Plone Scholarly Journal - the content types

Project description

Introduction

The Plone Scholarly Journal (PSJ) is a collection of packages to create and maintain scholarly journals using Plone.

The special abilities of PSJ are:

  • High quality on-the-fly transformations of office documents using OpenOffice.org.

  • Flexible metadata handling

This package contains the content types and metadata handling.

Currently, the whole thing consists of three packages:

  • psj.content (this package)

  • psj.policy (provides mainly office-document transformations using OpenOffice.org)

  • psj.site (kind of umbrella package for the other packages).

Requirements

PSJ runs on Plone 3.x with Python 2.4.

Installation

If you want to run a complete PSJ site, then you should use psj.site, which will fetch all other needed packages automatically. psj.site comes also with extended installation notes.

The whole installation process is driven by zc.buildout.

If you want to run this package alone, follow the follwing steps:

  1. Run bootstrap.py:

    $ python2.4 bootstrap/bootstrap.py

    This will create basic build scripts and directories.

  2. Run buildout:

    $ ./bin/buildout

    This will fetch all packages needed from the internet and install it locally. Also all scripts are created by this step.

  3. Start the server:

    $ ./bin/instance fg

    Now you can login on http://localhost:8080/manage. Default credentials are: username admin, password admin.

    You can change the credentials in buildout.cfg.

    If you want to start the server in background, do:

    $ ./bin/instance start
  4. Stop the server by pressing CTRL-C on the commandline. If you started the server in background, do:

    $ ./bin/instance stop

If you want to run the tests:

  1. Do the tests:

    $ ./bin/instance test -s psj.content
