A simple help-desk style documentation product for Plone.

Project description

Overview

Plone Help Center is an application designed to aid the documentation of Plone, and is used on plone.org to categorize and keep documentation up to date. It should be usable for documenting other open source products (such as Plone Product add-ons) or even for other documentation projects.

Usage

Plone Help Center has inline documentation, just add a help center.

Requirements

PloneHelpCenter requires:

  • Plone 2.5 or later

Installation

See the Installing an Add-on Product tutorial for more detailed product installation instructions.

Optional

AddRemoveWidget – PLEASE NOTE: if AddRemoveWidget is installed as a Zope product, you must also install it in Plone. If it is present without being installed, errors will occur.

Installing with buildout

If you are using buildout to manage your instance installing Ploneboard is very simple. You can install it by adding it to the eggs line for your instance:

[instance]
eggs = Products.PloneHelpCenter

If another egg package depends on Products.Ploneboard you do not need to specify anything in the buildout configuration: buildout will detect this automatically.

After updating the configuration you need to run the ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.

Installing without buildout

Move (or symlink) the PloneHelpCenter folder of this project (Products.PloneHelpCenter/Products/PloneHelpCenter) into the Products directory of the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and restart the server.

You may also download a traditional tarball that you unpack into Products from http://plone.org/products/PloneHelpCenter .
