Products.Ploneboard 2.0

Requirements

Ploneboard requires:

• Plone 3.0 or later

• SimpleAttachment

Installing with buildout

If you are using buildout to manage your instance installing Ploneboard is very simple. You can install it by adding it to the eggs line for your instance:

[instance]
eggs = Products.Ploneboard

If another egg package depends on Products.Ploneboard you do not need to specify anything in the buildout configuration: buildout will detect this automatically.

After updating the configuration you need to run the ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.

Installing without buildout

You can install Ploneboard easily using the easy_install command from setuptools; this will install both Ploneboard and SimpleAttachment. You can install this in either the system python path or in the lib/python directory of your Zope instance. If you have setuptools installed you can do this using easy_install:

easy_install Products.Ploneboard

If you do not have setuptools you can install both manually by using the setup.py script in the SimpleAttachment and Ploneboard sources. If you want to install SimpleAttachment inside your Zope instance instead of system wide you can its ‘’–prefix=’’ option to install in the ‘’lib/python’’ directory of your Zope instance.

2.0 - March 14, 2008

• Index newly added comments so all their data is correct in the catalog. [wichert]

• Rework the RSS feed: make the Ploneboard RSS feed work recursively so a feed on a forum shows all conversations and a feed on the board itself shows all comments from all fora. Enabled feeds on the Ploneboard type. [wichert]

• Remove the object_provides index from Ploneboard: Plone 3.0 has a much more efficient version of that itself. [wichert]

• Add an explicit visualClear below the ‘start new conversation’ button so it does not overlap the table. This fixes http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/161 [wichert]

• In preparation of PLIP195 being merged for Plone 3.1: declare Products.SimpleAttachment as a dependency in our GS profile. [wichert]

_ Update the Lithuanian translation. This fixes

http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/164 [wichert]

• Correct the attachment size vocabulary: the values should be integers, not strings. This fixes http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/168 as well as http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/144 [wichert]

• Honour the content-type for comments when transforming them. Doing things like replacing newlines with <br/> on text/html comments is kind of silly. [wichert].

2.0rc1 - December 21, 2007

• Make the comment-icon a link to the comment. This fixes http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/78 [wichert]

• Fix a corner case: creating a conversation without text but with attachments would loose the attachments. [wichert]

• When creating a new conversation do not set its description to the entered text. [wichert]

• Correct base class for portlet add form. This fixes http://plone.org/products/ploneboard/issues/154 [wichert]
