This is the buildout folder of Ploomcake, which extends the standard Plone buildout.
Ploomcake is a distribution of the powerful open source Plone CMS (http://plone.org) that lets you create an out-of-the-box website or intranet. It automatically includes in your portal a selection of the best third-party open source plugins: mobile support with responsive theme, easy forms generation support, tabs and slideshows goodies, multilanguage support, and much more. Before you go on you should know that it is also available a pre packaged unified installer. Go and get it on the official web site (http://www.ploomcake.org). If you are an expert user (or a developer) you can go on following this guide.
Install Plone 4.1.6 using Unified installer. You can get it on plone.org (http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/4.1.6). After the installation rename the buildout.cfg of the Plone instance folder as "configuration.cfg". This step is very important because the Ploomcake buildout will extend this file.
This folder must be placed in the instance directory. Go to the instance directory and clone this repository from github using:
git clone git@github.com:ploomcake/ploomcake_buildout.git config.d
In the config.d folder we have two main buildout files: start_develop.cfg and start_production.cfg Choose the one to install according to what kind of installation you prefer. If you want to:
- build a developer environment (with a lot of useful tools, test etc.), pick the start_develop.cfg
- build a production environment, pick the start_production.cfg
Copy the buildout file you picked in the parent folder (the instance directory), rename as buildout.cfg and launch:
bin/buildout
Ploomcake is installed correctly. You can give a try launching:
bin/plonectl start
Ploomcake will respond to http://localhost:8080.
The cleanest way to extend this buildout is to create another folder like this in the buildout. We have prepared a precompiled folder called "extend_config.d". In this folder you can customize and extend the buildout configuration. In particular this buildout inherits the project.cfg. To use the new extended buildout you have to copy the start_devel.cfg or start_production.cfg in the instance directory and relaunch the buildout using one of these files. You can rename the file you choose as buildout.cfg and relaunch bin/buildout
