About

A Plone document including images, attachments and links, with a free choice of layout.

Requirements

Plone 3.0 and more

Known problems

Under Plone 3.0.x (no more under Plone3.1.x), PloneArticle is using its own jquery version called pa_jquery.js

If you are using your own jquery.js installed with another third party product, disable pa_jquery.js in portal_javascripts

Install

In your instance :

  • using buildout :
    • just add Products.PloneArticle in your instance eggs list of your buildout.cfg
  • using easy_install, at prompt :
    • easy_install Products.PloneArticle
  • in a "classical" zope instance
    • unflate the archive Products.PloneArticle.xxxx.zip
    • Copy only the directory named "PloneArticle" inside the unpacked "Products.PloneArticle" directory Paste it to your zope instance Products dir.

In your Plone site :

  • Use the quickinstaller on your Plone site(s)
  • Go to the PloneArticle preferences configlet and tweak it in conformance with your site policy.

Configure

General

PloneArticle comes with a configuration panel to tweak most harmless features (available models, file/image/link types). You can limit the size (in bytes) for uploaded images and files.

CMFEditions support

Open as site Manager http://_your_site_/versioning_config_form in your browser (yes, there's no link from control panel portet in Plone 3.0.3!), and activate versioning for PloneArticle. Optionally select desired policies.

Be aware that versioning is open to bloat your ZODB as long as CMFEditons uses it as repository back-end.

Wicked support

PloneArticle is by default wicked aware. As usual, you just need to type ((some word)) to have it behave like a wiki word. If you don't want this behaviour, you just need to edit implements.zcml and remove or comment the XML elements with wicked namespace.

Sorry for this complex stuff but there's no easy way to do this TTW or through a config file.
