Plone | The Plone CMS : root integration package

It's simple to choose the object ID at creation time with INameChooser. But we also want to be able to choose the object ID after a clone (and avoid copy_of in object ID).

We tried several different solutions :

• subscribers on events :
  • OFS.interfaces.IObjectClonedEvent
  • zope.lifecycleevent.interfaces.IObjectAddedEvent
  • ...
• manage_afterClone method on content class

Every time, we get a traceback because we changed the ID "too soon". For example when using Plone API :

You can see projects with names like django-pipeline or django-localflavor on PyPI, but you also see plone.scale.

The former uses - (hyphen), while the latter uses . (dot).

If these projects are not well known, then they were probably used randomly and without much thought, but both of these projects are well known, but use different symbols for separating PyPI project names.

A search for 'PyPi Project Hyphen Dot' did not turn up any information about it.

Hyphen or Dot, is there a difference between these two usages, and if so, what is the difference? In what cases are they used respectively?

Special Note: This refers to the name of the release package, not the name of the import package, which cannot use - or . .

Is there any way to write a view in Plone using only Python? I found a way for forms, but what else can you build for views ? Without tal expressions

When adding dexterity content types to my Plone 5.3 instance, they do not show up in the portal navigation.

I tried ttw and with a custom product.

The catalog is up-to-date. I forced rebuilding with no success.

The behaviors added to the type are:

I'm fairly new to nginx and stuck with the current configuration.

I also checked ssl - nginx does redirect, nginx as proxy for web app, nginx proxy_pass, nginx proxy rewrite and another post related to my question.

I also looked into some other posts which didn't help me right now. I didn't read all of the approximately 21500 posts around the topics nginx and proxy.

Google also failed directing me to the solution.

Current setup is:

[CMS (Plone in LAN)]<--->[Reverse-Proxy (Apache / http://oldsite.foo)]

This is the old site setup. Basically we need a redesign of the CMS. But it has grown with plenty of dependencies and self written modules by at least two developers (who never met each other). It will be a task for merely a year to get it replaced properly. There is also some weird stuff in the Apache config, so we can't avoid using Apache at the moment.

Unfortunately we need an optical redesign as soon as we can.

So we came with the idea to use Diazo/XSLT in Nginx to redesign the old website and show our assessors some results.

Therefore I try the following setup:

[Plone]<--->[Apache]<--->[Proxy (XSLT in Nginx / https://newsite.foo)]

Here is my xslt_for_oldsite config file (Cache-Control only off for debugging):

This question is related to How to pack blobstorage with Plone and RelStorage

Using zodb database with RelStorage and sqlite as its backend I am trying to remove unused blobs. Currently db.pack does not remove the blobs from disc. The minimum working example below demonstrates this behavior:

Problem solved: When creating a Plone add-on project, make sure your add-on's name doesn't have any dashes when creating it with Mr. Bob. It took me about 3 hours to figure that out.

I intend to develop an add-on for Plone. From what I have gathered after reading the manuals, the best way to do so that is compatible with my development tools is by setting up a standalone SVN HTTP server and having Plone checkout my add-on's source code into its own directories.

Having read that, I started out by installing Mr. Bob and Plone's bobtemplates (pip install mr.bob bobtemplates.plone). Then I created on my SVN server a new directory, checked it out into a new directory in my local filesystem with svn checkout https://192.168.1.10/svn/SVN/plone-test/trunk, and initialized a new project this way:

I follow this tutorial Plone Deplayoing Nginx and created config file in NGINX:

I have a problem with my Plone item I cannot solve. 'Car' is supposed to create a list of all instances of 'Colour'. All 'Colour' instances are in a given container. I cannot make it static because I want to add more 'Colour' instances in the future. I tried selecting each item in my container and add it to my vocabularylist. I only need the id/title of my object, but I always end up with a giant stacktrace of failures. In the end I want to choose a colour out of the given instances on creating a new 'Car' instance similar to a dropdown. I have read the docs but cannot find a solution and this is my best idea. I am also not a python programmer and this is my first plone project. I can add the complete failure list later if you need it.

I appreciate every bit of help. Thank you.
