ZGotW Installation Instructions
- Uncompress the product file into the root of your Zope
installation, e.g.,
/usr/local/zope or
C:\tools\Zope. This extracts files into two
subdirectories, import and
/Products/ZGotW/Extensions, which will
be created if needed.
import/ZGotW.zexp, the ZClass-based Zope ProductProducts/ZGotW/Extensions/ZGotW.Utilities.py,
the supporting Python ExternalMethod.
- Zope 2.0.x users
- Under Zope 2.0,
ExternalMethods expect to find their Python files
in
$ZOPE_HOME/Extensions. If you have any other
ExternalMethods already defined, then that
subdirectory should be there already; otherwise,
you will need to create this directory first. Then
you can just copy/link the Utilities.py from the
$ZOPE_HOME/lib/python/Products/ZGotW/Extensions
into it, and rename it to 'ZGotW.Utilities.py.'*
- Zope 2.1.x and 2.2.x users
- If this is an
$INSTANCE_HOME -based Zope, all is well;
if not, you will need to move the ZGotW directory to
your $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products.
- On the
Control Panel | Products screen, select the
Export button (pre Zope 2.1b2) or the Export/Import
tab. Use the import form to import ZGotW.zexp.
- Somewhere in your main Zope tree, create a
ZGotW Root.
- The "local host" and "smtp host", etc. properties are
used to initialize a MailHost object -- you will need
working values for them before you can create an issue.
- The "editors" property should contain email addresses,
one per line, of those fortunate individuals who will
be editing the GotW.
- The gotwList property should contain the email address
to which the GotW will send its "open", "reply", and
"close" announcement emails (e.g., [email protected] for
the Zope GotW contest).
- View the newly created object, modify the default DTML
documents there to suit your taste, and begin
creating GotW Issues.
