Old discussion of Zwiki and Zwiki and Plone (2002-2005). From 2006, let's use GeneralDiscussion instead.

PieterB, 2002/12/24 15:06 GMT (via web):
There is currently only one open issue with the CMF, see CMFIssue:92 (CMFwiki? is mangling chars), but as far as I can see, this has been fixed within Zwiki.

Simon, did you ask the CMF community to apply the patches so that Zwiki works with CMF 1.4 out of the box?

PieterB, 2002/12/24 17:11 GMT (via web):
It seems: LauraTrippi did quite some things with Zwiki and Plone. See: http://plone.org/Members/latrippi/ProtoToolszWiki/AtlaurazWiki/ Why aren't some of here changes not added to Plone?

ZwikiAndPloneCMFDiscussion20042005?
Hi plone-developers and Laura,

I will spend some of my christmas time on trying to improve Zwiki support for Plone. Today I started using CVS-versions of Zope 2.6, Plone and Zwiki, I did some gardening at the Zwiki&Plone docs at http://zwiki.org/ZwikiAndPlone and subscribed myself to this mailinglist.

I created a new (valid XHTML skin) for Zwiki (see plone issue 783 or http://www.zwiki.org/[IssueNo0419 create]?) and will try to fix HTML-errors within Zwiki in the coming weeks/months.

Some questions: - What's the current status of Zwiki support in CMF/Plone. Simon says it's stable, but I think there are a lot of knownissues. Please add them at the http://zwiki.org/ZwikiAndPloneCMFDiscussion20042005 page

Things I would like to accomplish (in 2003 ;):

Any help/feedback/tips/etc would be appreciated,

Please visit http://zwiki.org/ZwikiAndPloneCMFDiscussion20042005 or http://zwiki.org/GeneralDiscussion

Happy X-mas,

PieterB cc: Zwiki community

PieterB, 2002/12/24 21:55 GMT (via web):
Hmm..

Laura's wiki is a CMFWiki within Plone. See: http://plone.org/Members/latrippi/CMFWiki/ProtoToolszWiki

I also added some Zwiki info in the PloneProjectHUB:OneDotOne (Plone 1.1 roadmap).

Re: ZwikiAndPloneCMFDiscussion20042005? (fwd)
Hi, PieterB,
Funny, I was just reading your comments over at zwiki.org last night.

> She has created tabs for Comment (add comments), History (diff), > Backlinks, Advanced (ownership, rename, delete, reparent), Help

I wish! =}

That's someone else. I've just done some simple styling on the old zwiki (ZWiki-0-9-9) and made a lot of comments about the CMFzwiki? in plone.

> - AtLaurazWiki? > (http://tonka.research.techbc.ca/laura/protoTypes/laurazWiki) > seems to be down.

Oops, no just moved:

http://tonka.research.techbc.ca/laura/protoTools/laurazWiki/

I'm in the process of consolidating my various sites and upgrading to the latest zwiki. Not sure if I'll use plone for this or not. I have a tendency to get in over my head and need to simplify.

Thanks for asking, though! I'll try to carry some of my comments over to the ZwikiAndPloneCMFDiscussion20042005?, in case they'd be of interest.

best,

::laura

SimonMichael, 2003/01/21 16:30 GMT (via web):
Good, let's not get involved with CMFWiki issues. I'm not aware of those patches.. do you mean a way to avoid the manual cmf_install_zwiki step ?

PieterB, 2003/01/24 13:46 GMT (via web):
Yep, I would love if you could install Zwiki in Plone/CMF without using an external method. I think that would be much more userfriendly.

PieterB

While I agree with being user friendly, the rest of the CMF world is habituated to using external methods, knows about them, expects, them etc. Sure it would be nice, but I hardly see it as valuable.

ObNote?: Given several CMF sites installed on a given Zope installation (quite common) auto-installation of CMF products is problemic at best.

