Introduction

Provides placeful configuration for components.

The following features for raptus.article are provided by this package:

Interfaces

• IConfigurableArticle (Marker interface for Articles with context-aware component configuration)

Dependencies

• raptus.article.core

Installation

To install raptus.article.gallery into your Plone instance, locate the file buildout.cfg in the root of your Plone instance directory on the file system, and open it in a text editor.

Add the actual raptus.article.configuration add-on to the "eggs" section of buildout.cfg. Look for the section that looks like this:

eggs =
    Plone

This section might have additional lines if you have other add-ons already installed. Just add the raptus.article.configuration on a separate line, like this:

eggs =
    Plone
    raptus.article.configuration

zcml =
    raptus.article.configuration

Note that you have to run buildout like this:

$ bin/buildout

Then go to the "Add-ons" control panel in Plone as an administrator, and install or reinstall the "raptus.article.configuration" product.

Usage

By default, components store their configuration in raptus.article property sheet in portal_properties. With raptus.article.configuration package you can override these settings for each instance of Raptus Article.

For now, the UI for per-context configuration is not polished yet. You have to use the ZMI to do it. Point your browser to http://<path>/<to>/<article>/manage_propertiesForm and use Add form to add a new property to your Article. Example:

• Name: images_galleryright_width
• Value: 600
• Type: int

The raptus.article.configuration will then first inspect the entire acquisition chain of an Article for properties before falling back to getting configuration from portal_properties.
