1 interface

1.1 2005-11-22 join link invisiable

just make it invisible, not prohibited
go to the Zope Management Interface, click the portal_registration and uncheck "Visible?"

1.2 2005-11-03 customize logo

from plone homepage as admin plone_setup-->Zope Management Interface-->portal skins-->plone_images-->logo.jpg(Plone)-->customize
supplant the Plone image with your own
Note: If this is the first item added to the custom folder, then you will need to probably need to restart zope. On debian, /etc/init.d/zope restart
Then it will start to pick up the custom changes.

1.3 2005-11-04 Adding Keywords and Event Types

Almost each content-type has its keyword. Like event has Meeting, Social event, etc.

add to this list by clicking portal_metadata, clicking elements, and then clicking subject in the ZMI. You'll see a vocabulary for events that lists the subjects for that content type.

1.4 2008-02-21 enable reference graph for plone item

reference graph shows the objects that this object refers (childs) and other objects that refer to this object (parents). By default, it's disabled no matter whether graphviz is installed on your system or not.

edit /usr/local/zope2.9/instance/plone-site/Products/Archetypes/config.py and comment out HAS_GRAPHVIZ = False.

1.5 2008-02-29 install shibboleth on plone

usc shibboleth guide

shibboleth wiki

shibboleth for plone from UCLA knowledge base

1.6 2008-03-05 cache broke

Zope/Plone can't launch due to error following:

 File "/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/ZODB/config.py", line 155, in open
   read_only_fallback=self.config.read_only_fallback)
 File "/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/ZEO/ClientStorage.py", line 314, in __init__
   self._cache.open()
 File "/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/ZEO/cache.py", line 112, in open
   self.fc.scan(self.install)
 File "/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/ZEO/cache.py", line 842, in scan
   "cache file" % 0, hex(ord(status)))
ValueError: ('unknown status byte value 0 in client cache file', '0x74')

Delete the cache files, *.zec in var/.

1.7 2008-03-05 optional python packages

python-profiler has the profile module used frequently in the test suites of plone products.

python-zodb is probably required if zope's storage server was separated into a zeo instance. i forgot exactly where it's required.

1.8 2006-10-09 edit without visual editor

Pages of plone have several different format. When a new file is created, the default format is html(with visual editor). And only then the button "Edit without visual editor" shows up and if you want to reverse an old html-format file back to reStructured Text or something else, there's no such button available. However, the interface is still there, just append the following after the page URL(or replace the appending 'edit' with following):

atct_edit?kupu.suppress=text

2008-04-08 for bibliography entry, to let the visual editor vanish, append this to URL:

base_edit?kupu.suppress=abstract

2 A ReStructuredText Primer

2.1 2006-08-22 display '(prime) in structured text

use the '::' to enclose the part which contains the prime

2.2 reStructured Text

2.2.1 2007-10-18 raw directive in reStructured Text

it's disabled in plone. don't expect to use .. raw:: latex, etc.

.. contents:: works.

.. topic:: doesn't work

check .txt in http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/ as examples. .html are correspondent displaying effects.

2.2.2 2007-10-30 include image.

'scale' is kind of useless. 'width' works. 'target' makes the picture an actual link to that url. the last line/paragraph is the figure legend. it has to be a standalone paragraph starting from beginning. example:

.. figure:: results/genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg
   :width: 1200
   :scale: 50
   :alt: genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg
   :align: right
   :target: results/genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg

   genotyping probes on the array

2.2.3 2007-10-30 simple two-column dictionary style table.

the two colons around 'width' are necessary.

:width: :1200: :text
:scale: :50: :text
:alt: :genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg: :text
:align: :right: :text:
:target: results/genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg: :text

displayed as

width:

1200: :text

scale:

50: :text

alt:

genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg:

:text

align:

right:

text:

target: results/genotyping_probes_on_the_array.jpeg: :text

2.2.4 2008-02-17 structure bullet writing without using `definition` directive.

always indent by multiple of two spaces (multiple of one-space doesn't work).