I (J C Lawrnce) just posted instructions on making ZWiki more happy under Plone to the plone-users list. Short story: an extra action on ZWiki folder, some extra actions on portal_actions, a side-box, and a minor edit to the navigation side box code.

CapnKirk, 2003/01/24 21:51 GMT (via web):
Pieter,

I just downloaded the latest ZWiki 0.14.0 and installed it into Plone 1.0RC1, which is on top of Zope 2.5.1 (I'm running Debian "sarge").

After looking at all the Plone pages on ZWiki.org
following the install instructions carefully, and experimenting thoroughly, I find the following:

I can "view" a zwiki page

Clicking the "comment" tab, I get: a "no wikipage_comment_form" error
Clicking the "edit" tab, I get: a "no wikipage_comment_form" error
Clicking the "history" tab, I get: a "no wikipage_history" error
Clicking the "backlinks" tab, I get: a "no wikipage_backlinks" error
Clicking the "advanced" tab, I get: a "no wikipage_advanced_form" error

Seems like some files are missing. Am I right in thinking that no Plone forms exit for ZWiki?

Thanks.

Kirk

Editor links in RecentChanges? --JCLawrence, 2003/02/07 20:38 GMT
The default RecentChanges? page for ZWiki created links in the "by" (editor) column to a WikiPage? of the same name as the editor. This works well, and is likely what is intended under raw ZWiki. However under CMF odds are you'll want it to link back to the CMF user's $HOME.

To do this:

Edit RecentChanges? and find the two lines which reference '&dtml.url_quote-last_editor':

    <a href="&dtml.url_quote-last_editor;">&dtml-last_editor;</a>

and a little later:

    <a href="&dtml-wiki_url;/&dtml.url_quote-last_editor;"><dtml-var last_editor></a>

and replace them respectively with:

    <a href="/Members/&dtml.url_quote-last_editor;">&dtml-last_editor;</a>

and with:

    <a href="/Members/&dtml.url_quote-last_editor;"><dtml-var last_editor></a>

Voila!

Has anyone migrated a plain Zwiki to a Plone Zwiki. I have a big fat plain Zwiki that I would like to move into Plone. I tried copying the folder through the ZMI, but it didn't show up in Plone. Creating an empty Plone ZWiki and pasting the files also failed terribly. Any help would be great.

Opps didn't set my options prior to posting the above comment.

moving a wiki into plone --SimonMichael, 2003/04/03 04:58 GMT
Hi.. this should work: register the zwiki types with your plone site (see Zwiki and Plone); then create a plone Wiki Folder; then using ZMI, select all the pages in your old wiki folder, cut and paste them into the Wiki Folder. If not, let me know what happens.

buck78, 2003/04/03 19:09 GMT
Thanks for the reply...that worked. I just had to de-select the users-acl and catalog files. I think those were screwing things up. Now one minor question. I can;t seem to changed the state of any Wikis that I add to Plone. This is a small problem, because they don;t show up in the Nav Tree.

changing state ? --SimonMichael, 2003/04/03 20:57 GMT
You mean the workflow state ? Wikis don't participate in workflow at present. So they are always (private/visible/published, I'm not sure which).

buck78, 2003/04/03 23:15 GMT
Ok..then how do I get it to come up in the Left Hand Nav tree. On the Plone.org site there is a HowTwo? Wiki (CMFWiki through) that appears in this tree. That's what I am really trying to accomplish. thanks Buck

Hi, anyone able to help with a plone / zwiki q?. I'm using latest plone and zwiki, and logged in as manager with all priveleges. There isnt a rename page option any more?. I want to be able to rename pages. I know I can do it from the contents view but this wont update all the links to that page as well. Also, is the Regulating pages screen not available in Plone or do I have to enable it somehow? tia

Mark Bronstein, 2003/04/04 13:15 GMT
Meant to mention that the Plone Site's wikis have an Advanced Edit tab at the top, as does LaurazWiki. that's really what I'm after...

zwiki in plone left nav tree --SimonMichael, 2003/04/04 17:33 GMT
buck78 - I don't know right now, sorry. Maybe come and ask on #plone.

rename, regulations in plone ? --SimonMichael, 2003/04/04 17:40 GMT
Hi Mark - page management form details are here but I think the problem is the simple zwiki_cmf skin used in plone doesn't have that form. For now you could customize portal_skins/zwiki_cmf/wikipage_footer and copy the form from ZWiki/skins/default/wikipage.zpt.

