Creating an educational Plone website using zc.buildout

Here is a configuration file for zc.buildout that helps you to setup a Plone 3 instance with some additional add-ons useful for an educational website:

  • CMFBibliographyAT 1.0 (SVN)
  • FacultyStaffDirectory 2.0
  • Reflecto 1.2
  • TextIndexNG 3.2.1
  • FileSystemStorage (enabled for File type)
  • ZWiki 0.6
  • FCKEditor 2.4.6
  • PloneFormGen 1.2.0
  • LinguaPlone 2.1

Some notes

  • all components are optional and can be installed/used individually
  • components like ZWiki or FCKeditor give you an additional choice over a similiar functionality provided by Plone itself
  • Using this configuration happens on your own risk.  Support for individual packages is either given through the authors of the packages or through the Plone community (see plone.org/support)

Download and building

  • Download the buildout.cfg configuration file (http://svn-public.zopyx.com/viewvc/zope-projects/edu/buildout/buildout.cfg?view=co)
  • Run buildout (requires the installation of zc.buildout (e.g. using easy_install zc.buildout))
  • After some minutes you can start your Zope instance using bin/instance fg
  • Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/manage_main and login with username admin and password admin
  • From the Add menu choose Plone site
  • For further information refer to the various Plone documentations on plone.org/documentation
