bobtemplates.plone 1.0.1

Templates for Plone projects.

Introduction

bobtemplates.plone provides a mr.bob template to generate packages for Plone projects.

To create a package like collective.myaddon:

$ pip install bobtemplates.plone
$ mrbob -O collective.myaddon bobtemplates:plone_addon

You can also create a package with nested namespace:

$ mrbob -O collective.foo.myaddon bobtemplates:plone_addon

Options

On creating a package you can choose from the following options. The default value is in [square brackets]:

Package Type? [Basic]

Options are Basic, Dexterity and Theme.

Author’s email

Package description [An add-on for Plone]

Plone version [4.3.7]

Which Plone version would you like to use?

Features

Package created with bobtemplates.plone use the current best-practices when creating an addon.

Buildout

The package is contained in a buildout that allows you to build Plone with the new package installed for testing-purposes.

Tests

The package comes with a test setup and some tests for installing the package. It also contains a robot-test that tests logging in. The buildout also contains a config to allow testing the package on travis that sends notifications by email to the package autor.

Profile

The package contains a Generic Setup Profile that installs a browserlayer. For Plone 5 it also contains a uninstall-profile.

Locales

The package registers a directory for locales.

Template-Overrides

The package registers the folder browser/overrides as a directory where you can drop template-overrides using z3c.jbot.

Setuphandler

The package contains a setuphandlers.py where you can add code that is executed on installing the package. For Plone 5 there is also a method in setuphandler.py that is run on uninstalling.

The package-types Dexterity and Theme add the following to Basic:

Dexterity

Adds a simple content-type (you get asked about its name) in profiles/default/types/ with a python-schema in interfaces.py.

Theme

Adds a simple bootstrap-based Diazo theme in the folder theme/ and registers it in profiles/default/theme.xml

Compatibility

Addons created with bobtemplates.plone are tested to work in Plone 4.3.x and Plone 5. They should also work with older versions but that was not tested. It should work on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Installation

Use in a buildout

[buildout]
parts += mrbob

[mrbob]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
    mr.bob
    bobtemplates.plone

This creates a mrbob-executeable in your bin-directory. Call it from the src-directory of your Plone project like this.:

$ ../bin/mrbob -O collective.foo bobtemplates:plone_addon

Installation in a virtualenv

You can also install bobtemplates.plone in a virtualenv.:

$ pip install bobtemplates.plone

With pip 6.0 or newer mr.bob will automatically be installed as a dependency. If you still use a older version of pip you need install mr.bob before bobtemplates.plone.:

$ pip install mr.bob

Now you can use it like this:

$ mrbob -O collective.foo bobtemplates:plone_addon

See mr.bob documentation for further information.
