collective.project 0.9.3

Formerly Products.project, this package aims for "simple" project management with 4 (Dexterity) content types added to Plone: Client, Project, Iteration, and Task.

Introduction

Formerly Products.project, this package aims for “simple” project management with the addition of 4 new content types to Plone: client, project, iteration, and task (requires Dexterity). It also includes a tool to automate creation of iterations. Finally, there is a project workflow for client, project, and iteration that contains active/inactive state(s).

Installation

To install collective.project using zc.buildout, you can do this:

• Add collective.dexterity to the list of instance eggs, e.g.:

  [instance]
  ...
  eggs =
      ...
      collective.project

• Add http://good-py.appspot.com/release/dexterity/1.0a2 to the list of buildout extends, e.g.:

  [buildout]
  ...
  extends =
      ...
      http://good-py.appspot.com/release/dexterity/1.0a2

  For more information about how to install Dexterity, please see: http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/how-to/install.

• Add collective.project to the list of instance eggs, e.g.:

  [instance]
  ...
  eggs =
      ...
      collective.project

• For Plone 3.2.x and under, tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

  [instance]
  recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
  ...
  zcml =
      collective.project

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file, or if you are using Plone 3.3.x or higher.
