collective.recipe.plonesite 1.6.3

A buildout recipe to create and update a plone site

Introduction
============

This recipe enables you to create and update a Plone site as part of a
buildout run. This recipe only aims to run profiles and Quickinstall
products. It is assumed that the install methods, setuphandlers, upgrade
steps, and other recipes will handle the rest of the work.

Detailed Documentation
**********************

Options
=======

.. [1] Profiles have the following format: ``<package_name>:<profile>``
(e.g. ``my.package:default``). The profile can also be prepended
with the ``profile-`` if you so choose
(e.g. ``profile-my.package:default``).

.. [2] The product name is typically **not** the package name such as
``Products.MyProduct``, but just the product name ``MyProduct``.
Quickest way to find out the name that is expected is to
'inspect' the Quickinstaller page and see what value it is
passing in.

site-id
The id of the Plone site that the script will create. This will
also be used to update the site once created. Default: Plone

container-path
The path (relative from Zope root) to the container that should hold the
Plone site.
Default: ``\``

admin-user
The id of an admin user that will be used as the ``Manager``.
Default: ``admin``

default-language
The default language of the Plone site.
Default: ``en``

products-initial
A list of products to quick install just after initial site
creation. See above for information about the product name
format [2]_.

profiles-initial
A list of GenericSetup profiles to run just after initial site
creation. See above for information on the expected profile id
format [1]_.

products
A list of products to quick install each time buildout is run. See
above for information about the product name format [2]_.

profiles
A list of GenericSetup profiles to run each time buildout is run.
See above for information on the expected profile id format [1]_.

instance
The name of the instance that will run the script.
Default: instance

zeoserver
The name of the ``zeoserver`` part that should be used. This is
only required if you are using a zope/zeo setup. Default: not set

before-install
A system command to execute before installing Plone. You could use
this to start a Supervisor daemon to launch ZEO, instead of
launching ZEO directly. You can use this option in place of the
zeoserver option. Default: not set

after-install
A system command to execute after installing Plone.
Default: not set

site-replace
Replace any existing plone site named ``site-id``. Default: false

enabled
Option to start up the instance/zeoserver. Default: true. This can
be a useful option from the command line if you do not want to
start up Zope, but still want to run the complete buildout.

$ bin/buildout -Nv plonesite:enabled=false

pre-extras
An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated
before running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple
files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app
variable is the Zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as
defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain
spaces. Default: not set

post-extras
An absolute path to a file with python code that will be evaluated
after running Quickinstaller and GenericSetup profiles. Multiple
files can be given. Two variables will be available to you. The app
variable is the Zope root. The portal variable is the plone site as
defined by the site-id option. NOTE: file path cannot contain
spaces. Default: not set

host
A hostname used in VirtualHostMonster traversal. This will set the
root URL for the `portal` variable in any `pre-extras` or `post-extras`
scripts. Default: not set

protocol
Either 'http' or 'https' for a VirtualHostMonster path. Requires the
host option be set. Default: http

port
Port for the Zope site used in a VirtualHostMonster path. Requires the
host option be set. Default: 80

Example
=======

Here is an example buildout.cfg with the plonesite recipe::

[buildout]
parts =
zope2
instance
zeoserver
plonesite

[zope2]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
...

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
eggs =
...
my.package
my.other.package

zcml =
...
my.package
my.other.package

[zeoserver]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver
...

[plonesite]
recipe = collective.recipe.plonesite
site-id = test
instance = instance
zeoserver = zeoserver
profiles-initial = my.package:initial
profiles =
my.package:default
my.other.package:default
post-extras =
${buildout:directory}/my_script.py
pre-extras =
${buildout:directory}/my_other_script.py
host = www.mysite.com
protocol = https
port = 443


Example with Plone 4 content enabled
====================================

Here is another example buildout.cfg with the plone4site recipe::

[buildout]
parts =
...
plone4site

[plone4site]
recipe = collective.recipe.plonesite
site-id = test
instance = instance
zeoserver = zeoserver
# Create default plone content like News, Events...
profiles-initial =
Products.CMFPlone:plone-content
my.package:initial
profiles =
my.package:default
my.other.package:default

need a fixed site id then explictely set the id using
the ``site-id`` option.
[ajung]

- Fixed error with uninitialized variable
[jeffk]

- Add buildout recipe option site-replace, defaults to
off. Use with ``site-id``.