Below is by definition directive. No empty line in between. chapter 1 would be emphasized.:
chapter 1
  section 2
This is by multiple of two spaces.:
- chapter 1

  - section 2

2.2.5 2008-03-18 csv table

Example:

.. csv-table:: Frozen Delights!
   :header: "Treat", "Quantity", "Description"
   :widths: 15, 10, 30
   
   "Albatross", 2.99, "On a stick!"
   "Crunchy Frog", 1.49, "If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, now would it?"
   "Gannet Ripple", 1.99, "On a stick!"

Displayed as

Frozen Delights!
Treat	Quantity	Description
Albatross	2.99	On a stick!
Crunchy Frog	1.49	If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, now would it?
Gannet Ripple	1.99	On a stick!

2008-07-30 The :file: and :url: directives would render csv-table un-usable.

2.2.6 2008-03-18 order of titles

Reference: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html#document-title-subtitle:

================
 Document Title
================
----------
 Subtitle
----------

Sub-subtitle
------------

Section Title
=============

2.2.7 2008-03-18 set section number

The "sectnum" (or "section-autonumbering") directive automatically numbers sections and subsections in a document.:

.. sectnum::
    :depth:3
    :prefix:1.

Check http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.txt for detail options.

3 zope

3.1 a few things neglected by zope book(2005-11-05)

'<dtml-call function>' and '<dtml-var function>' are different. The former's return value is ignored.
Same DTML document, name.html is different from name_html. The latter will recognize '<dtml-var title>'

3.2 install zope on debian(2005-11-22)

Check /usr/share/doc/zope.
The admin user asked by debconf when installing ZOPE is an emergency user, not the inituser. Emergency user corresponds to /var/lib/zope/instance/default/access. Emergency user can almost do nothing.(see /usr/share/doc/zope/SECURITY.txt) But it can create a manager(NOT owner) user, which is the actual administrator user.
Debian ZOPE's http port is 9673(not 8080).
/usr/share/doc/zope/README.Debian.gz has a short version of how to setup PCGI which allows apache as a frontend http server(instead of ZServer). But /usr/share/doc/zope/examples/apache.conf contains a better one.
PCGI was deprecated. I'm using RewriteRule and ProxyModule.

3.4 2007-11-05 initiate/recover a zope instance

create a new instance dzhandle -z 2.9 make-instance papaya --addon-mode all

start it by /etc/init.d/zope2.9 restart or /usr/local/zope2.9/instance/papaya/bin/zopectl start, or /usr/local/zope2.9/instance/papaya/bin/runzope. runzope is used to see all debug/error output. (there will be lots of errors, but mostly it'll run through. hoorah python!)

link another zope instance's Products directory to it to test

link another zope instance's Data.fs to var/Data.fs to test

3.5 2008-02-24 addon mode

In debian/ubuntu, when package plone-site is installed (by invoking dzhandle), the addon mode is set to 'manual', which means that the products or extensions will be installed manually through dzhandle while mode 'all' means every product or extension available will be automatically installed, dzhandle instance-addon-mode plone-site tells you the addon-mode of an installed zope instance. Change it by:

dzhandle instance-addon-mode plone-site all

The zope product packages are installed in /usr/share/zope/Products/ in debian/ubuntu. To manually install them:

for p in CacheSetup CMFSquidTool LinguaPlone PageCacheManager PolicyHTTPCacheManager ZMySQLDA ZPsycopgDA ZPsycopgDA:2 ZSQLRelayDA
  do echo $p; sudo dzhandle add-product plone-site $p
done

3.6 2008-02-24 move zope from dl324b-1 to banyan

a few products in /usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/Products/ have to be manually moved.

for f in ATBiblioList ATColorPickerWidget ATExtensions ATSchemaEditorNG   ImageMag PloneLDAP PloneSurvey mxmCalendarTypes mxmContacts
  do echo $f
  sudo scp -r root@dl324b-1.cmb.usc.edu:/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/Products/$f /usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python/Products/
done

