[ANN] PlonePayPal
by Marc Lindahl 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

While I was waiting for a *real* Zope commerce solution I cooked up this simple PayPal shopping cart store: http://zope.org/Members/bowerymarc/PlonePayPal/ (once it's published) -------------- REQUIRES: * ImageTag_CorePatch (available here). * Archetypes 1.2.3_final * PIL (for ImageTag_CorePatch) NOTE: THIS IS A FINANCIAL PRODUCT. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO REPRESENTATION OF SUITABILITY IS MADE. Simple store product, to implement a PayPal shopping cart store within plone. You need to read PayPal's shopping cart instructions (a copy is included in docs/shopping_cart.pdf). READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Basically you create a PayPal Store and the parameter of interest there is the view cart button code. You'll need to add that later by pasting in the view cart code that PayPal gives you. Then you create a PayPal Item for each item. You get a picture and a description, and the paypal button code is pasted in. Basically you should have a browser window open to paypal.com where you create the item, with all of it's information. Then you get the code for the add to cart button and you paste that into your plone object. You can also use the single item code, same difference. If the store doesn't have any view cart button code it won't show the button. Also you don't have to have a store to use the Item. But it has a nice view of your whole store (catalog). If you want to make it so people can't add Items outside of the store, you need to uncheck implicitly addable in the portal_types tool PayPal Item. SECURITY SETTINGS: To add items you need to enable: Add portal content AND PayPal: Add PayPal Item

Zwiki 0.27 released
by Simon Michael 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Zwiki 0.27 has been released. Summary: new, faster page hierarchy implementation; access keys everywhere; utf-8 everywhere; page management form and action icons in plone; bugfixes. There are a couple of upgrade issues this month, check http://zwiki.org/ReleaseNotes and http://zwiki.org/KnownIssues. This release makes it practical to enable the full hierarchy features (show_subtopics, show_navlinks) in all wikis, including large ones. Thanks to steady and committed community input we are making progress on all fronts, but especially the last big 1.0 blocker: i18n. Right now we need developers to help do (mostly straightforward) i18n of python code; see http://zwiki.org/ZwikiInternationalisation for details. Cheers, -Simon