Same problem with regulations - the regulations form in ZWiki/skins/default/editform.dtml has not been ported to skins/zwiki_cmf/editform.pt. That one is a bigger task. Were you successfully using regulations outside of plone by the way ? I haven't heard of anyone using it.

Mark Bronstein, 2003/04/04 20:17 GMT
Simon, I have not used regulations but I thought it might be useful. Thanks for the tips on getting the advanced edit tab in plone. I'll give it a try. I really appreciate your work and responsiveness.

Getting ZWiki folders visible in the nav bar under Plone --2003/04/05 18:31 GMT
To get ZWiki folders visible in the nav tree you need to change the navtree code to show unpublished folders. See my (JCLawrence) recipe on ZopeLabs? for a HOWTO.

zwiki_plone's use of DOCTYPE breaks under CMF 1.3.1 --TresEquis?, 2003/05/06 16:44 GMT
I just installed ZWiki-0.18.0, created a new CMFSite? for testing it, and ran the install script. Everything is fine, except that the DOCTYPE declaration prevents my browser from loading the stylesheet (at least, commenting it out made the page load correctly).

Thanks JC - I ran into this prob and your solution works perfectly.

Getting ZWiki folders visible in the nav bar under Plone --SimonMichael, 2003/05/17 23:52 GMT
Another option: don't use Wiki Folders, they don't do anything special. You can remove them from portal_types in fact.

"Render ...as" setting gets lost --2003/05/20 01:22 GMT
In ZWiki 0.18 in Plone when I edit a wiki page and set "render...as", when I re-edit the page, the "render...as" menu gets reset to the default setting. This means that I have to reselect the desired setting every time I edit the page. This doesn't happen on ZWiki pages in a wiki created outside of Plone. Is this a known bug? I couldn't find it in the issue tracker.

What about an install script that sets the default permissions in Plone --2003/05/22 15:15 GMT
It will help a lot for ZWiki/plone inegration if the permissions setting task was already taken in charge by the install script. If not, the admin needs to go on the Security tab and manually add all the required permissions to the Member and Owner roles for exemple, which is error prone. You can see what the Ingeniweb developers do for all their plone products. In IngeniwebPloneChatInstall? you can take the reset permissions code there to add to the Zwiki install script.

Missing Advanced atb --2003/05/23 15:17 GMT

Catalog reindexing problems within Plone --2003/06/10 21:25 GMT
I am helping debug a system that runs zwiki 0.19.0 within plone RC2 and have run into a couple of problems and was wondering if any of you might recognize these symptoms.

  1. when a wiki page is edited, the catalog does not register the proper modification date(it remains the date of creation).
  2. when a new page is created(through studly caps), the page belongs to the creator of the studly caps rather than the user that goes and creates the page. ex ThisPage? would belong to me after you follow the ? to create it.

Hope someone recognizes these problems and has or needs info on them.

Publishing with plone 1.0.3 -- 2003/06/24 20:09 GMT reply
Are there any other known issues, with Plone 1.0.3? I am able to add a Zwiki folder or page under a plone site, but for some reason can not change the state to visible. When I try to select the folder or page, and do a Change State operation, I get taken to the Publishing Process page, I select the content, enter a starting date, and do a save, and get taken back to the Folder Contents tab with a You must select a publishing action. error. I seem to get this whether I use a user from inside plone itself (with additional plone permissions), or inherited from outside.

