CMF OpenOffice.org Document Installation

The following steps are required to install CMFOODocument into your CMF/Plone/Icoya portal:

• Install libxml2, libxslt and its python bindings. All can be found at http://www.xmlsoft.org
• Install the CMFOODocument product in Zope by extracting this tarball into your lib/python/Products directory.
• Restart Zope.
• Open your portal with the Zope manager (ZMI).
• If this is an upgrade from CMFOODocument versions prior to 0.2.1 you will have to remove the OODocument factory type information before installing.
• Create an ExternalMethod object inside your portal object with the following data:

      Id: install_CMFOODocument
      Title: installs CMFOODocument to this portal
      Module Name: CMFOODocument.Install
      Function Name: install

• Run this newly created ExternalMethod by clicking on the test tab.
• If everything went well, several messages should appear, explaining what has just been done.
