Creating Reusable Packages¶
We already created the package ploneconf.site
much earlier.
In this part you will:
- Build your own standalone egg.
Topics covered:
- mr.bob
Now you are going to create a feature that is completely independent of the ploneconf site and can be reused in other packages.
To make the distinction clear, this is not a package from the namespace ploneconf
but from starzel
.
We are going to add a voting behavior.
For this we need:
- A behavior that stores its data in annotations
- A viewlet to present the votes
- A bit of javascript
- A bit of css
- Some helper views so that the Javascript code can communicate with Plone
We move to the src
directory and again use a script called mrbob
from our project’s bin
directory and the template from bobtemplates.plone
to create the package.
$ mkdir src
$ cd src
$ ../bin/mrbob -O starzel.votable_behavior bobtemplates:plone_addon
We press Enter
to all questions except our personal data and the Plone version. Here we enter 5.0a3
.
