Plone UI for the meercat search system.

Downloads ↓ 

Introduction
============

This is the Plone user interface into the Meercat Library resource management
system. The code is based heavily upon the collective.solr package. The
collective.solr package is designed to replace portions of the Plone catalog
with a SOLR solution. All of the configuration and management for the Plone UI
of Meercat is similar and started from the collective.solr configuration.


Installation
============

 * When you're reading this you have probably already run
   ``easy_install meercat.ui.plone``. Find out how to install setuptools
   (and EasyInstall) here:
   http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall

 * Get `pythonproducts`_ and install it via::

       python setup.py install --home /path/to/instance

   into your Zope instance.

 * Create a file called ``meercat.ui.plone-configure.zcml`` in the
   ``/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes`` directory.  The file
   should only contain this::

       <include package="meercat.ui.plone" />

.. _pythonproducts: http://plone.org/products/pythonproducts

Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance
recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

 * Add ``meercat.ui.plone`` to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

    [buildout]
    ...
    eggs =
        ...
        meercat.ui.plone

  * Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

    [instance]
    recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
    ...
    zcml =
        meercat.ui.plone

  * Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

    $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package
from another package's configure.zcml file.
