Products.CMFPlomino 1.18.3

Create specific applications in Plone without developing. Created by Makina Corpus.

Introduction

Plomino is a powerful and flexible web-based application builder for Plone.

Features

• create your own custom applications from a web interface without programming

• create and design forms in WYSIWYG mode

• easily embed charts or maps

• create specific actions with formula (compute fields, send emails, …)

• adapt the application behaviour depending on the user access rights and roles

• import/export your application structure and/or your application data, including replication between Plomino instances

Positioning

Plomino is a through-the-web application builder, hence:

• it is not a through-the-web content-type builder like Dexterity, which is perfect to create a custom content type but that will always stick to the standard content management scenario, while Plomino allows to implement any custom scenarios,

• it is not just a form generator like PloneFormGen, as Plomino provides all the services (data storage, search, automation, import/export, etc.) to build an entire application. Regarding form generation itself, a major difference with PloneFormGen is that Plomino allows to edit the form layout entirely, while PloneFormGen use a fixed pre-defined form layout.

Resources and documentation

Screencasts and how-tos are available on http://www.plomino.net/ .

Plomino documentation is available on ReadTheDocs.

Note: if you think something is missing in the documentation, please send your pull request at https://github.com/plomino/PlominoDoc .

Internationalization

Plomino itself is internationalized and translated in seven languages. Applications built with Plomino can be internationalized (see the related documentation).

Installation

To deploy Plomino, you need to edit your buildout.cfg file and add the following in the eggs section:

eggs =
     ...
     Products.CMFPlomino

Then you have to run buildout to realize your configuration:

bin/buildout -N

Installation on Plone 4.0 and 4.1

If you’re using Plone version older than 4.2 you’ll need to add some more directives to your buildout.cfg. Plomino depends on plone.app.registry and plomino.tinymce requires Products.TinyMCE>=1.2.13. To make Plomino work on pre-4.2 Plone sites you need to pin those versions in your versions.cfg section:

Products.TinyMCE=1.2.13
collective.js.jqueryui=1.8.16.9

and use a known good set for plone.app.registry.

This means extending your buildout from:

http://good-py.appspot.com/release/plone.app.registry/1.0b2?plone=4.0.9

replacing 4.0.9 with the actual version you need.

Support

You can find support on the freenode IRC channel #plomino or using the GitHub issue tracker

Tests

Plomino is continuously tested on Travis and the code coverage is tracked on coveralls.io .
