About Mastering Plone This training was created by Philip Bauer and Patrick Gerken of starzel.de to create a canonical training for future Plone developers. The aim is that anyone with the appropriate knowledge can give a training based on it and contribute to it. It is published as Open Source on github and training.plone.org. If you want to inquire the original authors about organizing a training please contact them at [email protected]. Upcoming Trainings If you want to have a training near you please ask for trainings on https://community.plone.org Previous Trainings The Mastering Plone Training was so far held publicly at the following occasions: Ploneconf 2016 in Boston October 2015, Bucharest March 2015, Munich Plone Conference 2014, Bristol June 2014, Caracas May 2014, Munich PythonBrasil/Plone Conference 2013, Brasilia PyCon DE 2012, Leipzig Plone Conference 2012, Arnheim PyCon De 2011, Leipzig 3 Plone Training Documentation, Publicación 1.2.5a Trainers The following trainers have given trainings based on Mastering Plone: Philip Bauer Philip Bauer is a web developer from Munich who fell in love with Plone in 2005 and since then works almost exclusively with Plone. A historian by education he drifted towards creating websites in the 90’s and founded the company Starzel.de in 2000. He is a member of the Plone foundation, loves teaching and is dedicated to Open Source. Among other Plone-related projects he started creating the Mastering Plone Training so that everyone can become a Plone-Developer. Patrick Gerken Patrick Gerken works with Python since 2002. He started working with pure Zope applications and now develops mainly with Plone, Pyramid and Javascript as well as doing what is called DevOps. He works at Zumtobel Group. Steve McMahon Steve McMahon is a long-time Plone community member, contributor and trainer. He is the creator of PloneFormGen and maintainer of the Unified installer. Steve also wrote several chapters of Practical Plone and is an experienced speaker and instructor. Steffen Lindner Steffen Lindner started developing Plone in 2006. He worked on small Plone sites and also with huge intranet sites. As Open Source / Free Software developer he joined the Plone core developer team 2011 and works at Starzel.de. Fulvio Casali Fulvio Casali has been working almost exclusively with Plone since 2008. He struggled for years to find his way around the source code of Plone when there was no documentation and no trainings, and feels passionate about helping users and developers become proficient. He loves participating in Plone community events, and organized two strategic Plone sprints on the northwest coast of the USA and helped galvanized the developer community there. Johannes Raggam Johannes Raggam from Graz/Austria works most of the time with a technology stack based around Python, Plone, Pyramid and Javascript. As an active Open Source / Free Software developer he be- lieves in the power of collaborative work. He is a BlueDynamics Alliance Partner and Plone Core Contributor since 2009, a member of the Plone Framework Team since 2012 and Plone Foundation member. Franco Pellegrini Franco Pellegrini is a software developer from Cordoba, Argentina. He started developing Plone in 2005 in a small software company, and as an independent contractor since 2011. He believes in free software philosophy, and so, he has been a Plone core developer since 2010 and Framework Team member since 2012. Fred van Dijk Fred, from Rotterdam the Netherlands, has been exposed to Plone early on as a user. In 2007 he joined Zest Software to work on and with Plone and Python web apps full time. He can focus on the business side, helping users decide on which features are most valuable to develop or when to stick with standard functionality. He also gives training on using and administering the CMS. On the IT side he has plenty technical knowledge to work on code, system administration and do project management in a team of developers. Leonardo Caballero Leonardo J. Caballero G. of Maracaibo, Venezuela, is a Technical Director at Covantec R.L. and Conectivo C.A. Leonardo maintains the Spanish translations of more than 49 Plone Add-ons as well as Spanish-language documentation for Plone itself. He has contributed several Plone Add-ons that are part of PloneGov. Currently serving the Plone Board as a Plone Ambassador, Leonardo has also served as an Advisory Board member and has spoken at or helped organize Plone and open-source events throughout South America. Using the documentation for a training Feel free to organize a training yourself. Please be so kind to contribute any bug fixes or enhancements you made to the documentation for your training. The training is rendered using sphinx and builds in two flavors: default The verbose version used for the online documentation and for the trainer. Build it in sphinx with make html or use the online version. 4 Capítulo 1. About Plone Trainings Plone Training Documentation, Publicación 1.2.5a presentation A abbreviated version used for the projector during a training. It should use more bullet points than verbose text. Build it in sphinx with make presentation. Nota: By prefixing an indented block of text or code with .. only:: presentation you can control that this block is used for the presentation version only. To hide a block from the presentation version use .. only:: not presentation Content without a prefix will be included in both versions. The readthedocs theme We slightly tweaked readthedocs theme in _static/custom.css so that it works better with projectors: We start hiding the navigation bar much earlier so that it does not interfere with the text. We enlarge the default width of the content-area. Exercises Some additional javascript shows hidden solutions for exercises by clicking. Just prepend the solution with this markup: .. admonition:: Solution :class: toggle Here is a full example: Exercise1 ^^^^^^^^^^ Your mission, should you choose to accept it... .. admonition:: Solution :class: toggle To save the world with only seconds to spare do the following: .. code-block:: python from plone import api It will be rendered like this: Exercise 1 Your mission, should you choose to accept it... Solution To save the world with only seconds to spare do the following: 1.1. About Mastering Plone 5 Plone Training Documentation, Publicación 1.2.5a from plone import api Building the documentation locally Dependencies Please make sure that you have Enchant installed, this is needed for spell-checking. Install Enchant on OS X: brew install enchant Install Enchant on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install enchant To build the documentation follow these steps: $ git clone https://github.com/plone/training.git --recursive $ cd training $ virtualenv --python=python2.7 . $ source bin/activate Now install dependencies and build. $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ make html You can now open the output from _build/html/index.html. To build the presentation version use make presentation instead of make html. You can open the presentation at presentation/index.html. Build new $ git clone https://github.com/plone/training.git --recursive $ cd training $ virtualenv --python=python2.7 . $ source bin/activate $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ make html Now you can open documentation with your web-bowser. If you use OS X you can just do: $ open _build/html/index.html In the case of Linux, Ubuntu for example you can do: $ firefox _build/html/index.html Nota: If you do not use Firefox but Chrome, please replace firefox with google-chrome e.g 6 Capítulo 1. About Plone Trainings Plone Training Documentation, Publicación 1.2.5a $ google-chrome _build/html/index.html Update existing $ git pull $ source bin/activate $ make html $ open _build/html/index.html Technical set up to do before a training (as a trainer) Prepare a mailserver for the user registration mail (See Configure a Mailserver) If you do only a part of the training (Advanced) prepare a database with the steps of the previous sections. Be aware that the file- and blobstorage in the Vagrant box is here: /home/vagrant/var/ (not at the buildout path /vagrant/buildout/) Upgrade the vagrant and buildout to a new Plone-version In https://github.com/collective/training_buildout change buildout.cfg to extend from the new versions.cfg on http://dist.plone.org/release Check if we should to update any versions in https://github.com/collective/training_buildout/blob/master/ versions.cfg Commit and push the changes to the training_buildout Modify the vagrant-setup by modifying plone_training_config/manifests/plone.pp. Set the new Plone-version as $plone_version in line 3. Test the vagrant-setup it by creating a new vagrant-box using the new config. Create a new zip-file of all files in plone_training_config and move it to _static: $ cd plone_training_config $ zip -r plone_training_config.zip * $ mv plone_training_config.zip ../_static/ Commit and push the changes to https://github.com/plone/training Train the trainer If you are a trainer there is a special mini training about giving technical trainings. We really want this material to be used, re-used, expanded and improved by Plone trainers world wide. These chapters don’t contain any Plone specific advice, there’s background, theory, check lists and tips for anyone trying to teach technical subjects. ../trainthetrainer/index Contributing Everyone is very welcome to contribute.

