[Zope-CMF] CMFStaging skins

[Gregoire Weber]

Hi,

do you use with Plone Staging from the collective (http://sourceforge.net/projects/collective/)?

There should be a script doing all the necessary installs for you.
Alan showed that to me at the Castle Sprint in Autria.

If you like to elaborate your own solution take in accont that
there is some work underway to integrate staging and versioning
with the next Plone Version (Plone 2.1).

See my comment at the top of the page to:

>Thanks - that was what I needed to do.  The instructions I'm following are from another posting and are a little vague for me.  I've spent a day or so trying to figure out how it all works but with no result (apart from a headache or two!!!).   The instruction mention that "you'll need to add a GUI around all this stuff to call the underlying APIs to do what you want.  There's no demo GUI.  Look at the test code".   I'm no Python expert (as I'm trying to learn all this as I'm trying to develop this project) so the code is somewhat difficult to follow!  I have ZopeVersionControl and the various CMFStaging tools added to my plain CMF test site but can't figure out where to start next. 
>The workflow tool, noted as repository aware, appears to have no workflow defined.   Obviously I need to add states and transitions to allow the flow of objects to the various stages as part of the CMFStaging but again where to start.  Do I spend time on this to only discover I should have done something else first etc.....
