VisualCMS Installation & Known Issues

VisualCMS Requirements & Installation

  • CMF 1.3.1 (probably will not work with 1.4)
  • Plone 1.0.1 (may not work with newer versions)
  • OrderedFolder 0.5.1
  • TransparentFolders 0.3.2

Assuming all requirements are met, installation and instantiation is very similar to Plone.

A VisualCMS site should be immediately accessible with the default Plone skin, but composite pages (as seen in the preview tab) require the creation of a custom Plone skin. The VisualCMS is designed to be a back-end only tool; it's intended that the look and feel of each website created by the VisualCMS have a unique and specific design.

Known Issues

  • The crude versioning system (e.g. draft mode for editing inline_contents of CMSPages) causes ZODB bloat.
  • Passing session information via REQUEST causes forward and back buttons to behave unexpectedly. See todo.txt for planned switch to SESSION.
  • IE6 CSS2 mouseover problems (e.g. colours don't change, etc.)

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
