Hi list,

I downloaded cmf-1-5.0.zip and installed it into Zope 2.75b1 Zope_Instance/Products directory. Afer rebooting I was surprised to see it wasn't listed as a Product so I look in Products\CMF-1.50 and there is no __init__.py.

Hi David, it is not obvious for windows users not knowing unix commands.

INSTALL.txt says:

...

Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products (or into $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products). ... Since linking doesn't apply on Windows, you will need to cut or copy the files from the place where you unpacked them to the 'Products' directory of your Zope.

You are supposed to copy the moduls contained in the CMF-1-5.0 folder into the Zope_Instance/Products directory.

Michael

Hi Michael, Thanks for the response. I wasn't very clear: I did install CMF-1-5.0 in the Zope_Instance/Products directory. I've installed lots of products! Its just that CMF-1-5.0 has no __init__.py in its base directory - and therefore its not being picked up by Zope as a Product. *still confused* . FWIW I also unzipped other CMF "tars" and they too did not have this. Thanks, David

CMF is not a single product, but a suite of related productx. The INSTALL.txt says:

~ Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products

It then provides examples of doing the linking on a windows box:

~ $ cd /var/zope/Products # /var/zope is INSTANCE_HOME ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFCore . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFDefault . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFTopic . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFActionIcons . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFCalendar . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFSetup . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFUid . ~ $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/DCWorkflow .

*Those* are the "products" of which CMF is made up.

The top-level directory, CMF-1.5.0, is not a package (hence it has no __init__.py) or a product; it is just the container for the products.

Tres.

Tres and Tom, Thanks! David

if you've got cygwin installed, sure... otherwise, I'd like to see that windows box ;-)

Indeed. The equivalent on a windows box would look more like: C:\Zope\Products>junction CMFCore \CMF-1.5.0\CMFCore The main problem with creating links on windows is that the OS doesn't come with any programs to create (or delete) them, so you need to get a third party program such as junction from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction
