ftw.publisher.example 1.0

Installing

On the sender system, just add the package to your buildout using the “sender” extras_require. You should also add a cronjob (ClockServer) which invokes the execution of the publisher queue.

You need to create a ClockServer-user on the sender instance with “Manager” role on the plone site. This username / password you need to configure in the sender buildout. The user will then be used to invoke the queue execution using Products.ClockServer.

sender buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
...

[instance1]
...
eggs +=
    ftw.publisher.example[sender]
    Products.ClockServer
zcml +=
    ftw.publisher.example

zope-conf-additional =
    <clock-server>
        method /PLONESITE/@@publisher-config-executeJobs
        period 600
        user SENDER_USER_WITH_MANAGER_ROLE
        password USERS_PASSWORD
    </clock-server>

receiver buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
...

[instance1]
...
eggs +=
    ftw.publisher.example[receiver]
zcml +=
    ftw.publisher.example

Then you need to add a second user on the receiver instance, which will receive the publisher jobs and create / update objects. Therefore he has to have enough priviledges.

Once you have installed the plone-sites, go to the publisher control panel on your sender instance (within the plone control panel) and add the target plone site URL (realm) and the username / password of the user created on the receiver instance.
