by Toby Dickenson 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

Announcing the release of DirectoryStorage 1.0 beta 2 DirectoryStorage is a ZODB Storage that uses ordinary files and directories to store object state - one file per object revision. This release fixes a bug found during code review. This bug can cause data loss, although it should be hard to hit. I am not aware of anyone affected by this bug, but all DirectoryStorage users are encouraged to upgrade to 1.0 beta 2 as soon as is convenient.

NeoPortal Content Pak 0.9a2 released - finally we get User Management Tool ;-)
by Wankyu Choi 25 Dec '02

25 Dec '02

Hi everybody, I'm pleased to announce that NeoPortal Content Pak 0.9a2 is now available. Most notable in this new version is a couple of new content types plus a powerful user management tool. I've been dying for a user management tool and finally wrote one up during X-mas holidays :-) To name a few new goodies: (i) **NeoPortal User Manager Tool** has been added. With this tool, managers can search for users, edit their properties, disable their accounts or even delete their accounts, etc. In a word, managers can do whatever they can with portal members. Just visit 'your_portal_url/neoportal_usermanager' and everything will be self-explanatory. (i) All content types can now render 'description' values as they would 'text' : 'getRenderedNeoPortalContentDescription' method added. Visit http://www.zoper.net/Downloads to see what it can do. (i) New Content Type 'NeoPortal Ordered Folder' added: direct descendent of 'NeoPortal Element Container' that supports batch creation of external file/image/media elements ( 'NeoPortal Article' now inherits from 'NeoPortal Ordered Folder' ). You can create your photo album, file archive, document library in a few seconds with this type of folder. (i) 'NeoPortal External Image/Media' and their 'Element(s)' counterparts added: all support batch creation via 'NeoPortal Ordered Folder' (i) 'NeoPortalExternalFile/NeoPortalExternalAccessTool' now checks 'external_file_bases' property in the 'neoportal_properties' tool first (i) Better handling of i18n This version of **NeoPortal Content Pak** requires **NeoPortal Library 0.9a2 or higher**, which fixes all the outstanding bugs in **NeoPortal Content Pak**. You may upgrade your previous version of **NeoPortal Content Pak** simply by re-running the External Method you used for installing the product. Read the 'UPGRADE.txt' for more info. A lot has changed in NeoPortal Content Pak 0.9a2. Any feedback is welcome ;-) - Home: http://www.zoper.net - Downloads: http://www.zoper.net/Downloads Enjoy! (8) p.s. For those who may wonder what this product is all about... NeoPortal Content Pak is a collection of new ( and a bit more powerful ) content types and tools for CMFPlone sites. If you don't use CMFPlone, skip this product ;-) p.s.2 This version of NeoPortal Content Pak has been tested with Plone RC1. --------------------------------------------------------------- To the dedicated staff at NeoQuest, language is not a problem to be dealt with, but an art waiting to be performed. --------------------------------------------------------------- Wankyou Choi CEO/President NeoQuest Communications, Inc. 3rd Floor, HMC Bldg., 730-14, Yoksam-dong, Kangnam-gu Seoul, Korea Tel: 82-2 - 501 - 7124 Fax: 82-2-501-7058 Corporate Home: http://www.neoqst.com Personal Home: http://www.zoper.net, http://www.neoboard.net e-mail: wankyu(a)neoqst.com ---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everybody, I'm pleased to announce that NeoPortal Library 0.9a2 is now available. This new version fixes a number of bugs and adds a few new features. By upgrading your NeoPortal Library, you can fix most outstanding bugs in NeoBoard and NeoPortal Content Pak. To name a few most notable new features: (i) All NeoPortal Types inherit getNeoPortalUserAcceptLanguage, isContentLanguageAcceptable methods which returns, respectively, 'http_accept_language' and a boolean value to tell if content's 'Language()' is in one of the languages specified 'http_accept_language'. NeoPortal object embedding conflicts with just-in-time i18n concept of ZPT have been resolved. (i) All NeoPortl Types now may return teh rendered version of 'description' property values as they would their 'text' values. Visit 'Downloads' section at <a href="http://www.zoper.net/Downloads">http://www.zoper.net</a> to see what it can do ;-) (i) A bit more precise handling of paragraphs by flattening basic STX docs (i) NeoPortalSTDocument's 'doc_literal' and 'doc_underline' ( regex ) cleaned up not to intefere with object embedding/inline comment markers This version fixes most of the notable bugs in **NeoBoard** and **NeoPortal Content Pak**. Note that NeoPortal Library is the base on which NeoBoard and NeoPortal Content Pak operate. Even if your NeoBoard remains the same, for example, you may upgrade its features by upgrading your NeoPortal Library product. You may also download the latest version of NeoBoard from CVS: visit <a href="http://www.zoper.net/Downloads">http://www.zoper.net/Downloads</a> and read the instructions. - Home: <a href="http://www.zoper.net">http://www.zoper.net</a> - Downloads: <a href="http://www.zoper.net/Downloads">http://www.zoper.net/Downloads</a> Enjoy!

