You can say::

  svn export https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/PlonePAS/trunk PlonePAS

to get the latest sources. Then put it in the Products directory.

help... (navigation issue)

Hi all,

I've been working on this site since May and we are nearing completion 
of the first phase (it's  a rather complicated site.. lots of backend 
coding and requirements).
This is the site that wanted nested blogs.. which I conquered btw.. yay 
for me :-)..

That said.. I'm working on Plone 2.0.5 mainly because with some 
remaining migration issues in 2.1 I don't want to mess with what we have 
at the moment.. with two weeks til launch I really just need to finish 
up and move on to phase 2 or version two of this site (which I may need 
help with btw.. but no firm timeline on start of phase 2)

So here is the problema I'm wrestling with...

I need to be able to use the navigation-tree-portlet to generate a 
vertical nav with horizontal nav for the subdirectories..  and only in 
one section of the site.. (aka advisor for this site)

see http://demo5.csquaredtech.com/advisor/401k/

so my solution so far has been this...

I created a horizontal slot (thanks to an awesome how to on slot 
creation in the documentation area) I added the navigation tree slot to 
that slot.. and there you go..
I have a navigation that can be updated through the plone interface. 
which is a requirement for this client.. as they add more companies to 
their 401k advisor they want to add it to his secondary nav.. and they

Re: Override site wide syndication

This will work on types which define their own syndication tabs.  In plone 2.0 
the default syndication tab was classified as a 'folder' action, which meant 
it only appeared on types which were listed in the use_folder_tabs property 
from site_properties, any other types defined it on the type, on such objects 
setting it in moodify_fti would work.  In 2.1 it is an 'object' action and 
applies to all folderish objects, however it is invisible by default and 
enabled explicitly only for Smart Folders.

It's a little tricky to know what you need since your description is quite  
long-winded and I've just finished my 90-page dissertation, but I'll try...

I wouldn't necessarily try to (ab-)use the navtree. It is a rather  
difficult piece of code to wrestle with. Look at http://nanobusiness.org -  
do the navigation elements (left column, drop-downs at the top) there do  
what you want? These are pulled from the site structure (which is good  
information architecture, though some clients are more particular about  
their layout... for those PloneExtendedNavigation may be worth checking  
out), so anyhting at the top is generated from the folder /info and the  
left column from /services. I wrote a how-to outlining how I did this:

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/custom-navigation

The basic idea is that you have a script which pulls the site structure  
out and puts it in a data structure, and a page template snippet (which  
I've put in a template and metal:include-macro'd into my main_template) to  
generate an appropriate structure (nested <ul>'s in my case) which is then  
styled with CSS. Try looking at that.

As for ExtendedPathIndex, this would allow you to do the same but using a  
catalog query, which is much more efficient. The 2.0 navtree and my code

Alter plone default title - remove mdash

The default title for a page in Plone seems to be "document title mdash site 
title". I did a bit of searching but can't figure out how to change this. 
Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Cameron

Folder for holding all the news items!

I had a folder called 'News' with a shortname 'news_item' that is 
holding all the published and visible news in my root of plone instance. 
I didn't publish the folder for news as I don't want anonymous to see it 
anywhere. If I go to the website as anonymous, I won't see the folder 
'News' in the navtree which is good. If I click on the portal_tab 'News' 
on the top of my site, I will see all the published news in my site. 
However, if I click on the button 'Read More' under the news highlight, 
the folder 'News' will appear in the navigation bar. Once I clicked on 
the folder and open it up, anonymous can see everything under that 
folder no matter the news is published or not. 'News' type is using 
'plone_workflow' as default workflow that is allowing anonymous to view. 
I tried to deselected the checkbox for anonymous to view the news in 
visible state, but as a result there is no news will show up without login.

Is there anyway I can use a folder to hold all the news and only allow 
anonymous to see the news has been published?

Thanks.

Restructured Text

Hi,

I've asked a general question about this before but I'm ready to try 
customising myself.

Unfortunately upgrading to 2.1 isn't currently an option as we have custom 
products which will need updating first.

I see that in the Zope 2.7.7 release there are several restructured text 
related files. As a novice (but learning) Python programmer, where can I find 
the functions to parse restructured text, and how do I import them into a 
current script?

Thanks,
Gareth

Microsoft IIS and port 80 fix

I've just managed to solve an issue with a plone installation on a
Windows small business server. Basically, nothing was showing for
http://localhost:8080/manage until IIS was stopped from listening on
port 80. Don't know why this affected port 8080 but there you go.

I'm now setting up Apache to manage subdomain forwarding and re-writes etc.
