Theme Editor for Plone, Customize your theme resources through the web
Project description
Overview
The theme editor makes it possible to customize most aspects of a plone theme from a single location. After installation a new entry is added to the Plone “site setup” control panel called “Theme Editor.”
Using the themeeditor
Log into your Plone site as a Manager
Navigate to Site Setup
Select Theme Editor
Reporting Issues
Visit https://dev.plone.org/plone and submit a ticket related to Theme Editor
Installation
If you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:
Add plone.app.themeeditor to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:
[buildout] ... eggs = ... plone.app.themeeditorRe-run buildout, e.g. with:
$ ./bin/buildout
Version Notes
You will need to pin newer versions of plone.app.customerize and plone.app.jquerytools as shown below:
[buildout] ... versions = versions [versions] plone.app.jquerytools = 1.1.2 plone.app.customerize = 1.2
Important: the versions noted here were correct at the time of release (Plone 3.3.5). It is likely that newer versions of Plone 3 will adopt the versions of plone.app.jquerytools and plone.app.customerize listed above. If your version of plone requires a newer version of plone.app.jquerytools or plone.app.customerize there is no need to pin them in the [versions] section.
Plone Versions between 3.1.x and 3.2.x
Versions of Plone before 3.3 do not use z3c.autoinclude so it is necessary to add a zcml entry in buildout
Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:
[instance] recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance ... zcml = plone.app.themeeditor
