Introduction ============ Plomino is a powerful and flexible web-based application builder for Plone. Features ======== * create your own custom applications from a web interface without programming * create and design forms in WYSIWYG mode * easily embed charts or maps * create specific actions with formulas (compute fields, send emails, ...) * adapt the application behaviour depending on the user access rights and roles * import/export your application structure and/or your application data, including replication between Plomino instances Positioning =========== Plomino is a **through-the-web application builder**, hence: * it is not a **through-the-web content-type builder** like `Dexterity <http://plone.org/products/dexterity>`_, which is perfect to create a custom content type but that will always stick to the standard content management scenario, while Plomino allows any custom scenario, * it is not just a **form generator** like `PloneFormGen <http://plone.org/products/ploneformgen>`_, as Plomino provides all the services (data storage, search, automation, import/export, etc.) to build an entire application. Regarding form generation itself, a major difference with PloneFormGen is that Plomino allows editing the form layout in its entirety, while PloneFormGen uses a fixed pre-defined form layout. Resources and documentation =========================== Screencasts and how-tos are available on http://www.plomino.net/ . Plomino documentation is available on `ReadTheDocs <http://readthedocs.org/docs/plomino/>`_. Note: if you think something is missing in the documentation, please send your pull request at https://github.com/plomino/PlominoDoc . Internationalization ==================== Plomino itself is internationalized and translated in seven languages. Applications built with Plomino can be internationalized (see the `related documentation <https://plomino.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features/#i18n-support>`_). Installation ============ To deploy Plomino, you need to edit your ``buildout.cfg`` file and add the following in the ``eggs`` section:: eggs = ... Products.CMFPlomino Then you have to run ``buildout`` to realize your configuration:: bin/buildout -N Installation on Plone 4.0 and 4.1 ================================= If you're using Plone version older than 4.2 you'll need to add some more directives to your ``buildout.cfg``. Plomino depends on ``plone.app.registry``, and ``plomino.tinymce`` requires ``Products.TinyMCE>=1.2.13``. To make Plomino work on pre-4.2 Plone sites you need to pin those versions in your ``versions.cfg`` section:: Products.TinyMCE=1.2.13 collective.js.jqueryui=1.8.16.9 and use a known good set for ``plone.app.registry``. This means extending your buildout from:: http://good-py.appspot.com/release/plone.app.registry/1.0b2?plone=4.0.9 replacing 4.0.9 with the actual version you need.
