NuPlone 5.0.0

A new user interface for Plone

Introduction

This package implements a new user interface for Plone. The design goals for this user interface are:

• support a single form toolkit well instead of multiple toolkits reasonably well. The chosen form toolkit is z3c.form.

• Do not store application configuration in the ZODB, but use simple .ini-style textfiles.

• One Zope - one site. No support for multiple sites in a single instance.

• Use tiles everywhere. No viewlets, portlets or other concepts.

• Only support one way to create pages: browser views. CMF skins are explicitly not supported.

• Use documented markup patterns to add behaviour to pages. No KSS or page-specific javascript.

• Minimal markup, move complexity to standard and documented CSS.

Disclaimer

Although the name of this package may suggest otherwise there is little relation between this package and the old NuPlone plone theme.

Compatibility

NuPlone 5.x is meant to be used with Plone 6.1 and Python >= 3.10.

NuPlone 4.x is meant to be used with Plone 6.0 or Plone 6.1 and Python >= 3.9.
