CMF 1.0alpha Release Notes

Prerequisites

Please note that you will need to upgrade your Zope to version 2.3.1b1 or later, or apply Jeffrey Shell's one-line patch to a Zope 2.3.0 installation, in order to use the CMF.

Caveat Utilor

This is the final alpha release of the CMF software. Please do not create or move "production" sites onto this release; rather, install and test it "on the side", and report bugs to the tracker or the mailing list.

Changes

Flesh these out from README.txt.

Installing CMF

Assumptions

  • You want to install the latest "released" version of the PTK from a tarball.
  • You are installing the PTK "from scratch", with no previous versions of the software to replace, and no existing portals or content to migrate.
    1. Download the release tarball, and unpack it into a "software" directory. Link or move the following three subdirectories into the Products directory of your INSTANCE_HOME or SOFTWARE_HOME Zope installation:
      • PTKBase
      • PTKDemo
      • PortalTopic

      Example:

                $ cd /usr/local/zope
                $ lynx http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMF-1.0alpha/CMF-1.0alpha.tar.gz
                $ tar xzf CMF-1.0alpha.tar.gz
                $ ls CMF-1.0alpha
                $ cd /var/zope/INSTANCE_HOME/Products
                $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.0alpha/* .
      
          2. Restart your Zope;  check to see that each of the products are
             present in the Control_Panel / Products list; each should show
             a "normal" (non-broken) icon, and should have a version number
             matching the release version of the snapshot.
      
          3. Create a portal From the management interface, somewhere in the
             "main" section of your site (*not* the Control_Panel!), select
             'Portal (New)' from the add list. Fill out the form, and submit
             it. Then go to the 'Reconfigure Portal' link on the "finish" page
             to tweak any settings.
      
          4. Log out, join the portal, and start adding content. See the
             "Reviewer's guide":/PTK/doc/ReviewerGuide for a "quick start" tour.