IIS -> Zope connector: ASP404. Better than pcgi!
by Leonardo Rochael Almeida 20 Dec '02

20 Dec '02

Ok, so we should have made this announcement at the same time as the Zope.org one, but better late than never. If you're stuck with serving Zope from behind IIS for some reason, but can't stand the ugly http://iis.server/Scripts/Zope.pcgi/some/zope/doc urls, not to mention the lame performance, we have something for you. Come check the new and improved ASP404 script here: http://www.zope.org/Members/hiperlogica/ASP404 -- Ideas don't stay in some minds very long because they don't like solitary confinement.

Plone 1.0 Release Candidate 1 released!
by Alexander Limi 18 Dec '02

18 Dec '02

As Christmas draws closer, we are proud to announce the first Release Candidate for Plone. If we get positive feedback from this release and migrations are smooth - this will be 1.0! Get the latest Plone from http://plone.org/download and help us locate any remaining bugs. What is Plone? Plone is a Content Management System based on Zope Corporation's Content Management Framework. It combines a stable base with an attractive, lightweight and easy-to-use User Interface, and has quickly become one of the leading Open Source Content Management Systems. What are the differences between the betas and RC1? - Plone comes with an i18n folder with approximately 20 languages (please co-ordinate with the "i18n effort":/development/i18n to add your language). These are pre-installed in the Windows installer package. - Xopus was removed (will possibly be available as an add-on later); we have kept XSDHTMLEditor but will be removing it as 1.1 comes and we can move it to an add-on. - Lots of bug fixes. Small feature enhancements (filename staying in form if validation fails) and usability issues addressed. - migration machinery has been updated and hopefully you should have no problems migrating from any beta release to RC1. - RC1 is being run on plone.org with great results. Near future Plone is gathering a healthy community around it. The focus in the near future will be documentation and a stable 1.0 release. Plone is already being used all over the world for many different purposes. Please mail us at plone-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net about your experiences. We are now preparing the final announcements, finishing touches and installer integration, and watching the issue collector at http://plone.org/collector for any issues reported. To upgrade - Do a full backup (Both the products dir and Data.fs). - Delete the CMFPlone directory and replace with the new one. - Enter your Plone site via the ZMI (http://myplonesite:8080/manage) - Add a Plone Migration tool if there isn't one displayed already - the name should be portal_migration (Add a Plone Tool -> Migration Tool). - Enter the portal_migration tool and double check that the version displayed is correct (You can override the settings if you know that you have a different version). - Click the "Click here to migrate" link. - Voilá - your Plone site should be up to date. Please report any errors to us. Download and test Download Plone RC1 from http://plone.org/download and help us find any remaining bugs. The final release will hopefully be out by the end of this month, or early next month. We wish everybody a nice holiday, and look forward to making year 2003 the Year of Plone. :) -- Alexander Limi http://limi.net
