CMF 1.0 final (2001/03/29)

  • Removed embedded spaces in portal_status_message strings (thanks to Dieter Maurer for pointing this out)
  • Added index_html (copy/paste from CMFCore.PortalContent?!?) so that topics become directly publishable (thanks to Dieter Maurer for pointing this out).
  • Removed references to Images/ in skin DTML, adding an extra item to the default skins' lookup path. In CMFDefault/scripts you will find addImagesToSkinPaths.pys, a Python Script that adds the extra name to all your skin paths. (Tracker issue #205).
  • Added FSPythonScripts, allowing filesystem-based skins to expose customizable PythonScripts.
  • Fixed CMF Tracker item (207), "HTML test when editing a Portal Document is ambiguous". Now, the same regular expression used to scoop out the contents of the tags, which is case insensitive, is also used to detect whether the document may be HTML.
  • Converted physical path to string (Tracker #224).
  • Fixed Creator metadata for DiscussionItems (tracker issue #206, thanks to Jeff Sasmor for the patch!).
  • Added simple search field for Subject (Tracker #213).
  • Fixed CMF Tracker issue 211, "Topics have Folder icon" by finally moving the Topic icon into the skins, and writing a custom icon() method that uses getIcon (Subclassing from PortalFolder made this behavior strange).
  • Changed CMFDefault.Document__init__ to call self.edit at the end, instead of self._parse, which means that HTML can finally be passed into the constructor. Unit tests verify that initializing with just the id gives the proper results.
  • Added installation script (external method) for CMFTopic.
  • Ensured that content metatypes show up in the types list of the portal_catalog tool (Tracker issue #209, thanks to Jeff Sasmor).
  • Fixed unwanted multiple font reductions on recent_news (Tracker issue #215).
  • Changed visited link color to enhance readability.
  • Fixed PNG transparency of logo (for NS 4.7).
  • Allowed Contributors to publish content directly (Tracker issue #216).
  • Gave more real estate to skin path fields (Tracker issue #226).
  • Added simple listing of subtopics to the default view (Tracker issue #214).
  • Regularized DiscussionItem.absolute_url (further work on Tracker issues #203 & #206).
  • Made addToFavorites work as skinned method of target, and work for DiscussionItems (Tracker issue #227).
  • Moved actual mail sending into CMFDefault.RegistrationTool, to avoid having to give proxy roles to the skin methods involved (Tracker issue #160).
  • Add member count to roster display.
  • Made review_state workflow info publically visible.
  • Made DiscussionItem.getReplies() and DiscussionItemContainter.getReplies() show only published replies (allows retraction, for now).
  • Fixed WorkflowAction.__call__ to use the correct method name for exception notification (Tracker issue #232).
  • Ensure that reply's Creator propagates through preview (thanks to Jeff Sasmor for reporting that our fix to Tracker issue #206 missed the "Preview" case).
  • Removed crufty calls to registerPortalContent.
  • Trimmed over-long item IDs in actions box (Tracker issue # 234; thanks to Jeff Sasmor and Steve Alexandar for the patch).

CMF 1.0 beta (2001/03/05)

  • Migrated from old PTK repository on cvs.zope.org.
  • Changed package and module names: PTKBase has become (mostly) 'CMFCore'; PTKDemo, CMFDefault.
  • Added package CMFTopic, which provides a new content type, 'Topic'; topics are "logical" folders, which aggregate content based on catalog searches against metadata.
  • Revised discussion mechanism to store discussion with its underlying content (rather than in members' "Correspondence" folders).
  • Mad the membership system agnostic to the kind of user folder, including whether it is found in the portal or not.
  • "Skinned" the portal UI and all the content objects, enabling portal managers to replace it "piecemeal", safely.
  • Implemented local type registration, allowing portal managers to configure and extend the types addable in the portal.
  • Add PortalFolder.allowedContentTypes and supporting machinery in type info objects, to permit configuration of the content types addable to a given folder type.

CMF 0.10alpha (2001/02/02)

