Installing Silva News

This package requires Silva 0.9.3.

Unpack the SilvaNews-0.9.tgz package into the Products directory of
your Zope installation and restart Zope. Go to the Silva root and
click on the 'service_extensions' object. Scroll to the SilvaNews
entry and click 'Install'. The product should now be installed
correctly.

Note: for SilvaNews to work correctly for news items to be published
or expired in the future, a script needs to be registered to cron or
some other scheduler so it calls the 'status_update' URL at a
regular interval. 'status_update' will search Silva for versions of
which the publication status should be updated, and updates that
status.

This makes that objects that don't get called directly (only using
the catalog, like News does) get their publication status updated,
which would usually happen by calling them through the web
(viewing).

This URL can be constructed from the URL to your Silva root with
the name '/status_update' appended.

A helper script to call a URL called 'call_url.py' can be found in
the 'utils' directory of the Silva core package.
