This recipe is based on collective.recipe.plonesite. It provides recipes for creating and updating Plone sites, running scripts against Plone sites and for setting their properties. If you use zeoserver, all the recipes will start and stop zeo appropriately (not stopping it if it wasnt the process that started it, for example). When combined with isotoma.recipe.zope2instance it can properly deal with errors, ending the buildout run rather than continuing and succeeding.

This recipe enables you to create and update a Plone site as part of a buildout run. This recipe only aims to run profiles and Quickinstall products. It is assumed that the install methods, setuphandlers, upgrade steps, and other recipes will handle the rest of the work.

To use it, add something like this to your recipe:

[plonesite]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.plonetools:site
products =
    LinguaPlone
    iw.fss
    you.YourProduct

site-id

The id of the Plone site that the script will create. This will also be used to update the site once created. Default: Plone

admin-user

The id of an admin user that will be used as the 'Manager'. Default: admin

products-initial

A list of products to quickinstall just after initial site creation. See above for information about the product name format¹.

profiles-inital

A list of GenericSetup profiles to run just after initial site creation. See above for informaion on the expected profile id format².

products

A list of products to quickinstall each time buildout is run. See above for information about the product name format³.

profiles

A list of GenericSetup profiles to run each time buildout is run. See above for informaion on the expected profile id format⁴.

instance

The name of the instance that will run the script. Default: instance

zeoserver

The name of the zeoserver part that should be used. This is only required if you are using a zope/zeo setup. Default: not set

before-install

A system command to execute before installing Plone. Optional. You could use this to start a Supervisor daemon to launch ZEO, instead of launching ZEO directly. You can use this option in place of the zeoserver option.

after-install

A system command to execute after installing Plone. Optional.

site-replace

Replace any existing plone site named site-id. Default: false

enabled

Option to start up the instance/zeoserver. Default: true. This can be a useful option from the command line if you do not want to start up Zope, but still want to run the complete buildout.

$ bin/buildout -Nv plonesite:enabled=false

pre-extras

An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated before running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app variable is the zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain spaces. Default: not set

post-extras

An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated after running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app variable is the zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain spaces. Default: not set

This recipe lets you set properties on a plone object as part of a buildout run.

To use this, add something like this to your recipe:

[setproperties]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.plonetools:properties
object = portal
properties = {
    "somestring": "${some:string}",
    "somebool": True,
    "somelist": [1, 2, 3,4 ],
    }

object

An object in your Zope DB to set properties on, normally a Plone site. Default: Plone

properties

A set of properties as JSON. Can accept integers, strings, booleans and lists.

instance

The name of the instance that will run the script. Default: instance

zeoserver

The name of the zeoserver part that should be used. This is only required if you are using a zope/zeo setup. Default: not set

This recipe lets you run a script against a Plone site as part of a buildout run.

To use this, add something like this to your recipe:

[runscript]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.plonetools:script
command = /path/to/script.py --site-id=Plone --other-param=${foo:bar}

command

The script to execute, and the arguments to pass to it

instance

The name of the instance that will run the script. Default: instance

zeoserver

The name of the zeoserver part that should be used. This is only required if you are using a zope/zeo setup. Default: not set

This recipe lets you create a script in your buildouts bin-directory to run a script for you under the correct zope instance.

If you have a script in mypackage.myscript:

def run():
    print "This is my test script

then add something like this to your recipe:

[instance]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.zope2instance
otherprops = here

[wrappers]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.plonetools:wrapper
instance = instance
entry-points =
   myscript=mypackage.myscript:run

entry-points

These are like the entry-points used in setuptools, in the form of wrappername=your.product.module:function

instance

The name of a zope2instance part that is used to run the script. Default: instance.

arguments

Some arguments to be passed to the entry points, as python. Default: app