Products unmoved:
- ubuntu has deb packages for these: CMFBibliographyAT/ PythonField/ TemplateFields/ TALESField/
- just don't need them:PloneSVNaccess Quills RPCAuth basesyndication fatsyndication plonetrackback. For Quills, ubuntu has a similar debian package called, zope-coreblog2.
Copy the old Data.fs over
start the zope by /var/lib/zope2.9/instance/plone-site/bin/runzope.
- Go to plone/ZMI page.
- Delete Quills_tool and RPCAuth
- Two things need to be migrated.
  - portal_migration, click 'migrate'
  - portal_atct, click 'Version Migration'

3.7 2008-07-16 banyan, gutsy upgraded to hardy (8.04)

zope2.9's instance refused to start under /etc/init.d/zope2.9 start, complaining (old/purged). Checking /etc/init.d/zope2.9 turns out that bin/zopectl in the instance directory has been renamed to bin/zopectl.disabled during the upgrade. bin/runzope still works. After renaming it back, it started to kick again.

However, i vaguely remember even sometime right after upgrade, 2008-07-08, error got reported while executing bin/runzope. but now it disappeared, so whatever.

bin/zopectl in dl324b-1's zope2.9 instance was also mysteriously renamed to bin/zopectl.disabled at some point (2006-09-30).

3.8 2008-02-25 enable zeo server and zope with zeo client

create zeo instance on server by sudo dzhandle -z 2.9 make-zeoinstance zeo_plone (maybe open the monitor-address).
move the old zope Data.fs to zeo instance's var (like /var/lib/zope2.9/zeo/zeo_plone/var).
change zope's config file ($instance/etc/zope.conf).
- disable the filestoreage directive of <zodb_db main> enable the zeoclient directive of <zodb_db main>. zeo-client-name (unique local cache files) is optional to setup.
restart both zeo and zope by /etc/init.d/zope2.9 restart

3.9 2008-02-25 Pack (remove previous revisions of objects)

it's like remove some old history in undo.

go to ZMI -> Control_Panel -> Database Management -> main -> fill in how many days ago and click Pack.

3.10 2008-05-29 webdav

There's webdav support from zope (for plone naturally), http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/webdav.

On linux, there's davfs2 package which support davfs mounting /log/short-unix-commandlines#davfs-for-plone . However as the howto points out, is not a regular network share, it's a view into the source code of your site. Not all file types might work.

problems:

filename on davfs is the title of those pages, not the id (shown in URL).

meta information added to the reStructured text. like:

id: python-logs
title: Python Logs
excludeFromNav: False
subject: 
description: 
contributors: 
creators: yh
effectiveDate: None
expirationDate: None
language: 
rights: 
creation_date: 2008/01/14 22:32:15.641 US/Pacific
modification_date: 2008/05/29 16:02:40.478 GMT-7
relatedItems: 
allowDiscussion: None
Content-Type: text/x-rst

end of line character is DOS ^M.
after edition on the davfs, gedit reports file can't be saved. vim saved it but the id was changed to the title and after i changed the id to python-logs, plone reported it's missing on the web (found out it's locked by WebDAV).
also tried the webdav lock/unlock (http://localhost:8080/Plone/manage_access) thing mentioned in the howto. doesn't help.
package fusedav doesn't help as well.

Conclusion is no-good, at least not as file system. Maybe some special webdav client would work.

Archetypes Developer Manual

Programming Plone - The MySite Tutorial

Plone Manual

Testing in Plone

Users, Authentication, and Permissions

User's Manual

Plone Core Developer Reference

The Definitive Guide to Plone

zope3 wiki check its API Documentation.

4.1.1 check source code

Plone's documentation tends to be outdated. Along the source code, there's good .txt files.