The Application of Drupal to Website Development in Academic Libraries Cristina Tofan Eastern Kentucky University Libraries 1. Introduction Academic libraries think very carefully about how they design their website, because the website is the primary avenue to provide access to resources, do library instruction, promote collections, services and events, and connect with students, faculty and potential donors. Library websites are expected to be able to respond to two major types of needs: to offer high functionality to the patrons, and to allow librarians and library staff to participate in the un‐intermediated creation and publication of content. Web content management systems are software systems that provide tools for both. In the realm of open source content management systems, Drupal has the lead compared to other systems, in its adoption in libraries.

  • State of Plone 4 and 5
    Stability versus new features STATE OF PLONE 4 AND 5 STATE OF PLONE 4 AND 5 Maurits van Rees, Dec 7 2020 PLONE CONFERENCE Hello everyone. I will be presenting the State of Plone 4 and 5. As a general theme throughout this talk I will focus on stability versus new features. WHO AM I? Maurits van Rees Netherlands -> Belgium Zest Software, Netherlands 15 years Plone Security Team Release Team I have lived in The Netherlands for most of my life. Two years ago I moved to Belgium, where I got married with Fiorella, the lovely lady on the right. And there is my daughter Nika and since 15 October I have a sonTobias. Since the beginning of 2020 I am the second release manager. The idea is that I focus on the current versions of Plone, getting regular, stable releases out. Since then I made four Plone releases: 4.3.20, 5.1.7, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3. I will talk a bit about those. https://plone.org/download/release-schedule But one of the first things that I did, was to create a Plone release schedule. This was inspired by the Django release schedule. Django has it a bit easier, because its core is only one package, where Plone has lots. So the Plone release schedule is by nature less predictable. You can fine the schedule at https://plone.org/download/release-schedule This is the place to go when you are looking for information on what is the latest version within a Plone release, and is this Plone release still supported, and how long will it be supported.

Since its release in 1998, Zope continues to grow into many distinct applications, frameworks, libraries and tools. The World of Zope highlights the most important components. Zope community projects are hosted in the Zope Foundation organization on GitHub. Contents 1 Zope Project and Community Documentation 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 The World of Zope A Bit of History In 1996 Jim Fulton, now Zope Corporation CTO, was drafted to teach a class on common gateway interface (CGI) programming, despite not knowing very much about the subject. CGI programming is a commonly-used web development model that allows developers to construct dynamic web sites. Traveling to the class, Jim studied all the existing documentation on CGI. On the way back, Jim considered what he didn’t like about traditional CGI- based programming environments. From these initial musings the core of Zope was written while flying back from the CGI class. Zope Corporation (then known as Digital Creations) went on to release three open-source software packages to support web publishing: Bobo, Document Template, and BoboPOS. These packages were written in a language called Python, and provided a web publishing facility, text templating, and an object database, respectively.

Using an object-relational mapping is not like using an object database. • almost no seam between code and database. • Relationships between objects are handled very naturally, supporting complex object graphs without joins. Check out the Tutorial! ZODB runs on Python 2.7 or Python 3.4 and above. It also runs on PyPy. Contents 1 ZODB documentation and articles 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Learning more 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Transactions Transactions make programs easier to reason about. Transactions are atomic Changes made in a transaction are either saved in their entirety or not at all. This makes error handling a lot easier. If you have an error, you just abort the current transaction. You don’t have to worry about undoing previous database changes. Transactions provide isolation Transactions allow multiple logical threads (threads or processes) to access databases and the database prevents the threads from making conflicting changes. This allows you to scale your application across multiple threads, processes or machines without having to use low-level locking primitives. You still have to deal with concurrency on some level. For timestamp-based systems like ZODB, you may have to retry conflicting transactions.
