product installation instructions.

Installing with buildout
------------------------

If you are using `buildout`_ to manage your instance installing
ECAssigmentBox is very simple. You can install it by adding it to the
eggs line for your instance::

[instance]
eggs =
...
Products.ECLecture

After updating the configuration you need to run ``bin/buildout``,
which will take care of updating your system.

Then restart your zope instance and use the Add/Remove products page
in Site Setup to install ECLecture.

.. _buildout: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout


Installing without buildout
---------------------------

Move (or symlink) the ``ECLecture`` folder of this project
(``Products.ECLecture/Products/ECLecture``) into the ``Products``
directory of the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and
restart the server. Use the Add/Remove products page in Site
Setup to install ECLecture.

History
=======

# Changes in release 1.3 (2008-09-24)

- ECLecture was completly re-implemented with support for Plone 3.x.
It is now eggified and uploaded to PyPI. An old-style tarball
distribution is still available at plone.org.

# Changes in release 1.2.1 (2008-01-06)

- Added Plone-3.0 compatibility / removed deprecation warnings

# Changes in release 1.2 (2007-06-27)

- Inherits from ECFolder (from the ECAssignmentBox product), if
available. This enables the use of ECLecture as a top-level folder
for a course with the statistics and assignments listing functions
from ECFolder.

- Internal registration support: If you enter "ecl_register" into the
Registration link field, ECLecture will handle registration to the
course. Users who want to register must be known to Plone. You
must also set an Associated group in ECLecture.
