Update: beta 2 fixes English translation If you're still seeing German Press Room content, upgrade to Press Room 3.2 beta 2, delete the files PressRoom.i18n-pressroom-plone-de.po and PressRoom.i18n-pressroom-de.po from your Zope's Placeless Translation Service Control Panel, and restart your Zope.
This release brings more efficient storage, a German translation, and other, minor fixes.
As of Press Room 3.2, the containers for Press Clips and Press Releases are Large Plone Folders. Before 3.2, Press Room used normal folders, which become inefficient when containing more than about a hundred items. To upgrade an older Press Room, navigate to the Press Room and append "/@@upgrade-folders" to the url. A message will return with the results of the upgrade. Note that your Press Room subfolders must retain their original ids ('press-clips' and 'press-releases') in order to be upgraded.
Note also that, by default, Large Plone Folders are not normally addable in a Plone site. To allow the creation of the two used in a new Press Room, we briefly enable them (if they weren't already) and after adding them, we disable them again. That means that attempts to rename them will cause a cryptic error about disallowed types. To get around that, simply navigate to portal_types in the ZMI, click into Large Plone Folders, and check the "Implicitly addable" checkbox.
Feature enhancements in this release
The following features are associated with this release:
- #3: Make Press Room subfolders into Large Plone Folders
- Use Large Plone Folders instead of normal Folders for Press Room subfolders to increase scalability.
Change log
- Switched to Large Plone Folders for storing Press Releases and Clips. Provided a migration script for upgrading older Press Rooms. (This was Roadmap item #3.) [jbaldivieso]
- Returned Press Contacts for purposes of press room presentation in the order in which they're stored in the press-contacts folder. [jbaldivieso]
- Added German translation, thanks to Sven Anders [jbaldivieso]
- Added Publication to pressroom_view listing of Press Clips [jonstahl]
- Changed date & publication spans in pressrom_view to divs [jonstahl]
- Removed "Up one folder" from Press Room subfolder views [jonstahl]
- Made CSS not conditional on pressroom types (it was hard to style pressroom subfolders, which aren't custom types; also it's more efficient to have that readily combinable with other stylesheets in the Resource Registry) [jonstahl]
