Hi, Welcome in Zope/Plone's world...
My comments after ">>>" -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Brenda Bell Envoyé : vendredi 2 mai 2008 19:47 À : [email protected] Objet : [Setup] Where do I start? 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. >>> The Both... sorry for this answer but Plone and Zope are strongly related. >>> You need to understand Zope for work with Plone (You will need to use also >>> the Python language...) 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. >>> In PMI (Plone Managment Interface, in fact, Plone setup), at the bottom of >>> main panel, you can see version of Plone, Zope, Python, ... OR in file system, in folder products of instance, in "CMFPlone" product, there is a "version.txt" file. 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. >>> looking for "FileSystemStorage" product (FFS) >>> http://plone.org/products/filesystemstorage/?searchterm=FileSystemStorage >>> is a good product to store files on file system. An advice: don't forget to read the "README.txt" file of product (or the "doc" folder, if any, before install a product! I'm more than willing to consume the documentation -- I just need to know where to start. >>>> Indeed, it takes time, but it's strongly usefull... keep smile :-) Regards, Thierry Thanks. _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