INSTANCE_HOME/Products
/usr/lib/zope2.10/lib/python/ subdirectory Products contains site-wise products shared among all zope instances. zope/formlib/form.txt explains well about what zope.formlib can do.

4.2 portlets

4.2.1 2005-11-05 portlet_refdb_papers

It's a repurposing of portlet_favorites, used to list recent 5 papers in research.refdb_papers. Following is key difference.

the content type of files in plone is Portal File
use 'python:here.research.refdb_papers.contentValues("Portal File")[:5]' to list the folder's contents
Portal File doesn't have 'getUrl()' or 'getRemoteUrl()' attributes
in left_slots of Properties of plone, it's called 'here/custom/portlet_refdb_papers/macro/portlet', not 'here/portlet_refdb_papers/macro/portlet'.
getURL() is ok. getUrl() is typo
disallow anonymous view: tal:condition="not: isAnon" is used for this purpose

use portal_catalog to get items:

tal:define="favorites python:request.get('items', here.portal_catalog.searchResults(path=folder, sort_on='modified', sort_order='reverse')[:5]);"

4.2.2 2006-11-14 setup portlet_todo

incompatibility after plone upgrade

portlet_review was consulted in the process of making modifications.

getPhysicalPath() doesn't work anymore
here.toPortalTime() neither, replaced by here.toLocalizedTime()
in left_slots of Properties of plone, it's here/portlet_todo/macros/portlet, not here/custom/portlet_todo/macros/portlet

4.3 2008-03-19 add a custom portal tab

add a custom portal tab linking to Trac. help from http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/changing-tabs

go to the ZMI and into the portal_actions tool. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see a form to add a new action.

Here you do the following:

Enter the Short Name (Trac in this case) in the Id field.

Type the name you wish to appear in the tab itself into the Title field.

Type string:http://url.of.trac into the URL (Expression) field. Make sure there are no spaces in what you just typed.

Type python: member the Condition field. For more conditions, check the how-to link.

Select View from the Permission field drop down menu. (Quick way to do this - since there are so many entries - is to select the pulldown, and press the V key on your keyboard.)

Type "portal_tabs" into the Category field.

Tick the Visible? box.

Click add at the bottom of the form.

4.4 2008-03-21 debug

Run zope in debug mode. edit conf/zope.conf and uncomment debug-mode on
./bin/zopectl debug. This is different from the debug mode above. It doesn't start the zope daemon. Just open a commandline python console for you to test codes.
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
./bin/zopectl test -s Products.RichDocument 04/17/08. this -s doesn't work very well. -m is good.
./bin/instance test -m Products.RichDocument -D will stop execution at the first failing test and drop into a PDB post-mortem.
./bin/zopectl test --help
04/17/08 other options (./bin/zopectl test help) don't really work. like --test-path Products/CMFCalendar/, --package-path Products/CMFCalendar/ or --dir Products/ExternalEditor/. maybe i don't really understand them.

4.5.3 steps

paster create -t plone2.5_theme Variation

2008-04-14 tried paster create -t plone3_theme Variation.250k. Following questions were prompted:

Enter namespace_package (Namespace package (like plonetheme)) ['plonetheme']: Variation
Enter package (The package contained namespace package (like example)) ['example']: 250k
Enter skinname (The skin selection to be added to 'portal_skins' (like 'My Theme')) ['']: 
Enter skinbase (Name of the skin selection from which the new one will be copied) ['Plone Default']: 
Enter empty_styles (Override default public stylesheets with empty ones?) [True]: 
Enter include_doc (Include in-line documentation in generated code?) [False]: 
Enter zope2product (Are you creating a Zope 2 Product?) [True]: 
Enter version (Version) ['0.1']: 
Enter description (One-line description of the package) ['An installable theme for Plone 3.0']: Variation 250k web portal
Enter long_description (Multi-line description (in reST)) ['']: This is a web portal for the 250k db.
Enter author (Author name) ['Plone Collective']: Yu Huang
Enter author_email (Author email) ['product-developers@lists.plone.org']: yuhuang@usc.edu
Enter keywords (Space-separated keywords/tags) ['web zope plone theme']: SNP polymorphism 250k DB
Enter url (URL of homepage) ['http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/']: http://papaya.usc.edu/
Enter license_name (License name) ['GPL']: 
Enter zip_safe (True/False: if the package can be distributed as a .zip file) [False]:

namespace_package is the upper level directory of the directory named after package. So in this example, the whole package path is variation.variation.

