CMIS search for Plone

Project description

Presentation

collective.cmissearch is a Plone 3.2+ extension that lets you search into a CMIS document repository from Plone.

This doesn’t integrate the Plone search functionally with external `CMIS`_ data. This provides a simple search form that does a search both in Plone and in an CMIS repository.

This extension depends on collective.cmisbrowser. Each CMIS Browser will indicate a starting point from where the search will be done.

Installation

Update buildout profile

Update your buildout profile to include the following eggs and zcml:

eggs +=
    ...
    collective.cmisbrowser
    collective.cmissearch
zcml +=

    collective.cmisbrowser
    collective.cmissearch

Important:

When using python 2.4.x you will also need to add httpsproxy_urllib2 as an egg.
