Package README (CVS ver. 1.5)

CMF wrapper around Aerial Partners ExternalFile Product

Requirements:

  - "ExternalFile Product":http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFi-
  le

  - "CMF 1.3.1 or higher (1.4 recommneded)":http://cmf.zope.org/

Install:

  - copy ExternalFile folder in $zope/lib/python/Products

  - copy CMFExternalFile in $zope/lib/python/Products

  - create a CMF/Plone site

  - run an External Method (or use portal_quickinstaller)
    - id: install
      module: CMFExternalFile.Install
      function: Install
    - save
    - click 'test' tab

  - in CMF install external_editor using:

    - http://cmf.zope.org/Members/tseaver/20020723_external_editor_available

  - in Plone simply type this url in http://host/path/to/plone/add_ext_editor
    (which executes the add_ext_editor python script that will configure all
    your content types to have ext editor action)


Caveats:

  - All caveats of ExternalFile, whatever they might be

  - portal_types actions come configured as string: expressions so
  you will need to modify them for CMF1.3.1 and below.

  - If you remove a External File object in Zope it does not remove it
  from the Filesystem.  (Could put a attribute on portal_externalfiles tool to
  dictate this)