install pythonproducts (above), only for zope2.9

04/18/08 every time, the produce code is changed. Restart zope. Uninstall and install the product again otherwise old code is still in ZODB. No need to remove old objects though. Code automatically updates (sometimes if change is too big. might need to write custom migration code.)

is fixed by: (copied from http://plone.org/products/gsxml/issues/1)

(the egg was laid in your site-packages directory.) Create now a file called inquant.plone.gsxml-configure.zcml in your $INSTANCE_HOME/etc/package-includes with the following line in it:

<include package="inquant.plone.gsxml" file="configure.zcml" />

In your $INSTANCE_HOME/etc folder should also be a file called site.zcml file containing that stuff:

<configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
           xmlns:meta="http://namespaces.zope.org/meta"
           xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five">

  <five:loadProducts />
  
  <!-- Load the configuration overrides-->
  <includeOverrides files="package-includes/*-overrides.zcml" />

4.5.6 2008-04-17 error 3

I installed plone3 thru etch-backport. Mysterious errors like this happened.:

2008-04-15T01:28:33 ERROR Zope.SiteErrorLog http://dl324b-1.cmb.usc.edu:8081/Plone/front-page/atct_edit

ValueError: Unable to find update_version_before_edit

Google can't find anything useful. in the end, i reinstalled plone3, made a new instance, make a new plone3 product for variation by paste. The previous old variation product appear as two names in quickinstaller, Products.Variation and Variation. Probably due to co-existence of profiles/ and Extensions/.

4.5.7 2008-04-17 error 4

Installation of Variation messed up the css of Plone and it looked like clumped html page without proper format. It turns out base_properties.props and other dtml files in Variation.SNP250k/Variation/SNP250k/skins/Variation_SNP250k_styles/ added by paste is the cause of that.

4.5.8 2008-04-17 error 5

While running test using zopectl test on this product, got this error:

Turns out ztc.ZopeDocFileSuite in tests.py has to be replaced by ztc.FunctionalDocFileSuite when browser.open() is invoked in doctest. http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/testing/functional-tests/view?searchterm=import

4.5.9 2008-04-18 error 6

After i realized the custom phenotype edit form (browser/phenotype.py) is not used because atct_edit is used in alias and immediate_view of profiles/default/types/Phenotype.xml, i removed atct_edit or replaced it with edit as the custom edit form is named as edit in browser/configure.zcml. I got this error:

It's not the permission problem. Changing the permission to View or zope2.view doesn't help. After i renamed the custom edit form to pheno_edit in browser/configure.zcml and change accordingly in profiles/default/types/Phenotype.xml.:

<property name="immediate_view">edit</property>
<alias from="edit" to="pheno_edit"/>
<alias from="sharing" to="@@sharing"/>
<action title="View" action_id="view" category="object" condition_expr=""

4.5.10 2008-04-13 test plone3 on debian etch

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-on-debian-etch provides instructions of how to get plone3 installed on etch thru etch-backports.

install plone3:

apt-get install -t etch-backports plone3-site

4.5.11 2008-04-17 zopectl test on this product

as the product is installed by easy_install into /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/, the directory has to be added to zopectl test:

./bin/zopectl test --path /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Variation.SNP250k-0.1dev_r461-py2.4.egg/ -m Variation.SNP250k

Or if tag_svn_revision = false in setup.cfg:

./bin/zopectl test --path /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Variation.SNP250k-0.1dev-py2.4.egg/ -m Variation.SNP250k