Publishing with plone 1.0.3 --Simon Michael, 2003/06/25 10:13 GMT reply
Wiki pages don't use the CMF workflow. I've created #539 zwiki pages don't support CMF workflow out of the box for this and added it to KnownIssues.

Default name -- 2003/06/25 15:10 GMT reply
Ok, I have no issue with the idea that they are always visible. A comment: when I add a ZWiki folder in Plone, Plone gives it a name/id which contains the date, something similar in format to Wiki_Folder.2003-06-24.4627. I don't know why I though that was as a result of the fact that it was unpublished, and publishing it would change the id to the same as the title. A Wiki Folder with a name like the above is effectively useless to me, since it has a random name. Now I can just go and rename it, but I am confused as to why in Plone and the ZMI when I add a normal folder, I am given the chance to give it an id, while adding a ZWiki folder gives it a default id which has about 100% chance of having to be renamed.

copying many wikipages to new folder fails --FlorianKonnertz, 2003/07/24 08:50 GMT reply
I cannot cut&paste my wikipages from the old folder to the plone wiki folder, i guess it's because they're too many (1250) - the paste button isn't shown in the dest. plone wiki folder. - (I didn't deselect the acl and catalog, but i guess this cannot be the problem.) - Any ideas to that? - I could try it with WebDAV, but that's currently not working for other reasons, or - another way - write a script that copies the pages in several transactions. - FloK

Is there a simple solution/modification of context, (I didnt want to surf in the code as it's not too easy... )

non portal_types in Wiki folder: keep or not? --FlorianKonnertz, Sat, 16 Aug 2003 08:46:39 +0000 reply
Hi ZwikiAndPlone people. I write a folder_contents_properties view. All objects properties are shown and can be edited (many at once) from the plone interface. When it's ready it should work for all folders and portal_types. - but i wonder how i should handle the old images, files (non-portal_types) in the wiki folder. They're of course not visible in the folder_contents view. Should i "migrate" them to portal_types or better make the folder_contents view for all zope objects?? - I like to stay with plone, so i guess the first would be better... any ideas to this??

Portal Actions for skin-based views --Andreas Mayer, Fri, 12 Dec 2003 02:58:52 -0800 reply
I'd like to provide links to the new skin-based views (recentchanges, searchwiki, ...) for my ZWikis? under Plone. I only managed to add these links to the regular list of tabs at the top of each page (which already includes view, edit, history, and backlinks), which is quite easy. Unfortunately, this list of tabs is not wrapped and split up into several rows, if the browser window is not wide enough to display all tabs at once. At http://plone.zwiki.org the new views were put into a second row below the default row. How can I do this myself?

How do others provide these views? Are you referring to them in the FrontPage? Do you provide them in an additional slot, or in additional tabs?

These tabs are in newest 0.25.0 version only. If you upgraded, probably You have to check some .pyc files, and exchange with new ones manually.

Portal Actions for skin-based views -- Fri, 12 Dec 2003 12:11:23 -0800 reply
Hi.. you should not normally have to mess with .pyc files. That's something to check only if you have installed 0.25, restarted zope, re-installed zwiki in your cmf/plone site, and you don't see the new actions in portal_types -> Wiki Page -> actions.

If you prefer these actions as tabs, just change their category in the ZMI to object They will wrap to two lines with plone 2b2 and mozilla 1.6 at least. If you want them up in the site tabs, use that category instead (I have forgotten it).

Portal Actions for skin-based views --Samotnik, Sun, 14 Dec 2003 09:06:29 -0800 reply
You'right. New kind of actions, i.e. object_actions are working properly in Plone 2.beta2 (and 2.RC2). They are also visible in Plone 1.0.5 but this Plone version doesn't support object_actions.

