Installing CMF 1.3beta1

Requirements

Zope v. 2.3.3, 2.4.3 or 2.5 and later (not 2.4.2 or 2.4.1)

Assumptions

New installation
Zope configured using INSTANCE_HOME, /var/zope, and SOFTWARE_HOME, /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.3.2

Procedure

Unpack the CMF-1.3beta1.tar.gz tarball into a working directory. For instance:
```
        $ cd /usr/local/zope
        $ tar xzf /tmp/CMF-1.x.tar.gz
```

Note for Windows users: if you are using WinZip to unpack the file, be sure to disable the "TAR file smart CR/LF expansion" option (thanks to Frank McGeough for tracking down this problem!)

Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products (or into $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products). For instance:

        $ cd /var/zope/Products  # /var/zope is INSTANCE_HOME
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3beta1/CMFCore .
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3beta1/CMFDefault .
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3beta1/CMFTopic .

or, as a shortcut:

        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3beta1/CMF* .

       Since linking doesn't apply on Windows, you will need
       to cut or copy the files from the place where you unpacked
       them to the 'Products' directory of your Zope.

    3. Restart Zope; verify that the CMF products loaded
       property, by examining them in Control_Panel/Product.

    4. Create a CMF Site object. join, and begin adding content.
       Enjoy!

    *Note:* --
          the optional 'CMFDecor' product **requires** that you have
          "Zope Page Templates", http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/ZPT
          installed;  if you don't have it, then don't link/copy in
          'CMFDecor'.

Upgrading from CMF 1.0

Install the New Software.

Download the tarball.
Copy your "working" products off to one side (in case you need / choose to revert).
Unpack the tarball into a separate location; copy or link the subdirectories into the Products directory of your INSTANCE_HOME.
Restart Zope.

Configure the "Elements" tab, particularly the "Subject" element (give it "suggested" subjects, perhaps by looking at the values on the search page).

Use the "Properties" tab to enable syndication for the site (if desired), and then to configure the "sitewide" policies for outbound syndication. Once enabled, you will be able to toggle syndication and policies for individual folders as well.
