Detailed Documentation

Publication Product

The Publication Product can be used to organise printed publications that are available online for download. Such Publications usually have a publication date, order and ISBN numbers, an author and exist in several language versions. Once stored in the Publication Product, they can be displayed using autogenerated overviews.

Installation

• Requires

  • On Plone2.5: AdvancedQuery (http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/#AdvancedQuery) (thanks to Alin Voinea for pointing that out)

  • xpath that comes with pyxml (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6473&package_id=6541&release_id=286213) (thanks to Alin Voinea for pointing that out)

  • p4a.subtyper, p4a.common, p4a.z2utils

  • archetypes.schemaextender

  • LinguaPlone (the product might run without but I have not bothered to make the calls to LP conditional yet…)

• Put this package in your Zope’s Products directory and restart Zope

• use the QuickInstaller to add this product to your Plone site

• Optional: pdfinfo to parse pdf metadata (part of the xpdf package)

• Optional: pdftk and imagemagicks convert to generate a cover image from a pdf file

Translations

Note that the ATCT file object by default has a languageIndependent file attribute. That means that you can translate the Title and Description of a file object but not change the real file. Publications changes this behaviour for ATCT and Blob files.

LinguaPlone is patched

the file linguaplone_addTranslation_patch patches linguaplones addTranslation method. It simply adds a new event that is thrown after a translation is created but before its data is set. This is necessary because on translation we need to subtype before we can set any data, otherwise the schema will not be extended.

See the doc directory in this package.

Changelog

1.1.9 (2009-10-06)

• Chapter links now always point to the url. Normally, if you click on a link and you have edit rights, you would go to the link view and not to the link target. Since we already offer a second edit link, when somebody has edit rights, the regular link can point directly to the place the link points to. (gerken)

• Refactored the Chapter Update functionality. It is not a method any longer but a class. That way one can modify the behaviour without the need to copy the complete functionality (gerken)

1.1.8 (2009-09-30)

• Hide the JS-scanner induced PDF icon from the Related publications list on the publication’s view (jcbrand)

1.1.7 (2009-09-15)

• Add try,except to decouple from Products.LinguaPlone (jcbrand)

• don’t display a JS-scanner–induced PDF-icon in front of the publication’s title (thomasw)

1.1.6 (2009-08-26)

• Add remove_additionals event handler in adapter/events.py and register it via zcml for IObjectRemovedEvent (jcbrand)

• Edited the object_added event: removed the code that sets translation references, it has been superseded by slc.autotranslate. (jcbrand)

• Removed _findAbbrev in adapter/events.py, it’s no longer being called (jcbrand)

• Added a new doctest file events.txt to test for the above actions. (jcbrand)

1.1.5 (2009-08-13)

• enhanced setuphandlers.py (together with import_steps.xml and config.py) to automatically install dependencies. (jcbrand)

• remove explicit blob checking in adapter/publication.py and instead do it via zcml, i.e zcml:condition=”installed plone.app.blob” (jcbrand)

• modified addTranslation patch to return the translated item as is done in of LinguaPlone >= 2.3 (jcbrand)

• various new translations have been added (thomasw)

1.1.4 (2009-07-26)

• have links to publication language versions open in a new window (pilz)

1.1.3 (2009-07-03)

• changed the link format for the EU Bookshop to fit the new guideline (thomasw)

• Make ‘related content’ box look like the ‘related publications’ box (jcbrand)