These new actions can be replaced with object to make them wiki tabs, or with portal_tabs to make them site tabs. However, wiki contents doesn't work in either of these cases in Plone 1.0.5.. In order to make it work, the address of action should be written simply contents instead of python:object.contentsUrl(), at least for Plone 1.0.5.

Unfortunatelly, wiki tabs don't wrap in Plone 1.0.5. But You can save much space horizontal if decrease left and right margins in the Wiki tabs. Go to CMFPlone?/skins/plone_styles/plone.css.dtml and find #contentTabs a. Here change padding from 2em to 0.5em. Looks still elegant, and a lot of space is getting free :).

Portal Actions for skin-based views --Samotnik, Fri, 19 Dec 2003 05:39:34 -0800 reply
I don't know why. The error meesage is that no such adress exists, and all expression python:object.contentsUrl() is displayed in the status bar of Mozilla.

Subscription issues -- Sun, 11 Jan 2004 12:45:04 -0800 reply
Hi, there seems to be a little contention here re; the subscription policy and edits .vs. comments. (i.e. you only get one or the other)

This is my quick fix to "quickcomment"; if ((getattr(self.folder(),mailout_policy,comments) in ["edits","comments"]?) and (text or subject)):

But it would be nice to have mailout_policy as a tuple that can contain 0 or more types .... (http://linux.co.uk/)

Permission for users to create zwiki pages -- Sat, 24 Jan 2004 12:13:34 -0800 reply
I installed Zope (2.6.3), CMF, and Plone (2, beta 3). I also installed zwiki. The installation went fine, and as admin, I see the add Wiki Page in my add new item list. I am also able to add Wiki pages as admin. But, I am neither able to see the add Wiki Page in my item list as a user (not admin), nor am I able to modify/add new pages to Wiki pages already created (in this case by admin). I am pretty sure it is something simple, but as all this is quite new to me, I would appreciate any directions on how I can get the "add Wiki Pages" to show up on the tool list for users, and secondly, how they can get the permission to add/edit existing wiki pages. Thanks.

How EXACTLY to install Zwiki in Plone? -- Mon, 26 Jan 2004 13:34:48 -0800 reply
Installed the Plone 2 RC3 for Mac OS X. Seems to run fine. But I am confused as how to actually install Zwiki as described. The Plone docs say to install all Zope/Plone products in "Plone2/Sites/Default/Products" (I am just running default site for now). If I drop the Zwiki folder in there, Plone cannot start up (I see a python process start with user Plone, but then it terminates after 10 seconds or so). So I'm guessing that is not the place. If I put the Zope folder into "Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/skel/Products" Plone starts, but it's not listed in the install page when I login Plone as admin as stated on the Zwiki site: "How to install Zwiki in a Plone Site make sure the Zwiki product is installed in your zope products directory in your web browser, go to Plone Setup -> Install Products and install Zwiki (Plone 2)."

Any pointers? Thanks yeagerm@comcast.net

I believe you need to grant some Zwiki permissions to the Authenticated or Anonymous roles, not just Manager, in your folder's or plone site's Security tab. These are listed on QuickReference or BasicFrontPage I believe. Does this help ?

When I install in Zope Products, I have the same problem you do. If I install in Plone Products, Python quits after 10 seconds after starting Plone2. Emails about all this below. snip :

Although #418 Plone: zwiki_cmf missing templates for edit, history (diff), backlinks and subscribe states this problem was supposedly solved in 0.18, I have been using ZWiki version 0.25 and have updated to 0.27, and neither of these work properly (ie I still get the non-plone skin for the comparison page).

The compare button calls manage_historicalComparison:method, which is in lib/python/OFS/History.py. This calls manage_historyCompare also from History.py, which calls _manage_historyComparePage from Globals.DTMLFile?. This uses dtml/historyCompare, and so on ...

