This Product is a showcase on how to integrate a public view into Plone 3.x.

Project Description

AnthillPublicView

This Product demonstrates how to integrate a public view into Plone 3.x.
It is intended for users that have a layout (selfmade or done by another
company) that does not fit into the Plone layout.

The main idea to acomplish simple skinning is to split the management view
(current Plone view) and the view that is presented to anonymous users and
give admins and editors the possibility to quickliy change between both views.

That way you can use the full power of Plone when doing site management, can
unleash the full power of a design (you do not need to fit it into Plone
design) and also have features like deploying books like the Plone Users Guide
to your end users without having to worry about your Plone having other colors
and such (because it has another layout, colors, ...).

NOTES
=====

+ The default installation allows viewing Plone interface to Manager, Editor and Owner.
Change this in profiles/default/rolemap.xml if you want.

BUGS
====

+ Sometimes it can happen that Zope does not provide security information
(e.g. when displaying error pages) so that you always get the public view.
There is no fix for this currently.

+ ... perhaps many more other bugs ... remind that this is a showcase

TODO
====

+ Include more documentation
+ Fix bug with security shortcut
+ Add example how to remove plone template stuff from public views
