Templer system extensions for plone add-on development
Project description
Introduction
This package extends the functionality of the templer code generation system. It builds upon the functionality of templer.core, templer.buildout and templer.zope, and depends on those packages. This package provides basic support for creating plone add-ons. Included are templates for basic plone packages, nested namespace plone packages and archetypes plone packages.
Primary Documentation for the templer code generation system may be found in the Templer Manual on Read The Docs.
Creating Packages
As with the parent package, templer.core, creating packages using templer.plone templates is accomplished by using the templer script. The script is invoked thus:
templer plone_basic
This will create a basic plone package skeleton.
Migration from ZopeSkel
Templer cannot coexist with ZopeSkel before version 3.0 in the same buildout or Python virtualenv. If you have previously installed ZopeSkel 2.x in your environment, uninstall it completely before using templer-based packages or ZopeSkel 3.
Otherwise you will encounter the following error when trying to create packages:
IOError: No egg-info directory found (looked in ./mycompany.content/./mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/bootstrap.py/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/buildout.cfg/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/CHANGES.txt/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/CONTRIBUTORS.txt/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/docs/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/MANIFEST.in/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/mycompany/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/Paste-1.7.5.1-py2.6.egg/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.6.egg/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/PasteScript-1.7.5-py2.6.egg/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/README.txt/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/setup.cfg/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/setup.py/mycompany.content.egg-info, ./mycompany.content/src/mycompany.content.egg-info)
Before start using Templer
Remove ZopeSkel references in buildout.cfg
rm -rf eggs/ZopeSkel*
Other Functions
The templer script provides a number of other functions, these are described in full on the index page for templer.core at PyPI