Is there a fix for this? I am using Linux 2.4, Zope 2.6.2, CMF 1.3.2, Plone 1.0.5, ZWiki 0.27.1

ie6 comment textarea rendering probs w/ 0.27 & 0.28 --dgephardt, Tue, 02 Mar 2004 08:40:10 -0800 reply
Are there known issues (not docuemented yet) on textarea rendering for comments with ie6? I have a plone 1.0.5 setup (windows bin install, zope 2.6.1, python 2.1.3) with zwiki installed in the plone site via CMFQuickInstaller?. Works great, but with the 0.27.1 plone skin changes in wikipage_footer.pt, the comment field renders way too narrow in ie6 (same with 0.28). Zwiki 0.26 did not have this problem. Also, the comment textarea does not respond to any changes in width in wiki options page.

With Firefox 0.8, the comment text area renders much better and also responds to width changes in the wiki options page.

See the screen shot examples at: (filenames describe scenario) http://www.gepzone.com/images/zwiki-0.26-commentlayout-ie6.jpg http://www.gepzone.com/images/zwiki-0.27.1-commentlayout-ie6.jpg http://www.gepzone.com/images/zwiki-0.28-commentlayout-ie6.jpg http://www.gepzone.com/images/zwiki-0.27.1-commentlayout-firefox-0p8.jpg http://www.gepzone.com/images/zwiki-0.28-commentlayout-firefox-0p8.jpg

I know plone2 work is important for the transition, but 1.0.5 is still in use as a "production" solution. Thanks for the great Zwiki product.

Hi.. not that I'm aware of. I've seen this sometimes when my cookies get mixed up. Does it help if you forget cookies or set a new width in user options ? To access that in plone, I think you'll need to visit SOMEPAGE/useroptions.

In ie6, I tried both deleting all cookies and restarting ie6, and also visiting and setting new values in SOMEPAGE/useroptions, neither one changed the bad rendering of comment textarea width. The changes in 0.27.1 wikipage_footer.pt were significant (moved to table based format instead of "div") and I think that's where the issue is. I have seen this on multiple plone/zwiki installs (my production setup and a test server) and with multiple different machines ie6 browsers.

It does this so as to reduce the number of urls a zwiki offers to robots. As it was before, every robot that came to your public wiki would retrieve the contents once for every page in the wiki. Contents is relatively cheap now, but still..

A 'print'-method for Plone? -- Mon, 19 Apr 2004 14:13:06 -0700 reply
I am looking for a script like the print DTML-method, which allows to print a page with all its children--but this time in Plone.

The print DTML-method does a nice job in plain Wikis. Unfortunately, it produces garbage in Plone. The problem is the CMF-aware rendering using page(bare=1). When called in a plain Wiki, page(bare=1) returns the rendered HTML code for the page without a header. Therefore, print can concatenate the HTML code for all pages to be rendered, enclose it in body-tags, prepend an HTML header, and the page is ready to print.

In a Plone-Wiki, page(bare=1) renders HTML-code for the respective page and applies the Plone skin to the code. Therefore, the result of page(bare=1) already includes an HTML header, and concatenating the code of two or more pages results in garbage. This can be fixed by replacing call to page(bare=1) (which calls CMFAwareness.__call__) with page.render(bare=1). But how can I apply Plone's skin to the concatenated code by myself like page does, so that the concatenated pages are presented in the plone decoration and are printed with the Plone CSS?

Yes, that is what I meant. The person who installed this is not available right now. I think that he used SendmailHost? rather than the regular Mailhost. That may enter into the equation.

A couple days ago we had this working, but we were not using Rewrite to get rid of the :8080 in the URL and I think he was using ESTMPMailHost?. He did a reinstall of plone and we started fresh. I know there were problems getting mail out to external addresses and that is why a different Mailhost is being used.

I probably should wait until Monday so that I can get input from him on exactly what we have going here.

Printing zwiki on plone using mozilla or netscape -- Mon, 17 May 2004 18:30:49 -0700 reply
Printing with mozilla or netscape produces pages where the text does not wrap. There are also some very long links that I don't see when printing with Internet Explorer. The print in IE is cut off a bit on the right edge, but in mozilla and netscape, the lines are not wrapping so they are seriously truncated.

