", but the indicated versions don't seem to tell me whether I'm running Plone 3.x or 2.5. What I'm trying to accomplish is relatively simple: I need to populate a Plone Site from files (text and images) stored in the file system and have users be able to modify those files, either by editing the text or uploading a new image. I've successfully used ExternalFile, but all I see in my Plone Site is a bunch of empty folders. And ExternalFile is only available from the management interface -- not from my Plone Site. I'm more than willing to consume the documentation -- I just need to know where to start. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
