Plone screencasts
last modified October 17, 2006 by nateaune
there is already a good collection of screencasts at http://learnplone.onenw.org (thanks to Jon and others) and http://zeapartners.org/scl/
(thanks to Paul) and http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za/plonedocs/movies/ (thanks Joris Goudriaan and Roché Compaan)
here are some ideas that i had for Plone screencasts:
groupware features
- publish a calendar from iCal/Sunbird to a Plone site (Calendaring + Marshall)
- create a collaborative workspace (TeamSpace)
- create a discussion board (Ploneboard)
- create a mailing list (listen)
- create a wiki (wicked)
web 2.0
- create and subscribe to RSS feeds (basesyndication/fatsyndication)
- display external RSS feeds in a Plone site (feedfeeder)
- create a directory of books in your Plone site (ATAmazon and Amazon API)
- create a directory of links in your Plone site (Tasty Bookmarks or azlinks)
content authoring
- drag-n-drop page layout using CompositePack (Godefroid's CompositePack screencast)
- more advanced Kupu features (photo placement/resizing, inserting internal/external links, configuring whitelists/blacklists)
- using external editor to edit files/documents in your Plone site
- automatically converting MSWord/Open Office documents to HTML
searching
- full-text indexing/searching of MSWord/PDF docs (use Kapil's patch to Archetypes.BaseObject.SearchableText method)
- using custom-search for more advanced searches
forms generation
- creating web-to-email forms with PloneFormGen
- creating Archetypes with ATSchemaEditorNG (use SignupSheet as example)
workflow and versioning
- submitting, reviewing and publishing content (walk the user through the process of typical Plone workflow) - Workflow screenshots
- versioning using CMFEditions (Paul's screencast - Paul - why doesn't this appear in the list of screencasts?)
I'm sure there are others, but those are just a few off the top of my head.
anyone interested in helpful create these screencasts?
there's a good tutorial about how to get started here:
