KNotes progress report: Plone 2.1, MYSQL
|
Blog Entry | 0 replies | 01-September-2005 | Mike Malloch |
Steve has provided this summary of the current status of KNotes for use in Plone 2.1 and MYSQL environments. We'll post further updates as further progress is made
Which RDBMS? :: PostgreSQL, MYSQLKnotes was built for speed, that's why it's been built using a RDBMS. During the development stages we used Postgresql throughout, this has led to some small non-standard, or shall I say 'non-MYSQL' code sneaking into some of the pre defined queries. This isn't a big issue and we already have a 'MYSQL friendly' version available. This just needs some thorough testing before being merged into the product. Support for Plone 2.1KNotes stores all related data (attachments,links...) in the RDBMS. To enable links and attachments to get their data storerd in the RDBMS, we created special versions of the standard 'Link' & PloneExFile products. The version of PloneExFile used for subclassing is now quite old and newer versions are not supported, this old version will *not* install in Plone 2.1. We will therfore drop PloneExFile as a dependency from any future release. ZAttachmentAttribute is required by PloneExFile, even when the dependency on PloneExFile has been removed we still need ZAttachmentAttribute for our own KNExFile. The version of ZAttachmentAttribute used at the moment (2.3) does not install without a few minor hacks to the installer script. Altough these are *very* minor, they are still of some concern. Apart from the problems outlined above, KNotes versions 0.7 alpha and above *will" install and work in Plone 2.1 |
