How to get the External Editor feature of Plone to work on Windows.

ZopeExternalEditor allows you to edit plone files with your favourite program when you click on the pencil icon Edit icon

Just follow this steps to get zopeeditor working:

  • First, you need to install a program in the client side (zopeedit).  Download zopeedit and install it in your system. You can get it from:
  • Copy the zopeedit configuration file which is located at C:\Archivos de programa\ZopeExternalEditor\zopeedit.ini to the user folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>.
  • Then you can configure this zopeedit configuration file.  In order to set vim as your default editor, change the "editor" line:
    editor = "C:\Archivos de programa\vim\GVimPortable\GVimPortable.exe"
  • Now you can click on the pencil icon Edit icon and select "open with" Zope.ExternalEditor. The file selected will be opened with your lovely editor.
