A collection of skeletons for quickstarting Zope projects.

Project description

Introduction

ZopeSkel provides a collection of skeletons for quickstarting Zope and Plone projects.

All skeletons are available as PasteScript templates and can be used via the ‘’paster’’ commandline tool. For example to create a package for a Plone 3 theme you can do:

paster create -t plone3_theme

this will ask a few questions such as desired package name and a description and output a complete package skeleton that you can immediately start using.

Please contribute by submitting patches for what you consider ‘best of breed’ file layouts for starting Zope projects.

Available templates

Development templates

plone

This is a small template which creates a bare bones package with a single namespace. This can be used to create plone.* packages for example.

plone_app

This is a small template which creates a bare bones package with a nested namespace. This can be used to create plone.app.* packages for example.

plone3_portlet

Creates a package with a new portlet. This includes everything needed to register the portlet in Plone and tests which check if the portlet can be added, edited and rendered properly.

plone2_theme

A template to create a new Zope 2 products for a Plone 2.1 or Plone 2.5 site. If you are targetting Plone 3 please use the plone3_theme template instead.

plone2.5_theme

A template to create a new Zope 2 products for Plone 2.5 site. If you are targetting Plone 3 please use the plone3_theme template instead.

plone3_theme

This template creates a theme package for Plone 3.0. This is the succesor to the popular DIYPloneStyle product.

recipe

This template creates a recipe skeleton for zc.buildout.

Hosting / deployment templates

plone2.5_buildout

A basic buildout based instance for Plone 2.5 projects. If you also need ZEO or caching take a look at the plone_hosting template.

plone3_buildout

A basic buildout based instance for Plone 3.0.x projects. If you also need ZEO or caching take a look at the plone_hosting template.

plone_hosting

This template creates a buildout-based Plone deployment. It supports all Plone 2.5 and 3.0 versions: it will ask you for the desired Plone version.

If you configure a proxy port a varnish cache server will be installed and configured as well.

To manage the ZEO server, Zope instance and, if chosen, Varnish server a simple ‘’bin/control’’ script is created which can be used to quickly start, stop and restart the entire Plone deployment.

Changelog

Version 1.4

  • Set the version number for plone.recipe.plone in a new versions part in buildout.cfg. That works around a buildout bug: buildout breaks if you change the revision pin for a recipe. [wichert]

  • Fixed bug: when running ‘paster create’ with –no-interactive option, the package variable given in the command line is ignored. [Mustapha]

Version 1.3.4

  • Added MANIFEST.in to prevent bad releases from svn exports. [fschulze]

Version 1.3.3

  • Move to the newly released Varnish 1.1.2. [wichert]

  • Remove bad import which broke localcommand support. [deo]

  • Remove unneeded imports and whitespace cleanup. [deo]

Version 1.3.2

  • Small fix in plone3_theme that did not install correctly with easy_install because of some files missing the the egg informations. [davconvent]

Version 1.3.1

  • Updated to Plone 3.0.4. [fschulze]

  • Rerelease because of a bad egg. [fschulze]

Version 1.3

  • added the recipe template [tarek]

  • Add Plone 2.5.5. [wichert]

Version 1.2

  • Merge a slightly stripped down version of the Jarn Plone hosting template. This provides a convenient way to create a buildout for all Plone 2.5 and 3.0 versions with ZEO and optional Varnish based caching. [wichert]
