How Do I Use It?
Getting Started
Once you have installed Zope and Plone, as well as the required products, you are ready to install Origami.
- Extract and copy the Origami folder into your Zope instance directory, then restart the Zope server.
- Navigate
to the Plone "site setup" link (in the upper right corner; it will only
be visible if you have Manager privileges). Click on "Add/Remove
Products", select the checkbox next to Origami and click the "install"
button. The Origami Product is now installed, and you can now add an
Origami Site within your Plone site.
- To add an Origami site, follow the instructions in the Add a Site document.
- To learn how to add content to the site, follow the instructions in the Add Content document.
- To add a specific type of content to the site, follow the instructions in the relevant Add [Type] document.
Add a Site
- Make sure Origami has been installed as a Plone Add-on Product.
- Navigate to the folder where you would like to add the site.
- If you have the appropriate permission to add an Origami Site to the folder (and you are logged in), it should appear as a content type in the "add to folder"/"add item" tab.
- The only piece of information you are required to provide is the title. Click save, and you should see the mostly empty front page of the Origami Site.
- By default, the front page will be static, meaning that it will display a page or document containing text, images, and possibly other content. It will not display events or news unless you configure it to do so.
Add Content
- Once you have added an Origami Site, navigate to it.
- Give some thought to how you would like content to be organized before adding it. You can use Folders to conceptually organize content. You can use Topic Folders to display content that fits various criteria as well without moving or copying the content.
- The next step is to use the "add to folder"/"add item" tab to select the content type you would like to add. For help adding a particular content type, see its associated help section.
Add an Entity
An Entity represents an individual or group and its associated metadata.
- The only required piece of data is the Name, but the recommended fields include the Short Description / Summary, Bio / Description, and Image.
Add a Topic Folder
A Topic Folder is like a Smart Folder, which contains the results of a search based on a fixed set of criteria. These criteria are chosen via the "criteria" tab of the folder.
- In the edit form, select a title, keywords, and a short description as you would for other content types.
- Optional: select an image that will be used in summary views of this folder.
- Optional: browse for a header document that will be displayed at the top of this folder.
- Optional: set the batch size, that is, the number of items to display per page. In the case of the topicfolder_topic_list template, the batch size determines the number of items to display in each sortable table.
- Optional: indicate whether to display the calendar.
- Optional: select Stylesheet items to apply to this folder.
- Optional: select (or add if you have the correct permissions) one or more types for this folder.
