collective.recipe.plonesite 0.9

Introduction

This recipe enables you to create and update a Plone site as part of a buildout run. This recipe only aims to run profiles and Quickinstall products. It is assumed that the install methods, setuphandlers, upgrade steps, and other recipes will handle the rest of the work.

NOTE: There is another recipe that does something very similar here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.recipe.updateplone

• Code repository: http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/collective.recipe.plonesite

• Report bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/

Options

NOTE: Profiles have the following format: <package_name>:<profile> (e.g. my.package:default). The profile can also be prepended with the ‘profile-’ if you so choose (e.g. profile-my.package:default).

site-id

The id of the Plone site that the script will create. This will also be used to update the site once created. Default: Plone

admin-user

The id of an admin user that will be used as the ‘Manager’. Default: admin

products-initial

A list of products to quickinstall just after initial site creation

profiles-inital

A list of GenericSetup profiles to run just after initial site creation

products

A list of products to quickinstall each time buildout is run

profiles

A list of GenericSetup profiles to run each time buildout is run

instance

The name of the instance that will run the script. Default: instance

zeoserver

The name of the zeoserver part that should be used. This is only required if you are using a zope/zeo setup. Default: not set

site-replace

Replace any existing plone site named site-id. Default: false

enabled

Option to start up the instance/zeoserver. Default: true. This can be a useful option from the command line if you do not want to start up Zope, but still want to run the complete buildout.

$ bin/buildout -Nv plonesite:enabled=false

pre-extras

An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated before running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app variable is the zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain spaces. Default: not set

post-extras

An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated after running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app variable is the zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain spaces. Default: not set

Example

Here is an example buildout.cfg with the plonesite recipe:

[buildout]
parts =
    zope2
    instance
    zeoserver
    plonesite

[zope2]
recipe = plone.reciepe.zope2install
...

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
eggs =
    ...
    my.package
    my.other.package

zcml =
    ...
    my.package
    my.other.package

[zeoserver]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver
...

[plonesite]
recipe = collective.recipe.plonesite
site-id = test
instance = instance
zeoserver = zeoserver
profiles-initial = my.package:initial
profiles =
    my.package:default
    my.other.package:default
post-extras =
    ${buildout:directory}/my_script.py
pre-extras =
    ${buildout:directory}/my_other_script.py

0.9 (2009-08-10)

• Fixed the site-id option so that it defaults to ‘Plone’ properly. Thanks to aclark for the bug report. [claytron]

0.8 (2009-06-24)

• Subversion 1.6 and setuptools are not friends yet. Fixed upload. [claytron]

0.7 (2009-06-23)

• Clarification to docs. Cleaning up copy/paste error to post-extras [andrewb]

• Fixed the instance option so that it defaults to ‘instance’ properly [claytron]

0.6 (2008-12-16)

• Make admin-user configuration option truly optional per the documentation. Fallback to ‘admin’ which would be the common default per ZopeSkel’s plone3_buildout template [andrewb]

• Added new options pre-extras and post-extras. The two options are files that can be run before and after the quickinstaller and profiles have been run. [claytron]

• Add condition so that the script can be used on older versions of plone [claytron]

0.5 (2008-11-11)

• Fixed a bug where already installed Products would not be re-installed [claytron]

• Added example buildout config and updated the READMEs [claytron]

• Re-factored the plonesite.py script [claytron]

• A dash of PEP 8 [claytron]

0.4 (2008-11-11)

• Added a ‘enabled’ option so that you can switch the part off from the command line. (buildout:parts-=plonesite doesn’t work yet) [claytron]

• Change the script so that profiles prefixed with ‘profile-’ can also be given. [claytron]

• Added some docs to the recipe [claytron]

0.3 (2008-10-30)

• Added site-replace option to the readme [claytron]

• The replace-site option is no longer required [claytron]

0.2 (2008-10-30)

• new Plone sites will be created with a datetime suffix which is helpful if you need to re-run new instances over and over again e.g. for migration purposes. If you need a fixed site id then explictely set the id using the site-id option. [ajung]

• Fixed error with uninitialized variable [jeffk]

• Add buildout recipe option site-replace, defaults to off. Use with site-id.

  New recipe option site-replace = on will remove any existing object in app named site-id. A new plone site will be created to replace it.

  Default option setting site-replace = off will not remove existing objects in app named site-id. [jeffk]

0.1 (2008-10-11)

• Created recipe with ZopeSkel [claytron]
