Installation

To install toolbar drop following lines to your buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3rc1/versions.cfg
versions = versions
parts = instance

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
user = admin:admin
http-address = 7000
eggs =
    Pillow
    Plone
    plone.app.widgets[archetypes]
    plone.app.toolbar
zcml =
    plone.app.toolbar

[versions]
plone.app.jquery = 1.8.3
plone.app.widgets = 0.2
plone.app.toolbar = 1.2

Bellow version pins are for Plone version 4.3rc1 or higher.

Make sure you install the “Plone Toolbar” profile when creating your Plone site or include plone.app.toolbar:default profile in your metadata.xml..

To start developing plone.app.toolbar you can find buildout at buildout.deco repository.:

https://github.com/plone/buildout.deco/blob/master/toolbar.cfg

Diazo rules

First we need to copy toolbar’s html code:

<append theme="/html/body"
    content="//div[@data-iframe='plone-toolbar']" />

Then in case we are not copying all resources from Plone (content) to theme we have to include resources as well:

<append theme="/html/head">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
        href="++resource++plone.app.toolbar_init.css"/>
    <script type="text/javascript"
        src="++resource++plone.app.toolbar_init.js"></script>
</append>

Above 2 rules should be enough so that your theme will support plone.app.toolbar.
