This version of MyMediaManager has been tested with Zope 2.4 and CMF 1.1.

Download the newest release of MMMShop at http://www.mmmanager.org/?downloads=true Untar the tarball into the Zope dir.

Read the INSTALL file to see if any installation instructions have changed.

Restart Zope. MMMShop has now been installed. Please read the Setup section in order to set up the content types.

2 Setup

Go to the ZMI and find the CMF Site you want to have MMMShop running under. You must set up the skins in order to make your CMF site use the new portal types. First add a new Filesystem Directory View. Set the Directory to use lib/python/Products/MMMShop/skins_nobabel and give it an ID of MMMShop. Then go to the Properties tab and enter MMMShop in the hierachy.

Add the new content types like this: Go to the portal_types folder. Add these Factory-based Type Information objects: ID: Currency Manager Type Information: MMMShop: MMM Shop Currency Manager

ID: Shop Manager Type Information: MMMShop: MMM Shop Manager

ID: Shop Product: Type Information: MMMShop: MMM Shop Product

ID: Shopping Cart Type Information: MMMShop: MMM Shop Shopping Cart

If you want to have a catalog of your products, please add some Subjects to the portal_metadata tool that your products can use as categories. You can also create a topic that will dislay these products in a shop catalog.

The first thing you should do, is creating 1 Currency Manager (give it an ID of CurrencyManager) and 1 Shop Manager (give it an ID of ShopManager) in the root folder of your CMF Site (remember to publish them !!!!).

In the import dir of this release is 2 files: reconfig_form and personalize_form The reconfig_form gives you the links to the Currency Manager and to the Shop Manager. The personalize form gives the user the ability to set their preferred currency. (And you want them to do that - else they will keep getting errors).

Now you should be up and running :-) If not - please visit out tracker at http://www.mmmanager.org/MMMShop to see if the problems you have been discovered by others before contacting our support department.
