RE: Defining the page a user goes to after login.

Good day,

Thx for your response, think I will wait a bit longer and try to rephrase my
question once again....

Greetings,
Tom

Document Control - Setting up permissions/access

I am testing Plone with the intent to use it for document control.  I'm
having a bit of trouble wading through the various (and sometimes
incomplete) instructions on how to implement what I'm trying to do.  I'm
hoping that someone here could help me out.  Here's what I'm trying to do:

1 - Have the contents of the entire site ONLY viewable if logged in.  No
anonymous access.

2 - Have a top level folder called "Work Instructions".  Within that folder
would, for instance, be 3 subfolders: Dept A, Dept B, Dept C.

3 - Have an individual Group setup that can access each subfolder.  For
instance, Group A can access ONLY Dept A subfolder, Group B accesses only
Dept B subfolder, etc.

4 - Allow individuals on a case-by-case basis who may not be a member of a
given group to have access to one or specific pages with the subfolder.  For
instance, Mary, who is a member of Group B, needs to have access to
Instruction 1 which resides in the Dept A subfolder.  She would not have
access to anything else in the Dept A subfolder.

5 - Allow any page that is under revision to be held in an unpublished state
where it not visible to the general logged in user.  It would only be
available to a select group who would be responsible for
creating/reviewing/approving the document.  Once published, it would be
available to all users who have the appropriate access.

I realize these may be elementary questions, but I've not been able to find
documentation that accurately guides me through it.  It seems to come in

3.1.5 - 3.2.2 Upgrade. Windows

Want to upgrade from plone 3.1.5 to 3.2.2 so followed notes to do a fresh
install and copy across data.fs from old site. Fresh install went fine, new
site looked OK and version told me 3.2.2.
However when I copy across data.fs from old site, my old site appears OK but
version is now telling me 3.1.5.
Not sure where I am now and whether I can continue to investigate the new
'buildout' funcyionality in 3.2.2

Larry,

You'll need to get into your ZMI and go to: <yourSiteName 
Here>/portal_migration and run the upgrade on your old site.

Installing Plone in a virtual machine

Re: Installing Plone in a virtual machine

Looks like a problem I had once - see issue "Executing the command
'bootstrap.py' failed"

In a nutshell: the internet connection was the problem.

Re: Installing Plone in a virtual machine

Thank you for the advice. I found the thread you refer to.

I do have connection problems in the virtual machine, so solving that may be
the solution then. I'll try fixing that and then reinstall Plone.

Regards,
Lars

Re: Installing Plone in a virtual machine

Hello again - just wanted to notify you all, enabling Internet connection did
indeed solve the problem! I have now successfully installed Plone 3.2.2 in
my virtual PC.

Lars

Re: Installing Plone

Lee,

I've interleaved some responses to your individual questions below:

That's okay, we're here to help :)

If you are on a Windows or Mac OS X Platform, you can download the
installers listed here:
  http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/3.2.2
Remember, for one-click installation you need to use either the Windows or
the Mac OS X installer, not the 'unified installer'.  In either case, once
the installer package has finished downloading to your local machine, simply
click on the installer (in the Mac case, it's an .mpkg, in the window's case
it's an .exe file).  From there, an installation wizard will walk you
through everything.  At the end you should end up with a nice GUI
application that lets you click to start up Plone.

As with most *nix type packages, complete instructions are contained in the
file 'README.txt' file in the main package folder, you'll see it if you look
inside the folder that was created when you unpacked the package after
downloading.

The Unified Installer, as mentioned above, is _not_ a one-click system.  It
requires a bit of knowledge of command-line operations.  If you are not
familiar with package managers and how to use them, I'd suggest that you
stick with the one-click installers for now.  There's plenty of time to
learn about rpm, apt, fink, macports or any other packaging system once you
have a bit more under your belt.  'Till then, use the one-click installer
and have fun!

Actually, that view is pretty widespread even among the folks who work with
plone all the time.  We have a strong push going on to create more
newbie-friendly documentation, including pathways through documentation that
help you to understand what you should read first.  These should help you to
get started more easily.  In the meantime, please don't give up :)  We're
pretty friendly here and someone is always willing to lend a hand.

I hope this helps straighten some things out for you,

Cris
