Time Tracker Example Plone Product

    install framework
    python
    zope
    plone

boa.ts.gatech.edu: ~/src/Python-2.4.3$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/demo ; make ; sudo make install
boa.ts.gatech.edu:~/src/Zope-2.8.6-final$ ./configure --with-python=/usr/local/demo/bin/python --prefix=/usr/local/demo ; make ; sudo make install

boa.ts.gatech.edu: cd ~/demo
boa.ts.gatech.edu: ./bin/runzope
^C

# untar plone then...
boa.ts.gatech.edu: cd ~/src/Plone-2.1.2/
boa.ts.gatech.edu: mv * ~/demo/Products

boa.ts.gatech.edu: cd ~/demo
boa.ts.gatech.edu: ./bin/runzope

Step 1.a : done
Step 1.b: add plone site to zope

Visit http://boa.ts.gatech.edu:8080/manage
click "Add" from "Plone Site" dropdown on main page

ID: tt
Title: Time tracker demo
Desc: A time tracker demo from Sean kelley
click "Add Plone Site"

Visit: http://localhost:8080/tt

So now our system looks like this diagram                           

PLONE

Step 2: get development tools

    ArchGenXML
    ArgoUML
    Textmate(strikethat)

# So we use a modeling tool to make a xmi, send it to ArchGenXML and the plone knows how to display via the archetype API.
ArgoUML (export xmi) -> file.xmi
file.xmi (defines class model) -> ArchGenXML (generates class definitions) -> archetypes (defines content types for) -> Plone

So I went and downloaded ArgoUML.app(or the windows/linux version of this)

Then at plone.org/products I got the ArchGenXML product under "development tools" by wgeting the url in ~/src
And then I made a symlink so I could run it from the command line
boa.ts.gatech.edu: ln -s ~/src/ArchGenXML/ArchGenXML.py ~/bin/ArchGenXML

Now make the app!    Draw up classed in ArgoULM...  remove some of the java specific "tag vaules" and put your own in.

  Export to tt.xmi

boa.ts.gatech.edu:  ArchGenXML ~/demo/tt.xmi ~/demo/Products/tt

# stop/start zope/plone
^C
boa.ts.gatech.edu: ./bin/runzope

Visit http://localhost:8080/tt/  and click "Site Setup"  URHC(upper right hand corner) then "Add/Remove Products"  and click 'tt'/"Install"

Then go back to localhost:8080/tt and select "add to folder" "time log" and thats it.
