A modern, customizable approach to keeping your Plone site running smoothly
In the past few years we've seen some dramatic changes in the way Plone is being developed, deployed, and maintained. There are many common tasks that a new administrator or user attempts to perform with a Plone site, However, proper administration of a Plone site beyond the default settings still is a challenge, along with some other day-to-day maintenance.
This book covers all the administration and management tasks from setting up a development instance to optimizing a deployed production site and makes them available in a comprehensive how-to resource, which walks the user through the necessary settings and steps toward achieving these goals.
In this book, we have divided the subject of Plone site administration into three categories: development, deployment, and maintenance. The book starts with explaining some basics about how a Plone site is built and then explains how to start using Plone through the Web. Next, we add features by installing add-on products, focusing on new themes in particular. Once a Plone site is set up, the book teaches you how to change the appearance of your site. Till now we covered the basics of developing and deploying a Plone site; from here on we will cover the basics of maintaining it.
Further, throughout the book we preview some new technologies related to Plone site administration, available now as add-ons to the current Plone release. Finally, we will cover a variety of techniques to help optimize your site's performance when your Plone site has been developed, deployed, and maintained for some time.
- The basics of Plone site administration
- Installing Python, distribute, zc.buildout, and Plone
- Changing the appearance of your Plone site with freely available, professional-looking themes
- Automating maintenance tasks to keep your site running smoothly with less effort
- Securing, backing up, and restoring your Plone site
- Maximizing the performance of your Plone site by applying various site optimization techniques
This book is a tutorial guide, explaining many common and fundamentally important Plone site administration tasks.
This book is designed for site administrators or webmasters managing a site with Plone. These users will not be new to Plone itself, but they will be new to the admin tasks. The reader is also expected to know basic Python programming. This book focuses on these users and helps them become competent in getting their Plone sites up, running, and customized with minimal peripheral knowledge.