I saw in a changelog on plone that this is due to the large print in mozilla, but this is more than that, because the lines are not wrapping. We just upgraded to the latest plone which may or may not make this problem more complex.

Thanks for any input. Are there yet more problems with running zwiki on plone that I should know about after this one is fixed? :-)

Thanks, Simon. I looked in those places and did not find anything on a similar print issue. I did get the idea to check things out with Structured rather than reStructured text. I get wrapping when printing from the wiki page if it is in Structured text!! The bad part is that I'm getting the links for the tabs of the wiki manager at the top and long links to the WikiNames within the text. That is not happening in IE. Do you know what that link business is about? Why would it show links for the stuff that is not even in the text?

The modern DateIndex? does not exist in zope 2.5, I believe. You could try older Zwiki versions until you find one that works, or try commenting out that line in Install.py (and add the necessary catalog indexes & metadata by hand).

See also http://zwiki.org/FAQs#How%20do%20I%20set%20up%20a%20wiki%20catalog? , unfortunately the list of catalog fields is gone but you can see them in http://zwiki.org/zwikidir/Admin.py

Okay, this is starting to work for me so far, thanks. So I'm adding the Indexes listed in setupCatalog within the portal_catalog in the ZMI, and then I'll be adding the metadata, right? But what do I do about the DateIndexes? in that list, creationTime and lastEditTime? Create them as FieldIndexes??

setupTracker gives 404 -- Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:15:52 -0700 reply
Hi - I have tried this twice now. Clean install of Plone2 on Windows, download latest ZWiki, drop into productes folder, start Plone, Plone setup, install ZWiki, create a new folder, add a wiki page, and then when I try to go to the xxxxx/setupTracker page I am returned a 404 ???? What I dont understand is how I have had this running before ???

This was the frequent .../folder/setupTracker mistake. The how-to was tweaked.

deleted wiki pages -- Sun, 31 Oct 2004 22:31:51 -0800 reply
How about this folder? I can add Type of content inside. Is there a way to limit only deleted files go in.

mailout_policy=edits don't notify for comments -- Wed, 03 Nov 2004 09:35:56 -0800 reply
Hi - I read KnownIssues and it seems this bug was removed since v0.28. I use ZWIKI v0.35 on Plone. I subscribed to the whole wiki and I am only notified when users add pages, not when they add comments. I set the property mailout_policy = edits on the zwiki folder. Is there anything to take care? Any idea?

zwiki to plone document converter --reinout, Tue, 02 Aug 2005 09:40:42 -0700 reply
I've written a converter for plone sites that converts zwiki documents to plone documents. Wrote most of it during europython for the plone.org migration. Zwiki is fine for many things, but it didn't really fit on plone.org. More info and download link at http://vanrees.org/weblog/1123002767 . (Tried to edit this page directly, but got an error).

Advanced Search -- Wed, 10 Aug 2005 14:42:40 -0700 reply
The advanced search won't work in a Plone site unless the user clicks off the workflow states at the bottom. Or you could make wiki's workflow enabled and use one of the standard plone states, but that's another story.

moved demo site --simon, Fri, 30 Sep 2005 16:27:51 -0700 reply
I've moved plone.zwiki.org to plone.demo.zwiki.org, for clarity and consistency with other demo sites. The old urls should still work.

what about cmf only? -- Fri, 04 Nov 2005 09:00:32 -0800 reply
too bad that there are so many plone-dependencies, and not just plain cmf. it looks pretty hard to install with a self-made cmf site :-/

what about cmf only? --Simon Michael, Fri, 04 Nov 2005 09:28:17 -0800 reply
Zwiki has always worked with plain CMF, even though the docs may refer to just plone for brevity. If you find otherwise, please do file bugs..