  • Fixed breakage of "reply" feature introduced by new constructor regime (PTK Tracker #159).
  • Make creation of an acl_users in the portal itself optional.
  • Add mapping of external roles (i.e., belonging to a user retrieved from an acquired user folder) onto "portal-specific" roles. For example, users from the root user folder may have the "Employee" role; the portal_membership tool can map this role onto the "Member" role needed by the portal.
  • Corrected HTML quoting of Document text (PTK Tracker #154).
  • If content_url is not None and the user has their own member folder (as returned by portal_membership.getHomeUrl) then two new actions will show up in the user-related action box:
    • "Add to Favorites", adds an item to the user's "Favorites" folder, which will get created underneath the user's home folder if not present.
    • "My Favorites", linked to the Favorites folder (if the member has one).
  • Add Favorites content type (derived from Link, optimized for objects within the same site).
  • Add PTKBase.interfaces.Contentish, an interface describing non-metadata methods for all content objects.
  • Added cool new portal icon -- thanks to Michael Bernstein!
  • Add simple_metadata and metadata_help methods, for easing "constructorish" capture of metadata. Also demos "skinning" object-specific DTML.
  • Rearranged base classes to deal with the fact that SimpleItem now has a _setId() method.
  • Added a "quick start" script for creating a new INSTANCE_HOME sandbox (e.g., to allow easy experimentation with new-style portal).
  • Remove "metadata" editing from most "normal" edit forms.
  • Tweak stylesheets to make Netscrape 4.x more happy (links on secondary accent areas wouldn't show).
  • Enforced standard construction interface (only id is required) on all "stock" content types.
  • Added default factory registration in portal_types for all "stock" content types.
  • Add portal_types tool, allowing registry of type / constructor information about portal content which may be created in a given portal instance (replaces Wizards folder as type registry).
  • Added the description property to those attributes shown on the "view" screen for a file object (PTK Tracker #153).
  • Added credentialsChanged hook which can now work with CookieCrumblers.
  • Added Shane Hathaway's CookieCrumbler product, which spoofs HTTP Basic Auth for "don't know from cookies" user folders.
  • Add object for mapping property lists as filesystem object (to support parameterized stylesheet). These objects are customized as normal Folders, which allows a great deal of flexibility.
  • Corrected PTKDemo.File.edit to avoid replacing file contents with empty string when no file is uploaded (PTK Tracker #152).
  • Remove distribution-tab verisons of TTW products.
  • Remove derived UML model files (UML-HTML).
  • Added the PortalGenerator class, which is a subclassable portal instance creator, and created a new addable meta type.
  • Removed ZClass dependency from PropertiesTool.
  • Corrected glitch that PTKDemo.PortalObject.manage_options was inherited from ObjectManager rather than PortalFolder.
  • Add PUT_factory to PTKBase.PortalFolder (make it replaceable, too!)
  • Register PTKDemo content class metatypes with PTKBase.PortalFolder's MIME-type registry.
  • Unscrew PTKDemo.Document's dependence on vanished NullPortalResource.
  • Clean up CSS in DemoPortal (PTK Tracker #124).
  • Remove dependency on PythonMethod in DemoPortal (PTK Tracker #151).
  • Integrated user preference for "skin" with portal_skins options.
  • Added capability to filter * PortalFolder.content{Ids,ValuesItems} based on metadata queries.
  • Migrated skins from DemoPortal/Interfaces folders into filesystem skins directories.
  • Improved integration of FSDTMLMethod and FSImage with output from the FSDump product.
  • New tab for the member data tool: contents displays the number of members stored in the member data tool and also the number of "orphaned" members, meaning those that do not appear in the underlying acl_users anymore. a button is provided to "prune" those orphaned members.
  • Added methods to examine the contents of the meber data tool and to prune all those members who have been deleted out of the underlying acl_users.
  • Fixed bug when adding the mailhost during Portal initialization.
  • Added the portal_memberdata tool, which can wrap any user object with member properties. Yeehaw! the portal no longer needs a special user folder!
  • Add portal_skins tool, enabling safe TTW customization of the default portal UI, which will be delivered as filesystem-based skin folders. Huge kudos to Shane Hathaway, who figured out a sane way to do this!
  • Extend fix for PTK Tracker #149 to generic and sweng interfaces.
  • Append /view to search results in order to allow navigation to objects which don't use standard header/footer in their index_html, e.g., Images. (PTK Tracker Issue #149)
  • Add meta_type to DiscussionItem (PTK Tracker Issue #150).
  • Integrate Dan Pierson's patch to show discussion threads inline (PTK Tracker issue #93).
  • Fix PTK Tracker #145 (PTKDemo/Portal.py or MailHost broken): the 2000/12/08 hotfix removed the "legacy" name, manage_addMailHost.
  • Fix PTK Tracker #148 (Table rows need vertical align)
  • Fix PTK Tracker #147 ("PTKDemo's Metadata HTML is ugly").
  • Fix PTK Tracker issue #136 (CSS selection broken).
  • Fix Tracker issue #141 (Wizard product has broken subobjects list).
  • Remove redundant description arg from constructors (PTK Tracker issue #142; thanks to [email protected] for reporting this).
  • Enable FTP upload/creation of NewsItems
  • Add the ability to query and set DublinCore metadata via FTP:
    • Updated PTKDemo.DemoDublinCore.DemoDublinCore to add a method, getMetadataHeaders(), which builds a list of DublinCore headers, suitable for inclusion in tags or in "Structured Text Headers".
    • Updated PTKDemo.Document.Document to export/import the metadata when accessed via FTP.
  • Fix PortalFolder.all_meta_types() to allow non-content.
  • Fix PortalFolder.listActions() to return a tuple, not a list

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
