Plone Lessons
Up one levelMiscellaneous experiences we made whilst building this very Plone portal.
-
How to create read-only access to certain objects for certain users only
- Now, just like you we were thinking that hiding objects from the world and making them accessible for only certain users should be dead easy in Plone. It is not straightforward, but once you realise how it's being done it turns out to be really easy.

How to Create a Print View that Conforms with Conventional User Expectations
- Clicking the printer icon on a website will typically result in the browser displaying a print preview of the current website which then might be printed. However, Plone behaves differently, not making the user aware of the layout of the print output. We devised a neat solution that conforms with common user expectations based on the existing print stylesheet Plone makes use of.
-
IGTypes
- A Plone product primarily for academic use. It provides Course, Publication, Student, and StudentSubscription objects for Plone sites that allow easy student management, creation of folderish Course objects, and the creation of Publication objects for papers along with author, date, abstract, etc.
-
COREBlog within Plone
- We are using COREBlog not COREBlog2 for a subsection of our Plone-based website. The trouble has been that the archive did not work, it didn't show any entries.
